“I just feel like I’m on this endless high on life. I’m very happy with my performance and I’m just looking forward to what’s coming next.” - Miesha Tate

“Chuck Liddell, you been putting your foot in your goddamn mouth. You’re on Twitter talking ‘bout how you’re gonna legbar me, armbar me, whatever... The fight starts on top first. When you go down low, I’m gonna launch your big punky head into outer space. I’m not worried about these UFC fools. I can’t wait to get into the cage. You’re gonna see real Ultimate Fighting at it’s best.” - James Toney

“As high as 20% of supplements on the market are tainted and it can be as simple as this.” - Josh Barnett, who tested positive three times for anabolic steroids, yet maintains he did not take any

“Boxers have got to adapt – some of them don’t know what to do. I don’t know what James [Toney] is going to do; I don’t know how prepared he’s going to be. He’s either going to be really good, or it’s going to be a circus act.” - Butterbean

“I’m the type of parent who will guide my kids. I think wrestling’s been really good to me – it gave me a lot of discipline – so I’ll try to guide my kids to wrestle, but if they don’t want to wrestle they’re not going to.” - Matt Hughes

“It’s just going to take time and some understanding. Eventually, people are going to see that this is a safe sport and nobody has ever had a serious injury. If my son told me he wanted to be a professional boxer, I would be worried. But if he told me he wanted to be an MMA fighter, I would be proud and I’d encourage that.” -Renzo Gracie
