I am making this post just three days after Ben Askren was on the receiving of the quickest KO (5 seconds) in UFC history. For those poker players that are experiencing downswings or losses, I find that the attitude that Askren is showing during this interview can be an exemplar of how to handle losses and defeat...

He lost on July 6 and this interview was taken on July 8. Conor McGregor, Rhonda Rousey, and Phil Hellmuth should watch this interview.
I have been browsing some of the threads in the psychology forum, especially those made by people who are struggling with how to emotionally handle downswings and bad beats, and this interview can lead them to find solutions.
