Rampage: I'd have retired if I won the belt from Jones

source: fightersonlymagazine.co.uk

“Believe me I still want to retire as champion. I want to hold the belt once more. I guess if I had won that Jon Jones fight and if the Japan show wasn’t next then there’d have been a very good chance I would have retired already,” he says.

“It would have been a great time to bow out. But I almost certainly would have stayed around to fight in Japan anyway, to defend the belt. Then if I would have successfully defended it on this [UFC 144] show, I definitely would be retiring - and retiring a very happy man too!”

Hopefully he'll retire after the Bader fight. I always think I'm going to see old school Rampage come out, but he never does. He hasn't had an exciting fight since he fought Chuck. This Rampage is a boring boring fighter.

Not a fan of the winning the belt and retiring thing (BJ Penn was planing on it to had he won UFC 94 he admitted). It's cheap and disrespectful to the other contenders.If someone like Anderson Silva retired after Sonnen 2 or something, I'd be totally cool with it.
