QUOTES

Sean Spencer
“Drew is a tough kid.  I threw everything I had at him and he didn’t go down.  I knew he was a good wrestler but I had been traininging originally for a black belt in jiu-jitsu so there was a slight change in plans but I felt prepared.  Im just glad I got a fight in.  Im still growing into my game and getting better every time Im out there.”

Drew Dober
“He got me good.  He came ready and I just couldn’t get going.”
