Re: OFFICIAL Cut and Retirement thread
Bisping had a lot to say about the hip surgery and really isnt buying that is the reason he is retiring. Saying hip surgery isnt that big of deal saying both his ageing parents had them and its a quick recovery.
I kind of agree with Bisping, I think Ben now has a clear reality that he isnt that good and he will continue to get beat up should he continue.

Yeah maybe....he got his ass handed to him and beat up bad in 2 of the 3 fights and outclassed, albeit by one one the best grapplers in the game, in the 3rd fight. Ben's striking is a huge limiting factor for him

Re: OFFICIAL Cut and Retirement thread
when you say 2 of 3 which are you referring to? Lawler beat him up bad and that fight could have been stopped before Ben got the bulldog choke, and he went to sleep his other 2 fights....

I was referring to Lawler and Masvidal....he went to sleep against Maia but he didn't look horrible like he did in his first 2 fightsjax wrote:when you say 2 of 3 which are you referring to?

I heard that a few days back......and realised that I had totally forgotten he even existed! This guy had so much potential but was always injured and underperformed in his UFC run.

I get where Bisping is coming from, but not all hip surgeries are the same. Andy Murray(Scottish tennis player) went through numerous surgeries on his hip and ended up retiring because they could not get it right...….until one last more experimental surgery finally worked and he's back playing tennis again. Also, Ben is no kid, he's got a lot of damage on the body.....he failed in the UFC, but he did fight the very best from day one, he wasn't given any easy fights to get himself a win.

Thats true but he was overrated because of his record and his mouth, I was just glad to see him humbled ...I'm sure Dana is too.

Yea, his time was up at 39 but considering he came in as a late replacement and made a decent career at a late age is good for him...

Yeah there is 3 straight losses to high caliber fighters which is forgivable and won't necessarily get you released and then there is 3 straight losses to mediocre fighters, in lackluster performances

He's lucky to be there as long as he was. Between his sons illness, injuries and weight cut issues his biggest fight was just getting to the ring.
For the record he has pulled out of 9 fights....wow

Crazy maybe he has anxiety issues or something, because it seemed there was always an excuse to not fight.

I think that was an easy decision for Matt especially after his last fight. Still surprised about the Romero thing...prob a few factors...his age, prob makes decent coin, and maybe tough to deal with....surprised he didnt try 205

Wiman made a good call, he's been around forever.
As for Romero, I'm not sure what he makes but I'm sure that factored into it.....and Bellator and PFL have both said they are not interested in him.

Re: OFFICIAL Cut and Retirement thread
Looks like he signed with PFL already kinda assumed he would go to Bellator. Looks like the UFC is culling high priced guys that arnt big draws anymore. I can imagine the
revenue loss due to no gate draws anymore are part of the factor.

Re: OFFICIAL Cut and Retirement thread
Havnt heard that , but just read how his coaches are trying to get his motivation back. Well after getting beat up for 5 rounds against Usman then and another 5 round beating from Burns and then fight a guy who you have been trash talking with for years with CC and still get beat up for 5 rounds....If that cant get him motivated nothing will....

Well Struve V2 never developed and he was still fighting in the pocket with guys foot shorter then him...so he should call it a career as he has already taken many big blows to the head over the years.
