    It's crazy that he wasn't in the UFC before the Movsar fight. Guy is one of the best 145ers in the world

      He lost his DWCS fight. That's how how got the fight vs Movsar because he's always shown talent even in defeat. It's crazy that he's made over 200k fighting in the UFC in less than 2 years.

      It happens.. When you're running to the top and peak so hard.. and then lose. It crashes most people's ego and they never get it back. They lose faith in their ability and become filled with doubt. Plus on the physical side, when people get KO'd cold.. there's often a type of brain injury that never heals back again.. and that makes them have a "weak chin" from then on. Our brains are tied to the skull by "fascia" that holds it into place.. once that stuff stretches are tears away-- it's much easier for you to get KO'd again. There are many reasons people fall off.
