“I am happy with how the UFC is treating me. They are treating me better than the organization I came from – Pride. I can’t complain. Money can always be better. Fighters have to fight each other.

Quinton Jackson

“My husband has been trying very hard to get me cauliflower ears.”

Kim Couture

“I’ve never, ever had my arse kicked.” 

Michael Bisping

“Have you been booed before? You will see when you are booed once. You don’t feel anything. I accept other people’s opinion, but I don’t care what other people think of me. I don’t think I’m either a heel [bad guy] or a hero.”

Yoshihiro Akiyama

“I feel like everything in the USA is bigger, including bigger portions of food and people are so open minded and have bigger hearts. We eat either meats or sushi everyday. Diet Coke here tastes different than the Japanese one, but I like it.”

Hayato Sakurai on life in the USA

“It’s a hit and miss game. Are you willing to pay the price if you miss?”
