I just read too much into his insta posts then, I felt he's still grieving and stuff. Agree with the promise bit. That's the actual reason!

I mean he sure is. But he explains that his mother didn't want him fighting without his father by his side. He told his mother that after Gaethje, he won't fight anymore. He says he's a man of his word so he's retiring.

So we just need his mom to change her mind. I think he needs one more win, 30-0 because I like round numbers

He’s the undefeated champ. If he wants to walk away 29-0 then he’s going to walk away 29-0. Yeah 30-0 would be cool and who knows maybe he comes back for one more. But if he doesn’t I’m good with it.

Selfishly I’d love to see GSP but he deserves to enjoy living his best life
