ndenis -  I'm not sure what I will do. I don't want a job right now, because I plan to quit whatever I'm doing and focus 100% on building my home in the spring.

I bought a nice 2 acre property in the middle of nowhere, I get excited thinking about it.

After that, I've got some ideas. I want to make sure that whatever I do has quality, and brings quality to my life and those around me. Phone Post

Sounds like a good start.

All the best in the future and congrats on a great career.

Wow, that elbow KO was awesome. I always wonder why we don't see more of that out of the plumb when the guy is worried about the rising knees. Beautifully done.

Sorry to see you go. Good luck in the future.

ndenis - I've made the decision a few months ago. I guess this is making it "official"

Feel free to read about it on my tumblr blog

That blog post is amazing! Everyone seems to focus on the major, diagnosed concussions, while not realizing the sub-concussive blows are just as bad, if not worse over time in accumulation.

Cheers to you for doing the leg work to come to a conclusion of your own that it's probably not a terribly great idea to continue on.

I wish you success in whatever you pursue in life! Thanks for that amazing debut highlight. Take care! Phone Post

Nick, I just want you to know that I'll always be a fan.

You showed up on my radar when you KO'd Nick Mamalis with that ridiculous slam. Then in your UFC debut you got that ridiculously awesome KO with elbows from the clinch. After that, the fight with Delorme was fucking awesome, even thought the outcome of the fight didn't go the way you would have wanted, it still left me thinking "Damn! When is the Ninja Of Love fighting again!" :)

Good luck with the future Nick. You are a warrior and you always came to fight, win lose or draw. You have my respect. Phone Post

you should be the opposite of dakota cochrane; start out in mma, then end up doing gay porn.

fat referee -

sorry bro, sounds like your mma career is being fucked by a black guy.

I remember watching my first sengoku at 2am or something like that and saw your fight with Seiya Kawahara. Was excited for your fight with Sandro, sorry it didn't go your way.

On that note, best of luck to your future, here's a cool highlight of you with Genesis playing in the background

 

 

Thanks man. Those sengoku fights were really special to me. I really loved pride, and kinda felt connected. Phone Post
