Absolutely right. Imagine if Floyd Mayweather said his shoulders hurt from using his vaunted shoulder rolls and was allowed to use American football shoulder pads for his championship fights. The outrage would be endless. Now it's considered "unfair" by Sergio fans that he can't use a knee brace. If you're not in tip top condition to fight anymore, then retire.
