“Everyone in boxing probably makes out well except for the fighter. He's the only one that's on Skid Row most of the time; he's the only one that everybody just leaves when he loses his mind.

You're holding them into you, their back is on you, and you are basically choking them gradually like a boa constrictor and once you've got them, the pressure goes on and they have to submit or they are going to stop breathing. It happened to me early in my career, and I panicked, and gave in, I tapped out too early. I learned a lot from that. I learned from it, learned how to do the move better, learned how to avoid it being done to me.” DoneBeautifulMovingSportsPowerfulCareersHappenedGoes OnPressureBreathingMost PowerfulSubmitBeautiful ThingsSubmissionChokeBeing Done Author:Conor McGregor
