MisterMuayThai Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 UFC greats such as Randy Couture, Mark Coleman, Chuck Liddell, Bas Rutten, and Royce Gracie have all decided to step away from the Octagon. How much more of this will we see in the next few years to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForcexrecoN Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 You can't fight forever. Plus all the new-school MMA fighters are coming in who aren't one dimensional and have freak athleticism. Something the older guys didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor_Obviously Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'd say 10-12 years is a good fight career. Unless you're Royce Gracie or Travis Fulton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMuayThai Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Throughout these posts me and you haven't agreed on alot. But I definitely agree with you there. I'm not a Tito fan by any means. Although, I'll admit he has good wrestling and ground n' pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimatefightingchamp Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah, not only pride legends got old, UFC legends also got old and arguably even more washed up. But people are stupid and selective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiting Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I think 10 years from now when the stars of today begin to retire it will be interesting to watch - as it stands now legends from the founding years clear up to the mid 00's were easy to spot, they stood head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of skill. Now with the field constantly leveling out more and more and the gap in talent from main event star to development prospect closing, it will be interesting to see who is regarded as iconic and who will fade quietly into obscurity.
