Biggest premature retirements in mma

[Johnnny]

I would've liked to have seen Khabib get a few more defenses in

He didn't have a choice. He couldn't make 155 anymore and he didn't want to go back to welterweight.

 

[Egészségére!]

Zabit & Terrell big time but mentioned already

Cejudo maybe?

 

[Shaddows]

BJ Penn

WHUT?
BJ was quite the opposite of early retirement, going out after 1-9-1 record...
His last fight against Frankie was so bizarre, I stopped hating on him and pitying him!

He should have retired right then and there.

I think he could despite it being a tough weight cut but again, losing his father was the reason.

I always felt like Dennis Bermudez hadn't hit his peak yet when he retired.

He’s been my boxing coach since I was like 14 years old so I have a lot of love for him and have seen how great he is day in and day out. He brought me to all the big camps with him back in the day. Tito even paid him to help him prepare for a fight vs Chuck and we went to Big Bear. Let’s just say Jeremy would have been a problem for anyone in the world at LHW.

That was a really fun and deep pull.

Cool you got to be around during those times and meet such an interesting character in MMA/boxing

Dont listen to that guy,seems to hate the russians. That is all he ever posts about.

The mods should tell him to fuck off back to the war room

I think there is more truth in this than Khabib fans like to admit. The last couple of times he made weight the look of relief on the scales was crazy. His also set himself up to keep earning so his still making money.
