x2.
Hij heeft toch geen slechte carriere gehad imo.
Jardine, Ortiz, Munoz, Petruzelli en Jones :P (ik weet het lol) heeft hij verslagen.

[Kemal]

Jammer, hij had toch nog wel even mee gekunnen..

[Pahlavan]

Today is a sad day for me. After six years and 13 fights in the UFC I'm ready to hang up my gloves and retire from this amazing sport.

The UFC has been extremely good to me and given me an opportunity to make a great living. That exposure has allowed me options outside the Octagon as well. I just don't have it in me to fight anymore and my last two performances have shown that.

I was ready to make this decision after UFC 130 but my friends, family coaches and most importantly my daughter encouraged me to give it one last chance. My career has been plagued by injuries starting with The Ultimate Fighter and disrupted my training ever since. There hasn't been even one training camp where I've been able to train without training around an injury. I have not been kind to my body and it has nothing left after 28 years of non stop competition. It's time to finally give it a rest.

I can't continue to fight without having the hunger and desire to do so. I can't let my performances reflect on my coaches who are the best in the world and the reason I've made it this far.

I have fallen in love with the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (http://www.mmafighting.com/) and I will continue to coach at our gym Mohawk Valley MMA along side my teammates and help the next generation of fighters make it to the UFC. I also look forward to continuing my business ventures outside the UFC including "Hamill" the movie based on my life story set to be released this fall.

I want to thank Dana White, Joe Silva Lorenzo Fertitta and everyone at the UFC for the opportunity to make something special out of my life.

Thank you to Duff, Holmes, Bruno Tostes, Dave Kingwater, Renzo Gracie (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/renzo/gracie/725/), Tim Greene, Daniel Gracie (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/daniel/gracie/723/), Pat Popolizio, Ron Gross, Doug Blubaugh and Mark Dellagrotte.

Thank you to all my training partners who have shared their blood sweat and tears with me along the way. Thank you to all my friends and family for their unconditional support and most of all thank you to my fans! It's the fans that have made this the truly special experience it has been. The UFC has become family to me and I hope to be involved with the number one mixed martial arts organization in the world as a coach, ambassador and fan for a long time to come.

[superfreak]

Wens hem het allerbeste. Jongens die zo jong beginnen met worstelen hebben wel vaker last van slijtage. Slim dat hij op tijd stopt. Komt een filmpje aan over zijn leven daar zal hij ook wel genoeg centjes mee verdienen om rustig te kunnen leven.

[Baske]

Jammer... Maar als ik 't zo lees kan ik 't best goed snappen. Nou maar hopen dat je we hem vaak in de hoek zullen zien!

x2;)

[Mule-Kick]

Jammer idd, maar denk wel dat hij op een goed moment gestopt is. Meer dan een gatekeeper was hij nooit geworden meer.

[marcelt]

Hij heeftgelijk. Hij kan niet meer mee op het hoogste niveau. Respect voor de man !

[Juul]

De zus van een van mijn beste vrienden is doof. Moeder van twee kinderen en een full time baan. Maakt ondanks handicap iets van het leven. Mede daarom volgde ik Hamill met grote bewondering voor wat hij ondanks zijn handicap heeft bereikt. Kijk erg uit naar die film over zijn leven.

[Danielos]

Jammer, maar wel slim lijkt mij. Hij is niet meer zo goed als eerder.. Ben ook benieuwd naar zijn film

[Lionheart]

Heb altijd bewondering voor deze vechter gehad en zijn vechtlust.
Met een handicap op het hoogste niveau meedraaien, respect!

Wens hem het beste met het coachen van ander talent.

Sommige mensen vinden dit hard maar zoals Dana zegt, het gaat er niet om of ze goed of slecht over je praten, zolang ze maar over je praten.

Oke, voor degene die denken dat Davis, Gustaff, GSP, Ortiz, Rogan echt zulke klootzakken zijn, die van hun zijn duidelijk niet echt:P
Die van Dana wel, hij is een k-zak.

Edit: oke Dana ook niet.
