I absolutely respect this decision, so many fighters need to make that same call yet fail to do so for whatever reason.
🚨 Joaquin Buckley just announced that he will be RETIRING from MMA after his next fight "[My grandma] told me to retire and get away from fighting. I took some time, I slept on it, and I realized that my grandmother is right. I gotta save myself from anymore damage. This is the last one, but we gonna make our last one the best one."

Out of the UFC’s 11 current champions, 5 didn’t beat the reigning champion to win the belt. Nearly half. To me, you should have to beat the champ to become the champ. That’s what makes the belt feel important, and I feel like we’re getting further and further away from the titles being truly lineal. When we keep creating interim titles and holding vacant title fights, it significantly devalues what being UFC champion is supposed to mean.

Ciryl Gane calls Tom Aspinall "mentally fragile" for the way he reacted after the eye poke 😬 "We knew he was a little mentally fragile. Brother, you got poked in the eye. You have the right to stop. That's your right. But you don't need to do everything you did. Honestly when my finger went into his eye, my feeling was that it wasn't forceful at all. It looked forceful, but it didn't feel forceful to me. It happened to me before actually, against Derrick Lewis when I won the belt. I saw double for 3 or 4 minutes. He poked me in the eye, and my vision hadn't recovered and I kept fighting like that. I didn't complain about it. These things happen, you know what I mean." (via @ZackNaniTV)
