We all love Tony but you just can't stay in the lightweight division at his age. I wonder if he's on a reasonably lucrative contract and he wants to cash out each of his paydays regardless of his long-term health.

It's not just age. He has taken so much punishment. Mostly in the Gaethje fights but also the submissions lately. Add to that surgery and age and yeah. He should have retired already, so sad to see :(
