Last night Ross Pearson picked up a much-needed victory over a former title-challenger in Gray Maynard. (Replay HERE)
The victory catapults Ross into contender talks, a position every UFC fighter strives for.
Following his second round stoppage, the twitterverse exploded with reactions.

Hate to see Maynard go out like that once again! As much as we all want to continue to see him fight. He should consider maybe retiring!

At 35 YO + the battles Maynard has been in, might've shown that it may be time to hang em up and not tarnish his great UFC run any further.
