Kenny here,
I don't think an entertainer/ comedian doing some social commentary is career suicide. He has become an important figure in the MMA world and I think he is going to be around for a long time. A lot of people, myself included, respect his work and find him super entertaining and enlightening on things MMA and some things outside.
My mom does yoga with him and always talking about how much of a smart and good guy he is. They sometimes hang out after yoga so I guess you can say that they are friends. I hope she invites him over for dinner soon so I can hang out with him.
lol. I dunno....
