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.

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."

Training Against Bears
Khabib Nurmagomedov literally wrestled with bears when he was young. Nurmagomedov grew up in Dagestan, where as a nine year old boy, his father led him out towards the edge of the forest, where a bear cub was chained to a nearby tree. His dad then turned on a handheld camera, pointed it at his son, and ordered him to the wrestle the animal. Khabib, even at that young age displayed technique and heart.
