A Quote by Anthony Johnson

Going down to 170 was hell. But if I hadn't fought at 170, people wouldn't know who Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson is.

I don't want to go that route where I'm going into fights dehydrated. I used to fight at 170 pounds. I was 10-0 at 170 with eight knockouts. I'm not going to listen to somebody from the outside tell me what weight I should be fighting at.

Eddie Alvarez

I think I'm the best in the world at 170 pounds, so why would I need to go down? If, at some point, I beat everyone at 170, I'd consider going up. If I've eliminated all my challenges, yeah, at that point I would consider going up.

Ben Askren

I'm beefy. I feel good at 170. My wife loves me at 170.

Tony Ferguson

They say that most airline seats on planes today are meant for 170-pound passengers. The last time the average American weighed 170 pounds, the Wright Brothers were flying the plane.

Jay Leno

170 is not a popularity contest. 170 is a working man's weight class where you work hard, you get your rewards whereas at lightweight, it wasn't the same. You could work as hard as you want, win as many fights as you want, and there's no promise what you're going to get out of it.

Michael Chiesa

When I was ranked No. 11 or 12, they offered me Gustafsson who was the No. 1 contender, and I didn't hesitate. I was No. 10 when I fought Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson who was the No. 1 contender. We accept fights, but not everyone is like that, I'm beginning to find out. It's not right.

Jimi Manuwa

Fvery time Anthony and I are supposed to fight, the lines come out, and it's like we're dead even. It's like people don't know what to make of a fight between Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson, when in reality, it should be very easy to know what to make of a fight between me and Anthony Johnson.

Daniel Cormier

At 170... I need to have a 97 percent performance. And some of the guys at 170, they need to have maybe an 85 percent performance. They need to not be at their best for me to beat them.

Benson Henderson

Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson hits hard. You gotta watch out for him. He's got hammers as fists.

Stipe Miocic

The better you get, the less you run around showing off as a muscle guy. You know, you wear regular shirts-not always trying to show off what you have. You talk less about it. It's like you have a little BMW - you want to race the hell out of this car, because you know it's just going 110. But if you see guys driving a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, they slide around at 60 on the freeway because they know if they press on that accelerator they are going to go 170. These things are the same in every field.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

I don't see myself ever going up to 170.

Dustin Poirier

I think after I beat Ryan Bader, he should have to go get beat up by Anthony Johnson for being so disrespectful to Anthony Johnson.

Daniel Cormier

I know I belong at 170. There is not a shadow of a doubt. This is my division and there's a clearcut path to the title.

Michael Chiesa

I'm about a 160, 170 bowler so I feel like I'm pretty good - I'm average, but I don't stink, you know?

Warren Moon

To be honest with you, Conor McGregor at 170, I think he's just going to be thrown around like a little rag doll.

Stephen Thompson

At 185 in the UFC they had Rich Franklin and Anderson Silva, and I couldn't go to 205 - they had Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell and all of those big guys. I just wasn't mature enough, so if I hadn't fought at 170 I probably wouldn't have had the career I've had.
