When you're in the ring, the guy who's not afraid to die, he will be the winner. He is the man who is not afraid of losing, the man who has tasted the bitter pain of falling, the man who had dirt gritted between his teeth from failure. In almost all sports, you can win through skill. This is not one of those sports. This is a fight driven by determination, technique, and raw hunger. You fight today, not tomorrow, not next week, today, because every second, every minute left untamed is a step further away from winning. There is no 'can't' in this sport; in a fight against your own conscience, you conquer the mind, and the body will follow. In the ring, it's not about the bigger man. You throw a punch, you move, move before the opponent hits you, tackle it under and strike, move forward. When you're knocked down, get back up, he, she, they can't tell you to quit, you never let your opponent see your back. Never quit, that's what separates a normal person and a champion.
"I am a champion." -The Bar Brothers
