Best UFC Quotations

There’s never any telling what the fighters of the UFC will say next.
Fighters sometimes say the darndest things. It is whether they’re talking badly about an upcoming opponent, making excuses for a loss, or just waxing philosophic on a random topic. 
For this week, I have collected as many great UFC quotes as possible. They range from the bizarre to the hilarious, but each is guaranteed to make you look at the world of MMA in a whole new way.
If you know more of great UFC quotes that aren’t included on here, please feel free to give me a comment and let me know about it. I pick Royce Gracie's quote as my favorite quote. “A black belt only covers two inches of your ass. You have to cover the rest.”
