My fight game is aggressive. I was at a time, well accustomed to fighting in the street, a few times in what I thought was life or death. I am older and wiser now but this instinct is still alive in me and I am trying to control/harness my inner aggression. Some of you may understand what I am saying others will have no idea, hell maybe I really am alone on this? Those who do know what I am talking about might recall a time or two where it did not matter if you lived or died, what injuries you may sustain or what condition you were in after the fact. What mattered was taking out the enemy because they were your enemy.
Any body else as fucked up in the head?

Yes, see a shrink.
Controlled aggression is a good thing. If you are worried about controlling your aggression it is only because you realize that it might get the best of you and cause you to do things you otherwise wouldn't that can have life changing negative consequences.
There have been many champion fighters with personal demons that ruined their non-fighting lives. You can argue about what the consequences of their problems to them and society were in comparison to the relative benefit to them and society of their performance.
But chances are you and I will never be championship fighters. If you are feeding or allowing to fester that inner rage and the most it does for you is occassionally allow you to beat the shit out of some nobody in a street fight, unsactioned event or amatuer competition, it is hardly worth the risk.
Our jails and prisons are filled with people who did something in a fit of anger they otherwise would not have done.
If you are afraid of yourself you have issues that need to be delt with. You are not going to get good advice on mental health issues on the Sherdog forums, bro. Try elsewhere. Seriously.
