The way you've looked in your last few fights is like your heart has already decided for you because it's not there anymore. You haven’t decided yet huh?

Fighting/combat or preparing for fighting/combat has been his life for several decades. It's not easy to walk away, especially if he doesn't have any other interests or a second career mapped out. But once you say out loud that you want to quit, it's just a matter of time. He’ll change his mind several more times.

Obviously he won't hold any belts, but I think he could pose problems for some of the better LHW's I still think he could do damage at 205, assuming he can properly make the weight cut.

I agree take some time and move camps. a change of the background can do a whole lot of differance. dropping down to 205????? only if his hear is into it cause that could be great.

When I think of his camp and his training methods.. for some reason I picture a bunch of old guys telling him to lift cinder blocks over his head. “I keep saying that what he needs to do is stop training in his backyard ASAP” — completely agree.

Very much like OG fighters were to other disciplines like Royce Gracie - Jiu-jitsu, Mark Coleman - wrestling, Maurice Smith – KickBoxing. Unfortunately, for him, it’s not 1999 anymore when these type of fighters could get away with their one-dimensional skills. The brutal KO’s he’s delivered over the years (in Pride) has giving him an arrogance against learning new skills and when things don’t go his way he usually becomes very passive (as he did against Fedor, Kongo, Hunt). I think it’s time for him to call it a career. Cro Cop has always been a very good kickboxer fighting in MMA.

I remember Ray Sefo. He lost 7 of his last 8 fights, then he decided to go to XTreme Couture, and came back way better. Even managed to score a decision victory over Hong Man Choi that, as much as he's not a good fighter, his height alone makes him too dangerous in any stand up competition. Find a better training camp, Mirko! And personally, I also think he should drop to 205. I keep saying that what he needs to do is stop training in his backyard ASAP. I remember Ray Sefo.
