I'm here at Madison Square Garden as world champion and have a world champion's mentality, the pressures on to defend my belt - this is what champions do.

Rocky Fielding

Winning the belt is one thing. But you're not really a champion until you defend it.

Forrest Griffin

The belt doesn't represent me; it's how you deal with people, how you represent yourself as a champion. The belt is a sign of a champion, but what makes a champion is the things I have just said.

Anthony Joshua

For every champion, after you win the belt, you want to defend it as many times as possible.

Demetrious Johnson

I am not going to be one of these guys who doesn't defend his belt. I am going to defend my belt actively.

Israel Adesanya

I'm a champion and I fight like a champion with or without that belt.

Tony Ferguson

I'm not saying Gustafsson isn't a champion. He's not the champion that I am. He's not a champion at all. I've won the belt seven times. He got tapped out by Phil Davis and lost to me fair and square. This guy gets so much praise. Having a close fight with me was the greatest thing he's ever done.

Jon Jones

I don't need a belt to make me. I make the belt. I feel great and that's all that matters. I'm still heavyweight champion of the world.

James Toney

If you're very good, that can sometimes actually hurt you. How? Well, the promoter might say, man, he's going to come over here and beat our champion and will raise his price or will never come back and defend the belt.

Bob Sapp

I've been Intercontinental Champion lots of times, Television Champion. One of my favorites has been the Hardcore Championship because it reflected my favorite style, and I feel that the X Division belt does that, too.

Rob Van Dam

This is what champions do: champions defend. They always say you're not a champion until you defend your title.

Max Holloway

The ultimate goal for me is to be the world champion - it's all I've wanted to do since I was a kid - so when the money that comes with it is life-changing, yes, that's nice, but get The Ring magazine belt, being considered the world champion, is something money can't buy.

Callum Smith

I want the Intercontinental title to be seen as more than just a 'mid-card belt.' The Intercontinental Champion used to be seen as a threat to the WWE Champion. My goal is to return the Intercontinental Championship to that level of importance.

The Miz

The UFC want me as their champion. The welterweight division needs me as its champion. It's been static for too long. I'll win the title, defend it a couple of times, and then move up to middleweight.
