I have always believed this. You would have a hard time finding anyone obsessed with anything where there wasn't some emotional issue driving it. Whether its body building, distance running, MMA or anything else. People who are content don't need to release frustration, get out their anger, aren't in a blind panic trying to change their body, or suffering from anxiety and so on..
At the end of every human behavior is a reason driving it. People who are excessive with anything have something driving that behavior, though we tend to rationalize it as being a healthy thing. I know plenty of former drug addicts who became hardcore body builders or fighters and the new addiction simply replaced the old.
You know enough about MMA to know that those who are serious all have issues. I love kickboxing and boxing and karate but I never stop asking myself "why". And I know why. I grew up being physically abused by my father and feeling helpless. You know that no one in their right mind can square off with someone knowing they can be seriously injured and be ok with it... or square off and actually enjoy someone coming at them trying to hurt them unless they are somewhere deep down fighting some kind of demons. A healthy, emotionally sound person generally can't and won't do it.
How many people here have an abnormal affection for lifting, MMA and guns? Seems obvious to me that those people have been made at some point to feel weak and helpless - most likely in the worst way imaginable.
