I've just always found it fascinating how a fighter can be a world beater one day and then after a loss, they just spiral.

Just look at his career alone. He beats Silva. Silva falls off a cliff. Weidman loses to Rockhold and he starts to spiral. Rockhold goes on to lose and he starts to spiral.

Tony, Woodley, and the list goes on. Father time plays a part obviously, but once that spark goes, it's over.
