Fitness Quote by Beneil Dariush
“I always make a joke about this but it's true; Conor can make a highlight video of training hard and like, 'Alright guys, title shot. Give the man a title shot.' People will be saying 'look what he is doing, look at the way he is hitting the bag, look at the way, I don't know, he is pushing himself in the wheelchair.'”
