For sure Korean Zombie's retirement will be part of this list next time around. Though he lost by KO, his retirement was very emotional and the crowd singing "Zombie" while he is walking out was just amazing to see.

I’m so happy I got to see Robbie’s last fight in person. What a great fighter and a great human being.

I’m 32 and was bawling and smiling while watching Robbie’s send off… he reminds me of my cousin who passed away… sooo humble soo quiet.. but a ruthless beast in the cage. Robbie gave so much to the sport and I’m so happy he got to see how much we care.

Fedor tapping Chuck on the belly and making him laugh was wholesome. From beginning to end Fedor always acted like this was just an enjoyable 9-5 job for him, never made it personal, or acted anything up, just a calm quiet guy, that loved fighting. True legend

Man.... That Lawler send off was legendary. The look on his face was absolutely priceless. So happy for him

One of my favorite videos from this channel. THANK YOU!

Surprised Mark Munoz wasn't on this list. Dude definitely did things right; retired before he could get seriously hurt, finished with an impressive win that proved he could have kept winning if he so chose.

Another great one was Mark Munoz's retirement. Dude was able to get a win in the Philippines and his post fight interview was very heartfelt and inspiring.

Nunes's retirement just shows how important motivation is for champions to stay at the top. Amanda lost some of the motivation (with the birth of her child) and decided to hang it up. She had the talent and skills to remain champ for several years more...but she just decided it was time. GOAT!

Bayliun has gotten a ton better at pronouncing names!! I greatly appreciate that! Not butchering the easier names.

5:30 Randy was in the army, not the Air Force. He was in the 101 Airborne Division (paratroopers), which was one of the units my father was in when he served (which was decades before Randy did) and that’s why as soon as he debuted he became my dad’s favorite fighter, and he’s probably the reason why I’ve been a fan of mma for as long as I can remember. We got UFC 1 when I was 3, but I don’t remember watching it live. The first one I remember was the Detroit Dance between Shamrock and Severn, but I got super into it when Randy came onto the scene, and he was the inspiration for me pursuing as many different styles of combat sports as I could find trainers for.

You're right bro. Randy earned the rank Sergeant before he got out of the Army. He was a lot of military folks favorite fighter.

Amanda Nunes became a fan favorite the second she lit Ronda up like a Christmas tree and she became a LEGEND the time she challenged cyborg when no one else would and went out and knocked her out in 1 minute for double champ status. Sure her retirement fight didn’t light the world on fire but she tripled the strikes her opponent threw and had that classic Nunes smirk while doing so. GOAT 🐐🇧🇷🦁🔥

Being born in 99 and growing up watching a lot of fighter on and off this list come up and retire I feel so spoiled and blessed

Randy got a big, patriotic sendoff. In Canada.

Fedor’s retirement gave me goosebumps. Amazing

the best at making mma videos

Think Rockhold deserved a spot on the list. his last fight was a fotn and he proved everyone wrong by showing his grit and toughness after everyone thought hed get completely destroyed by costa. earned a lot of respect despite him being clowned for much of his post championship career and had an earnest and emotional post fight speech

zack cummings and ed herman felt truly special. by the end, i wanted both guys to win but nothing can beat a hometown sendoff

Fedor really had The Avengers of MMA assemble for his retirement. GOAT shit only.

Robbie Lawler went out on his shield fighting hard to the end. Love that guy!

I've been watching the UFC for about 20 years, and the Zak/Ed retirement fight just felt cool. It was great to see them do it together. But, God damn was Fedor's special. Seeing all those legends joining him in the cage was so rad!

Fedor doesn't just transcend mma promotions. He transcends all. Fucking legend.

Sorry, the Robbie send off everything. Coming off a highlight KO, former champ, amazing crowd. All fighters deserve a special moment like this.

If you are a bigger guy like I am 6’4 275 been this way since high school… these are great shirts they fit tight in arms and shoulders and a little loose in the belly. The one drawback they are pretty short and if you have a belly it might not cover you up completely when active. But they are very comfortable and breathe well. Just giving you guys an honest non-paid review of classic tees I am wearing one now. Oh yeah they don’t shrink much either. I suggest the 3 pk unless you wanna shell out 100$ for 5 shirts. Peace !!!

I've said it once I've said it 1000 times. Guys like Christ Lytle deserve hall of fame mentions. Just blood and guts warriors.

Bayliun, on behalf of all Americans you are absolutely invited to the cookout brother.

Robbie, amanda and mark munoz are my favorites. All great people

Great video.. Terrible number one placement

Amanda Nunes never ducked a fight with another great fighter. She took on Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg, Valentina Shevchenko, Holly Holm, Miesha Tate, and every other contender for the best female fighter and beat them all. Other than an uncharacteristic loss to a not particularly impressive fighter near the end, she had an almost perfect career. Most fighters can't end their career on the top like that.

Robbie’s last fight was like a movie

Who else is here after Korean zombies retirement? That one was special

No Paul Daley? His final fight ending in a second round KO was the perfect sendoff to a long career

So happy I went to Robbies last fight

I'm so happy that Robbie got to retire on a win, his 2nd fight vs Rory McDonald got me back into watching the UFC. Thank you, Ruthless!
