MMA is not jiu-jitsu. MMA is not boxing. MMA is not wrestling. It's a different kind of style of punching and wrestling and grappling on the ground.

Jan Blachowicz

I think a lot of fans don't know MMA that well. They don't understand the subtleties.

Ben Askren

I accept MMA, I appreciate MMA, I even get techniques from MMA, surprisingly, like footwork techniques and how I move. It's different and unorthodox to what boxers are normally used to.

Daniel Jacobs

I think it's counterproductive for actors to come to the set with well-thumbed copies of the book their film is adapted from.

Charles Dance

I think people in the MMA world don't like boxing because it's not as exciting as MMA because you don't get big slams.

Travis Browne

Speaking on all of it in general, I think we, as MMA fighters, should be getting paid just as well as the NBA players, the NFL players and Major League Baseball, hockey as well, I'm not trying to skip any sport as I don't think any sport is superior to the other.

Anthony Johnson

Liverpool are known for this 'rock and roll' football. I think I've adapted well to this even if, as a player, I like to hold onto the ball longer.

There's a reason why MMA is only three five-minute rounds, or five fives when it's a title fight. MMA is so much more demanding on the body - the wrestling, the changing levels, all that takes a lot out of you. Boxing is a breeze for us after MMA.

Artem Lobov

Shayna Baszler

People shy away from it [MMA] because they think it's a brutal, brutal sport, and I've said, 'Guys, MMA is safer than football and boxing,... And people tell me they don't believe it. Am I not the most credible person to give you the answer to that?

Herschel Walker

I have adapted well in Liverpool.

Fabinho

On the one hand, our minds try to probe the ephemeral reality of the quantum world; on the other, we talk, think, and act in a language adapted for discussing trees, rocks, and automobiles -- as well as poetry and emotions.

F. David Peat

For a lot of MMA fans, especially in the UFC, they didn't know who I was... unless you're really involved in women's MMA.

Liz Carmouche

It's MMA. I'm a complete MMA fighter. I expect everything. I'm ready for all of it.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk

When it comes to wrestling, judo and boxing they are at a good level. They can compete in an international level. On the amateur level it is extremely high. Transitioning to MMA for them would be easy. I think we will see a lot more Cubans in MMA as it gets easier for them to complete.
