“I want to take the skills that I’ve been working on and keep building on those and stack them on like building blocks... making every fight even better and better and going in there with new tricks and these are the things that I’ve refined because I love to hear those words from (Joe) Rogan and (Mike) Goldberg saying, ‘man, this is the best Nate Quarry we’ve ever seen.’” (MMA Weekly)

Hermes Franca: I don’t know. I think I can be able to fight long enough. I just have to respect my body. I think I got my injury because I fought like nine times in 2006. I have never fought nine times in a year – hard fights. I fought for the title. I fought like nine times in twelve months. I think I was hurting my body. If I am able to fight three times a year, four maximum, I think I can be able to fight many years. (MMA Mania)
