MMA Fighters who torpedo'd their own careers without outside the cage actions?

Karo comes to mind. Couldn't stay off the pain killers. Had awesome Judo and fun to watch

Yeah bro,

You ever want to be depressed just look at that guys career.

Could have easily been an all time great.

Why do people keep saying Jones destroyed his career??? Dudes the current LHW champ and is about to murk Anthony Smith for his 9th defense. He's had some self induced setbacks ofc, but it's not like he's done. All he has to do is keep his shit together and he can easily re-establish his legacy.

Also, to answer TT: Lee Murray, Warmachine, Cung Lee (Had he focused purely on MMA instead of acting, he could've been something special. I believe he's the most successful Taekwondo practitioner to ever transition to MMA)

I kind of feel like Jones has a lot of "what could he have achieved" questions with his career.
He has had so much time out, that he is now "back" but he as almost started his LHW reign again fresh. If he never fucked himself over - would we now be seeing him at HW because he has cleaned out the LHW division?
Imagine if DC never actually became LHW champ. Instead it was Jones running through all of those competitors. And DC went to HW instead.
Jones fucked up his career. He could have been the Ali of MMA - instead he will be remembered like Tyson.
