He gave us many wonderful fights and had a great impact on MMA, all to the good. Never understood those who disliked him.

I guess now's as good a time as ever to tip my hat in respect to a monstrous career.

It's too easy to forget the past. But we wouldn't be where we are without them.

Let's not forget BJ Penn, Bill.
Oh, and if you read his autobiography you might change your mind about him being a role model. I never liked the guy but his picture is in my home gym because a former training partner of mine used to go to Matt's school. I respect him for what he did for the UFC but I never thought he should have been champ after the contraversy with Carlos Newton (one of my top ten all time favorite fighters), or the totally bogus headbutt win over Gil Castillo. Didn't really think much more about him when he celebrated GSP getting Serra'd. Still, in the long run he was great for the sport so I can overlook any personality flaws I perceive him as having.

I think the title they gave him is misplaced. I don't care for the guy. But I hope he does well for himself.

I have to agree with most of the guys here. I disliked him for the Carlos Newton botched win, also, he only beat BJ because BJ injured himself beating on Hughes. That was just on a professional level, then I met him at a meet and greet, and what a ********.
Maybe he did bring in some folks to the sport, but I will never give him his due as a pro.He's like a more skilled, welterweight Brock Lesnar.
