         some of you may not know about Igor Vovchanchyn well he in my mind is one of the best fighters of all time. With a record of 47 wins 9loses 1 draw and 1 no contest. he has fought fighters such as Gary Goodridge (twice), Mark Kerr (twice), Kazushi Sakuraba, Mark Coleman, Gilbert Yvel, Valentijn Overeem, Heath Herring, Quinton Jackson, Mirko Filipovic, and Alistair Overeem. He has stated recently that he is not going to fight anymore. Here is what he said, I’m a businessman now. I won’t come back. Sure I think about it every once in a while, but I’m 35, you know. The main problem is the injuries. I can’t even strike with my right hand. I got three screws in my right elbow and one in the left. I’m about to undergo an operation on my nose as I can’t breathe right. To sum things up, there is no sense in my comeback.” link: . But the Korean MMA organization Fighting Mixed Combative had annouced that he will be fighting in September 26 of this year.

So what do you guys think about all this? Do you think its a good idea for him to go for it? Aftre all he has stated once that word for word, "I want to be the most famous fighter in the world and the richest. And you know what? I'll do it." Or do you think he should retire at the young age of 35?

I think it would be amazing to see him fight again, but with those kind of injuries and how long and hard he's been fighting, I doubt we'll see him again.
