The sport wouldn't be what it is without the fans, and at UFC 189, watching the Irish fans screaming 'Ole Ole Ole' was pretty amazing.

I know MMA isn't for everyone. It is a combat sport; some people don't like watching it, but it is entertainment for some people.
When people first started watching UFC, it seemed like a no-holds barred event... early on it looked like all the fighters were crazy. Actually, there are a lot of techniques, and the reality shows have let people see the fighters behind the scenes.
I've been to fights, and I've seen them on television, but no, I would not call myself a fan of the sport, that particular sport, no.
I have fought all over the world, and I am excited to be in 'EA Sports MMA' because this game is going to show the global appeal of mixed martial arts.
There wasn't much money in this sport when I started, but I didn't get into it because of money. I loved to fight, and I loved MMA.
To make it in boxing, you must captivate the fans in America, too.
I love watching 'UFC' - Ultimate Fighting Championship - I don't know why, because I'm more of a coward than a fighter, but I seem to be very drawn to these blokes actually smashing each other to bits.
I'd had 35 professional fights and mentally I was tired of it. I'd sort ot fallen out of love with the sport.
Whoever has lost a fight in the UFC and hasn't wanted to fight that guy the next day shouldn't be in the sport.
I'm more into MMA than any other sport. I watch a lot of the UFC fights. I have since it first came onto the scene.
