Chris Curtis: “Every Corpse on Mt. Everest Was Once an Extremely Motivated Person Too”
Fight Network Staff / March 30, 2017 - 12:05pm
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (March 29th, 2017) — Wilfredo Santiago is brimming with confidence less than 72 hours before challenging Chris Curtis for the CES MMA World Welterweight Title Friday night on AXS TV.
That’s fine, says Curtis, before warning his opponent he should perhaps err on the side of caution.
“I’m glad he’s motivated for this, but, remember, every corpse on Mount Everest was once an extremely motivated person, too,” Curtis said.
