“The level of difficulty in most areas of MMA is very high. It's a high...” — Jake Hager Quote

“The level of difficulty in most areas of MMA is very high. It's a high learning curve. The footwork in boxing alone takes years to master. I will rely heavily on my amateur wrestling to get out of bad situations and take me from defense to offense. I'll try to dictate the fight on my terms.”

“In this world, I feel like we all need to be nicer to each other.”

“All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.”

“When I'm alone, I can sleep crossways in bed without an argument.”
