Don't forget about Carlos Condit, and many others, too

Thanks for subscribing/supporting this page. Here’s where you can do so, if you haven’t already. Whenever an MMA legend retires, I experience two feelings: Sadness and worry. Sadness because it marks the end of an era in the sport. I’m feeling that a lot these days because the guys and gals who were fresh faces when I started my MMA journalism career are slowly but surely calling it a career, and that just bums me out.
I remember when Condit won the Interim belt.So sad to see all these great fighters retiring. Benavidez was another great. These fighters give so much of themselves. Thank you for allowing me to witness the art of fighting at its most beautiful & truthful. You gladiators deserve the world.
A fantastic tribute for the NBK, hope he somehow sees it. A true legend. The UFC *needs* post-career support for these guys. Not maybe, not later — now now now.
