In mixed martial arts (MMA), when two fighters enter the cage, not only their sporting side enters, but also their stories of improvement or redemption. And there are as many epic stories as there are fighters, because each one of them embodies a path … intricate in which he has had to overcome obstacles.
Without going any further, the Canarian fighter Hecher Sosa recently signed for the UFC, the largest organization in this discipline, after obtaining a victory two days after learning of the death of his father. However, he decided to fight and won, managing to fulfill his dream, which was really shared with his father.
It is often said that fighters are made of a different material, and it is not an inaccurate definition, but sometimes it is forgotten that they are also human, not fighting machines. This is something that the former UFC middleweight champion, the New Zealander of Nigerian origin Israel Adesanya, who has gone through numerous bumps during his professional career, wanted to make clear.
Recently, Adesanya spoke for the cameras at the Bangtao gym in Thailand, where he is training. And he has given a crude life speech. «2013 was my worst year. I was thinking, ‘Man, that’s how people feel before they kill themselves.’ But I could never do that because my spirit is strong… Many people let themselves go and that’s why it happens.”said the former champion.
However, he has left an encouraging message: «Nothing lasts forever, if it rains the sun will shine again and when it rains enjoy it, you are alive, you are on earth. No matter what happens, nothing lasts forever, that’s life,” he concluded during his speech on the tatami of the gym.
