“You’re only as good as your last fight. We ask our guys to come in and leave it all in the ring.”

Dana White

“I’m pretty hungry. I think I want a cheeseburger.”

Jose Aldo, after winning the WEC belt

“You stick me in front of a camera and a microphone and I am going to blah, blah, blah and hopefully you are going to either want to watch me get my teeth knocked out or knock somebody’s head off.”

Mayhem Miller

“Okay, and I want all of you to write this down, I want to fight Fedor. Alistair Overeem wants to fight Fedor in April 2010. So write that down, I don’t care [where]. Maybe in DREAM, maybe in Strikeforce. I don’t care.”

Alistair Overeem

“Brock is getting better and that is the most important thing. I can just say that the heavyweights can stop laughing and get ready to start crying, because the champion will be back soon.”

Rodrigo ‘Comprido’ Medeiros, Brock Lesnar’s BJJ coach

“I remember when I was a kid, I would actually burn and rip my GI-Joes up. When they lost battles I would melt them and put my mom’s makeup on them for blood – I got in a lot of trouble for this by the way – and smash them like they’d had a car accident or something, and I can’t wait to see a Forrest Griffin doll beat up with some kid putting his mom’s red lip-gloss over my face and breaking off one of my arms.”

Forrest Griffin

“I still have some gaps in my skills, and that’s why my trainers press me hard to work hard and improve. In spite of the fact that they try to work me hard and make my game perfect, I still, in some places, look a little bit clumsy. We’re all human.”

Fedor Emelianenko
