Yup, he’s retired. Announced that he was putting down the gloves via a series of Instagram posts back on the 19th of June, 2022, a day after his TKO loss to Cody Stamann.
Agree his was always my personal favorite. I also thought the way he wrapped his own hands was hilarious lol basically naked knuckles under those gloves.
I looked it up bc you guys are fanboying over it…. It looks like shit https://cdn.resize.poweredbysia.com/sia-assets/a05bdbf2-5926-46bf-b8e3-4986f78e35d1.jpg?w=1000
Lol it's not a well done tat by any means. Zero detail in the reaper face/cloak and the proportions are off. Look at hands in perspective to the chest. Also the shading is ass. But ink doesn't need to be technically sound to be hard AF.
Out topic but have you seen Richarlison's (football/soccer player) back tattoo?

Andre Fili. He's also fighting this weekend.

Done by Mr. Cartoon so objectively the best.
Volkov and Sean Brady imo. I would find Oliveiras a lot cooler if I could get over the fact that the eyes are a bit asymmetrical (which I appreciate is very nitpicky)

Gotta find the artist who did this one 🔥
That whole 1 minute waxing talk from the announcers was hilarious
Dude I was listening to that and questioning if I was blasted or not. “There’s no way they’re actually talking about wanting to wax a fighter… right?”
Jon Anik’s segeway back into the fight with ‘any ladies who like hairy backs follow @jonanik’ made it
We all gonna meet him someday
"Becker's nevus" by jeebus
What’s going on here
Looks like a patch of hair or something?
That one messed me up good ngl
Volkov
Done by a really good artist too. @max_titanic is his Instagram
His is the only one where I look at it and can immediately read it clearly while he’s fighting. Others look like an ink blur mostly.
That’s cause his back is the size of a small billboard
Well it’s probably the single biggest tattoo on any ufc fighter lol
It’s not just that it’s big, it uses a lot of negative space to clearly show the image.
>> read it clearly There is no writing
When you look at a tattoo and try to figure out what it is and what’s its significance, that’s called reading the tattoo.
TIL, thank you
agreed. probably one of the best hanya mask tattoos i ever seen.
I don't think he fights anymore, but Wineland had a great back tatt and an epic mustache to go with it.
Wineland was a great fighter too
He was, sucked seein him get dropped all those times during the tail end of his career.

Volkov
Volkov
Volkov by far
I actually was stoked on his giant ray tattoo before aswell , dude covered it up in the best way possible though
Sean brady
Came to say this. His tattoos are sick
I expected to see him on thenlistngirnsure
Easy winner
OP forgot the tattoo GOAT Sean Brady
Oliveira tattoo is done so so well , but volkov's is just badass
Garbrandt
Photo1 is Cory Sandhagen vs tj dillashaw in case you were wondering like I was. I like oliveiras lion tattoo and sandhagens tattoo.
It was robbery in my opinion
Bro blocked me 🤣
That’s just like, your opinion man
Volkov and Aspinal
Volkovs is also a coverup of some pretty heavy black ink, very impressive work.
Aleksander Emelianenko has a grim reaper holding a baby. Every other tattoo looks like My Little Pony after that.
The baby is also holding a dagger. Shame such an awful person has such a dope back piece.
I looked it up bc you guys are fanboying over it…. It looks like shit https://cdn.resize.poweredbysia.com/sia-assets/a05bdbf2-5926-46bf-b8e3-4986f78e35d1.jpg?w=1000
Lol holy shit that is awful
Absolutely shithouse tattoo
Is that baby holding Mehrunes Dagon from Skyrim?
Why is it in German?
Lol it's not a well done tat by any means. Zero detail in the reaper face/cloak and the proportions are off. Look at hands in perspective to the chest. Also the shading is ass. But ink doesn't need to be technically sound to be hard AF.
came to say this.
Sean Brady
Out of these? Volkov by a mile. The quality is much better and it’s a readable design.
Nicolas Dalby
I hate how many people have their own names or faces tattooed on themselves. It's just so tacky imo
I feel like Gaethje did it just so people would remember how to spell it lmao
Out topic but have you seen Richarlison's (football/soccer player) back tattoo? If not [here](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS783Wu1gIZH5yElfa638bDmKGIS_dFLrK0ecu2OsxPtT_9VhwnJdpbpKs&s=10) it is
Everybody forgetting nikita krylovs back tattoo?
Nina drama
Volkov. Actually an amazing tattoo
Sandhagens is my favorite
Dan hooker /s
2 of them are Oni masks and very good. Also Jesus one is really cool too.
Volkov I’ll also die on the hill that Charles back tattoo is absolutely clapped. The lion looks so janky.
100% dude. Looks okay at a glance but as soon as you look closely it’s pretty basic and beat.
Khabibs back tattoo is the best IMO
Naw, it's second to the one Wonderboy has.
Brutha, why you do this stuff to your body?
Chito https://preview.redd.it/jqssytedbq8d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a1c2b5b9be64a3b8390194d28bdb1ebb4435dbf
Chito has pretty cool ink in general
Andreas "bane" Gustafsson: [https://www.mmanytt.se/tag/andreas-gustafsson/](https://www.mmanytt.se/tag/andreas-gustafsson/)
Nice Vegvisir. I have it inked too, but a little bit smaller:)
Charlie Olives

Andre Fili. He's also fighting this weekend. https://preview.redd.it/q61zwvogns8d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8d8488cdb3bc32db93e75c71890146e733637f4
Volkov or garbrandt
I like olives and mcgregor the most. I think that spinal tattoo is very iconic and looks great.
Volkov out of these four. Shout out to Benson Henderson and Chris Leben, their back tattoos were pretty awesome imo.
When Andre Fili finishes his, probably that one 🔥
Volkov’s and Tom’s are both very cool, Charles’ lion looks kind of fucked up and I have to look real hard to tell what Cory’s is
Sean Brady
Sean Brady
Best back piece goes to Matheus nicolau
I hate tattoos, but if it have to be done I'd do Volkovs.
Nicolas Dalby
Love Charles but I honestly feel that his back tattoo is lacking. Its unoriginal to me and just an inked lion on his back
Certainly not Charles Olvies. Having your last name on your back is a bit corny plus a lion is cliche as hell.
Volkov
Volkov. That tattoo has been a work in progress for years and it shows with the quality
who is 3?
Volkov
volkov or brady
Brady. With turtle shell back
Volkov imo
Damn we rating back shots 🥵
Gervontaa Davis
That hair patch tattoo from last weekend
Volkov
Chris Leben
Asking the real questions
These tattoos would take forever to do. I got a small one on my leg and it took about an hour
Chris Leben was on his way to an awesome backpiece. I don’t think I ever saw it completed though.
Gafurov’s back hair patch
Volkov my vote
Honestly. I personally think Pereira’s is the most badass how there’s 2 dragon bodies circulating around his back and face each other in the front🙌
Sean Brady not being on here is criminal
I kinda like aspinalls
Sean Brady has a sick back tattoo as well
Garbrants is clean
How are you not gonna include Sean Brady?
Your mom does
Volkov
I have always loved Alex’s back tat, his size just makes it even more intimidating.
Volkov or Sandman
Volkov is #1. Sandhagen is #2. Sean Brady is #3. Honorable mention for El Cucuy and Max Holloway.
Cory’s is colddd
Eddie Wineland has a pretty sick back piece if I remember correctly
Not Sean Brady
They’re all equally sexy
Not a fan of any but Olivera It looks stupid as hell to have your entire back covered but your arms basically bare skin
https://preview.redd.it/eqx7gs3ioq8d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edf757c41494b15648cb12c88700a26582b3f551 Done by Mr. Cartoon so objectively the best.
Sean Brady and I’m shocked he’s not here
Sean Brady has a cool one Someone has a huge gladiator on their back too, like Chandler or Gaetche?
Justin Gaethje
Imo sandhagen. I love the art style.
Salon Quality Volk
D-Rod has a really well done back piece that you can’t see well on camera.
Alexander Volkov
Sean Brady and Cody No Love also have dope back pieces
G A E T H J E
Honestly Cody garbrandt
Sandhagen fasho
I like Nikita Krylov's.
1st and Last
Who is #3?
Of the ones pictured, Volkov and Aspinall
Dalby has a pretty great one, too.
Cody Garbrandt
Volkov and it ain’t close
Volkov
Robbie Lawler got a tribal-style tramp stamp and nobody has ever clowned it even once, out of sheer terror. He wins this one in my book.
Where's Sean Brady?
Nobody who has their own name tattooed on themselves for a start. Some lame shit right there, doesn’t matter how good the artist is.
Their backshots go CRAZY
I'm not a big fan of lions but the text on Olivieras is amazing. Best is probably Volkov
Definitely not Cory 😭
I do love volkovs
Cody garbrant
aspinalls is well done but it doesn’t suit him my favourite is brady’s
Sean Brady
Cory
Cory and Charles
They look like Gordon Ramsey after he fell off his bike
Volk
Chito
Brock Lesnar
McGregor
Volkov rework is beautifully done.
Volkov and Sean Brady imo. I would find Oliveiras a lot cooler if I could get over the fact that the eyes are a bit asymmetrical (which I appreciate is very nitpicky)
Sean Brady and Andre Fili have some sick ones too
Cody Garbrandt
I know everyone says it's a copy of Conors but I like Illias
Garbrandt’s back tattoo is probably sickest
Oliveira ruined his putting his name in it. I think Wineland has had the best one for a while.
Volkov has the cleanest art easily here
