At least that's what UFC president Dana White assured. The manager said he talked about it with the Brazilian, who, according to him, was not opposed to the idea of retirement. Either way, it is White's wish that Minotaur not fight again.
"I love Minotauro and I think everyone loves Minotauro. He is a very good guy, respected by everyone. I spoke to him tonight [after the fight]. Enough, I don't want to see him fighting anymore. And he didn't disagree. We will still talk and we will probably reach the same agreement we reached with Chuck Liddell, Matt hugs e Forrest griffin, to bring them here and give them a job”, commented White, in a press conference after UFC 190.
Minotauro lost to Struve via judges' decision at UFC 190. In recent years, he has also suffered setbacks for Fabricio Werdum, in 2013, and for Roy Nelson, last year. At 39 years old, Minotauro hasn't known what it's like to win since 2012. In his 16-year career, the veteran has a record of 34 wins, 10 losses, one draw and one no-contest.
