The first time I saw a commercial for my fight was UFC 210.

Demetrious Johnson

Back in '93 I saw my first UFC fight and just became enamored by it then.

Kevin James

When I went to college, I came across MMA. My first reaction was, 'No, I don't want to fight. I just want to learn jujitsu.' I didn't know what UFC was; in my mind it was this violent, ugly sport. But when I watched my first amateur fight, I fell in love with the sport and thought it was beautiful.

Miesha Tate

I don't want to fight in UFC just because I was a champion in UFC. I'm gonna have to earn it. It's gonna have to be how I fight.

Andrei Arlovski

In the UFC, you are only as good as your last fight. It's really a fight-by-fight type of career in the UFC.

Frank Mir

Back when the UFC first started, I wanted to see what MMA was all about; at the time, I was training with Tank Abbott, and so I went to see him fight. While at the fight, I saw this guy fighting that I just crushed in high school wrestling, and I thought, 'Hey, I'm a street fighter, and I have a wrestling background,' so I gave it a shot.

Tito Ortiz

To stay in the UFC while fighting top opponents... tell me one easy fight I had in the UFC. I have a history in the UFC.

Charles Oliveira

It's not up to me. I will fight whoever the UFC puts in front of me. If it was up to me, I want to fight Dana White.

Mirko Cro Cop

At first, whenever I first got into the UFC, I was like, 'oh my God, I'm in the UFC.' When you come from where I came from, being in the UFC basically meant I was on top of the world.

Derrick Lewis

I have a boyfriend and a dog, and I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up.

Chelsea Clinton

Jens Pulver was a former UFC champion. He's a guy who I followed and looked up to. It was my first big fight in the Sacramento arena.

Urijah Faber

In MMA you have to take one fight at a time but I want BJ Penn. The fans want to see it and, while I'll fight whoever the UFC tells me to, I want a shot at BJ.

Diego Sanchez

In my first interview in the UFC, I asked them to throw me among the lions. I wanted to fight the best, and that's what the UFC did. Ex-champions, future champions - that's what I wanted.

Charles Oliveira

I signed a contract to fight at UFC 187, so I'm going to fight at UFC 187, whoever it is against. It's the same thing.

Donald Cerrone

After the Ronda fight, I wasn't sure what the UFC held for me. I think coming out of that fight, I didn't know if losing that fight meant that I could get cut because I knew the rumors at the time was how easily fighters could get cut from the UFC.
