Everything Quote by Jim Miller
“There are very few people with 20 fights inside the Octagon, and there is a reason for that. It's just because everything about this sport - training camps and the actual fights - all wear on you. Training camps wear on you, and fights break you down, and you only have so many of those cycles.”
