Nick Smiley  is very open to talking about his troubled past. He has done it numerous times, in front of numerous groups. The worst part? The Georgian doesn’t hesitate much when asked about his lowest point. “I was mainlining coke, basically shooting up and trying to kill myself because I was too afraid to eat a bullet,” Smiley told MMAjunkie. It was during a period after the death of his very close uncle, who had given Smiley a livelihood and plenty of life lessons, that he diverged down a darker path.
