Bas just fell a little in my eyes, letting Kerr dang him up in a hotel like a junkie is so wrong
A red herring fallacy doesn't change his point. He said he lost respect for him shooting up, being honest about it is irrelevant. Besides, why should someone get credit for what they are supposed to do? Which is being honest. It's a sad statement on society when not lying is considered some big accomplishment.
Though just from reading it you heard Bas talk, because 100% read that to ourselves in Bas' voice.
Can someone who has any experience with painkillers explain to me why they would so addictive ?
But that gave him kind of away with me, because I started sweating, and I always asked him 'why are you sweating so much?'. So as soon as I started sweating, I remember I was all looped up and I looked at him and I said 'now you gave yourself away. Now I know why you’re sweating. So I want you to stop that stuff'. But from that moment on he was already on his way down.

About Bas stories...
I love Bas, I started MMA at the beginning of PRIDE and Bas is top 3 MMA commentator to me.
But the more time passes, the more I start to question some of his "craziest" stories.
Met several (famous/respect) fighters that told me that some of them were bullshit/exaggerated.

And Bas is wrong about that. Opiates don't particularly make you sweat (yeah there is the methadone exception), and Mark most likely injected him with oxycodone, since that was his drug of choice.
But Bas mentions a bottle, so maybe morphine more likely.
And that doesn't make you sweat, expect when you're litteraly overdosing, which obviously didn't happen.
Bas was probably sweating from his injury or the shock of being pain-free again, but I'm just nit-picking.
Just wanted to correct that for the readers

I know right? What a jerk for being honest about something. They would have gave him the same painkillers at the hospital, but Bas is a complete junkie now.
Next time I want him to lie and just say he called up hulk hogan and the hulk sent him some vitamins that made everything all better.
he should have prayed the pain away like a good christian we all could be proud of.
"Honesty" was the word used, but what the person was referring to was transparency and vulnerability. He has no obligation to divulge that information. It is commendable that he is willing to be transparent and vulnerable regarding a taboo subject. And considering that he only accepted legal prescription drugs on one night and never got addicted isn't really that big a deal. I'm sure the porn that you guys fap to is more of a reason to lose respect for someone. Get over yourselves.
Bas was retired at that point and who really gives a shit what drugs Bas used while he was training other fighters?
That's like looking down on Greg Jackson for taking a friend's prescription pain killers because he badly bruised his kneecap and didn't want to sit at the hospital for 4 hours.
I agree with your point about honesty but Bas shouldn't get shit rubbed in his face because it was the truth that some random person didn't want to hear.
Most fighters bullshit about drug use, from painkillers to steroids and it's refreshing to hear the truth for once. Bashing fighters or former fighters for being open about their faults only encourages dishonesty because other fighters wouldn't want the same backlash.
he should have prayed the pain away like a good christian we all could be proud of.
