Forget about jiu-jitsu and wrestling - I'm a boxing guy.

Junior dos Santos

One thing I took - you know, especially from boxing at a young age - from my coach was, if you're a jiu-jitsu guy, and you only cater your training to jiu-jitsu, there's going to come a day and time in your career when you face a guy who is a great wrestler, has great takedown defense, and he's going to make you look silly.

Brian Ortega

I paid too much attention to boxing. I wanted to try professional boxing. That's why I didn't focus on wrestling and jiu-jitsu, and it hurt me.

Andrei Arlovski

I try to get better with every fight - my boxing, my wrestling, my jiu-jitsu, everything.

Alexander Gustafsson

MMA is not jiu-jitsu. MMA is not boxing. MMA is not wrestling. It's a different kind of style of punching and wrestling and grappling on the ground.

Jan Blachowicz

Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, some good old-fashioned wrestling and plenty of cardio. You name it, it's part of my routine.

Chris Weidman

Jiu-Jitsu is the bond or styles all between all the other styles. Take Jiu-Jitsu out, a boxer is just a boxer, a kickboxer is just a kickboxer. Take Jiu-Jitsu out of the wrestling - what is he going to do, take the person down and? There's no finishing holds, there's no striking.

Royce Gracie

For me, boxing's like checkers, and MMA's like chess - there are so many ways to win the match. It's not barbaric; it's boxing, kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, cardio and it's all reached such an amazing level. As fans learn more about the sport, they just fall in love with it.

Tito Ortiz

I spent a lot of time in a boxing gym but I concentrate on everything, wrestling, the Jiu-Jitsu and everything else.

Andrei Arlovski

Chandler has fought great jiu-jitsu guys before, like Benson Henderson and my brother. He's practically impossible to submit. Of course he can get caught, but I think that's very difficult. His wrestling is a great counter to the jiu-jitsu approach, it makes it very complicated for them.

Patricio Freire

I try to show good technique - boxing technique, wrestling technique, jiu jitsu technique.

Andrei Arlovski

I tried a bunch of things, like Jiu Jitsu boxing classes. I don't know why, but I did.

Jimmy O. Yang

People that don’t know and hear about it, they start to think that all the people that do jiu-jitsu smokes pot, is a drug addict. Here I am fighting for something good, and the guy is fighting for something bad, in my point of view. I can’t agree with that, what he represents. Nothing to do with his jiu-jitsu, his school. If you want to do something like that, do it in private. Keep it to yourself.

Royce Gracie

I don't know Jiu-Jitsu, I don't know wrestling, all I know is how to fight. Period.
