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 came from the bottom. Now I'm the main event and UFC champion.

Rafael dos Anjos

The main event has never been the manifestation; the main event has always been the way you feel moment by moment, because that's what life is.

Esther Hicks

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

Oh, man - I don't have just one favorite fighter, but I draw from many different aspects of each fighter. But I will say, just going back in the history of the UFC, just kind of trying to learn from each fighter, I've been looking at Brock Lesnar, all the things he did for the UFC back in the day, and his attitude and things like that.

Rose Namajunas

Any of my previous fights before the UFC and 'the Ultimate Fighter' were all main events and co-main events.

Tony Ferguson

One thing I see in a lot of coaches is they try to live through the fighter. You can't live through the fighter. You gotta allow the fighter to be the fighter, and do what he do, and you just try to guide him. Why should I have to live through a fighter, when I went from eating out of a trashcan to being eight-time world champion? I stood in the limelight and did what I had to do as a fighter. I've been where that fighter is trying to go.

Ann Wolfe

You know Rockhold is a very good athlete and great fighter. He is a champion in Strikeforce, in UFC.

Yoel Romero

My goal is to be the best fighter in the world, UFC Heavyweight Champion. There is no back-up plan.

Brock Lesnar

I'm so happy to have my first main event in the UFC.

Wanderlei Silva

We dreamt of that as kids growing up. Like, main eventing, being world champion, walking down that aisle at WrestleMania as the last match, as the main event, as the headliner.

Christian Cage

It's a learning process, and now I know that even when you don't have a title, or you're not in a main event caliber program, you have to remain 'main event level' and always not allow anything to hinder that.

The Miz

Everyone wants to be UFC champion, and that's my goal and my dream.

Mark Hunt

I am building a foundation in Cameroon, and it's not just about the sport. The goal of the foundation is not to make a UFC fighter. It's to help kids believe in their dream, to have a dream, to have a purpose in life.
