“What I did, it’s just a statistic, and it will be broken.” 

Todd Duffee on his seven-second KO victory.  

“I’ve learned a lot from what I’ve seen from Georges St Pierre and from a brief conversation I had with him. People say ‘Wow, what an athlete’ but they have no idea that he is so smart and so scientific about fighting. He’s miles ahead of everyone.” Frank Mir 

“I’m Phil Baroni, and I’m a real fighter. Dana [White] wants real fighters in the UFC.” 

Phil Baroni

“People have seen so little of Shane. What they don’t know is that this guy is an endurance machine. He’s got great wrestling and was a national champion. And he has the hardest ground and pound, the hardest punch of any kind that I’ve ever seen. The guy touches you and he’s going to knock you out.”  

Nate Marquardt on Shane Carwin 

“I don’t know if it’s Mr Nice Guy. It’s not like I found God and I’m out there trying to make up with everybody but it just sort of worked out that way. It takes a lot of energy to fight with people – but I like it. If you piss me off, I’ll fight with ya.” 

Dana White on his recent change in behavior. White did a press conference recently where he didn’t swear once. 

“I feel that I’m a different fighter for Fedor; Fedor hasn’t felt the power that he’s about to get. I have to be patient, pick and choose my strikes and go for the kill.” 

Brett Rogers on fighting Fedor

“Machida is my friend, he’s my brother. There’s no way that fight will happen.” Anderson Silva on fighting Machida.  

“I play a ton of video games. When I was at EA Sports they told me I could have any games I wanted, so I just stole everything. I was literally a kid in a candy store.” 

Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller
