Damn. RIP. So young. Never take a moment of life for granted.

Bonnar seemed like a good dude. And then he lost it. Behavior of an opiate addict in a downward spiral.

CTE? It’s known to change your personality completely. Addiction can as well, just saying after seeing many NFL players with this.
Accomplished_Locker t1_j1qool6 wrote
Probably all of the above honestly. CTE, opiates, steroid use, etc etc.

Yep. For a guy who made his living kicking the shit out of other people, he seemed likable enough

We need more Bonnars, and less covingtons in the ufc.

So drug related?

Just watched Napoleon Blownapart‘s vid on him. Kinda sad that this seemed to have been going for a while

I hate the negative implication of the term “opiate addict.” Most people gain addiction to these drugs through legal prescriptions for legitimate pain.

CTE was almost certainly the underlying cause of his demise.
If he chooses a non-violent career path, he’s likely still with us today.

Agreed. Many injuries from even sports-as-hobbies can lead to use their use and then a struggle to quit. It’s a dark secret of many sports

Remember him for what he was and the impact he made rather than what he unfortunately became.
TUF 1 Bonnar vs Griffin essentially saved the UFC and that's a hell of a legacy.

I know a guy in his 60's and has back issues, he straight up told me his life sucks without opiates and they are the only thing that allow him to function and move. He admits it sucks, he doesn't want to be dependent on them but on the some level I'd rather have him addicted to opiates and able to live than just being bed-ridden for these final years. He loves concerts and you tend to have to walk a lot at those, if he has some opiates he's got a few solid hours of walking around, without them he doesn't even want to go.
Problem these days is that due to abuse of the drug it's harder for him to get prescribed it regularly and they are like, "But you'll get addicted..." and he's like, "Yea....and I get to live a life." This guy would rather 5 -10 more good years than 20 years being bed-ridden.

CTE increases your risk for addiction so a lot of time CTE is a double whammy of behaviour changes.
Also a single concussion can change your personality brain injuries are not talked about enough.

Damn this is terrible to read. His fight in the TUF finale was one of the best fights of all time.

if you were a true ufc fan, you’d know colby’s a great guy and his story is great
mtdewelf t1_j1sy72v wrote
Bonnar was a fighter not a WWE type of character. I like that.
raduhs t1_j1sz7gj wrote
watch colbys old interviews to see what led him to this point smh. fake fans are just cringe, colby grinds his entire life just to almost get fired… while on a winning streak.
so ofcourse he’s a clown now. and you’d do the same in his shoes so stop hating bud
