I was just glad I've got an opponent, to be honest. This is my third opponent for this fight prep. [I'm over the moon] to be fighting in my hometown and I just didn't want that taken away. The fact that they've got me a new opponent, I'm not bothered who it is. I just focus on what I can control in my preparation and that's all I've got to worry about. My opponent changes but they're all great fighters in the UFC. Doesn't matter who you step in there with, it's going to be a tough fight.

Richie Vaculik

The more dangerous the opponent, the better fight I've fought. It always made me move in ways I'd never moved before.

Eddie Alvarez

Make no mistake, I always want to win, but I never fight with an opponent. My fight is within me it is the struggle to be the best I can be at whatever I do.

John Wooden

The more dangerous my opponent is, the better I fight.

Carlos Condit

I knew that 'Next Thing' was an angry album while I was making it. But I thought that it was angry the way that you get in a fight, not angry as a huge life change.

Frankie Cosmos

They like to match giants against smaller guys in Japan, so I'd like to fight a heavier opponent. I'd like this type of fight, against a stronger opponent.

Patricio Freire

Jon Fitch is a great opponent, a tough opponent, but St. Pierre brings the whole backing of Canada with him to a fight.

B. J. Penn

When I'm ready to fight, my opponent has a better chance of surviving a forest fire wearing gasoline drawers.

Mr. T

I always pray for my opponent to have safe care and make it to the fight healthy.

Jermell Charlo

In life, purpose is defined by the thing that makes you angry. Martin Luther was angry; Mandela was angry; Mahatma Gandhi was angry; Mother Teresa was angry. If you are not angry, you do not have a ministry yet.

Myles Munroe

I never focus on my opponent - I focus more on myself: knowing what my strengths are, where I can take the fight, how I can win the fight, and the intensity that I'm going to bring to a fight.

Michael Chandler

I would never discredit the sport or my opponent by reading my injury list before or after the fight. I've always thought it's a very underhanded thing to do, and it's a very cowardly thing to do, to come out and say, 'I'm hurt,' particularly if you win a fight.

Chael Sonnen

Everything you do involves sacrifice. My work is to honor my principles, my opponent, and what I believe in. I stand for it, I fight, and I try to get better every day as a human being.

Vitor Belfort

The game is a war, and in a war you fight. My opponent is just the director of the opponent's army.

Daniel Naroditsky

I love controlling a race, chewing up an opponent. Let's get down and dirty. Let's fight it out. It's raw, animalistic, with no one to rely on but yourself. There's no better feeling than that.
