I spent some time compiling some of the most interesting, off the wall and controversial quotes from some of mma’s top fighters. Lets just say a few of them weren’t afraid to speak their minds. Here go’s round 1.

1. Kimbo Slice was recently asked by a reporter if Tank Abbott’s vast mma experience was a concern.

"Just because a chick in porn has done 100 movies doesn’t mean I’m not going to f— her. I’m still going to get that p—-!"

2. Gary Shaw, president of EliteXC had this to say about the UFC and it’s fighters referring to the fact that they won’t compete against fighters in other organizations.

“If you hold up the belt (in the UFC) all you are is their club champion,” Shaw said. “Until Dana White is willing to fight his fighters against other brands, all they are are club champions.“

3. Georges St. Pierre’s plans on leaving a lasting legacy on the world of mixed martial arts. It’s good to be confident but three weight classes?

"He wants to leave a legacy," Spenser said. "He wants to be the most dominant fighter the UFC and MMA has ever seen, and he intends to accomplish that by dominating the 170-pound weight class, moving up to the 185 weight class and then eventually the light heavyweight class."

4. One week after the Liddell Silva fight, Wanderlei silva said he had more respect for Liddell than he ever had before.

"He’s good, very, very good," Silva said. "People should realize how good, how strong Chuck is. I knew he was good, but he’s better than I thought. He’s big. These guys in the UFC, they’re all so big."

5. Melvin Guillard tells Pramit Mohapatra in an interview with the Baltimore Sun that the beef between him and Clementi at UFC 79 is far from over and that he plans to fight Rich again next time he sees him.

My dad always told me if a man spit on you or slapped you, [expletive deleted] kill him. And if he put his nuts on my head on national TV, I’m going to [expletive deleted] kill him, period.

6. Former heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia was not to happy about Fedor Emelianenko joining M-1 Global instead of the UFC and had this to say about "The Last Emperor".

“I think he’s being a (expletive),”

7. BJ Penn has been blunt to say the least about his feelings on other UFC competition. He had this to say about Hughes vs St. Pierre 3.

"I thought Matt Hughes fought like a pussy. I think he was scared and he let Georges take him down all night long. He was so scared to stand. I think he was still scarred from that knockout a year ago and he didn’t fight."

8. UFC President Dana White talks about the global appeal of mixed martial arts and the ability to market the UFC in other countries successfully.

“I take two guys and put them in the Octagon and they can use any martial art they want. It translates through all different cultural barriers, language barriers… people love fighting.”

9. This is a quote from Matt Hughes new book "Made in America" in which he relays a story told to him by Pat Miletich about the legendary fight between Tito Ortiz and Lee Murray.

“Both their jackets come off, and Tito throws a left hook at Lee Murray and misses, and right as he missed, Lee Murray counters with, like, a five-punch combo, landed right on the chin, and knocked Tito out. OUT."

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.

"I talked to Randy several weeks ago and he said that if he couldn’t fight Fedor, then he has nothing left to prove in the sport of mixed martial arts."

Last but not least I will leave you with my personal favorite quote.

"Pain is just opinion."
