That “brief retirement” was more of a four month vacation.
Trigg announced his retirement on April 29th of this year, following a loss to Carlos Condit at Rumble on the Rock 9.
In a statement announcing his retirement, Trigg said, “I am overwhelmed with the support that I have received regarding my announcement of retirement. It is truly humbling as well as inspiring. It’s been a rough year and I just need to take some ‘me time’ to figure out the direction that I will be going in, but I’m not and can not leave the sport entirely.”
I don’t like Frank Trigg. I have never liked Frank Trigg (check the second-to-last paragraph). He should’ve stayed retired, but no, he insists on annoying me. Yes, just me personally.
I hope Miller finishes him with a rear naked choke.
