A Quote by Carlos Condit
I've beaten a lot of guys where I've been the underdog throughout my career. And, I've made a career out of and I've taken a lot of pleasure in proving doubters wrong. And, you do that enough times and you start to believe in your abilities.

I have made a career out of arguing that we shouldn't be criminalizing political differences. I've made a career out of arguing that the grand jury is an abusive institution.
