Joe Pfeiffer, 29, who has emerged as a new UFC middleweight rival, has revealed his shocking past of trying to end his own life just weeks before he sank former champion Israel Adesanya. The whole story of miraculously returning from the end of despair has been revealed.

The U.S. media "National Today" focused on the serious mental pain and suicidal thoughts Piper experienced before defeating Adesanya at the UFC Seattle main event on the 31st (Korea time).

According to reports, Piper from Philadelphia was pushed to the point where he was about to take his own life in February due to stress in relationships, such as separation from his lover.

Piper said in an interview, "At the time, I was once again looking for a way out to escape from the pain. "I just wanted to bury everything," he said. "But this time, I decided to face it face-to-face. I cried and prayed to God to save me, to let me believe in you. It's easy to give up, but holding on to life again was the hardest thing of my life," he confessed.

In particular, he explained that he had a spiritual experience at a critical moment. Piper said, "In my dream, God came to me and gave me an out-of-body experience. I came to look at myself objectively, and I was disgusted by the way I was at the time, he said, adding, "Thanks to him, I was able to realize what I really wanted and what kind of person I wanted to be and find a mental breakthrough."

Piper, who overcame this inner struggle, had a major accident against Adesanya, an absolute middleweight powerhouse, at the main event held at Climour Pleasure Arena in Seattle on the 25th. He seemed to struggle with Adesanya's sense of distance and pressure early in the game, but he won the game with a powerful left-handed counter hook in the second round. Piper took the opportunity and won the TKO victory in 4 minutes and 18 seconds of the second round with ruthless drilling.

Piper, who caught a big fish, shed tears on the octagon after the game. "It was so hard that I tried to kill myself a few weeks ago, but I finally met God," Piper said. "For me, Adesanya is the best middleweight player in history. I respect him from the bottom of my heart," he said.

He also turned to Adesanya, who was criticized after the defeat, saying, "It hurts me that people seem to be too harsh on him. Someone's victory can be someone's pain, he said. "Adesanya is a great fighter who fought equally with me. He also showed maturity, asking him to stop negative comments.

On the other hand, Adesanya, who has been in a quagmire for four consecutive losses due to the loss, said, "I don't leave the Octagon. He made it clear that he would never stop me," he said.
