In this week’s Trading Shots, MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes and former UFC/WEC fighter Danny Downes discuss what it takes to retire – and stay that way – after being sucked in by the vortex of professional cage fighting. Fowlkes: Danny, is it me or does it seem like retiring from MMA is the hot thing to do right now? Just recently you’ve got guys like Quinn Mulhern  and Din Thomas  hanging ‘em up, women’s MMA veteran Julie Kedzie  calling it quits, and then you’ve got Georges St-Pierre  ”stepping away.” Meanwhile, Anderson Silva , who many of us thought might retire after snapping his leg in half, was reportedly asking his surgeons when he can start training again (boy, they must have some good drugs at that hospital). You have some personal experience with retiring from this sport. Do you think fans and media really understand what goes into that decision?
