Champion Quote by Gilbert Burns
“I've known Kamaru for a long time, since the very, very beginning. Right away we kind of liked to work with each other, and that was always a war. So when Kamaru became a world champion, that motivated me a lot. He just made it even more real for me because I know I could do it.”
