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?
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

Letting Him Be A Warrior
When a MMA referee allows a fight to go on while one fighter is being beaten badly, fans say the ref is letting the fighter be a warrior. The idea is that although a fighter is being dominated they are fighting on, which makes them "a warrior", while many fans believe the ref should step in a stop the fight. The phrase originated referee Mario Yamasaki was asked about why it took so long for him to stop a one-sided beating between Valentina Shevchenko and Priscila Cachoeira, he said he was "letting her be a warrior."
Dude, the fight is a one-sided beating, the ref should stop the fight. No, he's just letting her be a warrior.

Pound For Pound
Pound for pound is a ranking used in MMA of who the better fighters are irrespective of their weight, i.e. adjusted to compensate for weight class. As these fighters do not compete directly, judging the best fighter pound for pound is subjective, and ratings vary. In the UFC, there are official pound-for-pound rankings although debate around them is fierce. Abbreviated as "P4P"
"Adesanya would beat Mighty Mouse, but only because he's bigger. Pound for pound, mighty mouse is a way better fighter."

Swanging and Banging
A brawling fight exchange of heavy punches, but poor technique. Usually exciting for fans. May increase chances of a knockout.
Derrick Lewis (after a long hard win over Roy Nelson): "I don't care how tired I get, I'm just gonna keep on swangin and bangin."

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."
Immigrant Mentality
Comedian Joey Diaz loves UFC Fighter Stipe Miocic because of Miocic's hard work ethic, or 'immigrant mentality' as Diaz says.
Joey Diaz: "Miocic is crazy. I love that Motherfucker. He's got that immigrant mentality." Joe Rogan: "He was born in America." Joey Diaz: "Yeah, whatever the fuck he is. He's got that crazy blood in him."
