Weaponizing Pace
To fight at a faster pace than your opponent can maintain, tiring them out. Nick Diaz is a fighter known to weaponize pace. His training involved lots of cardio, so he was able to have higher output than his opponents during fights, often successfully tiring them out and overcoming them.
"Poirier has never been given credit for his ability to weaponize pace. Dustin's former opponents will talk about how hard and in your face Poirier is." - Chael Sonnen
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!

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.
