Place to talk about the **sport** of mixed martial arts
I'd like to see the Chris retire from MMA and go back to grappling competitions.
Exactly. I don't think he'll be back better than ever
I've just always found it fascinating how a fighter can be a world beater one day and then after a loss, they just spiral.
Just look at his career alone. He beats Silva. Silva falls off a cliff. Weidman loses to Rockhold and he starts to spiral. Rockhold goes on to lose and he starts to spiral.
Tony, Woodley, and the list goes on. Father time plays a part obviously, but once that spark goes, it's over.
