“I’m devastated by what he’s been through and some of the things I’ve heard. I’ve not sat down with Quinton to this day to discuss things. I pray for his well-being, and if I helped Quinton out a little bit with his growth in the sport, then I’ve been very blessed and honored to do [...]

“In my opinion, I think Kenny’s going to determine what type of fight he makes it. Kenny could run over Roger if he really wants to, or he could allow Roger to give Kenny a fight. I think Kenny’s ability to harness his energy and ability to control his aggression and not become emotionally attached [...]

“It’s definitely frustrating. I was upset, of course. But I’m going to keep on fighting. It could be a blessing in disguise with the other organizations out there. It’s like a three-year deal with the ['The Ultimate Fighter'] and all. I think they can release you whenever they want. So yeah, they kind of let [...]

UFC middleweight contender Patrick Cote appears to be wielding an almost inordinate amount of confidence toward his match up with much considered best in the world, Anderson Silva.
From Sherdog:
“I do this sport to be No. 1, so I can’t ask for more. To fight the best guy pound-for-pound in the world and to have a [...]

“I’m going to appeal it and my agent, Ken Pavia, is going to appeal it and Dana thought it was bullshit whether it was unintentional or not. I don’t think the UFC wants fights to end that way.
As soon as the fight was over with, the UFC doctor and everyone was begging me to go [...]

“That’s sound great, I think GSP is an incredible fighter. But I think GSP needs to prove himself. He still hasn’t had a successful title defense (at 170 lbs.). I don’t really feel that he deserves (a Silva fight) yet. Go defend your title a few times and then we’ll talk.”
Anderson Silva’s manager, Ed Soares, tells ProMMARadio (via [...]

“The first punch I threw. It was a straight left. I knew right away it broke. But I had to keep going. I couldn’t throw my combinations I had worked on. Coach Tompkins was yelling at me to throw my combos. At the end of the first round I went back to the corner and [...]

“It’s not like Rampage. He’s a good guy, he’s a law-abiding citizen. I’m very, very concerned for him. He’s a very close friend and this certainly doesn’t sound like him. I’m concerned about what’s going on.
If you lose a fight you’re always very upset but Rampage is experienced – it’s not the first time he’s [...]

“They offered me Dan Henderson, Wanderlei Silva, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, Lyoto Machida and then Reese Andy. I turned down Machida. He’s not someone you take on short notice. You gotta get ready for Machida. The other fighters turned down the other fights so that’s how we came to Reese.”
Brandon Vera, who will make his light [...]

“I’m looking for a well-rounded athletic fighter, but the most important thing to me is record. It’s very frustrating in my job. I don’t look for victims. I pride myself in making competitive matchups.
I don’t care what happens in the gym. Lots of people do well in the gym. Going in the cage is a [...]

“I want to go out and show my skills, my last fight hit the ground too much – he (Jason Day) gave me the opportunity to take him down, and he couldn’t handle the ground-and-pound.
Your next fight is always your biggest fight, you’re only as good as your last fight, so yeah this is the [...]

“Everybody’s saying that my power looks and good and actually my kicks look faster and harder now. I was 212 (pounds) today at the end of practice … I think it’s working to an advantage. It’s making me hungry and meaner.
Talent-wise, man, the who’s who of 205 in the world is in the UFC right [...]

“Tough [expletive deleted], buddy. Get in line. That’s just the way it is. This is a business and it’s a sport, it’s entertainment and it’s all three of those words wrapped into one. [UFC president] Dana White and [co-owners] the Fertitta brothers didn’t buy this company to say, ‘Hey let’s see if we can run [...]
