Fight Quote by Cub Swanson
“For a long time, I've been an overthinker. The problem with that is when you're in perfect shape for a fight and you've got everything worked out and you've got all the moves you think you're going to need and everything's fine but in your own mind you're going to make up things and you just add pressure.”
