(And here we thought Canadians were afraid of a good old fashioned war.) It seems that lately it has become harder and harder to gauge what an MMA fighter means exactly by the word "retirement." UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture has finally come to terms with his, whereas Jamie Varner apparently retired as part of an elaborate heist that involved almost immediately coming out of said retirement, picking up a couple quick wins in a small promotion, filling in as a late injury replacement against a huge favorite, and promptly screwing millions of people out of their hard earned money. And to think, George Clooney need the help of more than a dozen people to rob some measly casino. Chump. According to the man himself, we might just see long time UFC lightweight Spencer Fisher add his name to the list of recently retired MMA fighters come Friday night, as he told Ariel Helwani that he's "pretty sure" it will be his last fight as a professional. His reasoning was similar to that of Chris Lytle's -- desire to spend more time with his family: I've been missing a lot of stuff with my family. It gets tougher and tougher as they get older.Although "The King" has flown under the radar for the past few years, dropping four of his past five contests, he is without a doubt one of the more exciting guys that helped the UFC's lightweight division rise to popularity following its reinstatement in the promotion at UFC 58, which coincidentally was where Fisher made his lightweight debut against none other than his opponent on Friday, Sam Stout. It is perhaps the most fitting end to a career that one could ask for.
