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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Neither did anyone else on that documentary other than the 1 player to claim it. What I would’ve given to transport Justin Tucker for that kick

Probably all of the above honestly. CTE, opiates, steroid use, etc etc.

CTE? It’s known to change your personality completely. Addiction can as well, just saying after seeing many NFL players with this.

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

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.
