Mixed Martial Arts Quotes

Bruce Lee:

"...the best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt to any style, to be formless, to adopt an individual's own style and not following the system of styles".

Dana White:

"If you look at the way Bruce Lee trained, the way he fought, and many of the things he wrote, he said the perfect style was no style. You take a little something from everything. You take the good things from every different discipline, use what works, and you throw the rest away".

"We feel that no two individuals are more deserving than Royce and Ken to be the charter members. Their contributions to our sport, both inside and outside the Octagon, may never be equaled".

Mark Colemans:

"Ground him and pound him".

Wanderlei Silva:

"I fight for my fans and they know I give my best. Every time I need to give a good show for them because tickets are so expensive and pay-per-view is so expensive. The fans know which fighters want to give a show. I love my fans and fight for my fans. It's so incredible that I'm from Brazil but when I fight American fighters the crowd is much more for me over the American fighters. They know I'm going to put on a show".

"In your life you have bad moments. Everybody has bad moments, but if you believe in God and working hard, good moments they'll come ...".

Brock Lesnar:

"This is no load of bull; it's no WWE stunt. I am dead serious about this... I ain't afraid of anything, and I ain't afraid of anybody. I've been an underdog in athletics since I was 5. I got zero college offers for wrestling. Now people say I can't play football, that it's a joke. I say I can. I'm as good an athlete as a lot of guys in the NFL, if not better... I've always had to fight for everything. I wasn't the best technician in amateur wrestling. But I was strong, had great conditioning, and a hard head. Nobody could break me. As long as I have that, I don't give a damn what anybody else thinks".

Royce Gracie:

"There wouldn't be any legacy, no UFC, if it wasn't by my father's efforts to prove that Jiu Jitsu is the most efficient martial art of the world".

"I'd never tap, I'd never tap there or any other occasion".

"I'm the best paid fighter in the world".

Carlos Gracie:

"Jiu-Jitsu constitutes the natural defense the weak person disposes of against the strong person. It is a sort of leveling process through which brute force, confronted and dominated by the wise application of rational mechanics, is led to admitting that the human being, usually taken as a body endowed with a soul, should actually be deemed a soul that happens to reside in a body.This, however, no matter what our philosophical or religious orientation is, must never mean disregard or lack of attention towards the body we use in this world... ".

Miesha Tate:

"I can't believe that I have a belt to take home with me. I really had to dig deep those last couple rounds. Like I said, I had a tough end to my training camp, but I just feel like I went out there and I did what I needed to do and I won the fight and I'm world champion".

Krzysztof Soszysnki,

"I would definitely say somewhere in the percentage of 85 percent of guys are definitely using, especially the guys who can afford it are definitely using. I would even go as high as 95 to 96 percent of the top level athletes that are definitely using it."

Rampage Jackson

"When I be losing I be gettin' my ass whupped. But when I be winnin' I be doing the ass whuppin'!".

Ken Shamrock

"You got kicked by..., a kick".

Tim Sylvia

"I'm the oldest I've ever been...., right now".

Joe Lewis

"Everyone has a plan until they've been hit".

Napoleon Bonaparte

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".

Bruce Lee

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times".

Theodore Roosevelt

"Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly".

Muhammad Ali

"I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong... No Viet Cong ever called me nigger".

"If I wasn't a boxer, I don't know what I'd be. Maybe a road-sweeper, but I'd be the best damn road-sweeper in the world".
