Fabricio Werdum considering retirement from MMA

Werdum has only fought in PFL once and it was ended very cont💛roversially.
The result ওof the fight originally was a TKO win f♛or Werdum's opponent Renan Ferreira but was overturned and deemed a no contest after footage showed that Ferreira previously tapped out to a triangle choke which Werdum had locked in on him.
In an interview with Ag.Fight , Werdum rಌevealed that the travelling which it takes for him to be fully committed to MMA is the main reason as to why he is considering his retirement.
Werdum also ♈revealed that he would step into the boxing ring if he was proposed with an exceptional amount of money.
Now that it looks like Werdum will probab🃏ly be retiring, where do you rank Werdum on the list of best heavyweight fighters of all time?

Ilia Topuria unsure of which weight class to fight at
After his impressive performance at 155 pounds again♌st Jai Herbert at UFC London, ranked UFC featherweight Ilia Topuria๊ is seemingly pondering over which weight class to continue fighting at.
145 or 155? --
— Ilia Topuria (@Topuriailia)
UFC London was actual♉ly the first time Topuria fought at lightweight and if he can keep delivering results like 🐈he did against Herbert then he will have no problems settling into life at lightweight.
Despite Topuria looking g🐭ood at 155, he has a ranking at featherweight which he has worked towards for a long time and might be too much to give up considering the amount of competitiღon he would have to go through to get the same at lightweight.
