The genius' behind the new Rocky movie decided to call it Rocky Balboa so that we'll probably forget that it's number six. Or Rocky Balboa can't count past five.

Doug Benson

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

I accept MMA, I appreciate MMA, I even get techniques from MMA, surprisingly, like footwork techniques and how I move. It's different and unorthodox to what boxers are normally used to.

Daniel Jacobs

In Philadelphia, there's no delineation, they address me as Rocky, for real. They'll say things like: "Rocky, do you like this coat?" Or: "Rock, say hi to my sister." Or: "Yo Rock, I know a great restaurant." There's no Sylvester. Even the Mayor goes: "It's good to have Rocky here today."

Sylvester Stallone

There's a reason why MMA is only three five-minute rounds, or five fives when it's a title fight. MMA is so much more demanding on the body - the wrestling, the changing levels, all that takes a lot out of you. Boxing is a breeze for us after MMA.

Artem Lobov

I am a fan of the 'Rocky' films, and 'Rocky 4' is my favourite. I also like 'The Warriors.'

Virat Kohli

More money has been lost trying to imitate 'Rocky' than 'Rocky' has made.

Irwin Winkler

The character of Rocky was built on the idea that he was chosen to do something. That's why the first image in Rocky is the picture of Christ.

Sylvester Stallone

I worked with Rocky Graziano and Rocky was certainly a character.

Dick Schaap

Training and working in Philadelphia is a very unusual situation because that city does believe that Rocky is real. No one calls me Sylvester, it's Rocky.

Sylvester Stallone

'Rocky' and 'Rocky III' were the best.

Mr. T

I have all kinds of chest injuries; I tore my vein during 'Rocky II' and had 60 stitches. If you've seen 'Rocky Balboa,' you'll know how bad they look.

Sylvester Stallone

For a lot of MMA fans, especially in the UFC, they didn't know who I was... unless you're really involved in women's MMA.
