I'm not one to trash talk my opponents. If the talk is on, then let's go, I'll say the truth - nothing more or less. But it doesn't affect me in my competition.

Alexander Gustafsson

I don't like the trash talking too much. When my opponents say something, for sure I respond, I say something, too. I don't start the trash talk.

Fabricio Werdum

Everybody gets all worked up about trash talk but it is what it is - it's talk... You ask any player, honestly, if trash talk's gonna affect how hard they play, because if a little trash talk affects how hard they can play, it just lets us know that they were holding back or weren't playing harder or as hard as they could.

Jason Babin

Honestly, I don't like trash talk, because we gonna fight anyways, right? We don't need to trash talk.

Amanda Nunes

Draymond's always talking trash, and he's really good at getting you off your game. He's one of the guys that he'll talk trash, even when you're playing golf. He will knock you off your game... But when you see his swing, you're like, 'How do you talk trash so well, and your swing's this bad?'

Andre Iguodala

I talk trash, but the thing is, I talk trash about people I'm actually going to fight, who are actually in my weight class.

I'm not a trash talker. I respect my opponents.

Rafael dos Anjos

Me and Kobe are always going to talk trash and get into it. But when he talks trash to everybody else, some people tend to shy away.

Nick Young

I really want to do everything I can to try to win a game or win on a play. You get fiery; you get chippy out there, but a lot of respect, I never have anybody, like, talk trash in my career in the league, or I don't talk trash. I think guys respect the fact that I'm coming.

Jon Beason

You can't always expect us to trash our opponents.

Thomas Muller

Trash talk can get confused with fight talk.

Austin Rivers

Trash talk? Smack talk? This is an American term that makes me laugh. I simply speak the truth. I'm an Irish man.

Conor McGregor

The task is not to overcome opponents in general but only those opponents against whom one has to summon all one's strength, one's skill and one's swordsmanship-in fact to master opponents who are one's equals.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I'd like to add a third certainty: trash. And while some in this room might want to discuss reducing taxes, I want to talk about reducing trash.
