A Quote by Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

We are very proud to step in the Octagon. — © Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
We are very proud to step in the Octagon.
Every time I step out there in the Octagon, I aim to do Australia proud. And this isn't for popularity or a fan base; it has never been for that. It's just because I love my country, and I want to show the world what we're doing down here.
To be honest, any one of those guys that I've stepped in the Octagon with - Darren Till, Anthony Pettis, Tyron Woodley - I would love to step back in the Octagon with those guys.
I got to share the Octagon with Clay Guida. I got to share the Octagon with Cub Swanson. Now I'm going to share the Octagon with Frankie Edgar. These are things that, as a fighter, you always dream of.
I do respect everybody who I step in the Octagon with.
I will never step foot in the Octagon
I like to step into the Octagon and just show what I'm made of.
Every time I step in the Octagon, I always try to finish.
If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means that you are very conceited indeed.
Before I step in the Octagon, I pray one last time and take a huge deep breath, and then I'm home.
I started this fight career with one objective. When I step inside a ring or an octagon, it is to beat the guy in front of me.
I have a taekwondo background, but I also try to invent new moves and make sure that when I step into the Octagon, I'm a different fighter.
I fight for the women. I try to do my best inside the Octagon to fight like a man; then, people will respect girls in the Octagon.
I'm just going to go out there, pop on my leather gloves, and constantly make connections outside the Octagon, and that will make me bigger in the Octagon.
And I come from a very proud Hispanic family. We're proud to be Latino. We're proud to be Peruvian. And my dad's side is proud to be Puerto Rican.
Not only in the Octagon, but also in life, sometimes I have to take two steps back to take one step forward.
It's just easy to stay on the couch and say something. Just put your gloves on and step in the octagon with someone.
