Blades should retire. He is 30...not 22

He has been koed stiff, he is done.

Can he avoid Nganou/bb for his whole career?
No one has ever been ko'd stiff and found success afterwards. Decibels became champ afterwards.

Kill yourself keyboard warrior douchebag.
 
It sounds cold, but I believe the UFC should use this as an opportunity to cut him.

Blaydes is obviously very talented, but probably not champion-quality and his style is far from fan-friendly.

At this point there's no real benefit in keeping him around. All he's going to do is beat the middle and upper-middle tier guys (probably in boring fashion) and then crash and burn against the elite.
Blaydes has wins over Overeem, JDS and Volkov, and he is only 30 years old. Why would they want to get rid of a young top 5 HW?

Bellator would love it.
 
Get out of here. He just loses the fight that would make him next up for a title shot. He's well rounded and tough, he'll fight for a title one day
 
Only losses are a quick TKO to Francis, this scary KO and a Dr. Stoppage....

Honestly he just does not have it, he is taking some serious damage. On paper he has all the skills to be great but he just does not have the fight iq.

He is tailor made to beat Lewis and Nganou but he has no power and he really is not a great wrestler.

Cain/DC are great mma wrestlers Blades is not. He has the credentials but he is not built like a HW mma wrestler.

I don't think he has anything to offer the sport. He will clearly never be great.

Jack of all trades

He needs to retire.
Imagine all the intelligent Fedor fans that have to cringe and see you post
 
The #2 ranked ufc HW who has only lost to francis and lewis 'has nothing to offer'.

Just another day on sherdog
 
lose one fight and retire? he's one of the best heavyweight fighters in the world. you think 30 is old?!?!? look up how old every top ten heavyweight is.
 
lol no

he can win shitloads of fights in the ufc and keep making money
 
30 is 22 in HW years.
 
He's the best fighter at Heavyweight besides Stipe Ngannou and 30 is young for Heavyweight but sure... He should retire lol. He can still come back better.
 
If he's 30 he'll have about another 25 years as a top UFC HW...maybe 20.

Seriously, WTF? You retire because you get KOed 3x by mega power punchers?

Even if you don't win a belt (TBD by the way), you can still carve out a good career for yourself.
