G.O.A.T.
"Greatest Of All Time" The GOAT is the best to ever do it. MMA fans debate over who is the GOAT. Common nominations include Jon Jones, Khabib Nurmagomedov and George St. Pierre. Fighters can also be a divisional GOAT, for example, Dominick Cruz is the men's bantamweight GOAT. Jokingly, Artem Lobov and other mediocre fighters are sometimes referred to as the GOAT.
UFC Fighters "Reveal" their MMA GOAT.....
WHY ARTEM LOBOV IS THE GOAT?
Weaponizing Pace
To fight at a faster pace than your opponent can maintain, tiring them out. Nick Diaz is a fighter known to weaponize pace. His training involved lots of cardio, so he was able to have higher output than his opponents during fights, often successfully tiring them out and overcoming them.
"Poirier has never been given credit for his ability to weaponize pace. Dustin's former opponents will talk about how hard and in your face Poirier is." - Chael Sonnen
Who da fook is that guy?
"Who da fook is that guy?" is a line Conor McGregor said at the press conference for UFC 205. He said after Jeremy Stephens interrupted him. "Who da fook is that guy?" can be used to belittle or dismiss someone comically.
Reporter: Conor, who do you think would give you the hardest fight out of anyone on stage? Jeremy Stephens: Right Here! The real hardest hitting 145 pounder. This guy TKOs people, when I knock people out they don't fucking move! Conor McGregor: Who da fook is that guy?
Conor McGregor Who the fuck is that guy?!
Number One Bullshit
Originally popularized by UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, "Number One Bullshit" is something he would say to express dislike, disdain or disapproval for a person or situation.
Khabib Nurmagomedov (on Conor McGregor getting a lightweight title shot before he did): "This is number one bullshit."
Khabib Nurmagomedov This Is Number 1 Bullsh!t
Can
A fighter who who is not very good, and puts up about as much fight as a tin can.
"His has seven wins, but they were all against cans. Tonight he will face his first real opponent."
Horsemeat
Alistair Overeem ate horsemeat as part of his diet while he was a UFC fighter. Fans speculate this is why Overeem had such a massive physique.
"I eat 6, 7, maybe 8 times a day. I like beef, beef is good for strength. Cow beef, horse beef, I like fish. Horse is a very good protein, better than beef." - Alistair Overeem

Is normal
Anderson Silva, a Brazillian who speaks English as a second language, says "Is Normal" a lot where an English speaker might say "Fine". For example, when asked how he feels during fight week, he responds "is normal."
Reporter: "How do you feel about (fighting) Chris Weidman? Did you maybe underestimate him the first time?" Anderson Silva: "Is normal. Is normal. Come on guys... Is normal. He don't have nothing. Normal. He got two legs, two arms...normal!"
