Honestly, I've never been a super huge fan of Renan, but I respect how incredibly dangerous he and dominant he was for the vast majority of his career. Anything besides retirement I really would just not be a fan of.

That’s about as sad an ending to a career as I’ve seen in this sport.

Unfortunately, his inevitable Bellator run will be incredibly brutal.

I don't think he'll be let go yet. But he seems like he's lost the eye of the tiger.

man Renan was the guy i must have watched every big time fight he had i remember literally thinking "this guy.... is never gonna be not-champion..." weird circle but he did well for himself especially if you convert usd to brazilian dollar , / compare living expenses etc

@twspencer not as sad as Ortiz vs Liddel 3. I can't even imagine how depressing a swansong would need to be to top that.

The UFC should have fights on different surfaces like tennis has matches on like, grass, turf and clay or whatever. You know, sand, ice, hot sauce...  I should slow down on this blunt.

I agree. For WMMA, the octagon needs to be filled with Jelly and they fight naked.
