I don't take that away from Conor, that he beat Chad Mendes on short notice. Chad took that fight knowing he had a chance to beat Conor, so that's Chad's fault he took that fight.

Max Holloway

Strikeforce let me take a fight on short notice outside the promotion and I got robbed on a split decision against Kendall Grove. I easily won that fight. So, I went from 9-0 to getting robbed and suffering my first loss.

Derek Brunson

Preparing for a short-notice fight is dangerous, it doesn't even matter who you are preparing for. Short-notice fights suck.

Tony Ferguson

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

I don't want to sound arrogant or cocky, but taking a fight on short notice against 'Cowboy,' you have to be mentally strong.

Donald Cerrone

This is what I tell, especially young women, fight the big fights. Don't fight the little fight... Be the first one in, be the last one out. Do your homework, choose your battles. Don't whine, and don't be the one who complains about everything. Fight the big fight.

Barbara Walters

At my first amateur fight, I was seven years old. My dad took me to go fight San Diego.

Andy Ruiz Jr.

I tagged a first-timer one night at fight club. That Saturday night, a young guy with an angel’s face came to his first fight club, and I tagged him for a fight. That’s the rule. If it’s your first night in fight club, you have to fight. I knew that so I tagged him because the insomnia was on again, and I was in a mood to destroy something beautiful.

Chuck Palahniuk

My first MMA fight was July 2006 here in Brazil. I won a few fights here in Brazil, and then I got a chance to fight in the UFC, but they put me against the number one contender for the title at that time. It was Fabricio Werdum.

Junior dos Santos

Once I started fighting in UFC, things took a big U-turn. After my second fight, I came home and paid my mortgage off.

Michael Bisping

I don't want to be one of those guys who says, 'No, I won't fight that guy' or 'I won't fight the guy there; I need to fight him here,' or that sort of stuff. The UFC says, 'This is who you're fighting next,' and I say, 'Cool. Let's do it.'

Benson Henderson

It doesn't matter that I'm taking a fight on a month's notice. I've taken many fights on two seconds' notice.

Brian Ortega

Anybody they ever offer me in fighting, I'll probably never be surprised, unless it's the guy's first fight in the UFC.

B. J. Penn

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

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.
