Hope he retires. Hare to see legends get old and still try and fight.
Either retire or go to Bellator where all the retirees are.
WTF would he accept a fight with an up and comer like Yair? Why would Dana allow it? What happened last night was exactly what happened to him in his last 3 fights. I was just thinking that we need to pit him against another old vet, a guy by the name of Siver and forgot that's what they tried to do last summer (from Wiki):
Siver was expected to face returning veteran B.J. Penn on June 4, 2016 at UFC 199.[33] However, Siver was forced out of the bout in early May with an undisclosed injury.[34]
Yah at 38 years old why would you accept a fight with a top 10 contender is beyond me. I could see if Penn was on some kind of winning streak like Dan Henderson was, but this dude was on a 3 fight losing streak and hasn't fought in almost two years.
The question isint why did he accept it, as a matter of pride a fighter like BJ wouldn't turn down a fight. The better question is why the f**k would Dana offer him this fight? Seems to me he wanted to capitalize and BJs star power to build up Yair.
