In the UFC, it's about names. Every fight is hard, and everybody knows all the disciplines. Some might know more than others.
I love MMA. I love the sport of it.
Watching two men jib and jab for 12 rounds is not entertaining for me. I want action, knockouts, big shots, and people getting up off the canvas. That's my ideal fight.
You can never have enough wacky in MMA.
I know MMA isn't for everyone. It is a combat sport; some people don't like watching it, but it is entertainment for some people.
I watched the UFC way back in the day, before there were time limits. I always knew it's what I wanted to do some day.
I want to go out there and be clean in my performances and showcase great knockouts.
I'm usually looking to wrestle and grapple, but I guess the knockouts just happen.
Those deep, dog fights - I love that. That's why I fight.
It's not just about knockouts, son. This is mixed martial arts. It's about finishing people. It's about putting in that time, putting in all five rounds.
The novel wins by points, the short story by knockout.
I don't feel the need to do anything other than what I've been doing, beating my opponents, getting some knockouts, keeping the fans coming. I don't need to do anything other than that.
I didn't really have intentions of fighting in MMA; it just kind of fell into place. Once I started fighting, though, I loved it, and I walked away from kickboxing right away.
I'm just going to punch him and do my best. If the knockout comes, it comes.
The quick knockouts are nice, but going through a war now and again is a good experience to know I've done it.
I win by submissions, knockouts. There's guys ranked above me, but no one's interested in seeing them fight. They want to see me fight.
It's a fast-paced somewhat violent sport, but it's very much entertaining. And the greatest thing about mixed martial arts is that it transcends a lot of demographics.
There are boxing fans, and there are fans of the UFC. People want to see blood, but people like both.
In the year 2013, I fought six times. I fought four times in two-and-a-half months.
The strawweight division may be the lightest division in the UFC, but we are very tough fighters.
UFC is street fighting in a cage. Boxing is a controlled, skilled talent. There's no comparison.
There is no sale without the story; no knockout without the setup.
I played a lot of the original 'Fight Night.' I think the depiction of Trinidad in the game was awesome.
I know that you need to be entertaining at the beginning to get people interested, and what interests people is knockouts and excitement.
I enjoy fighting here in Japan under the regular Dream/Pride rules with the ring and the whole rules criteria.
