WWE SmackDown Superstar Montez Ford has opened up about his battle with body dysmorphia that dominated a significant portion of his life.

On a recent edition of “The MMA Hour” podcast, Ford recalled facing dysmorphia, a topic he has spoken about in the past. He said,

“As calm, and patient, and collected as I am, I am more hard on myself than anybody else, and I think during the time period it was just me not being satisfied in how I wanted to present the world to myself.

“The world was happy, wife was happy, family is happy, ‘You look great, you look great,’ but I think sometimes people misunderstand. If I am feeling this way, this is not the world’s fault, it’s something internally.”

Ford added that it was difficult to have “the whole world praise you” while he was not comfortable with his body.

The Street Profits member has seen significant improvement over the past year. In November, he won a body-building contest and plans to enter more.
