Kalib,
I have said since you showed up on TUF that you had no heart to be a fighter. I still say the same. I don't care about your explanation, because it is an easy way out. I have taken the easy way out when I felt overwhelmed by the situation. This was in high school track, not on a professional level such as the UFC.
People fight injured all the time. Also people want to get paid. This is just not the sport for you.
Let me take this to a different level. Ronnie Lott broke his finger in the Super Bowl and was not allowed to play with a broken bone. Instead of sitting out the big game, he cut his finger off and returned to the field then put his finger back on later. A little drastic? Maybe. But it shows more heart than you will ever possess for this sport. I am sure you enjoy the sport, I am sure you enjoy training and learning more about the combat disciplines you have explored, but competing is not for you. I saw that the first time I saw you in the spot light.
Don't take this the wrong way, I am not attacking you as a person. You seem like you could be a great guy, just not a great fighter.
As a person who has been a fan of the sport for many years and been around some great competitors in the MMA game it is my opinion you should hang up the gloves and move on to something new.
In closing let me say this:
If you felt like you were beat so early you should have verbally tapped out and let us enjoy the Cain Velasquez fight on the rewind at the end of the night.
