To fight in the Octagon, you can’t just be a brute. You need levels
of dedication and smarts to orchestrate your success, by being part
entrepreneur, part scientist, part gladiator. There’s no school
like the school of hard knocks, and we know how many of those hard
knocks every MMA fighter dishes out and receives. It’s no small
wonder then to hear witty, inspirational, or wise UFC fighter
quotes. Here are some of the finest examples:

belt to be happy.”

fight, but it’s much deeper than that. If you can enter the ring a
better person than you were in your last fight, then it was a
victory"

what you are doing, success will come. You just have to keep
marching forward.”

go further."

yourself in a mirror. I’m facing a guy I share a lot in common
with. We probably had the same kind of life. Like me he made
tremendous sacrifices just to get there. If I’m disrespectful to my
opponent, how can I respect myself?”

punch, I don’t think about anything except the present moment. And

happening at the moment—same thing in life, it’s all a metaphor for
life—you take care of the moment and then the next thing will take
care of itself."
