Bangkok Ready
Bangkok Ready means to be good at Muay Thai. Bangkok Thailand is the home of the martial art Muay Thai (Thai Kickboxing), and some of the best fighters in the world. To be "Bangkok Ready" is to be at such a high level of Muay Thai that you could go to Bangkok and compete with the best in the world. The phrase was made popular when Eddie Bravo told a story to Joe Rogan about an MMA fighter Gerald Strebendt who knew BJJ but then tried to master Muay Thai.
Eddie Bravo (on why he though Gerald Strebendt should try to use rappling instead of striking): "Because 6 months (of Muay Thai training)... I know he thinks he's Bangkok ready, but that's (only) 6 months (of training)."

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.
"Basically Clean." - Chael Sonnen

Uneducated Fool
"Uneducated Fool" is an insult said by Georges St-Pierre to his opponent Nick Diaz in the build up to their UFC 158 championship bout. GSP, who is a native French speaker speaking English as a second language, often says things that anglophones find humorous because his attempted insults are softened in translation. For more Awkward GSP insults, see "I'm not impressed with your performance."
Nick Diaz: "If I had that much money I'd be fucking pampering myself the fuck up! I'd be having fucking bitches pampering my shit left and fucking right!" Georges St-Pierre: "Let me tell you something you uneducated fool. I have not always been rich. I started from the bottom. I make myself. I worked very hard to be where I am right now."

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
