Back issues I believe. He's done a great deal in sport, though. Not many people can say they fought for the title on three different occasions.

I'm gonna be the first to say that I've never fully appreciated what he's done as a fighter. That's my bad, not his

Kenflo was kind of an under appreciated fighter in my opinion. Not many people brought as much intensity and dramatic improvements to their game during his day. Very impressive.

not surprising. he's no spring chicken. i would assume he's looking to explore the commentating world even more. great fighter though, even after dropping all the way down to 145 he gave jose aldo a better fight than many have given him in a long time. farewell kenny

I always thought Kenny was a smart fighter. He wasn't the fastest or the strongest but he was very methodical inside the cage and that IMO was the number one reason for his success. As far as officially retiring, I'm surprised this day did not come sooner. He does not need to fight anymore. He has a good future with the ufc as a commentator. Just one thing though - they need to separate Kenny and Anik .....like now. It's not working.

A true shame that he is retiring, but I guess it has to be done. One of my favourites. I don't recall anybody else becoming such an elite, skilful and intelligent fighter despite not having the talent that many others can boast. That is truly respectable.
