News Damir Ismagulov retires

[Superior]

USADA’d?

 

[DreyDay]

A couple bags of rice and a few goats would probably set him up

*Horses, not goats

 

[Alpha-Q-Up]

You do not see stuff like this in sports that actually pay their athletes like athletes.

All imma say

 

[World eater]

Horrible news. He was a decision machine, but a very promising fighter. I checked some online articles from eastern Europe, but they all issued pretty much the same statements without disclosing the nature of the health issue troubling him. Bad start to 2023.

 

[empsim]

Perhaps not worth risking their health nowadays with such poor financial reward

Gonna be a rude awakening when they see the financial rewards for most 9-5 jobs.

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

Arman just out here retiring fellas

“Unfortunately, due to circumstances and health problems, I am forced to end my sports career,” Ismagulov wrote in Russian. “Thanks to all those who were with me regardless of the outcome in the battles, who were sincerely sick and worried. It was an interesting journey, a moment to remember. (Give) everyone a hug.”

that is sad, good fighter, might be related to his spasms that he has

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Hopefully its nothing too serious, and he has a speedy recovery.

He is low key one of the best LWs in the game.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

An excellent fighter

 

[CerebralKnievel]

that is sad, good fighter, might be related to his spasms that he has

I assumed he just had tourettes.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Damn, that's a shame. Helluva fighter, wish him well in retirement.

 

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

I know exactly how he feels. I had to end my thumb wrestling career due to untreatable hemorrhoids. Life sucks sometimes.

 

[Sakurabaism]

I assumed he just had tourettes.

Yeah, the tick he has worsened in his fight with Arman compared to when he fought Guram.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Hopefully its nothing too serious, and he has a speedy recovery.

He is low key one of the best LWs in the game.

He literally just said he's forced to end his sports career. Sounds pretty serious. Not necessarily life endangering, but competitive career ending. Perhaps a progressive condition of sone sort. Or a heart condition

 

[Coolkid666]

He will be back. Lovato Jr's brain was melting or something and he came back from retirement

 

[Tweak896]

What a shame. I thought he was going to run up the ranks at LW if he got the chance to. Must be serious to just retire with no questions in his prime. Wish him the best.

 

[davidlemonparty]

Wow this was unexpected. Fucking sucks. The guy was legit. He was a future title contender for sure which is really saying something in that division

 

[Poirierfan]

I was wondering how he was fighting with tourette's, very good fighter. I wish he could continue.

 

[Andrei Orlovski]

He has some kind of a tick similar to Oleynik, blinking a lot. Maybe it could get worse if he keeps fighting and gets hit.
