I’m usually against old guys continuing to fight, but he did look excellent in his last fight.

His wife is a well-known sadist…

How is consistently getting high rankings and title fights mismanagement?

Nonito isn't broke, he's fighting because it's all he knows. He lives like a monk -- never misses a day training, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, sleeps 10-12 hours every night, never takes a cheat day from his diet. His wife was a high level Taekwondo champion (won a collegiate national championship and a US military championship) and she's also his strength and conditioning coach. His father was a fighter, his brother was a fighter, his cousin was a fighter, his wife's father handles his security. Their entire family dynamic has involved combat sports for their entire lives. When he retires he will almost assuredly become a full time trainer.

There are a lot of weird incels that hate Nonito's wife and think she forces him to fight for some odd reason, but he fights because he loves it.

Turki needs to give this guy a serious payday so he can afford to retire. If you listen to him talk in interviews, its clear his faculties have diminished. Damn shame.
