“I just think Ronda’s so crazy, you guys will see when the show [TUF 18] comes out, that I assume she can’t keep a man around for any period of time so I would imagine she’s probably pretty jealous that both Bryan and I are successful fighting in the UFC and going on 7 years, so she can’t keep him out of her mouth.” Miesha Tate is now sticking up for her man after months of verbal abuse delivered by Ronda Rousey.

Anderson Silva: 'I was out of control' in Weidman fight
BJPENN.COM News - August 8, 2013
“There will always be questions. Fans, people, they want to know what happened. But being knocked out is worse because you can’t remember. There is just a black out. And then when you wake up, you’re like: ‘Uh? What happened? The fight is over?’ And the ref says: ‘Yeah, it’s over and you lost.’ But how? Then the ref says: ‘Yeah, you’re knocked out.’ BUT HOW? The ref then answers: ‘You took a big shot and fell to the mat… Unfortunately, it was a mistake and I paid a high price for it. It was a technical mistake, but it shouldn’t have happened…but happened. The truth is…the charge that people put on me due to my previous performances was tremendous. So…in this way when you make a mistake people just don’t understand. It was an unintentional thing. I’ve never said that I was the best in the world or that I was unbeatable.” “I stood with my legs parallel when I had to do a step back instead to dodge the punch that KO’d me. Anyways, it was a sequence of events that led me to what happened. All the pre-fight tension and that feeling that makes you want to explode during the fight…During the round breaks, I always go back to my corner. But this time, I didn’t come back to my cornermen.

Cormier Believes 'Big Country' His Most Dangerous Opponent Yet
BJPENN.COM News - August 8, 2013
“Roy Nelson is the most dangerous guy I’ve ever fought my entire career. He can knock me out with one punch. I’m fully aware of that. They (Silva, Mir and Barnett) don’t have that one-punch knockout power. Those guys weren’t going to just knock me out. Barnett and Mir could have caught me with a submission. But I knew going into those fights that I could stay out of those positions. With Mir, I knew I could just keep him standing. With Barnett, I know how to grapple; I’ve been grappling my entire life, so I knew I could stay out of submissions. But Roy, man, it takes one punch. And it’s not even just his overhand right. He’s got a nasty uppercut, nice left hook, he’s a good grappler, he can take me down, get on top of me and crucifix me and elbow me like he did everyone on The Ultimate Fighter. There is so many ways I can lose to Roy Nelson that my focus needs to be completely on him.” During yesterday’s episode of ‘The MMA Hour‘ Daniel Cormier went on record to call his upcoming UFC 166 opponent, Roy Nelson, the most dangerous man he’s faced in his short MMA career.
