Go Quote by Gilbert Burns
“Every time that I go to the sparring session and I need a good look, Kamaru was a good look for me always and I was the same for him. We have a couple wars, all in Florida, Blackzilians, Combat Club, Hard Knocks, Sanford, and he's a very good one. I beat him up a couple times, he beat me up a couple times.”
