"I finally got to go with Conor," Landon Quinones said. "When I went with Conor it was a blessing because I was kind of nervous. I started moving with him and throw my jab, he throws a couple of power shots at me. I'm like 'Okay, it's one of those kind of spars'. The same way he thought us in the class he did a lead leg body kick with his toes.”
"He hit me with a left body kick right in my liver that kind of shut me down for a minute. When that happened I felt like I learned more in that round than I did in a lot of rounds in my career and I feel like I'm going to take that with me, the way I train is going to be so much different," he continued.
