Just a few minutes ago I finished watching his post fight interview without knowing who he was. Great to see him recovering and doing better.
I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE THAT HE WAS ABLE TO GET HIS LIFE BACK UNDER CONTROL FROM THAT VERY DARK PLACE HE WAS IN 💯 . I DON'T KNOW HIM BUT , I'M VERY PROUD AND HAPPY FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS , THIS IS REAL LIFE STUFF THAT CAN GET US ALL AND MANY DON'T MAKE IT BACK SADLY , FOR HIM AND OTHERS THIS GIVES HOPE AND LIGHT AT THE END OF THAT DARK TUNNEL . I HOPE AND PRAY FOR HIM HE CAN KEEP THESE EMOTIONS AND THIS DRIVE GOING JUST ONE DAY AT A TIME . YOU HAVE TO THANK SCOTT COKKER FOR GIVING HIM ANOTHER SHOT AT THIS , WHAT A GREAT HUMAN BEING THAT MAN TRULY IS 💯 PERCENT A LIFE CHANGING CHOICE HE MADE TO DO THIS , HE IS SUCH A AWESOME PERSON 💯👍 .

Brennan❤️❤️❤️
Love this dude man, god bless you BW.

Opiate/oid
@@disf5178 cheers pal, me also, it's a hard habbit to kick,? It literally is a battle for your life.
All the best 🙏
Keep fighting bro, switch to weed if you have to better than pills. Keep fighting I’m a alcoholic and I start my recovery today, no booze or cigs and I’m doing it for my mom. Wish me luck
@@adamdespot4159 you can do it believe me, I have 23 years clean. I did it for my son when my wife was pregnant with him, he's going to be 23 this November. My grandfather was a junkie my father was a junkie, and I am a junkie but I choose not to use. By the grace of God I have not stuck a needle in my arm in 23 years. God bless you you can do it, and if you fall you can always stand back up.
So fucking happy he's back
Hell yeah Dog!! LFG!!!
Bkfc vs mike perry should be the calling All the way WAR
I always wondered what happened to him, I was always a huge fan of his and I still am. I have 23 years clean, my father was a junkie my grandfather was a junkie and I am a junkie, I just don't get high anymore. I would with my father. But when my wife got pregnant with my son, I stopped using he's going to be 23 November the 8th and I have not stuck a needle in my arm, since I found out my wife was having him. I had to change the cycle I could not imagine my son sticking a needle in his arm, and by the grace of God I have not fallen in 23 years and my son doesn't use drugs, he does smoke weed and he gets it medically. He doesn't even drink alcohol, and I thank God for that. I'm not going to say it's been easy, but I was born a fighter and I will fight to stay clean the rest of my life. God bless you Brennan and your family. I'm truly so happy to see you back in the cage because you are one of my favorite Fighters. And I know you can beat this battle also.
The music is horrible buddy. Consider something else next time IMO.
Good on him for getting clean… but he certainly doesn’t look very clean… if you know what I mean.
He's always been yoked. He's a big welterweight.
Severe addicts that are sober can still have the mannerisms.
@@evanstarkman2341 yeeeeeah... but it's bellator dude ;-)
@@khunter8757 wasn't referring to his mannerisms but his muscles :-)
@@technodromen Don't think he'd quit hard drugs, only to start test.
