How he responds after accomplishment is another. Finally, after two consecutive losses, we see the full measure of his desire. Three is almost unheard of at the championship level. They either get back on track, or retire - unless you're Ken Shamrock. Similar thing happened to Chuck Liddell, now climbing his way back to the title fight. Probably more similar to Rich Franklin, who has lost twice to the current champ and could still beat up just about everyone else in the division.
