My conditioning (is better. You know they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but I feel like I’ve learned a lot.”
“I’m getting better each day thanks to my coaches” Miocic continued. “He’s getting better too. He’s still young and he’s hungry, and he wants something that I have. Unfortunately, I’m the champion and I’m not giving it up. He won’t be champ until I’m done.’
