But with that said I still have this tingle in my hands. This is very new, it&rsquo;s been a month and I&rsquo;m far from a retired fighter in my way of thinking and such. I&rsquo;ve made my decision and so on but it takes time to adapt and accept the new things in life and your role in all of it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Is it really a surprise is any way that Gustafsson is already considering a return to competition? Even MMA fighters that retire on a win usually feel the itch to return to combat &mdash; look at Urijah Faber! &ldquo;The California Kid&rdquo; won an awesome fight in his home city to complete his career, and he still jumped at the first chance to return to the cage and give it another shot as this weekend&rsquo;s co-main event.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div data-anthem-component=\"readmore\" data-anthem-component-data='{\"stories\":[{\"title\":\"The Sacramento Kid?\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2019\/5\/15\/18624672\/urijah-faber-teases-ufc-comeback-sacramento-because-diapers-expensive-mma\"},{\"title\":\"Dillashaw Worried Faber Might Be Out Of Money\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2019\/6\/18\/18683670\/tj-dillashaw-wanted-urijah-faber-stay-retired-hopes-california-kid-isnt-hard-up-cash-mma\"}]}'><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It&rsquo;s definitely a difficult life adjustment to make, particularly for someone like Gustafsson who&rsquo;s made several hundred thousand dollars in a single night several times before. Realistically, Gustafsson worked very hard for peanuts for much of his career, only getting paid big in his last few years of competition. <\/p>\n<p>Longevity is what gets fighters paid in MMA, and it&rsquo;s part of the reason why athletes who should probably stay retired cannot stay away. Hopefully, if Gustafsson does return to the Octagon, he does so with a renewed fire to compete, as he is still fairly young at 32 years of age and could remain a relevant Light Heavyweight.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I guess we have to changes Jon Jones&rsquo; nickname to &ldquo;Mystic&rdquo; now.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div data-anthem-component=\"readmore\" data-anthem-component-data='{\"stories\":[{\"title\":\"Jones Reacts To Gustafsson&rsquo;s Retirement - &lsquo;Honestly, I Don&rsquo;t Believe You&rsquo;\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2019\/6\/1\/18648834\/jon-jones-reacts-to-alexander-gustafsson-retirement-honestly-i-dont-believe-you-ufc-stockholm-espn\"}]}'><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2><strong>Insomnia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Team Alpha Male fight week!<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div data-anthem-component=\"readmore\" data-anthem-component-data='{\"stories\":[{\"title\":\"Up Next!

Foto atualizada: Os Champ Champs! #Repost @cptamericas @get_reposter  @henry_cejudo &amp; @patriciopitbull &#8230;I have been with these two legends since 2004 and 2011.  There been a lot of blood, sweat, tears , and broken bones throughout the years. However Blood clots, sweat &amp; tears dry and bones heal but on thing remains the mindset of a legendary champion . These two world class athletes seek to evolve, continue to invest in excellence . They focus on the process . They have a mind that is open to everything &amp; attached to nothing . Having potential is one thing but what an athlete does with it is quite another. When your potential is greatness, your body won&rsquo;t let you sleep, you won&rsquo;t feel complete until you succeed. Well at the  age of 32 yro these 2 have accomplished more than any other athlete in the #ufc and #bellator and we are just getting hott. Stay tuned because we are changing the game.
