A Quote by Babe Ruth

If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery. I have the same violent temper my father and older brother had. Both died of injuries from street fights in Baltimore, fights begun by flare-ups of their tempers.

If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.

Babe Ruth

I've been in many street fights. I fought street fights for my friends to protect them.

Andy Ruiz Jr.

The baseball fights, you don't ever see the squaring off like you do in hockey, and in some instances, that's where baseball fights can be potentially more dangerous because you've got guys running all over the place and people throwing punches at you that you don't even see half the time.

Tom Glavine

The best under-the-radar rivalry is Dodgers-Giants. I had no idea how deep that one was until I moved to California... that one goes waaaaaaaaay back, and both sides absolutely detest each other. Fights in the stands, fights in the parking lot, the whole thing. It's every bit as bitter as Yankees-Red Sox without nearly the same hype.

Bill Simmons

Street fights are unpredictable, dirty fights.

Imi Lichtenfeld

I just want fights like that. Fights that get me excited. Fights that are going to be exciting.

Dustin Poirier

I was introduced to fighting by my brother - he's a tattooer, a tough guy - and I completely fell in love with it. I was watching fights on YouTube all the time. I would go to parties to watch UFC fights.

Katie Kitamura

These kinds of fights, these big fights that get everyone talking and interested, these are the fights I want.

Eddie Alvarez

I don't watch a lot of featherweight fights yet some of those fights are the best fights ever.

Robert Goulet

I had 33 kickboxing fights, 37 MMA fights, plus 44 amateur boxing fights, which most of them were international. I will keep fighting as long as I feel good, but I will repeat once more, any fight could be the last one.

Mirko Cro Cop

I mean, I've had fights with random guys, I drove to fights by myself cutting weight, no corners whatsoever. So I've had a very interesting MMA journey.

Aljamain Sterling

Remember this well. There are two kind of fights. As long as we place ourselves in battle, we must always know the difference: fights to defend life... and fights to defend pride.

Tite Kubo

Anybody in Britain, the big fights. I'm here for the big fights. I don't care about the little fights any more.

Shannon Briggs

People don't understand: I've had 37 fights, three to five fights every year, for 17 years. That does something to somebody. These suspensions are the only vacations I've ever had.

Nate Diaz

I have fought my brother some times before. We got hurt sometimes, needed stitches, but it was normal after the fights. We always had a positive rivalry that pushed both of us to our best.
