5 Times a "retired" fighter should have stayed retired

#3 Royce Gracie

After all, Helio is like 150 something and he’s still going strong

Being a pioneer of the sport and a legend does not make you immune from the sweet siren call of coming out of retirement. Well that and the IRS if we’re keeping it a hundred. Royce Gracie is 2-0 since 2007 when he came out of retirement to get worn around the cage like a button by farmboy and noted proponent of hard physical manual labor Matt Hughes.

After taking that Hughes beating(which didn’t seem like hard work for Matt so I’m sure he then plowed a field or put up some fencing or something to get a sweat in) Gracie followed up by beating fellow old-timer Kazushi Sakuraba.

Good right? Everyone feels good about Gracie beating the “Gracie Killer.”

Wrong. Because ol’ Royce here tested positive for them steroids. But then he just recently beat Ken Shamrock, so we feel good? Right? Please tell me I can feel good? Nope, because Royce totally knee’d Ken in the balls for the finish. So yeah, let’s just move on before I cry.
