“Dudes wish they were me, chicks wish they were with me.”

Phil Baroni

“Why do you think that his mind is so fried? Why do you think he crumbles before the big fights? He’s got no psyche. He let steroids give him a false sense of security and the moment that stuff is gone he’s no longer superman.”

Frank Shamrock on adopted brother Ken. 

“I still don’t consider myself the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Maybe when I retire, I can look back and then say I was the best pound-for-pound.”

Anderson Silva

“Realistically, another fight with Anderson wouldn’t be that interesting for fans.”

Rich Franklin 

“I’m studying English. When I looked up my English dictionary, I was surprised to see examples in the dictionary. Examples are like “Tell me who you sold the drugs to.” “I don’t know what you are talking about”. And also, I found a phrase “talk dirty”. Now I know the dictionary has such familiar phrases which I can use. I thought the dictionary only contains serious phrases though.”

Akihiro Gono

“I’m not retiring. I’ll be fighting for at least three more years. I’m done with the UFC, I’m done being taken advantage of, I’m done being disrespected. I’ve been in this sport 11 years, I gave them a third of my life, and they give me no respect.” 

Tito Ortiz
