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.
Mario Yamasaki's Last UFC Appearance
He tried to feed a bus a carrot.
Chael Sonnen makes fun of the Brazillian Nogueira brothers. Sonnen claims the Nogiera brothers, new to America, had never seen a bus before and thought it was a horse, and thus tried to feed a carrot. The story has remained a favorite in MMA fandom.
"I was in Las Vegas when the Nogueira brothers first touched down in America. There was a bus that pulled up to a red light and Little Nog tried to feed it a carrot while Big Nog was petting it. He thought it was a horse. This really happened." - Chael Sonnen

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."
