Big John did call a press conference to announce his retirement, So Its seems a little weird that they claim he wanted to keep it quite. But thats just the way the UFC’s PR machine seems to work.

Greetings

I do not doubt that Big John would rather go out this way. As far as him going elsewere, He should be able to go and do whatever he wants to do. He is a wonderful asset to have and any orginization would be glad to sign him on.

Goldy kept referencing Big John as the best, I kept waiting for him to finish the thought. very strange but hey the ufc has a rep to keep up of burning everyone that doesnt play along.

Or maybe this really is how John wanted it. When in 14 years has he ever called the slightest bit of attention to himself?

I wish they would have made an announcement at the Finale, he does deserve it. I agree, Zuffa is a little hurt that he’s going somewhere outside Zuffa.
