In my opinion mental things are on equal ground with physical problems, if somebody hasn't mastered the ability to keep parts of their life separated. So I completely can understand how a divorce could fuck with his head. Shit when my fiancee and I split up, I was in a weird spot for months.

As a professional athlete you need to keep personal and professional separate. Probably easier said than done (I am not throwing stones for I am not the picture of perfect mindset). I think a good example of this was the Jake Shields fight where he took on Ellenburger. I am not saying the same thing wouldn't have happened even if the circumstances of Shields dad dieing hadn't happened, but I thought he should have pulled out of that fight. Hopefully JDS will go into his next fight with a clear mindset.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone at this forum site is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Ah physical and emotional issues. Love the excuses. Too bad athletes like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Brett Favre weren't wussies.
How is it that fighters, the baddest mofo's on the planet, are the ones who are the weakest mentally?
