Do not ruin their legacy.

In my opinion, a fighter who loves to fight will fight beyond the point where they have the advantage of youth. Some fighters quit when they aren’t prime anymore (GSP @32) while others continue to fight, even though they may have diminishing physicality.

People say a loss ruins a legacy (BJ, Anderson, Fedor) but I don’t think that continuing to fight is a bad thing versus quitting and only picking winnable fights (GSP vs Bisping then vacate).

It sucks to lose...
