Time for Goodridge to hang up the gloves?

I've been a fan of Goodrige for years now and enjoy his fights, but he has taken a lot of beatings recently. Anyone else think it may be time to retire?
If he does continue, think he may do better in Heroes than k-1?

Yeah I'd like to see Gary move back to MMA ... it seems pure striking isn't his game. He does ok but his style leaves him wide open and top competition takes advantage of said openings.

It also seems he is fighting the best and toughest of K-1. He needs to fight some cans.

Yes, he should hang up his gloves.

First his brutal defeat vs. Barry, now vs. Choi, this makes no sense...

Loved watching Gary early on in his career but time has passed him by in MMA.

Maybe he can still kick some ass in MMA, but he should stay away from K-1 fights. He's getting too old for it (I believe he's like 42 now?).

It was always funny. He was a real KO round 1 fighter, most of his KO´s came in the first round.

What a great fight career, but yes retire now, before he gets KTFO'd one too many times (too late?) & forgets his own name.

Maybe he could start a career as Trainer. Hoost is the new of Slowinski, and he won the Amsterdam WGP...
