Came in looking like a fat MW, apprehensive as fuck, gets KO'd in the first real exchange.
This is what it looks like when your chin is dust from years of punishment and you are off the special supplements.

In any case he's done in the UFC.
4 bad losses in a row mostly to top comp but he didn't look right that night. I like the guy but he's clearly not the same fighter. Maybe take a break or have a few fights in some smaller orgs.
John Travoltage - Did he look fatter than he usually does? I couldn't tell.He was ripped af
PTM2020 -Take a break? He hadn't fought since June 2014.

ChubbsPeterson -Probably time to hang them up...definitely looked off and cant take a punchPTM2020 -Take a break? He hadn't fought since June 2014.

Should have waited until June. 2 years = fully refreshed.
Maybe the reason he looked like a fat MW was because the fight was at LHW
I think one would need to have a severely distorted perception of people's bodies to call Te Huna fat. He is more muscular and lean than the vast, vast majority of human beings.
Guy is not even close to fat. Last time he was at lhw he was cutting 5lbs. Source: him. I like the guy and see him around town so I find it very hard not to get pretty passionate about his fights. He has said himself in an interview that it's a mental thing holding him back. I don't want to see him get KO'd like that at all. Hopefully he either sorts his mind out or looks at something else to do in the sport.
Hard to watch him ko'd like that, I wish him the best.
I heard from a reliable source that TeHuna had lesions on the brain in a pre-fight scan but the UFC still let him fight (probably didn't review the doctors report properly). The lesion turned into brain bleeds after the fight so he's not in a good way. I pretty sure Te Huna is done fighting if this is correct.

You're right, calling him fat isn't right, he looks like a natural middle weight but he's not fat at LHW.
Fuck I hope that's not true. And if so, hope he will be ok. He's only 34.
Jimmy Recard - Hard to watch him ko'd like that, I wish him the best.I felt bad at first too, then I remembered he stomped Anthony Perosh's head after the bell and then I took great pleasure in watching the replay...

Hope he'll be ok
Remember when he stomped on great guy Anthony perosh after koin him just before he got signed to the UFC, cya tehuna

Shogun rattled his brain for life. Dude should have retired after such a scary KO. Now this one against Bossé wasn't as bad but it was close. He needs to call it quits to preserve his health.
