Please hang 'em up Rich. While you still have pretty much all your brain function and you aren't slurring your words. The human brain can only take so many blows- and you don't have anything left to prove. You were a great champion, and a better ambassador of the sport. Hang 'em up - Dana will give you a nice Chuck-like job - and you can still hang around in MMA circles.
