Ex-UFC fighter Kyle Kingsbury altered his career path after embarking on a mind-altering journey to figure out his next career move. After taking a Vision Quest by ingesting Ayahuasca, Kingsbury decided that he wants to open a gym.
After a nearly two year absence from the octagon, Kyle Kingsbury had one more fight. He lost soundly, but he said it helped him put his career goals in perspective (via MMA Junkie):
"This was for me. This fight was for me. I wanted to see if I could go in there with a clear head and perform. In terms of what I was shooting for from a mental standpoint and an emotional standpoint, I definitely got what I was looking for, and on the biggest stage."
Even though Kingsbury initially thought he wanted to be a firefighter, he got cold feet and decided to go on a Vision Quest (via TMZ):
"And after a trippy ceremony ... with some vomiting ... Kyle came to a revelation -- he should open a gym in Costa Rica to share his fighting talents with others.
"'I'm going to be doing what I love,' Kingsbury says ... 'lifting, fighting, being at a gym.'"
