#3People need to start respecting swinging Johnson, he is a staple in the industry and he has made books flourish because of him. He is a man that needs to be respected or he will make you respect him.המוסד

#4ptsd in ufc? more like anxiety.
whether you like it or not, they are getting into fights for a paycheck.
when you're young, poor, and there's a potential to earn money while doing something you enjoy, fighting for a paycheck sounds fantastic.
you train hard, you kick someone's ass, and you get paid? that's fukking great.
after few concussions and once the money starts rolling in, the hunger's no longer there.
and ultimately your motivation's no longer there and you start questioning your motives of why you are fighting.
now you have all these thoughts floating in your head and you mind fukk yourself but there's dana fukking white, the little devil, questioning your manhood if you try to quit fighting.
that's why so many good fighters want to quit but they feel obliged to adhere to the sport.Comment -
