There was a good french fighter, Tom Duqesnoy I think. He looked pretty sharp.

Josh Barnett.

The guy won the title and then he was gone from the UFC. Went to pro wrestling after that because Pride didn’t give him a good offer.

His last MMA fight he was 38 tho

I love josh

But After pride, he bankrumped/closed a new promotion, joined the UFC for a 2nd time, had a few fun fight.

He had a great career imo.

And now he’s doing something he loves, grappling and wrasslin

Pissed hot and was stripped in the UfC after Randy, he did come back years later as well

TJ Grant concussed and never fought again.

Miller and Conrad both chose to leave MMA for a different career, not sure that qualifies here, maybe but their careers were stunted by their own choice.

I was mistaken about Josh. He came back during a time that I wasn’t watching closely.
