Everyone reacts to personal loss differently. Some make space in their sock drawer where they can crawl into a fetal position and sleep for days. Others get angry, and lash out, throwing their controller of life against a wall like it was an Xbox gamepad. Alan Belcher goes the artistic route. He writes down his feelings of a post Okami/Belcher II in the moment - raw and real - and then shares them with us in a touching video with questionable video codecs and resolutions. Not many athletes are willing to go this far in opening themselves up to their fans, loved ones and general public. It takes a sort of bravery not many possess.

For this, we salute Alan Belcher.

Thank you to Mr. Belcher for sharing this with us. I knew he was crushed, he had a lot of hype behind him coming into the fight and to be honest I thought he was going to come out like he did against Paul Harris and crush Okami.. but he got controlled and lost.

I think Alan Belcher is the kind of guy who needs to lose in order to get the fire back; as history tells us he's done that. He's still on the right side of 30 and he can do it.

I was going to say that he should move down to welter but I guess buddy likes to eat a lot.. I think I like him more because of that. Mmm BBQ chicken infront of me covered in frank's hot sauce.

How honest. And how obvious is it that this guy needs someone to talk to other then a microphone. I like Belcher, but this sounds most like an apology to his wife. It must be so tough to be a pro fighter.

Here's a tip Alan: quit dropping for guillotines when they aren't working.

What a selfish way to take away from Okami's win by Belcher to post a video to some how get sympathy from fans. You lost plain and simple, you aren't at Okami's level. Losers post videos and make excuses.
