Every fighter wants to go out on top, and if that’s not the case, they’ll likely either spend the rest of their lives trying to achieve the glory that eluded them or leave it all behind to move on to something else. The former scenario certainly makes for better drama, and that’s part of the…
Starting over is never easy, and feeling the pull of a problematic past can threaten any future success.
