Between rounds of Melvin Guillard vs Ronys Torres at UFC 109, a bag of ice cubes broke inside the octagon spilling all over. Officials tried to hastily clean up the ice, but knocked over the collection bucket, re-spilling the ice several more times. Then they attempted to sweep the ice through the side fencing and nearly left ice in the cage before starting the next round. Joe Rogan was on commentary and hilariously made fun of the ice situation.
Joe Rogan: "Wow look at all the ice all over the octagon. Oh that's a problem, someone spilled ice in the octagon... (about the cleanup effort) they knocked the bucket over, three stooges, what are you freaks doing? Everybody's booing."

Originally popularized by UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, "Number One Bullshit" is something he would say to express dislike, disdain or disapproval for a person or situation.
Khabib Nurmagomedov (on Conor McGregor getting a lightweight title shot before he did): "This is number one bullshit."

The "Shadow Realm" is a place fighters go when they get knocked unconscious.
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."

Dana White commonly calls people "Goof" and so the nickname has stuck to him. He is now known as "The Goof".
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.
