I am always in the gym sparring. I look at every fight kind of like a sparring match.

Chris Weidman

I ruptured my bicep tendon in a sparring session.

Jimi Manuwa

I could be sparring mates and you're meant to hit 'em, but we'll be sparring and usually I try and stop at the face, or I don't really try and follow through, but sometimes they walk into them and I say 'oh sorry mate.' They get angry and say 'we're sparring get into it,' but I dunno, I think I'm so used to saying sorry.

Alexander Volkanovski

For me, it's very hard to train too much, just sparring, sparring, sparring. It's boring.

Gennady Golovkin

Sparring is probably the best cardio, but strength training is the best way to prevent the kind of injuries that come from roadwork and sparring.

Mojo Rawley

Now I am training with sparring partners who are nice people, sure, but not my friends. These are sparring partners who want to knock me out in sparring. In the Croatian media, they said it was 'life and death' sparring - it was not quite life and death, but it was all-out fighting, very hard.

Mirko Cro Cop

I was invited to have a private sparring session with Royce Gracie. This was 1992, a year before the first UFC. It was just me and him in a room on the mat.

Bruce Buffer

I sometimes look on YouTube and see people label videos 'Anthony Yarde sparring his trainer Ade' but that is not sparring, that's just practice. We practice getting attacked, countering and attacking your opponent back, in intelligent ways.

Anthony Yarde

At Grudge, we just push each other. Whether it's sparring five rounds or rolling and doing drills, I do most of my cardio at practice. As far as running outside or riding a bike? That's not fighting, so I only do things that are going to help me in the Octagon.

Brendan Schaub

I got to share the Octagon with Clay Guida. I got to share the Octagon with Cub Swanson. Now I'm going to share the Octagon with Frankie Edgar. These are things that, as a fighter, you always dream of.

Brian Ortega

I had the greatest sparring partners, I had the greatest sparring team. And these guys they wrapped me up a lot. I never got the chance to get off on them.

Michael Spinks

Good cardio helps in any athletic practice, but in jujitsu, it has been very helpful late in a sparring session where a long roll starts to take its toll on your cardio.

Andy Lally

An example of my average week would be the gym on Monday; Tuesday will be a technical session. I practice running and high jump on Thursday and then have another technical session at the weekend.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

A photographic session is a joint, interpersonal exchange, a kind of creative encounter session at a high level of intensity. For me, photography is more a process of creating an experience than one of looking for pictures.
