There is all this talk sometimes of fighters saying they will retire a fighter...etc., I believe Rory said it about BJ not sure on that one. Maybe it was nick. But recently Shael says he will retire Shogun....that's all talk, but sometimes talk becomes a reality..
Has any fighter actually ever officially retired some other fighter because they beat them to the point they couldn't continue anymore physically or mentally?
After the Matt Hammill vs. Jon Jones fight I believe Matt did say he was done with mma and I could see why but he still came back. Never the same though. That was close and I wouldn't have blamed him if he had retired after the blows he was getting hit with and then that Mazzaghatti incident where he asks him if he could continue..
