I used to watch JWP on youtube. Hes definitely gotten older and slower but great to see he still loves to fight.

This was very interesting to see. I always wondered which style would come out on top given how similar they are. It's like watching Karate vs Taekwondo; similar but different enough to be entertaining to watch.

It's precisely because of people's respect for him that they wanted him to hang them up in the first place. Hard to see a legend of the sport fighting on way past their best and getting battered, JWP had no business fighting still at this point. Of course it's his decision and you have to respect that, but fans of his arguably just wanted to see a man who's given so much to the sport bow out with grace rather than fight on too long and potentially get seriously damaged.
