Not surprised at all about Ech leaving. He's mid-20's with family obligations. I rather thought it would be for MMA or some other path just because I understand there are some weird rules regarding immigrants and NIL, so not sure how much he has been or could take advantage of that. If he can, I think it's a win/win. He can take some cash from somewhere else (hopefully not a rival) and we can use those funds to shore up need weights. By all accounts he has become a model citizen/student and the bashing on here is really in poor taste.
