Mentally, Merriman believed he could still compete on the field, much like Ferguson believes he can still fight against the best inside the cage. However, when the body wasn’t on the same page, and that’s when Merriman knew it was time to retire. “If your body can’t hold up to compete, it is extremely dangerous,” Merriman told MMA Junkie.
