I love watching Genki fight, entertaining and skilled.
Good luck in whatever he chooses to do with his life.

"He wants to do fashion modeling."
I don't think he retired from MMA to bea fashion model full time. He stated that he wants to travel around the world to study how people achieve happiness and solve problems with each other.
He was and always will be more of a philosopher than a fighter.
WE ARE ALL ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
It's really a shame he had so few meaningful fights in his career.
All that and he gets paid :)
Cool
ttt for Genki
One of the most entertaining fighters ever.
Fighting is one tough fucking way to make a living. If Genki found a new path, I say Follow it, brother. I'm sure he will make his mark on whatever he chooses.
He strikes me as being a true individual.
** We Are All One**
"It's really a shame he had so few meaningful fights in his career."
Not really.
I think he accomplished the majority of his goals as a fighter. He inspired many people and showed us that MMA is more than just two guys beating the shit out of each other.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The shitty stoppage vs Kid in the final match of their LW tournament is way more depressing now !
I think he's just trying to follow in the footsteps of Japanese soccer superstar Nakata who recently retired in his late 20s to travel the world and "find himself". He'll obviously be back at some point.
Nakata retired?!?!?!
wtf???
ttt for one of the most talented interesting athletes in mma history.
MMA shines a little less brightly tonight.Love him or hate him, Genki Sudo was never ever boring.
Amazing guy that Sudo character...
ttt
Good Analysis Dogmeat, I too think Sudo is deep down an unhappy person. I hope he doesn't end up like the Japanese guy who traveled to Iraq and got beheaded.
ttt
WE ARE ALL ONE....
lol. from armchair MMA analyst to armchair psychologist
I think he is great for the sport and he will be missed.
