Rickson not sure if Belfort is ready for Anderson title fight
“Vitor always had the potential to win using his explosiveness. If you make a mistake versus him, he has heavy big hands. [Franklin] really was a good night for him. He landed a good punch and won with his style. Nothing out of the ordinary for him, nothing surprising at all”.
The legendary jiu-jitsu master also said he won’t be having a farewell MMA fight at all, something that has been speculated on for the last few years. There will not be a farewell fight. I’m very retired, he said, adding that no amount of money could change his mind.
It’s not for money at all. That’s my decision and it was planned. I already had my competition time and now my perspective and competitive desires are focused in another field. It’s important to find the time to stop. It’s no to keep forcing it. What happened is over. Now it’s time to move on.
