    It actually went further than the start of the fight,

    All week in the build up whenever Jorge dumped into Ben or was in the same room of him he put his hands behind his back to come across as passive ,
    His idea was to not make Ben feel threatened, he wanted Ben to feel relaxed and think there would be a feeling out stage,

    It was quite brilliant ,

    I don't think that was a tactic for just for Ben as he done the same thing when walking toward Leon Edwards after the Till fight

    Few there the other night who should seriously consider retirement,

    Sanchez
    Rockhold
    Holm

    Holm is 2-5 since she beat Rousey like, years since Sanchez beat anyone decent and Rockhold has a glass jaw.

    Rockhold look like he was carrying a few injuries into the fight. He certainly has a bad jaw but he has won plenty of decent fights despite it. He has plenty to offer yet.
    Sanchez will make money for a while yet as a litmus test for younger fighters. He isn't going to win titles again or beat top fighters but certainly still has enough about him to face up and comers.
    Holly Holm I agree with, she looks old in the ring in recent times.

    Holm was fighting possible the best female fighter of all time in fairness, as opposed to the two other lads who were put to the sword by a top 10 and maybe top 20 fighter respectively.

    While Holm maybe should retire, I feel the other two should definitely consider it. Sanchez is just too tough for his own good, and Rockholds body is just not tough enough it would seem (though he definitely remains a supremely skilled fighter).

    I think Luke is done , he has been ko'd 3 of his last 4 and moved up in weight where guys hit harder ,

    Yes your right he has plenty to offer he could beat 50% of the division but Luke was a champion and a made plenty of cash I can't see him fighting if he has no chance of a title , He is going to get ko'd against any of the top guys so probably best calling it day ,

    Luke is an incredible athlete but it certainly looks like he has been figured out as a fighter .
    his decision making is becoming increasingly poorer and you wonder if his heart is really in it anymore.

    Rockhold should go to Bellator, smash bums, become the champ, use it to boost his modelling career to make lots of Dosh even after he retires from fighting
