I'm a professional athlete. I've been paid since I was in my early 20s to go out there and fight with guys who were 40 or 50 pounds heavier than I am and fight for my life. I got into a business where people make decisions based on some of the most stupid things.

Bill Goldberg

Streetfighting is just get out there and bang. It's whatever in a street fight. This is different. You have to be real smart in your decisions at this professional level of the game. In a street fight, it doesn't even matter.

Kimbo Slice

You have to look like an athlete and you have to look like you could whip somebody. And let's face it, unfortunately Shawn Michaels couldn't whip anybody in a real fight as proven with every single fight he's ever gotten into with everybody in the business.

Jim Cornette

There are multiple reasons why I choose to fight for Bellator MMA and Scott Coker. One, they have given me the opportunity to develop and grow a business together. Two, because I already feel respected by the promotion as a professional athlete. And last but not least, because Bellator is offering a setup that no-one in the world can offer me.

Rory MacDonald

Chael Sonnen

She poked him in the center of his chest with two fingers to punctuate her words. “You are an unfeeling”—poke —“traitorous”—poke—“mistrusting”—poke—“rude”—poke —“booby!” Every poke turned him mortal, but Lord Maccon didn’t seem to mind it in the least.

Dominick Cruz

It's either join the workforce or become a professional athlete, and I'd rather be a pro athlete.

Marquise Goodwin

If you're a professional athlete, and after the game, you're eating at the same place that somebody in the audience is eating at? You're making a mistake.

John Salley

I've never had to make weight for any sport before. Because, get this, I was not allowed to do any sports in school because I was a professional athlete. I was doing wrestling at the age of 15, so the school districts and the board of directors said that because I was a professional athlete that I couldn't do anything.

Rich Swann

When I fight, part of the swagger that I had when I used to fight on the street comes out. When I fought on the street, I used to try to embarrass someone for even wanting to fight me.

Rashad Evans

At the end of the day, we're professional prizefighters - stop acting like street thugs. We're not going to fight in the streets.

Colby Covington

I never liked the trucking business. I did not intend to spend time in the trucking business. I was a professional, I wore a suit everyday. I was going into law school, or Wall Street or to get my MBA. That's where my head was at.

Louis DeJoy

I let beef get settled in the street, I just handle my business as a professional boxer.

Adrien Broner

When I was growing up, there was always somebody who wanted to pick a fight with me. I'd say, I'm not a famous boxer, my father is. If you want to fight somebody, go fight my Dad.

Richard Gibbons

For a child, it's not so much scary, it's surreal; there was a lot of fighting in my great-grandmother's house; you'd go there and then someone would meet up and there'd be a fight; I've seen my uncles fight in the street, I've seen my grandmother fight in the street, it becomes normal.
