What part of it would he come back for? “We’re told by him that he doesn’t need the money, we can see that his time is occupied. A lot of fighters cling to the sport because they have nothing else to do. “He’s got a beating standing in front of him. We can go 155 [pounds], we can go 170, we can make up a weight class. “We’ve got a guy who can’t breathe for a full round. This is just a reality, there’s nothing to come back for…there’s no reason to come back.”
