A Quote by Stephen Thompson

I do respect everybody who I step in the Octagon with. — © Stephen Thompson
I do respect everybody who I step in the Octagon with.
I fight for the women. I try to do my best inside the Octagon to fight like a man; then, people will respect girls in the Octagon.
To be honest, any one of those guys that I've stepped in the Octagon with - Darren Till, Anthony Pettis, Tyron Woodley - I would love to step back in the Octagon with those guys.
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.
We are very proud to step in the Octagon.
I will never step foot in the Octagon
Everybody I step in the cage against I have the utmost respect for.
I like to step into the Octagon and just show what I'm made of.
Every time I step in the Octagon, I always try to finish.
We were always told we were one step behind Deep Purple, one step behind Led Zeppelin, one step behind everybody. Our manager didn't want to let us know how popular we were. It's only after we did Ozzfest that people started telling me stuff. I thought they were taking the piss. People would come up to me and go, "Respect."
Before I step in the Octagon, I pray one last time and take a huge deep breath, and then I'm home.
I started this fight career with one objective. When I step inside a ring or an octagon, it is to beat the guy in front of me.
I have a taekwondo background, but I also try to invent new moves and make sure that when I step into the Octagon, I'm a different fighter.
I think the biggest thing for everybody in this league is the respect of their peers. A lot of the things we do, the way we compete, is for everybody in this league to respect as good players. Whether GMs see it or not or people on the outside, we want the respect of players.
Like, I get along with everybody. I respect everybody, but at the same time, I carry myself with an aura that demands respect, too.
I respect myself and insist upon it from everybody. And because I do it, I then respect everybody, too.
I'm just going to go out there, pop on my leather gloves, and constantly make connections outside the Octagon, and that will make me bigger in the Octagon.
