Quote by Conor McGregor

I learned from it, learned how to do the move better, learned how to avoid it being done to me.”

Other times I'll call up my wrestling coach, or my jiu jitsu coach, or my deep-tissue guy, and want to really focus on one part of what I do. I train in all these different disciplines.”
