Cutting to featherweight took months of intense weight cutting and training. Going to lightweight, I can fight more often.

Dustin Poirier

I wanted to drop the weight class to go to the 125s, and I played it off on how easy it was going to be. 'I can do this, no problem, I always cut weight.' I pushed my body to the extreme.

T.J. Dillashaw

For me there is no reason why to go up in weight class, because when you go up in weight class you have to fight bigger guys - then you have to train against bigger guys. The guys are not better, they're heavier, but it means you have more chance to get hurt.

Georges St-Pierre

You know that every bead of sweat falling off your head, every weight you've pumped - the history of that is all in your eyes.

Gerard Butler

You could argue that [the decline of public schools] is one of the major disasters in our lifetimes. We took one of the greatest successes in the history of the earth and turned it into one of the greatest disasters in the history of the earth.

Charlie Munger

I went and got a Lap-Band put in and the weight just started falling off. It was like someone took a backpack full of rocks off of you.

Corey Harrison

I don't cut weight, so it's no problem for me to fight at lightweight.

Jose Aldo

It's just something that God blessed me with. I've got power, so it really don't matter what weight class I'm in. I'm still going to have the same power as I had at any weight class I'm in.

Adrien Broner

170 is not a popularity contest. 170 is a working man's weight class where you work hard, you get your rewards whereas at lightweight, it wasn't the same. You could work as hard as you want, win as many fights as you want, and there's no promise what you're going to get out of it.

Michael Chiesa

If you set a regimen up, you can lose weight. I grinded my weight off.

Rick Ross

Until I got the weight off, there was something inside of me that said, 'You hate yourself.' You get too depressed over the weight to really work on this. For whatever reason, I had to take the weight off to do this work.

Lisa Lampanelli

I had a healthy curiosity and would try things on - play lots of practical jokes. But it was more in my head - fantasies of "What would happen if...? Like what would happen in class if you took all your clothes off and you ran around the room?

Andy Griffiths

I'm trying to be the best lightweight fighter in the world. That's my main objective. I just have to keep my head up, keep training and enjoy this awesome ride that I'm on.

Michael Chandler

My manager came up with the name 'State of the Industry,' and it was just one of those things. It just took off. Well, I don't know about 'took off.' I'm not in the stratosphere.
