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

When I got into the sport and wrote down my goals, it was never to be a UFC main event or to be a on a UFC main card. It was to be the UFC champion.

Joseph Benavidez

I'm very comfortable in Bellator. It would be interesting to have superfight between a Bellator champion and an UFC champion. I wouldn't have to necessarily migrate to the UFC. We could just have one duel. When it comes to the best fighters in the UFC, I think I'm better than all of them.

Patricio Freire

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

When I couldn't sign with the UFC, I think my goal of being Number 1 in the world went out the window. There's just no way of doing that at Welterweight without being in the UFC. I could go 50-0, and as long as it's outside the UFC, I'm not going to be Number 1.

Ben Askren

I came to the UFC to fight with top-level fighters and become the undisputed, undefeated champion. This is my goal.

Khabib Nurmagomedov

I feel like everybody's who fighting, young fighters and still learning and growing, that should be their goal - to be the UFC world champion.

Dustin Poirier

When I started fighting I've always thought about being a UFC champion.

Jimi Manuwa

My long-term goal is to become the UFC champion and to hold that 205-pound title. If you're not really in it to do that, why even bother with a sport like this?

Ryan Bader

When I first started, I lived in Vegas because I was fighting in the UFC, and I was still fighting after the UFC.

Matt Riddle

I didn't know that I would be the UFC champion. Did I intend on being the UFC champ? Yeah, absolutely. I didn't exactly see myself doing this as a full time job or career but I certainly intended for it when I started down this path.

Benson Henderson

Bellator offered me a job. UFC never offered me an opportunity to fight. There's no question that UFC is the top. It's a machine. A lot of people, including myself, have helped build the UFC to where it is today.

Ken Shamrock

Before I got in the UFC, I wrote down on a piece of paper a goal that I was going to make it to the UFC in 2015 and then I'll be the world champion before 2017 so I'm right on track. I pull out that piece of paper all the time and look at it. It's motivation.
