Alan Belcher has been in a very dark place.
No, really. For a time, “The Talent” was confined to a massage table in a lightless room.
The top UFC middleweight contender has endured painful surgeries and
stressful rehabilitation as he works to return to action following a
detached retina, and Belcher says it has been only the support of his fans
that kept the darkness – both literal and figurative – from overwhelming
him during his road back to the octagon.
