I had to look up some art of the great man as he has, just a few hours ago, announced his retirement from MMA, going out on top as the unbeaten, undisputed champ. I think this is captures his spirit perfectly: Proud, strong and confident but not arrogant, flashy or obnoxious.

My only criticism is a minor one. His body hair doesn't really look like hair to me. You've done a good job on making his muscles look defined but the body hair looks a little flat, kinda stuck on if that makes sense. But again that's a minor critique and just my opinion on a small detail.

I really appreciate your take on one of my favourite athletes ever, not just in MMA, but in any sport :) Thank you and here's to the Undefeated Living Legend!
Cheers

Thank you brother, I appreciate it. I was glad I honored him like this in advance, and I'll probably draw him again in the future. In my mind he's claimed the title of GOAT from GSP, but if he's not the sole greatest, he's on the exact same level as GSP and Jon Jones.

PS: The body hair's inspired by Zangief from Street Fighter, another Russian legend.
