Quote by Matt Lindland

“I never got into MMA to be famous, I got into it to compete and pursue athletic aspirations. They were my pure intentions. I came from a true sport, an Olympic background, winning multiple national, international and Olympic medals. So I entered MMA as a sport.”

Your heart rate goes up. Your reps go up. And you start to get in the frame of mind.”
