Currently, fighters from the era that helped make the sport so popular are beginning to trickle away from competition and hang up their gloves in order to move on to the next chapter in life. If there’s one thing that’s well known about combat sports retirements, though, it’s that they often don’t last long. The urge to compete, and perhaps more importantly get a payday, will continue to drive fighters back even well beyond their expiration dates. 2017 has seen an uptick in notable fighters announcing they’re done with the sport, and The Blue Corner has kept a running list of those who have decided in favor in retirement

Christian Gonzalez was given an indefinite suspension by the California State Athletic Commission, but only in part for something stemming from his fight Daniel Rodriguez on the preliminary card. Gonzalez is out indefinitely for chest pain following the fight – but also for a stab wound he didn’t report to the commission prior to his bout. MMAjunkie requested and today received a list of the suspensions from the CASC, which oversaw this past Saturday’s event at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif

Whether he’ll be able to benefit from that, he’ll see. But that’s the hope. “Something may get to him where he mentally shuts down and goes into kill mode,” Bollinger (19-6 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) told MMAjunkie in advance of his MMAjunkie-streamed preliminary fight against Henry Corrales (12-3 MMA, 0-3 BMMA) at Saturday’s Bellator 170, which takes place at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. “That would be an ideal situation for me.” Corrales arrived to the promotion with eight straight wins under the King of the Cage banner

In the main event, Christos Giagos (13-5) strengthened his case for a UFC return and again made a plea to UFC officials for the opportunity after earning a unanimous-decision victory over fellow lightweight Arthur Estrazulas

However, his performance was on the less than thrilling side, so he might have some more work to do. Giagos (13-5), who was cut from the UFC in June 2015 after going 1-2 in the octagon, remained perfect in RFA competition when he bested Estrazulas (8-3) by unanimous decision in Friday’s lightweight headliner at Visalia Convention Center in Visalia, Calif. The event aired on AXS TV.
