Bad Quote by Cain Velasquez
“There is always a possibility that you could lose, because the outcome isn't written yet: you have to go out and write it. If you want it bad enough, if you do the training and prepare yourself to succeed, and do everything in your power to win, you'll have a better chance of succeeding.”
