A Quote by Demetrius Andrade

That's where my amateur background helps. You step on a scale, you fight whoever they tell you to fight.

After I won my first amateur fight, I figured I would do fighting on the side while I was going to school. I got an offer after that amateur fight to take a professional fight. The opponent kind of wanted to have an easy win for her pro debt, and they said they'd pay me $1,500. I was like, 'Yeah, might as well get paid for what I was doing.'

Paige VanZant

I lost an amateur fight where it was supposed to be my last amateur fight before going pro and people were like, 'Oh, you think you're going to make this? You just got knocked out as an amateur?' And I went on to win 13 fights straight and become a world champion, the best in the world.

Cody Garbrandt

Fight, fight, fight and more fight. If you have that burning desire in you, if you're just one of those guys that does not like losing and you fight and you fight and you fight, that's what makes you a good wrestler.

Alex Dodd

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

Every fight is a fight for my life. And I step in the ring and make sure that I fight with that on the back of my mind.

Jermell Charlo

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

Andy Ruiz Jr.

I trained for about a year before I had my first amateur fight. I won by knockout, and then, for my second fight, the guy didn't even show up.

Stipe Miocic

I have a fierce will to live. Others fight a little, then lose hope. Still others - and I am one of those - never give up. We fight and fight and fight. We fight no matter the cost of battle, the losses we take, the improbability of success. We fight to the very end.

Yann Martel

Whoever they want me to fight, I'm going to fight. So I really don't care.

Stipe Miocic

Whoever has lost a fight in the UFC and hasn't wanted to fight that guy the next day shouldn't be in the sport.

Nate Diaz

The great thing about rock n' roll is, if you want to fight - like, fight the system, fight the man, fight the government, fight the people in front of you - it's Don Quixote all over again. You're really chasing windmills.

Billy Corgan

I will fight whoever the UFC wants me to fight.

Eddie Alvarez

If I tell a man he needs to quit his soul-sucking job, he has to go home and fight with his wife or fight with his parents and fight with his in-laws and fight with everybody, because men aren't supposed to be happy; they're supposed to do well.

Martha Beck

No one step back, that is the idea.... Fight it out, whatever comes. Let the stars move from the sphere! Let the whole world stand against us!.... What of it? Thus fight! You gain nothing by becoming cowards.... Taking a step backward, you do not avoid any misfortune.

Swami Vivekananda

I'm very close to Poliana Botelho, Virna Jandiroba and Amanda Ribas, too. It's like I always tell them: 'If we're going to fight, it might as well be for the belt. I don't want to fight you in a normal fight.'

Jessica Andrade

A great champion needs a background in amateur boxing, I?'m convinced of that. There you learn everything that you?ll need later as a pro. Someone who?s got more than 400 amateur fights behind him no longer gets nervous before going into the ring and doesn?t lose his nerve during a fight. You know all the boxing styles, you?re prepared for anything, you?ve got the pedigree that you need to be a successful pro.
