After I knock out Randy Couture, I'll fight for the heavyweight title, the real heavyweight boxing title in October or November, come back and fight in the UFC in January or February. It doesn't matter, I'm a two sport athlete. The oldest man to ever do that.

James Toney

Anyone in the UFC, that should be your goal, to get the UFC belt and to fight for that title.

T.J. Dillashaw

Coming into Bellator, I didn't want to slide into title contention just because I was in UFC. That wasn't fair to the other women. If I had to fight through all the women, I wanted to do that.

Liz Carmouche

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 want the real title. I can't express it enough that I want to fight for the real title. The interim title, from what I've seen... people get it, and then they take it away in a month. I just don't want to be that person.

Brian Ortega

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

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

I don't think we can fully understand just how much pressure is on these fighters' shoulders once they win the UFC title. It's a grind just to get to the title fight. You're not earning a lot of money, and the sport takes a real toll on your body. And then once you get the belt, you've got an army of fighters coming for you right away.

Ariel Helwani

An interim title is just a guarantee at a title shot. If I'm going to fight the best guys in the world, I want a guarantee that I'm going to fight for the title.

Luke Rockhold

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

Every fighter is dreaming about the UFC and then once they can get into the UFC, they are dreaming about a title and I've made all of my dreams come true.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk

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 you get asked if you want the title, you really need to push for that. That's why I want to do it my style, not do it so loud, but I want to fight for the title.

Demian Maia

I feel like - and I think the UFC feels it as well - that I put on good shows every time I fight. The fans have responded well to when I fight - they seem to enjoy it - and that's what I strive to do.
