"How many times has he been knocked out? I know he's a young man, but he's been knocked out more than a few times ... At some point, someone really needs to ask the question, should he still be fighting? That many concussions, so quickly, and at this young age ... a person has two types of age, chronological and physiologic age. Stefan's license may say he's 25, but in physiologic years, he's much, much older than that, with all the concussive force that he's sustained ... I'm sure nobody will like to hear this, but Stefan Struve really needs to think about retiring."
"If it's not him that will make that decision, then Dana White needs to start talking to him about retiring. The question out there is how many sustained concussions is too many, and according to the latest literature that's coming out, the answer is starting to look like it's somewhere between two and three. That's where you start having permanent changes."

- Because theyre doctors and know WAY more than us non doctors.
I know he can't keep getting KO'd like that, but at least in this case he wasn't out, he was rocked I mean Hunt broke his ******* shin!
- Doesnt matter if you dont go out. Going out, has nothing to do with concussions. You can get a worse concussion by not getting knocked out.
