I can't help but not respect these guys... you have to have a very low IQ to take such a beating, shortening not only your life expectancy by years, but also your mental cognition. This guy will be a full potato by the time he hits 50 and like living assisted in his 60s.
If you must take the fighting career path, at least be smart about like GSP and Conor. They made tons of money, took very little damage (compared to others) and ''retired'' (seemingly) with millions in the bank and their health in check. Meanwhile Shogun is worth what... 3-4 millions at the most and completely brain dead.
I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he's never been good. He went 9-9 in the UFC... he's a C level fighter if we're being transparent. Winning a belt doesn't mean shit, everyone has won a belt by now.
