I'm always down to fight a legend of the sport.
I love UFC, vigilante films, and any acts of merciless heroism.
I'm a girl: that means I fight like a girl. And there ain't nothing meaner.
When I first used to tour, guys would come up and say, 'Where's the fight club in my area?' and I would say, 'There isn't one.' And they'd say, 'No, no, you can tell me, you can tell me.'
Stockton is a great fight town because if you drive long enough on some of these roads, you'll probably see a pretty good street fight.
As someone that was a good ambassador of a growing sport, that always wanted to fight the best fighters and always gave the fans the best he could give.
Joe Frazier was the epitome of a champion. I mean, here is a guy who was total old school, blue collar, who would fight anybody. You know, he didn't tell you he was the best fighter pound for pound.
One of the reasons I started pursuing MMA was for all the similarities to pro wrestling that it has.
If I see a fan talking down on my resume or another fighter, it just motivates me to go out there and prove them wrong and fight the fighters that they say will beat me or that will give me trouble in the ring. They ain't going to never really give you no credit, no matter what you do.
Kiwis, we love a good one out. We love a good fight. This is part of the culture. Straight up. We're a country of a warrior race, the Maori.
Back in the day, you used to have to fight three or four fights in one night with no dodging nobody, and that's what the sport got built on.
I'm a true fighter, not an Instagram fighter.
My mom is, like, my biggest fan of my fight world, which is funny 'cause you'd think it'd be the opposite.
I could never say that fear really gets to me. I'm not one of those fighters like Nigel Benn who says, 'I thrive on fear.' I walk through fear.
Gracie is not a family, it's a factory of fighters.
Back in the day, I was a Royce Gracie fan and a fan of Tank Abbott. It's always the different-looking guys that you want to root for. Then there were guys like Mark Coleman and Randy Couture, so for me to get in there and fight against guys like that is pretty cool.
I want the whole world to watch me fight. But you know if people are just tuning in to hear me trash talk are not fight fans.
You have to entertain in the UFC. Like it or not, this isn't news. It has been this way for a while, and it will continue to be this way.
Fight fans always appreciate a fighter who is willing to step up on short notice.
I think that men's clothing should be functional. If there's a rip in his jeans, it should be because he was out working, not because he ripped them so they looked cool. It's even better if they're ripped because he got in a fight.
I absolutely haven't set out to burnish a reputation as a macho figure by picking fights.
I'd like a big fight in America, it would cap off my career in a great way.
I'll respect any man that walks into the ring but people like Eddie Hearn and Joe Gallagher who've never taken a slap in the mouth in their lives shouldn't be disrespectful towards me and other fighters.
Not only do I not want to be stereotyped as this Asian girl who fights - gee, what a wonder - but also I have more to offer than that.
I had a kind of romantic notion about being a Hollywood Errol Flynn type. Honestly, I did not get into a lot of bar brawls - but I was always willing to. About the only thing missing from my story is that I haven't had a full knock-down fight in the middle of the Polo Lounge.
