Here is round 3 of RedSweat.com’s MMA Quotes feature. Be sure to check out Round 1 and Round 2 if you haven’t already.

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.

mma quotes round 3

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.

"GSP is an awesome athlete, He has all the tools to dominate, but he is a mental midget. His mentality is very weak."

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.

Kimbo’s one of those guys who doesn’t have any ground game. He’s training and he’s learning but he’s been built up as such a big star and that’s the thing that bothers me. People talk about him like he’s the next great thing when he really hasn’t done anything. He’s been built up because of the Internet and him beating a bunch of guys on the street.”

Liddell joked: “I could make some impressive knockout videos too if you let me walk outside and just punch people and knock them out – “hey you, come fight!”

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.

"Also, the funniest thing she said was when I asked her opinion on Kimbo, she said at first she was a bit skeptical, but he came in one day to their gym in Vegas and showed he had a very tough heart and trained hard. Also, him and Forrest sparred and he was KO’d by Forrest and he never came back again!"

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.

"I like Forrest, but I ain’t got to talk sweet to him and hug up on him every time I see him. I know Forrest gets knocked out at practice sometimes; I know Jardine knocked him out real quick and I know my boy ‘Sick Dog’ almost knocked him out and he wasn’t really even punching. He had Forrest wobbly." Rampage continues on a different occasion, "Forrest has a glass jaw and punches like a crackhead".

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.

“I think he’s probably one of the best guys in the UFC, but all the best fighters are not in the UFC. So hopefully he can hang onto that and make something out of it and gain some fame. But I have 100 percent confidence if I ran into him, they’d be calling me that guy.”

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.

"That guy doesn’t want to fight me because he thinks he’s somewhere higher up than me? I just beat a guy that’s better than him. When was the last time he finished a fight anyway’s against any 155 pounder that was half decent on the ground..oh yeah never."

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.

"I guess I can officially say, “April Fools!” The part of yesterday’s blog about me moving up to 205 to fight Shogun Rua was just an April Fool’s joke. Sorry to disappoint those of you who might have been looking forward to that."

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.

"For Frank to state that a majority of fighters use steroids and that the promoters do not care, or that they somehow condone the use of steroids, is unbelievably irresponsible." He later said "I have been subjected to mandatory steroid testing countless times, and I have never tested positive for steroids, nor have I ever refused a test."

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.

"Quinton said some bad things about me. He said he was gonna beat me up which is natural and he said I’m the kind of guy that when I wipe I don’t quite get it all. Well I gotta tell you, he’s only half right and I’m not gonna tell you which."

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.

"Sean Sherk, you’re dead."

Does anyone know who said the quote “Pain is just an opinion?”
