Decision Quote by Gilbert Burns

“On bottom, on top, on my feet, with my hands, with my knees, with my kicks and even if you've got to go to a decision, we'll go to a decision but every time I step into the octagon, I don't look to a decision. I look for the finish. If I cannot finish, then I look for domination.” quote by Gilbert Burns
