hes last fight was 2002. found this from wikipedia:

"Although not officially retired, his career may be over, as in May 2006 he was jailed for 15 months for dangerous driving. Hamed will be 33 by the time of a possible come back fight and will not have fought professionally for five years. It has been claimed that when he was jailed he weighed 170-180 lb, considerably over his featherweight fighting weight (122 - 125 lb)"

That guy is amazing. Ive never seen anyone eat like he does.

Id have to say my favorite non-MMA athlete is Pavel Datsyk from the Detroit Red Wings. That guy is the most impressive skater Ive ever seen. It wouldnt surprise me at all to hear him spoken of in the same sentence as Wayne Gretzky at the end of his career. He makes hockey look like art.
Im also a HUGE Jake Plummer fan. No idea why, just somethin about the guy that fascinates me to watch. Never seen anyone that can make people bite on BS plays like he can.

The Rock is pretty cool
