Javier is a great fighter but if you know your body cant do it anymore then retiring is the smartest and safest thing to do. I hope Javier finds success in whatever it is he does next with his life.

I enjoyed watching him fight 
I also enjoyed his commentary with Tachi Palace. Maybe he can find another org to commentate for.

Always good to see a guy who knows his limits. He's had a decent career. Wins in both the UFC and WEC.. No stoppage losses.

He would be a great wrestling/bjj trainer for a lot of mma camps.
