I don't recall him having meltdowns of this capacity, but I do recall him being generally considered to be a talented player with a bad attitude. It's been a minute though.
Also, he wasn't too big of a deal outside of the sport, so far fewer people gave a shit.
I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that timing and placement had more to do with that than anything else. Rumble (goat-contender stopping machine) and Gus both landed big shots on DC that didn't put him down. We can talk hypotheticals all day, but concrete evidence shows DC's chin holding up...
Roy Nelson had a generally unkept appearance and an unprofessional attitude that seemed to go hand-in-hand (by Dana's metric). That was why he wasn't well-liked there.
Jones put him down with a kick from Hell that D.C. leaned right into, so I don't blame the cut for that. He's taken some nasty shots and kept coming at 205, and that was just the one that did the trick.
He looks a lot stronger and happier at heavyweight though.
That doesn't change that she's basically only signed because the talent pool is so damn thin that being god awful 1-5 in the next weight class up is alleviated by 1-0 (now 2-0) in the current weight class.
He's an actor though. I'm not really seeing how he sacrificed any sort of image, unless WWE fans can't separate character from actor.
Just about any tough-guy-playing actor would get crushed by an ammy-level fighter, and that doesn't reflect on their abilities to play a badass in movies. What...
You can find tons of people who would take that fight for a fraction of what Brooks made. No, I do not give a shit about his "heart."
He had something to prove to himself, I get it, but let's not give a fish credit for swimming.
