Sadly, the Master’s career seems to have been KO’d by booze.

I was going to put Drew on my shitlist with Josh Barnett and other notables, but I will put him on my “hope he gets well soon” list, we do not need another Williams/Levens/etc to happen.

Hope he gets some help.

I’ve said it before i’ll say it again, i’m a huge Fickett fan but everytime that I see something with his name on it in an mma site I cringe. This guy is on a downward spiral and I fear that it’s going to end traggically somebody needs to help him before it’s too late.

Isn’t crazy horse more or less adored for beeing such an awesome fighter despite his problems more than he is riddiculed, I haven’t seen kimo that hated upon either. Regardless of what one thinks of how ppl should live their lives I find it tragic that a person who showed promise, for whatever reason, simply can’t seem to get it together again, I see that as a loss for the sport regardless.

On an side note tangentually related to this subject. I was reading here and found

The death of both bouts can be traced back to Thursday June 26, 2008. When Strikeforce officials needed a late replacement opponent for 170 pound Luke Stewart, Fickett was there to answer the call. While sitting in the airport Fickett’s plans were abruptly vetoed when his manger at the time Bryan Hamper received a profanity laced voice message from Mark Pavelich President of the Maximum Fighting Championship.

I went to middle school with Bryan Hamper and that middle school fed into two high schools. He went to my rival high school and although in a different weight class, we wrestled in the same matches. His team was much better and I admittedly sucked. He won a state title and I did roll with him when we had combined county practice before regional. This story is how I found out that he is a sports agent. crazy world.
