Don't agree with Hendo, the other three; yes.
Also Ortiz (no matter how much I like him), Couture (obviously). Franklin has definately earned his stripes, but still has some fights in him.

Diego Sanchez
Regardless of whether or not you think he won or lost the Kampmann fight, the dude is a zombie. The amount of times he just stood there and watched a punch coming and just ate it is ridiculous. He has zero head-movement. It's like he knows it's coming and yet his brain isn't fast enough to calculate the response, "GET OUT OF THE WAY!"
Not to mention you just have to look at him to see that there's not much going on up in the old noggen, aside from maybe, "Kill! Kill! Mmm... shiny! KILL!"
In the last two fights I've seen him in, he's had his face turned into mince-meat. How much of that can a dude take before there's serious brain damage occurring? Dude needs to quit whilst he can still count to two.

Ironically by not actually making the effort to refute my points with any form of logic, reason or evidence, it is you, sir, who fails.

I would imagine it is hard for some of these big name fighters to retire when they can go out and do 6 figure fights. I sure wouldnt

out of your 4 only half should retire, CC and Pulver! Henderson just won the belt and Fedor should lose his pudge and go destroy the LHW division. What is Henderson now? 5-1 in his last 6 fights, left the UFC on a 3 fight win streak and with a huge knife stabbed in his back. He should not have cut to MW, obviously it was a bad cut and he is too old to have a good weight cut at this point.
Brock needs to stay gone
Randy
and the 2 already posted.

I disagree with Couture. Dude is 47, and still can beat quite a few LHWs. He just needs to remain there, and NOT fight in HW anymore.
Mirko Cro Cop - Too gun-shy now.
Fedor - His time has past sadly. He can still bring the fight to anyone though. But, some of the monster HWs out there (Bigfoot, Overeem to name 2 in SF), are huge, strong, and technically sound fighters.
Tito Ortiz - Hasn't won a fight since 2006. Sorry, but if the prospects are calling you out for a payday, its time to go.
Big Nog - The wars have caught up to him, in a bad way. A pair of nasty KO's to Mir and Cain.... He is best suited now as a coach.

Your capacity for failure seems limitless.

Yeah I think both Nogs should go. They don't have the answer to the new generation

No, but I also dont have any stock in him having a functioning brain in 10 years.
