It’s a cold world, this MMA world. Cold game, this MMA game. One minute, you’re on top of the world. Next minute, you’re fighting Sokoudjou open-weight in some interstate-forsaken, Oklahoma backyard fenced-in area while the dogs are out on the chat piles looking for dinner lizards what ain’t got five eye sockets.
All that to say, here are 10 active fighters who once had it all. Just like Bogey and Bacall. But now they find themselves consigned to the cinders of what was and what could have been. It’s a bitter brew, bro. I pour my Nos on the ground in their honor. Just kidding. I can’t find Nos anywhere.
