ya'll should read the article linked to in the BE article,
http://mmajunkie.com/news/2012/12/through-the-past-darkly-reflections-on-ufc-on-fox-5. at least Ben Fowlkes bothers to say something relevant:
it answers many of the questions already asked in this thread, like:
Jorgensen decided to stop fighting vitiligo
actually, no, he decided long ago to
not start fighting it. "his mother fought with her insurance company to get them to cover a laser treatment that was supposed to help it, he told us backstage."I went once, and it was worse than getting tattooed," Jorgensen said....From that point on he figured he'd just live with it, but doctors had told him he had a particularly aggressive case of vitiligo. Turns out they were right, Jorgensen said, because now it "pretty much just took over.""
I don't know why he didn't do this before...
he changed nothing; the condition just took time to do it's thing fully.
fair play, don't think it's an issue for many people. Hope it's no issue for him.
it isn't.
That's interesting...I was wondering if it had just gotten the best of him or become more more aggressive.
got the best of him. it was always an aggressive condition. "doctors had told him he had a particularly aggressive case of vitiligo. Turns out they were right, Jorgensen said, because now it "pretty much just took over.""
