What is wrong with Dana White here? Why is he becoming the guy to announce a fighter's retirement? He first did this with Chuck Liddell, then, more recently I believe also Rich Franklin? And I just heard him saying in articles on Bleacher Report that he thinks BJ Penn and Matt Hughes should retire. The ego on this guy. Why does White have to make it all about him? Why not meet with these guys privately, tell them they think they should retire and that they won't sanction anymore fights for them in the UFC, then let the fighter announce their own retirement. That way the attention stays all on the fighter and they get to go out with some more dignity.
I don't know, maybe I'm crazy here, but don't you guys think fighters should announce their own retirements and if the guys in charge of the UFC think it's really unsafe for a fighter to continue to compete, then just say you won't let them fight, if they decide to go to a different promotion? Or they can let these fighters finish out their contracts and not resign them.
