    That crying thing DC mentioned is empathy. It happens to me all the time. As a grown man with a better understanding of life; I truly and honestly do not want to see other people hurt or suffer. Seeing others in pain I can damn near feel it…

      Real shit we as men in our environment are groomed not to show emotion or be emotional. So the more you hold in and the more you grow as a person it just needs to come out. Me having kids young saved my life and helped realize that showing emotions is needed.

    Listening to him talk about his relationship with Jon Jones from a personal and professional lens was powerful. I love that he kept going back to “that dude was so gifted but he wouldn’t let himself be great.” That’s a perfect description of Jones from someone whose legacy is forever linked to him.

      I mean kinda silly though, he is one of the greatest of all time in the sport. Dude is absolutely a hall of famer, unless they screw him over and don't give it to him for his out of the cage antics.

      @@SHAiD- Nobody screwed Jon over but himself man. Outside the ring.. well we all know. Inside the ring, he's had too many incidents that automatically put an ! beside his name. So he's not actually deserving of entering the hall of fame as he has not represented himself or the sport very well. But I could see them doing it at some point but hopefully not for a long time as it won't do him any good at this stage of his life.

      I feel this, but also jones wasn’t even training and was merking these fuckin guys. That’s not steroids. Steroids doesn’t make you a smart fighter. Jones is a technical genius. His use of distance and having an 84” reach as a 6’4 fighter was used as a huge weapon.
      Steroids helps with not getting tired and not need to recover, and having some extra strength In some situations. His suspensions will follow him, but he still would have beat anybody regardless of that.

      I was surprised he didn’t touch on his daughters death a bit more because she didn’t just die in a car accident. His daughter died to a DRUNK DRIVER who caused it. That had to have made him despise Jones more because of the many DUIs Jones has had and him not showing any real remorse for his actions.

We also would wrestle on the side of the house made wrestling belts out of cardboard. When my family didn't have a place to stay My Aunt & Uncle took us in, we lived together for some years. We used to do a lot of things growing up. Man, we used to do foolish things as well.
