5 UFC Fighters Who Need To Retire

#4 Andrei Arlovski

Arlovski - Nothing left in the tank

Andrei Arlovksi could feel himself unfortunate that he lost his most recent bout via Unanimous Decision versus Shamil Abdurakhimov. Arlovski seemingly had done enough to win but the judges did not agree.

In truth however, Arlovski's days as a top line fighter were over a decade gone. It was way back between 2005 and 2006, that the Russian reigned as UFC Heavyweight Champion.

After dropping the belt to Tim Sylvia, Arlovski defeated Marcio Cruz, Fabricio Werdum and Jake O'Brien before leaving UFC to compete for Affliction.

Following a six year absence, Arlovski returned to UFC in impressive form with four straight wins including victories over "Bigfoot" Silva and fellow, former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Frank Mir.

However, recent years have been less kind to this one great Champion. Arlovski has lost seven of his past nine bouts over the past two years and will never put himself back in contention for the Heavyweight title. Therefore, there is no need for this legend to continue to put himself through the punishment of elite fighting competition at 39 years old.
