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."

Pride Month
June is Pride Month, where MMA fans celebrate Pride Fighting Championships, a Japanese mixed martial arts promotion that operated for ten years, from 1997 to 2007. Pride was home to some of the most famous fighters of that era, including Mirko Cro Cop, Rampage Jackson and Wanderlei Silva. The PRIDE ruleset was also more permissive than UFC MMA, permitting soccer kicks, stomps and knees to downed opponents and body slams directly in the head ("spiking").
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.

Red Panty Night
During the UFC "Go Big" press conference, when RDA and Cerrone were asked if they would fight Conor McGregor instead of each other, Conor retorts with "I change your bum life... it's a celebration... you call your wife, 'We're rich baby, break out the red panties...' It's red panty night when you fight me!" When other fighters take on Conor McGregor, it is usually a big earning opportunity for them, so "Red Panty Night" is considered a real thing. The phrase can be used in other contexts such as any time something really good happens, especially involving money.
1. Dude, I got a raise today, so looks like it's red panty night at my house tonight. 2. I won $100 dollars on my lottery ticket! Woohoo! Red Panty Night!
