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

After the Ronda fight, I wasn't sure what the UFC held for me. I think coming out of that fight, I didn't know if losing that fight meant that I could get cut because I knew the rumors at the time was how easily fighters could get cut from the UFC.

Liz Carmouche

My first MMA fight was July 2006 here in Brazil. I won a few fights here in Brazil, and then I got a chance to fight in the UFC, but they put me against the number one contender for the title at that time. It was Fabricio Werdum.

Junior dos Santos

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

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

I don't want to fight in UFC just because I was a champion in UFC. I'm gonna have to earn it. It's gonna have to be how I fight.

Andrei Arlovski

I got into the UFC after six months of training. I started doing jiu-jitsu, had my first fight, tried out for 'The Ultimate Fighter,' and got on.

Matt Riddle

In the UFC, you are only as good as your last fight. It's really a fight-by-fight type of career in the UFC.

Frank Mir

In my first interview in the UFC, I asked them to throw me among the lions. I wanted to fight the best, and that's what the UFC did. Ex-champions, future champions - that's what I wanted.

Charles Oliveira

I tried to take every little thing and use it as an advantage. People were asking me how it felt to be in the UFC, and I wasn’t thinking about that. All that mattered was Alessio Sakara. I had to win that fight. Even now I still haven’t got time to sit back. Again, this is a must win, must dominate, fight for me in my eyes, and I won’t be happy unless that’s the way it goes.

Chris Weidman

When I left the UFC, it was a good business decision for me at the time, but it's good to be back home with the promotion where I made my name. When I would fight in other organizations, people would be like, 'Oh, the Arlovski, you are UFC fighter, right?' And of course, that's how everyone knows me.

Andrei Arlovski

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.
