Alan Belcher retires(?)

Per BJPENN.com he's done with mma. The video won't load for me so I don't know the actual context but yeah.

Anyone have details? Phone Post 3.0

Don't see it. What's the link?

I saw it on fb too Phone Post 3.0

Hate to see it. Great fighter. He has a very nice gym and glad that he will be passing along his knowledge. Phone Post 3.0

Unfortunate. He looked like he was at his peak in the Palhares fight. Phone Post 3.0

He choked a man in Reno just to watch him tap.

He sounds 'done'

 

Damn :( Phone Post 3.0

He recently just lost a bjj match against Rodolfo Vieira. Phone Post 3.0

I was there when he beat Palhares. Best of luck if true. :(

He said he lost the love to fight when he kept getting injured Phone Post 3.0

One of my favorites. Glad to hear he will continue teaching. Phone Post 3.0

Man after the Palhares fight I thought he was going to become a legit MW title contender. Not even 2 years later he's retiring at age 29. Injuries fucking suck.

Maybe he will step away for a bit and come back in a few years. Obviously he is going to stay around the fight game so if he can take it easy a couple years to teach he might be able to come back with a healthy body to make another run. He is still young.

Me too. That was one of the most mind blowing performances I've seen in the cage. Best of luck to The Talent!

Yes.

He'll be back. Phone Post 3.0

He says in the video that he's retiring until the summer of 2014, when he'll decide if he'll fight again. If he does come back he said it'll likely be at 205.
