Anthony Johnson had plenty to say in response to Bellator champion Ben Askren's comments (Scott McKinley/MMADieHards.com)
“Stop the fight you (expletive) idiot.”
- Jens Pulver screaming at a referee from the commentating booth during XFO 39.
“I got a little upset about this change, but I’m happy that the UFC got another opponent for me.”
- Junior Dos Santos tells Sherdog about his displeasure when hearing Brock Lesnar would not be his opponent at UFC 131.
“If I’m lying, I’m dying! Ask @jonnybones when is his surgery & who was his dr! He so fake, he fake surgeries!! Now that’s fake!”
- Rashad Evans’ tweet claims that Jon Jones faked an injury to avoid facing his former training partner.
“I definitely, 100-percent feel that I have the best hands in the lightweight division.”
- Eddie Alvarez is confident in his hands and not afraid to flaunt that.
“I’ll kick Ben in the face, quick. All I know is that he is some bushy head kid. If he needs to say things to get attention, that’s fine. Who does he fight for? Bellator, that’s why.”
- UFC welterweight Anthony Johnson addresses Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren’s comments directed towards Johnson about not making weight and being a coward.
“I have more respect for ‘Rampage’ [Jackson] than I do for Jon (Jones).”
- Evans explains to ESPN that between his two archrivals, “Rampage” gets more respect from him.
“I watch hockey and rugby. Anything that has a remote chance of breaking out into a fight. Which is exactly why I stopped watching George.”
- Chael Sonnen tweets how exciting a Georges St. Pierre fight is.
“I’m out on a date and then I get some retarded comment like, ‘So, are you going to fight Cris Cyborg in the future?’ and I throw up in my mouth a little bit and tell them probably not because we’re in different weight classes. You should probably catch up on your female fighting knowledge if you’re going to date me.”
- Michele Gutierrez tells MMA DieHards how tough it is to find a good date when you are a female fighter.
“I saw there was no gun because the guy was punching, so I was going to go behind him and take his neck, controlling the situation with a choke hold.”
- Pedro Arrigoni recounts his heroic act of helping a police officer in need, to MMA DieHards.
