"The only way I can explain it to everybody or people who think I'm crazy or whatever – my parents thought I was crazy when I first told them I wanted to fight in the UFC – is my most favorite scene in the movie, I think it was 'Troy,' when the little boy went into the tent, and Brad Pitt was in there with two women and said, 'They are calling me for war,'" Vera said. "(The boy said), 'He's a big man. I wouldn't want to fight him.' Then Brad Pitt told the little boy, 'That's why the world will never know your name.' mmajunkie.com
“I think one of the first things I thought as soon I saw him get knocked out, was, ‘Oh dear, everyone’s going to be back down on the U.K. again,” said Hardy. sherdog.com
“I want to fight now,” he continued. “I don’t want to be wasting time. I’m training for a certain type of fight, and I don’t want it to get pushed back. But I guess it happens, and I’ll deal with it.” mmaweekly.com
"My response is not a smack at Fedor it is the plain and simple truth that the best fighters are in the UFC. I was going to face a world class fighter in Cain and now a very tough Brock. I do not have any choice in who I face or when I fight. I am asked to go fight and I do it. We did not hold out for a co-promotion or any other ridiculous terms to fight for the UFC title, I was honored to be offered the opportunity. Guys like Chuck Liddel wen to Pride and lost during their prime and they still became icons. I am a fan of warriors. Warriors do not win every fight they just go into battle to win every fight. If that makes me a jerk I am guilty." shane-carwin.com
"Mark Coleman's the first victim on the list. Mark's a tough fighter. One of the best heavyweight world champs formerly. Now he's coming down to 205. He's one and one. He lost to Shogun and then he beat Bonnar so I think it's going to be a tough fight. A lot of people think it's going to be an easy fight for me; I don't think so. I just gotta put in the work as hard as possible and try to press the pace as much as possible," stated former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz as he spoke to FightHype's own Nick Sanchez about his anticipated return to the Octagon and his upcoming clash with Mark Coleman at UFC 106. fighthype.com
"Someone is going to have bragging rights. Floyd won't quit without a fight. The man is all about getting paid and proving his skills in the ring and in the business world. He is one smart guy that I really respect. The same can be said about Dana White. It will be very interesting to see what happens," stated billionaire Mark Cuban as he shared his thoughts on boxing going head-to-head with mixed martial arts on September 19th when Floyd Mayweather Jr. faces Juan Manuel Marquez and the UFC heads to Dallas, Texas for UFC 103 at the American Airlines Center, home of Cuban's Dallas Mavericks. Check out what Cuban had to say about HDNet Fights, boxing, the UFC, the Dallas Mavericks, his Dancing with the Stars advice for Chuck Liddell and much more. fighthype.com
"Why would Neil want to fight James again? I don’t understand. If James went and strung some wins together maybe you could justify it, but he’s on a four-fight losing streak,” he said. “And as for the car park, I don’t think he would win out there either. We've got no interest in this fight.” fightersonlymagazine.co.uk
Undefeated "The Ultimate Fighter 9" winner Ryan Bader (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz (15-6-1 MMA, 14-6-1 UFC) will each host September Q&A sessions for the UFC's Fight Club members. mmajunkie.com
