As much as I love BJ, I think he's about done. Not physically... his heart just doesn't seem to be in it any more. You could tell that from the post fight interview. He almost seems to be looking for a reason to retire.

He was by far the most talented BJJ practitioner in the UFC when he was in his prime. He's got a different pedigree than most fighters I think and that makes a difference. He was raised wealthy, that's kind of rare in the fight game.
