Best Quote by Gilbert Burns
“To take Conor down is not an easy task... He's not a white belt. The guy has been in there a couple of times against the best, Khabib, Nate Diaz, Dustin Poirier, and many, many others. He's not that easy. People think, 'Oh just take this guy down.' He's not that easy. The point is, I think his jiu-jitsu is good.”
