Hoping a boxer has used his career earnings wisely is wishful thinking as why would any boxer return after a 6 year absence? The only reason anyone returns after such a lengthy period is because they have no money left.

It's crazy to me that this man, who was basically a dominant force in UFC for a decade, only has net worth of $9 million. Thankfully, and unfortunately this is very rare for athletes, he has been sensible with his money and apparently lives modestly. He came back to the sport IMO to repair his legacy in a different weight class - he actually went DOWN a weight class which is very rare for older guys.
unfortunately, he didn't repair his legacy at all, he made it worse. They will give him accolades for beign a trailblazer but the reality is that he got worked by Conor and was never the same again after that. I wonder if there was some brain damage or something because he had never been rocked like that before at any point in his professional MMA career.
