“They are ugly; mine were ugly. I don't like them,” O'Malley said on YouTube. “They're not pink, which is fine, whatever, I've worn other colors... Did they go on Fiverr and say, 'Hey, we got these guys getting to fight at the White House lawn. Can you just come up with something?'”
“I have watching and looking up posts of who people think I should fight,” Erceg told heavywgtMMA. “Two that were brought up were Amir Albazi and Brandon Royval. I think they are both coming off losses but they are ranked ahead of me. So I think it would be a good time to meet either one of them. They are obviously two very different fighters. Meet up and let's have a crash.”
“We’re in a great place with Conor,” White remarked. “I’m extremely confident that Conor will fight this year. I’m extremely confident that we’ll get him dialed in and ready to roll. He’s training, there’s footage out there of him in training right now.”
Sean is truly a piece of shit... He showed up on our doorstep, and he was just a loud idiot. He was trying to beat up kids who were helping him and trying to knock them out consistently after he already hurt them. He's just not one of those guys I like to be around, and he's just not a good person.
"I still wanna whip Nate's a**... I'll come back to fight him... The UFC knew I was going to fight Nate in our first matchup in Madison Square Garden... I said listen, 'If it's not Nate, I'm not fighting. I'm going to have my hip taken care of. If it's Nate, I'll fight.'... And then Nate used that -- like I was the fall guy, like the fight's off because I pulled out. But I never pulled out. I just didn't want to fight anybody else but Nate."
"I won't say too many details, something with the medicals to where we found out on Thursday that the fight might not happen. So it was a lot up in the air for the next two days if this fight was even going to happen, and ultimately, Saturday night, right before I left for the fight, is when I found out I was still fighting. It was hard to stay fully locked in. But that was my fault..."
"It's the first time I've listened to my coaches is probably about six fights. And that's the result. Against Brando, I lost my composure, didn't listen to the corner. My corner's like, 'Look, we know you can brawl, you're an MMA fighter, in the gym day in day out.' I can do it all. It's just taken me 16 pro fights to show it."
"This is what I imagined coming into the UFC. With all the respect to the prelims and early prelims, I've never seen myself as the first fight in the card. I knew the way I fight, it's exciting, it's entertaining. With the bonus on the line, there's a prize. I train so hard, if there's this much to take, I'm not gonna be happy with just a little bit."
