I just don't see where Chris Weidman is going to threaten me. He's a tough guy, but I'm better on my feet, better on the ground. He's not going to threaten me with his wrestling.

Luke Rockhold

For me, I've been known as a very well-rounded fighter, and I think that's really important, that you're well rounded and comfortable in every situation that a fight can go. A lot of people focus on just one discipline, and when they get out of that, they're in a difficult position.

Paige VanZant

I'm very good at submissions from the ground. I have good takedowns and good striking, so I'm pretty well-rounded.

Fallon Fox

I never wanted to be well-rounded. I do not admire well-rounded people nor their work. So far as I can see, nothing good in the world has ever been done by well-rounded people. The good work is done by people with jagged, broken edges, because those edges cut things and leave an imprint, a design.

Harry Crews

I'm not just a wrestler anymore. I'm a very well-rounded fighter.

Colby Covington

Chris Jericho is a great guy. He's beyond hysterical. He's good people. They're really good. Chris wanted me to throw down a solo. He sent it to me and I knocked it out.

Zakk Wylde

I came into this game a wrestler and that was pretty much it. I was tough, I could take a guy down and beat him up. I threw a good overhand right.

Ryan Bader

The knock on [Chris] Christie was always the I guy that he was - I felt inordinately talented politician, a smart and in some ways very capable human being, with a personality given toward authoritarianism and bullying and ethical corner-cutting.

Chris Hayes

I think everyone in all due respect just needs to calm down Chris Weidman just because he’s undefeated. He’s undefeated because he’s beaten a bunch of bums. He’s only had about seven fights. I’ve had nearly 30 fights. I’ve been in the UFC when he was still in school probably. So I got nothing against Chris Weidman, but I don’t see him as the Great White Hope that’s going to come in and destroy Anderson Silva. He’s just another middle of the road UFC fighter as far as I’m concerned.

Michael Bisping

Chris Weidman is a stud.

Matt Serra

I think the smart teams are chasing those well-rounded players, making that well-rounded lineup, having that well-rounded team.

Joey Votto

I was Michael Chandler twice. I had to do his game twice. We've deciphered him, but he's still a very dangerous opponent. He's very strong with the takedowns, his knockout power is violent, but he's not a complete guy. He fights well, has good takedowns and heavy ground and pound, does well on the ground.

Patricio Freire

I love Mike Tyson. I was a fan, as everybody else was. The moment somebody stood up to him, he didn't do so well. And that's the same thing with Anthony Johnson. The guy's a bully. He wants to intimidate you; he wants to dominate you. He wants to knock you out. But what happens when you don't knock somebody out? What happens?

Daniel Cormier

He's a complete fighter. He has some flaws, of course, but he has a good stand up game, good takedowns and a good ground game. He's a complete fighter, and that makes him dangerous. He hits hard, but I believe I can stop him. I believe I can finish this fight earlier. I'm not underestimating him, but I've learned a lot in my past fights. I have learned a lot in my fight against (Chris) Weidman, so it's likely that I will finish this fight before the fifth round. Whatever it takes. I'm training hard on my grappling skills and my striking, so I want to finish him with a knockout or a submission.

I made a good living being a tough guy on TV, but I'd rather laugh and joke all day long than try to be a tough guy.
