A Quote by Ken Shamrock

When I was scheduled to fight in Japan, and then I would come back to the United States, I would have to train, but there was nobody to train here. There was no such thing as a striker going with a grappler, or a striker going to the ground with a grappler, or a grappler standing up and fighting with a boxer.

Andrey Koreshkov is not well-rounded. He's been taken down and mounted and has his back taken by Lyman Good, which tells me he's a terrible grappler. He isn't well rounded. He's a good striker, but that's it.

Ben Askren

I want to be eventually be the best wrestler out there, be the best grappler out there, along with being the best striker - be all of them at one time.

Sage Northcutt

I want Dong Hyun Kim. He's a grappler, he's a strong stand-up fighter, and I think that would be a great fight. I think I beat him every and anywhere.

Kamaru Usman

I know that my grappling is up there with any grappler in the division.

Colby Covington

If I had train someone to fight Anderson Silva that would probably be my biggest challenge yet as far as being prepared for a striker.

Shawn Tompkins

I'm not just a grappler.

Kamaru Usman

I don't classify myself as a wrestler, I'm a grappler.

Michael Chiesa

Style-wise, dos Santos is going to be an excellent fight for me - striker against striker. With my experience, I should have the upper hand.

Alistair Overeem

I'm from a generation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Our battleground was where we learned. It's not like the old generation where they used to train and train and train, and then suddenly an operation would come up, and they'd go on it.

Ant Middleton

Another train will come. Why rush? Why worry? Why go crazy? Another train will come. And sure enough, another train going my way was pulling into the station. My bad mood evaporated. I entered the car smiling, certain that there would be more missed trains in my life, more closed doors in my face, but there would always be another train rumbling down the tracks in my direction.

Esmeralda Santiago

Maybe that's the problem. But whether they've heard it of not. The issue is the train that is going off the cliff. After we save the country, after we keep the train from going off the cliff, I would welcome, quite frankly, a discussion of morality in this country. I think it would be a wonderful thing if we bring back our Judeo-Christian values once again. I think it could do nothing but help us. I would be all in favor of that.

Benjamin Carson

I've always been a good submission grappler, but I've still evolved, upped my skills and I continue to get better every day.

Diego Sanchez

Yes, I came into this sport as just a grappler, but the more I learn, the more it shines in my fights.

Kamaru Usman

I've always been noted for being original and doing different thing. So for me to hop on the train that's going on would be - shoot, if I wanted to hop on the train, I might as well have hopped on gangsta rap back when it was popular and tried to do that.

Will Ferrell

As a striker, you are playing against big defenders. They try to throw you around. I try to play in behind them, and I need power. I know that I have to go to the gym and train. I train all the time.
