This guy's retired more times than Favre... wonder if he's just paycheck hunting now. He was peaking not too long ago it seemed.

I think Varner could have had a successful and luxurious career if he was dedicated to the sport. He has good boxing and wrestling and would be a tough fight for anyone in the LW division.

Varner seems to be his own worst enemy. He went from being on top of the WEC to being a wash up in a VERY short amount of time.
