| Frank Trigg?
i noticed he's still a top 10 welterweight in the MMANews rankings but isn't he effectively retired? or is he just doing the Pride commentary thing for now until he gets a good fight lined up? what's his deal?

"The following rankings were compiled by the MMANews.com team on Thursday, April 20, 2006."
I think those rankings were made up before he was offically retired.

I htought he retired also if he is going back to fighting he needs to get with a good camp. After that ROTR loss and the infamous amouts of RNC's he really needs to work on some things. The thing is I believe he "could" be a great fighter if he did....

I agreee. He has all the necessary physical tools, just needs to put it all together. Saw the Trigg/Hughes 2 fight again and he has what it takes to fight top opponents...I think for him it's more mental than anything.

Trigg announced his retirement, i do believe. MMA Weekly's rankings seem to indicate that also.
It is easy to control the fight if you get a good knee to the fella's in first!

Well considering that Frank Trigg himself votes on those rankings as do many of his MMA friends, and the fact that he is a host for MMAWeekly Radio.... I can't say I am too surprised.

Just playing, he does have talent but I think him get destroyed by GSP, along with other things, made him realize he is getting older and the top competition is getting better. I would like to see him vs BJ Penn though, could be good.
