Bjornsson said, “I have never been knocked out, never been knocked down in sparring, but so far it hasn’t been bothering me. It probably bothered me more in the beginning. Because if you look back, if you look at the pictures of me. The first few months of me starting this journey.”
“I had a black eye every single time. I had a back eye, a bloody nose, I was just f*** because firstly I was doing it wrong. I was sometimes sparring with 10-ounce gloves? Absolutely ridiculous.”
