I have a good relationship with the UFC.
I think I owe a lot to the UFC and UFC fans.
There's no shortage of fighting talent in the UFC; that's what makes it such a great organisation, and that's why I'm so proud to be a part of it.
For sure, the UFC and MMA became way bigger than boxing.
It is amazing to have the UFC to come here to Perth... it is great for Australian Mixed Martial Arts and great for the sport, and it is going to be great for Perth to have such a world-wide event, through pay-per-view, hosted here.
Middleweight is the best division in the UFC, in MMA in my opinion.
'Fight Master' is a proving ground for young, aspiring fighters who want a chance to play on a bigger stage. That's something it has in common with 'The Ultimate Fighter,' which has always been like a farm league for the UFC, a place to develop new talent.
When St-Pierre retired, it brought a lot of enthusiasm to the weight class, and things got shook up.
The UFC has been so good to me over the years, and it is hard to leave this company and this sport.
I don't really dabble into the politics of MMA too much.
I was free on the market, and I wanted to go to the UFC, the only global organization.
It's no secret that the UFC doesn't promote Brazilians.
I think the UFC's done a great job of building the brand, building the UFC, building MMA.
When Georges St-Pierre goes away, what's going to happen to the UFC? Uh-oh, when Anderson Silva is gone, what's going to happen?' The answer is: Yes, there are other stars.
Orange County is one of the all-time great markets for MMA.
UFC have the best fighters.
I'm not thinking of any other leagues. I'm really not. I'm thinking of what can I do to move Bellator forward. I'm thinking of what we need to fix, what fighters we should sign, where we can expand internationally.
You go out there and say I fight for the UFC, people know exactly what that is.
This is the UFC. UFC has the best fighters in the world. That's it.
UFC has done a fantastic job of establishing the biggest leading brand in mixed martial arts. Years ago, many people didn't know what MMA was nor understand the sport.
The MMA world is a much better place when the Diaz brothers are fighting and thriving, isn't it?
In a line of horses, I'm the zebra. I'm not doing it, man. Don't get it twisted - there is no show on UFC Fight Pass bigger than 'Fighter and The Kid.'
Many of my greatest fights and moments were in the UFC, and they were always good to me.
I guess I am not supportive of certain issues that link up with UFC. So, you won't see 'Big Brown' on 'UFC Now' anymore.
