the disagreement is that he COULD come back if he chose to
whether he SHOULD come back is where we agree

chris Weidman's a good dude
he celebrated but when he saw the extent of the injury he seemed sincerely concerned
even pushing in-ring security to move aside and let Anderson's corner in
Weidman's family as they took Anderson away on a stretcher

Yeah he's a nice guy and all but I hope Vitor beats him brutally but I doubt that that will happen.
Ronda needs a new nickname because goldman and joe have a hell of a time saying "Rowdy Ronda Rousey" hahah i don't think they got it right one time lastnight!
^Goldberg*
haha"goldman" is a running inside joke but i realized none of you are "inside" so it just makes me look like an idiot LOL

I can't stop celebrating... I just wish GSP had got his too, before running away to retirement still clutching his belt.
Yes, I agree that he shouldn't.
I'm not saying that he couldn't, but that he will not.
He could come back, but he wouldn't be close to the same. He relies on that leg for power kicks, as well as power punching, and moving in and out. That's definitely going to mess with him mentally, and he'll never be confident throwing that kick again, and probably hesitant with his other leg as well.
He is out for 6 months regardless, but if he chooses to get the metal rod out that's been inserted, that's another 6 months, so he won't be able to train till 2015. If he doesn't have the rod removed, the bone around the rod will be even more susceptible to break.
After he has a year off (provided that everything goes according to plan and he doesn't re-injure himself), he'll be out of shape etc., and I just don't see him coming back. That was career ending injury, in my opinion, given his age and the accomplishments he's already attained. As you said, he doesn't really have anything to prove. Add this surgery to his multiple shoulder and elbow surgeries, and he probably feels older than 38 already.
cruz out of the barao unification bout due to groin injury, vacates his title. barao is now the champ
what the crap?! damn, I really wanted to see that fight.
urijah faber steps in on short notice to face barao. although there is no one else deserving, i just don't see faber having anything more to offer barao than he did in their first meeting.
cruz just can't catch a break, maybe he's done.
