Swanging and Banging
A brawling fight exchange of heavy punches, but poor technique. Usually exciting for fans. May increase chances of a knockout.
Derrick Lewis (after a long hard win over Roy Nelson): "I don't care how tired I get, I'm just gonna keep on swangin and bangin."
Swangin’ and bangin’ on the menu for Lewis & Tuivasa at #UFC271 👊 | #Shorts

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?"

Salon Quality Poirier
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."

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.

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)."
