Distance Quote by Gilbert Burns
“First of all, when the guy controls the distance the way Conor controls the distance, it's not easy to take the guy down. Another thing that people don't realize is those guys that kick a lot, they develop a lot of power in the hips so those hips are very flexible and very strong.”
