Masvidal used to be a cool kat
I really respected his hustle. He came from the streets and fought his way up to ufc main event in his own home town… and to being pals with Donald Trump, helping the reds campaign for presidency.
Very inspiring.
but, like with a lot of folks from humble origins that suddenly become very rich, the money can really fuck with the head…. And it sends you down a self-destructive path. Just look at Conor, Mas, Jones…
This is why rich families preach humility and values to their young, from an early age.
The temptations that come with a boat load of money, and practically being above the law… is just too high.
Guys like GSP, Khabib, and Fedor… were quite indifferent to their wealth and fame. 3 guys that come from very proper upbringing with core values.
3 gentlemen of the sport. Khabib a tier below GSP and Fedor, but those are 2 prime examples in our sport of making it big and still being classy.
it starts with values.
it is why khabib enjoys farm life with family, while Conor leaves his family to go on yachts with coke and hookers…
