Aldo's story is pretty inspirational. Unfortunately he won't ever get the respect he deserves among the mainstream and wave of new fans Conor brought to the sport.
I know this is nitpicking, but I swear I've never seen a single person on Sherdog who understands the tried and tested sports axiom, "You're only as good as your last game." It has nothing to do with a fighter's legacy being tarnished by late career losses. It means that how good an athlete currently is should be evaluated separately from their legacy, their reputation, and their hype. Every sports fan in the world gets this concept unless they train UFC.I'm quite interested to see how Aldo's post fight trajectory goes as he struggles with the you're only as good as your last fight concept. Tons of fight critics inevitably will choose to recognize fighters for their last few fights and not much of anything before that and I don't see any way to change this. Let's hope Aldo finds a way to cope since it's gonna stay with him permanently.
Jon Jones.
I can't think of a better role model. Who doesn't dream of making millions, banging hoes, and doing mountains of cocaine?
Was joe daddy the one who selled candy tom is his real name right the season was a mess so I don't rememberThis last season of TUF, even though things didn't go his way, I found Joe Daddy's story pretty crazy. Hard not to love that guy.
Also Frankie just based on the way he fights. All heart.

I've seen several episodes of "Dog the Bounty Hunter."

Not exactly most uplifting, but i think of these two names:
Matt Brown- used to be a drug addict.
Frank Mir- we thought he was done after the bike accident.
