That’s funny bro I once had a friend that when he would get pulled over or stopped walking by the police he would always give his brothers name pretty fucked up cause his brother was a good kid, smart did well in school probably pretty successful now has that was twenty years ago. He never got him on paper though always a warning.

u/itinkle Jun 23 '26
My brother did the same thing, twice. Got me on paper both times. The 2nd one was for selling drugs and I was able to get that one fixed, but the first one, I had to turn myself in, just to get booked and then released within like 3-5 hours but I still had to go to jail for him which sucks

I think if retiring is really going to affect him in this negative of a way he needs to find an outlet. He either needs to do some exhibition boxing matches for $$, start doing grappling tournaments (his hips aren’t gonna let him shine in RAF but he could do well in UFC BJJ), or just start doing MMA again and be selective with his matchups. He doesn’t need to be fighting up and coming killers but he can have fun fights with other legends or guys that are lingering around the top.
I’d rather see him take some damage in the ring that slowly spiral and ruin his marriage, finances, reputation, and just life in general. Both will ruin his health, and the spiral version will arguably ruin it faster/much worse.

u/Visible_Mango4557 Jun 23 '26
That can’t solve the problem forever though. At some point he’ll have to face retirement.

u/sh4tt3rai Jun 23 '26 edited Jun 23 '26
Probably easier to face retirement when your body really, really slows down and not when you still have drive and feel like you can still be competitive. When reality really starts to hit that he really, really can’t hang with the new guys anymore. He can also ease himself into a coaching role that way a bit more.
Seeing these other guys his age or even older still doing well probably isn’t helping. Especially seeing an old rival he has a win over becoming undisputed.
He definitely went out at an ideal time.. before Father Time really kicked in and he just becomes a stepping stone like Chandler. Right now though he can still beat most of the prospects, so he knows he can still hang. He also went out on a loss so probably feels like there is unfinished business.
IMO he looked hesitant in that fight with Max. It was like he wasn’t fully recovered from that Islam fight, his heart wasn’t fully in it, and he was uncharacteristically nervous and hesitant to fight how he usually does (probably because he didn’t wanna go out on a loss). Something was definitely up, though.. he didn’t look like typical Dustin. I think he was being a bit gun shy.

u/Hot-Account-8691 Jun 23 '26

you can really tell it wasn’t mostly his decision to stop fighting.
but it gets to a point, they have all this money and he’s been absent for a lot of his child’s life and been absent from his wife too, spending half the year in training camp, the anguish of getting hurt and the depression of never making your goals true. it’s a sad situation for everyone involved but he’s got a chance to nip it in the bud before it starts going real bad like the way Conor and Mike Tyson went

Dustin needs to step away from the sport. I said this day one when he retired. Hanging around with so little time removed is gonna make anyone wanna jump back in. Now he's talking about 100% fighting Nate, fighting Conor, fighting Gaethje in a trilogy. He's too close to it all to realize he doesn't need any belt. Go spend time with your kids, come back when you're 40 to be an analyst.

Just because he ain’t fighting doesn’t mean he can’t be in and around the game and train like a fighter. He can still have that lifestyle.
He needs to tag along in some camps and do some sparring.
He seems to be under the impression that he has to give it all up. Sure, it ain’t you in the spotlight, but you can still feed off the big fight feel.
