Glover is a good one.
Wasnât his last win against Mark Weir where he was confidently losing until he won!
IIRC, he was supposed to fight a big name next, but declined and then retired.
I honestly donât remember or know much about him other than he was undefeated with a win over shields when he retired.
Relied on the internet for additional details.
Couture fought at least once a year from
1997-2011 .
I do remember him having an issue with the UFC, or getting black-listed or something, but he did remain active.
His last fight in 2011 he was 48 years old.

Damnit I had one more now i cant remember whođ¤
Edit to add i was thinking Paulo Filho, but he fought until age 36 and fought at least once a year from 2004-2014.
He came to mind because he started 16-0, lost in a bizarre performance vs chael, and kind of fell under the radar.
Perhaps the argument can be made that mental health issues stunted his career.

Whatâs the story here?
Last I knew, he was supposed to be King Shit of Turd Mountain but then seemingly randomly retired.
I heard he had some disease effecting his immune system or something, and he wanted to go to med school.
