Eat This Glob: Jan 14, 2008; God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

a child conceived during robbie's UFC debut (no judgement) could celebrate his retirement fight with a beer at the bar. that's wild

Other than Nunez and Lawler, who has had a successful final fight? Is there a top 5 retirement fights?

In my mind I can only think of the people who retired after losing so it seems like a mostly sad event.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Nate Diaz getting a submission with 2:0 loving 9 on the clock is the best thing in MMA history.

I guess it wasn't a retirement fight but Nate managed to win over Fergeson and more importantly Dana.
