#4 Rashad Evans
When thought about a standout amongst the best 205lbers on earth, previous UFC Light-Heavyweight champion Rashad Evans chose to hang up his gloves in 2018 after one misfortune too much.
It’s most likely questionable that ‘Suga’ stuck around for a really long time, as his profession really finished after 5 straight misfortunes, yet that’d maybe be out of line given 2 of his last 3 fights finished in split decisions.
Evans’ last misfortune, however – a devastating thrashing on account of future title challenger Anthony Smith, who turned the legend’s lights out at only 53 seconds of the first round – was about as conclusive as it could have been.
Never blessed with the best jaw, it was really clear after that battle that Evans just couldn’t assimilate discipline any longer.

Thus not exactly a month after the thrashing, Evans decided and hang up his gloves for good. Fortunately, there hasn’t been any discussion of him making a return to action since – which presumably bodes well given he likely wouldn’t hurt for cash because of his present status as one of the UFC’s experts on their ESPN broadcasts.
