Just Stand Up
Anytime UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis is on his back with an opponent on top of him, he is often able to just stand up with seeming ease. This has driven comments that he doesn't use or need any BJJ technique, he "just stands up."
Derrick Lewis (In a post fight interview on how he gets up from grappling exchanges): "Shit, I ain't all that technical and all, but shit, I'm getting up. Fuck it."

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.

Touch Butt In The Park
Conor McGregor posted videos of himself doing some atypical training in a park with his 'movement' coach Ido Portal. During a heated press conference for UFC 196, Nate Diaz made fun of this, coining a legendary phrase "Touch Butt In The Park"
Conor McGregor: "Who the hell do you train with? I'd slap the hell off your whole team, including you and your big brother!" Nate Diaz: "Your playing touch-butt with that Dork in the park (with the pony tail). And I'm the one who ain't got no training partners?"

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!"
