Better Quote by Dan Hardy
“I was knocked out at the O2 Arena in front of my family and friends. For a fighter that's humiliating; but it's more humiliating when a fighter makes excuses. I much prefer a fighter that immediately says: 'I will learn from this and be better next time.' That makes me excited about seeing them again.”
