    Top 3 Fighters who need to hang it up

    1. Dan "Hendo" Henderson. Once a great fighter with huge KO power. But has overstayed in the fight game and has been TKO'ed his last few fights. Hendo needs to hang it up before his brains get more scrambled than they already are. He has took massive amounts of head-damage the last few years.

    2. Ruan Potts. If you didn't see all his UFC fights or just last weekend. Guy is the ultimate-Can

    3. Josh Koscheck. This is a hard one for me to say since I've been a fan of Kos since TUF 1. At one time Kos had the best wrestling/double-leg take-down in the WW division. Hasn't been the same since GSP wrecked his orbital facial-bone. Guy hasn't been himself since. The Ellenburger fight it didn't even look like the Kos I been watching 10 years. He still has 1 or 2 fights left on his UFC contract. I wouldn't be mad if he decided to hang it up today. Hopefully he will fight a can his next fight so he can go out with a W.


    Who are your top 3 fighters who need to hang it up?

    Cain V he gets hurt to much
    John Jones cause he is young and is getting into bad stuff
    Cris Weidman because for one of the first times he had an injury that he couldn't fight with. Those are my three.

    All fighters should hang it up, they just don't seem to have it any more, are all just doing it for a pay check and will only be getting KOd from here on out.

    Mauricio Shogun Rua - His best days are way behind him and I hate to see him go down. Just a completely different fighter as his skills have diminished each time he steps inside the octagon. I guess I wouldn't mind as much if he fought unranked fighters.

    Ken Shamrock - One of my favorites but his passion is still fighting and that's what he loves to do. At age 50, he's still in good shape but I hope he doesn't get KO'd when he does the bare knuckle boxing and in Bellator vs Kimbo. He was a decent striker in his Pancrase days but he needs to stick to his submission game vs Kimbo to stand a chance. He can't allow his ego to get the best of him and try to stand and bang vs a hard hitter.

    Dan Henderson - While still in very good shape for his age, he just can't keep up with the younger talents anymore. The H-bomb is still dangerous but it appears that all the wars have finally caught up with him. One of the best MMA fighters of all time that took on the baddest competition and epic battles against W. Silva and Fedor.

    AFAIK, Kyacey Uscola is in prison for assaulting the mother of his child. I wouldn't mind if he were banned from the sport. These were her injuries. Taken from http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/1/18...ction-mma-news

    "A punctured lung, eight broken ribs, two lumbar fractures, an orbital fracture and a life-threatening pancreas laceration."

    He has a 23-25 record.

    He's 2-8 in his last 10 fights against subpar competition.

    http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Kyacey-Uscola-9288

    He got kicked out of team alpha male for domestic abuse & given his reputation it is possible no one with credibility will train or spar with him.
