"I would love to see Conor come back because I feel that if he was at 100% we would be able to bring Khabib back. He would just need one fight, knock the guy out, and then the whole world will be talking to Khabib and getting him to come back. I know that fight bothers Conor because he didn't train at all for that fight. Twice a week he was training for Khabib... He was in the wrong mindset. He was in a party mindset. When I saw the fight, I was like, oh my God, if only you trained 4 times a week you probably would have beaten him." Imagine the Conor that fought the Eddie Alvarez, you know. That's what I want to see." - Artem Lobov

Rory MacDonald believes it's best that he didn't win the iconic fight against Robbie Lawler at UFC 189: "The [UFC] invited me [to the Hall of Fame induction]... It was right after I retired and I was being a bit of a baby. I felt like a loser at that point, I lost that fight. What am I gonna go accept an award for losing a fight? It was a great lesson and taught me so much about myself. I don't have any bad feelings at all, and I'm glad it came out the way it did. I think it was meant to be that I didn't win that fight. I don't think it would have been any good for me with where I was at my life at that point to carry that."

Nikita Zadorov wanted to fight Jordan Greenway tonight, and he was letting him know on the bench: “I just thought that if I have to fight after clean hits - you know, when I hit their top player, I have to give the guy a fight last year. I think that would be fair to give me [a] fight back… “…That’s one of our best players, that’s my brother. So I felt like that would be a fair trade-off. But I guess he didn’t want it. So, yeah.” WEEI #NHLBruins

"A lot of people say it's an accident, but I made that happen, you know what I mean? A lot of people don't like that, but it's a fight, things like that happen.

Aljamain Sterling reveals he signed new contract with the UFC before his fight with Youssef Zalal: "[I was on my last fight], which I didn’t know until last week when Hunter called me. I was like, ‘Why is Hunter calling me? Did I do something wrong?’ We had a good conversation. The main thing I took away from it was that he kind of felt like maybe I didn’t want to be with the UFC. I told him I’d hope to retire with the company. I’m just happy to be here, man—one fight at a time. When it’s all said and done, I’d love to have my last dance with the UFC. [The contract] is for five to six fights."

"Every time I step into the octagon... I fight for all my former opponents. I want those guys that I beat to know they didn't just lose to anybody, and I want the guys that beat me to know you didn't just beat some half-ass guy. If you beat me, you did something good, man. You accomplished a major feat... I take pride in every single fight, man. When I fight, I think about guys like Alex Pereira. To get a shout-out from him... meant the world to me." - Dustin Jacoby 🇺🇸

"When the PFL asked me who I would like, I said Luis Suárez because I had a beef with him on the back in the day when I was captain of United and he played for Liverpool. He had some racist abuse. I don't call him a racist, it's just that they used some racist words, and I want to do this fight... I think the world wants to see that fight." Patrice Evra hopes to fight Luis Suárez in his MMA debut.

.Stephen Thompson broke his foot early on in the fight against Gabriel Bonfim: "I think I did that like 3 kicks in, kicked him right in the elbow. My goal was to break his arms. I wanted to break his arms. I didn't care if I hit him in the arm, I could hurt later, but you want to break his arms."

.Caio Borralho on Nassourdine Imavov turning down a fight against him: "I said yes right away. I didn't even give any time to talk with my team. We were waiting for him to respond and then I heard that he said no, that he doesn't want to fight... That I need to face a top 5 guy first, but he's a top 5 guy. It doesn't make sense what he's saying. I just think that he knows that's the hardest fight for him in the division, and he doesn't want to take the risk."
