A Quote by Tommy Morrison

The fights I've learned the most were always the fights I lost. — © Tommy Morrison
The fights I've learned the most were always the fights I lost.
I had 33 kickboxing fights, 37 MMA fights, plus 44 amateur boxing fights, which most of them were international. I will keep fighting as long as I feel good, but I will repeat once more, any fight could be the last one.
Remember this well. There are two kind of fights. As long as we place ourselves in battle, we must always know the difference: fights to defend life... and fights to defend pride.
I just want fights like that. Fights that get me excited. Fights that are going to be exciting.
I don't watch a lot of featherweight fights yet some of those fights are the best fights ever.
These kinds of fights, these big fights that get everyone talking and interested, these are the fights I want.
For the most part, everybody who fights in war fights to survive.
Anybody in Britain, the big fights. I'm here for the big fights. I don't care about the little fights any more.
I've learned from my mistakes in the past, why I thought I've lost fights before.
I started very young... I learned my martial arts first in the street. There were always fights. That's the culture in Brazil.
I had to fight those type of fights which were high risk, low reward and at the start, I never could get the fights I really wanted.
If the fights that I take make sense, and there is not a 27-year-old number one contender in the world, then I'll probably be interested in doing fights that make sense and fights that are marketable.
In a democracy, hostage tactics are the last resort for those who can’t otherwise win their fights through elections, can’t win their fights in Congress, can’t win their fights for the Presidency, and can’t win their fights in Courts. For this right-wing minority, hostage-taking is all they have left – a last gasp of those who cannot cope with the realities of our democracy.
Saying that fights in Japan were fixed and that me, along with other guys like Silva, Minotauro, etc., did not win those fights legitimately is an ultimate and absurd nonsense.
The guys I lost to always challenged the title, because they were, like, title eliminators. I lost to Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Johnson and they fought for the belt. Then I won fights against really tough guys.
It's great to be boxing a local boxer. The atmosphere is always fantastic. I love those fights. I really relish those fights.
I think a lot of people miss what I've done in the MMA world. How I was able to market and control the industry so that people wanted to watch my fights. If you look at the fights I've been involved in - in the SEG UFC, in Japan, for Zuffa and today, they have been fights that have turned companies around.
