We will be bringing you 5 championship rounds of the best mma quotes on the internet. We searched the the top mma news sites, mma forums, and recent events to bring you some of the best quotes from some of MMA’s top fighters. In round one we brought you some shocking quotes to say the least. Round two’s quotes were a little more serious. Round three’s quotes are a little mix of everything but most of them involve fighters calling out other fighters. All in all I think you will find some of them interesting to say the least. |

1. Apparently Pete Sell was not too happy with way George St. Pierre handled himself after losing to teammate Matt Serra. Sell had some less than flattering words to say about St. Pierre in a recent interview with FightTicker.com.
2. Chuck Liddell recently had some choice words to say about Kimbo Slice’s recent success in the world of MMA or should I say recent increase in popularity.
3. My friend Ben Zeidler’s website IrishWhipFighting.com which is now MMAmadness.com interviewed Randy and Kim Couture a while back at the Xtreme Couture Gym in Las Vegas. When asked her opinion on Kimbo Slice, Kim Couture had something very interesting to say about the "street fighting legend". The story has never been confirmed.
4. Apparently things heated up a little on this seasons taping of "The Ultimate Fighter" between Quinton Jackson and Forrest Griffin. When asked about his future opponent, "Rampage" Jackson had this to say about Griffin. Apparently the story of Forrest knocking out Jackson didn’t sit well with the werewolf. This little nugget is thanks to InOutStar.com.
5. A lot of MMA website’s including us here at RedSweat.com believe that Anderson Silva is pound for pound the best fighter in the world. Believe it or not, Frank Shamrock doesn’t feel that is the case. Wait a second, Frank Shamrock being cocky? In an interview with the Canadian Press, Frank stated who he thinks is the best pound for pound fighter in the world.
6. Brothers Nick and Nate Diaz are never short on words when it comes to mixed martial arts and their fights. The younger of the two, Nate Diaz recently submitted Kurt Pellegrino at UFC Fight Night 13" and had some comments for UFC lightweight Tyson Griffin.
7. Former UFC welterweight champ Matt Hughes recently claimed on his blog that he would be moving up in weight to fight Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at 205lbs in June. He stated that he thought it would be a good match up for him and that if he won he would ask Dana for a shot at the 205lb title next. The next day on April 2, he said this.
8. In a recent interview with MMAmadness.com, Frank Shamrock made some statements regarding the use of steroids in MMA. More specifically he took a shot at his brother claiming that Ken Shamrock has used steroids his whole life. He also stated claimed that a percentage of fighters are allegedly using the substance. His brother Ken was obviously unhappy with Frank’s claim and had this to say in retaliation.
9. Joe Rogan had a chance to interview Forrest Griffin in between bouts at UFC Fight Night 13 last Wednesday, April 2. The always funny, Forrest Griffin said this in response to something Rampage said during season 8 of "The Ultimate Fighter". Even Jackson couldn’t hold back his smile after Griffin’s remark.
10. BJ Penn’s feelings on his upcoming fight against "The Muscle Shark" Sean Sherk were summed up in 4 short words in his in-octagon interview with Joe Rogan during UFC 80. Penn’s remark didn’t sit well with Sherk who immediately left his commentators seat to join Penn inside the octagon.

Here goes "Round 2" of RedSweat.com’s mma quotes feature. Just to catch you up a little bit, we are going to have a five round championship war of the quotes. We kicked off "Round 1" about a month ago and we will be doing a round a month until "Round 5" wraps things up. We scoured the net looking for the most interesting quotes that we could find from some of your favorite fighters. "Round 1" quotes were off the wall and shocking. This round’s quotes are a little more serious. 1. Yushin Okami was impressed by Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira’s performance at UFC 81. Apparently he was not impressed with Tim Sylvia’s will to survive when he got caught in the jiu-jitsu experts guillotine choke. He seems to believe Americans are quick to tap. |

2. Randy Couture and Dana White are still battling it out outside of the world famous octagon and neither is happy about the situation. To make things worse for Couture the UFC recently banned Couture’s Affliction clothing line from the UFC. Captain America said this in a recent interview.
3. Tim Sylvia has received a lot of criticism for what some believe is his lack of aggression in the ring. Many thought that Sylvia was just trying to get the win and not trying to finish his fights. He definitely earned some respect in his fight with Minotauro at UFC 81. Apparently his fight with Nogueira did nothing to sway Jerome Le Banner into changing his mind about Sylvia’s motives in the cage.
4. Frank Shamrock can be a little flagrant at times to put it mildly. He is definitely not afraid to say what he is really feeling. Apparently Jake Shields isn’t either and said this about the former UFC champion.
5. It’s no secret that Tito Ortiz and Dana White would like to kill each other in their sleep. Tito has voiced his opinion several times on the issue of the UFC not paying it’s fighters enough money. Ortiz recently made an appearance on the Howard Stern show and said this about his arch enemy.
6. Steve Mazzagatti had the tough job of being the ref for the Brock Lesnar versus Frank Mir fight. There was some controversy surrounding Mazzagatti’s point deduction during the fight. A lot of people thought that he did not give Lesnar a warning before deducting the point. He recently cleared things up in an interview with MMAjunkie.com.
7. Recently GoWamma.com came out with the first regulated mma rankings system in the sport. Previous rankings were thought to be biased and had no clear cut equation to rank fighters. Dana White spoke on this topic at the UFC 83 press conference in Montreal.
8. Matt Serra will be taking on phenom Georges St. Pierre for the welterweight championship at upcoming UFC 83 in Canada. Here is a quote from Matt Serra during the press conference in Montreal promoting his upcoming fight.
9. After defeating Tim Sylvia at UFC 81, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira became the first person ever to own a UFC and Pride Championship belt simultaneously. The submission master said this in a post fight interview.
10. Brock Lesnar was defeated by Frank Mir in his UFC debut in only 90 seconds. There was some controversy about the ref stopping the fight to deduct a point from Brock. Brock had this to say immediately following the fight in his locker room.

10. The mma world was shocked when Randy Couture resigned from the UFC. Couture however does want one more fight before he considers his career over. Dana White had this to say after Randy’s resignation.
Last but not least I will leave you with my personal favorite quote.
