“If you find yourself attempting to resist the world, one in all the steps is God asking you ways bad you would like it, and you then turn around and get injured, it’d be very easy to return to the bar and have this rage and animosity, but to date from Conor I’m seeing he’s still praising God.

“That shows me so much about his character… I’ve lost members of the family, I’ve embarrassed myself, and each time something goes incorrect I all the time give praise back to God… To date he’s holding true, so meaning so much… Conor has already won… He’s a extremely great example of humans will be so imperfect but so unique and special. I just hope he doesn’t surrender and he lets his light shine.”

The 38-year-old stated that he’ll undergo surgery just a few days ago, nevertheless, he remains to be waiting on the outcomes from his scan to seek out out the extent of his injury.
