UFC on FUEL TV: Sanchez vs. Ellenberger
Garza is only one fight in the red among a trio of UFC appearances, but no less eager to get back in the win column. Most recently, he was submitted by red-hot prospect Dustin Poirer at UFC on FOX, which muted spectacular wins over Yves Jabouin (by...
He'll have to get through Lauzon first, however. Will Lauzon earn a win bonus on top of a fight night bonus? Can Pettis put on a show and become a potential title challenger with a big win? What's the key to victory for both men next Saturday night? ...
Southern is philosophical about his own involvement. "What will be, will be," he says, though this is less an invocation of the old Cup anthem than the reflection of a man who has learnt not to take anything for granted. My Other Life I love boxing and...

If I win the fight, I should get a shot at the UFC light heavyweight title I held once before, but I’m not even thinking about that ... For me, this fight in Chicago is the biggest fight of my career. To main event a massive show like this on national television is a huge honor and easily the biggest op...

It’s a little comforting to know that he got the call after me ... He knew that the UFC was looking at him, but he didn’t know he was going to be fighting on the 20th either. I know he cuts a little bit more weight than me, but I won’t count that as a disadvantage for him necessarily because we’re both ...
It was crazy ... I’m at work and I got a call from my manager, which I couldn’t take at the time because I was on the sales floor. Then he sent me a text that said ‘Urgent!’ so I stepped off the floor and gave him a call back. When he said, ‘You’re going to be fighting for the UFC,’ it kind of leveled m...
But when the UFC calls, you can’t really tell them, ‘Hey, wait until I get back on weight!’
Yeah it was for medical reason and I did what the UFC Dr Told me to do. Believe it or don’t I give a f**k cuz the ppl close to me were freaking out but I’m still alive and something like this has never happen before. Say what you want I’m still gonna do my thang. You try not having feeling in your legs ...
According to NPD, for the month of December and the 2011 year, THQ was the number five publisher overall, number four third party, with reported sell-through growing over 18 percent in a market that was down almost 6 percent. And coming up next, we have two great titles for the first half of the year in...
The UFC has guys that technically they lose money on; that they’re paying $10-$15,000 to fight that nobody’s really watching. Nobody bought the PPV to see that guy, maybe like 300 people in his hometown if he’s lucky. But they’re paying that guy to get better, to keep fighting, because maybe he’ll catch...
These guys that are just starting off in the UFC and they’re starting off with whatever number they’re starting off with, they have a good night and the next thing you know they’re getting a sick pay day ... And that opportunity is for a guy that’s been with them, like myself, for ten years or a guy tha...
They’re putting an investment in all their guys, all of us. The UFC wants you to succeed ... The more any fighter succeeds, they succeed. I mean even guys that aren’t making a fortune are making enough to where they don’t have another job and they can concentrate on getting better as a fighter so they c...
I made substantially more in one year with the UFC than I would have working 15 years in law enforcement.
I know I get a little fired up about this stuff, I need to calm down, but people don’t realize ESPN doesn’t care about this sport; ESPN hates this sport ... They won’t even cover it. They don’t cover the sport. They don’t do the great stories about this brand and the sport that should be done. They don’...
I hope this win proved to the UFC that I'm ready for the main card. I felt like a complete fighter in there tonight.
UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit.
I talked to him (Neer) once in New Jersey before one of the UFC (events) ... That was pretty much it. It was kind of always in the back of my mind that we'd cross paths one day inside the cage. And come the 20th, it will be that time.
The UFC are my brothers ... They're my family. That means more to me than having some government-employee man in a suit tell me what I have and what I don't have. It's definitely cool to have the fastest knockout credited to me. I'm like a certified ninja.
The UFC pay some fighters too little, but we [espn] are involved with a boxing promoter who pays some fighters as little as $275
I love taking the UFC to new markets. I can't wait to get to Stockholm in April because we're going to put on a great event!

The fight capital of the world for the UFC
UFC is not in the same business, and isn’t competition
I want to be an on-air personality for the UFC. There I said it. As I teeter on the brink of retirement I realize more and more how much I want to stay involved with the sport that's given me everything in my life
It’s a privilege and an honor to be asked to coach ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ ... It shows the UFC holds you in high regard. I did enjoy it. There were times, because it’s a lot of work and a long process, when it gets you down just like anything. But it was all worthwhile.
Here are the facts: While I’ve been fighting the crème de la crème of fighting talent in the world over the last six years in the UFC, he’s been flying around the world fighting washed-up bums and not doing a very good job of it
Sixteen fighters living in a house trying to win a six-figure UFC contract and I was like, 'There you go. That's the idea.'
