This is very true, in past years fighters didn't have the benefit of MRI's and other comprehensive testing, and would have been allowed to fight anywhere even if they were known to have serious brain damage. It's nice to read that he knew to quit, as guys like him start to get really hurt once they lose a step. Even at his peak he was always taking major punishment, people like him more or less need to be saved from themselves. Always admired his drive and humility in defeat, a warrior no doubt.
