Red Panty Night
During the UFC "Go Big" press conference, when RDA and Cerrone were asked if they would fight Conor McGregor instead of each other, Conor retorts with "I change your bum life... it's a celebration... you call your wife, 'We're rich baby, break out the red panties...' It's red panty night when you fight me!" When other fighters take on Conor McGregor, it is usually a big earning opportunity for them, so "Red Panty Night" is considered a real thing. The phrase can be used in other contexts such as any time something really good happens, especially involving money.
1. Dude, I got a raise today, so looks like it's red panty night at my house tonight. 2. I won $100 dollars on my lottery ticket! Woohoo! Red Panty Night!

Salon Quality Poirier
Early in Dustin Poirier's career his hair was in a buzzcut, but at some point he grew his hair a bit and added a little bit of style, saying that one advantage he has over his opponents is that his hair is "Salon Quality". UFC fans believe Poirier has performed better since receiving his new haircut, and have nicknamed the new iteration of Dustin "Salon Quality Poirier".
Dustin Poirier: "I'm a better boxer, I can scramble better, better Jui Jitsu, longer, faster, I can dance better, better looking, my hair is salon quality."

Basically Clean
Chael Sonnen, a former UFC and Bellator fighter, once described his body as "Basically Clean" of performance enhancing substances. He went on to say "it depends on your definition of clean". Since retiring, Sonnen has since admitted to using PEDs while competing as an MMA fighter.
"Ariel, look at the size of that arm! (points to his own bicep.) That's Clean! That's off the juice! That's basically clean. It depends on your definition of clean." - Chael Sonnen in conversation with Ariel Helwani.

Swanging and Banging
A brawling fight exchange of heavy punches, but poor technique. Usually exciting for fans. May increase chances of a knockout.

Sea Level Cain
Sea Level Cain is Cain Velasquez at his best - at sea level. Cain Velasquez is known for having great cardio, but when he fought in Mexico City, which is at very high altitude, he gassed out early and lost to Fabricio Werdum. People think it must have been the altitude, so Sea Level Cain is born.
My Balls Was Hot

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
