Dana White has made it clear he believes Chris Weidman, Anthony Smith, and Clay Guida should consider hanging up their gloves following their losses at UFC 310.
During Saturday’s preliminary card, Weidman suffered a TKO defeat at the hands of Eryk Anders, Guida was submitted by Chase Hooper, and Smith fell via TKO to Dominick Reyes.
Among the three, “Lionheart” hinted at retirement, stating it was “probably” his final fight. However, neither the former middleweight champion nor inaugural Strikeforce lightweight titleholder addressed the possibility during the event.
At the UFC 310 post-fight press conference, the UFC CEO didn’t mince words, expressing his hope that all three fighters would call it a career.
“They should all retire tonight,” White said.
This isn’t the first time White has encouraged Weidman to consider retirement. His loss to Anders marks a 1-3 record in his last four fights.
Meanwhile, Smith removed his gloves in the octagon but stopped short of making an official announcement.
For Guida, the defeat extends a challenging stretch, leaving him 1-4 record in his last five bouts.
