Dana White thinks Matt Hughes and Forrest Griffin should retire
As part of the UFC on FOX 4 pre-fight press conference Dana White spoke to a group of reporters about UFC legends Matt Hughes and Forrest Griffin. Check out what he had to say below:
On Matt Hughes:
“I absolutely, positively want Matt Hughes to retire. What else is there to accomplish? The guy’s done everything. He’s been a staple in this organization for a long time. He’s been f—— awesome. There’s nothing left to prove.”
On the similarities in situations between Hughes and Chuck Liddell:
“It’s so hard for these guys to say ‘I’m retired.’ It’s so hard. The same thing with Chuck, I’m going through it with Matt.”
On Forrest Griffin:
“I would like Forrest to retire. There’s nothing left for Forrest to prove, either. He won ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ he’s had an amazing career, he won the title when everyone thought he couldn’t, he’s made s— loads of money, he’s got a beautiful wife, he’s got a baby.
On why they should retire:
“I get it – it’s hard to walk away from walking into the arena with the big crowds and all the s—. But there’s a point in time when it’s like, ‘You’ve done your thing, man. You’ve had an amazing career, you’ve done great things – there’s nothing left to prove.’
