Shadow Realm
The "Shadow Realm" is a place fighters go when they get knocked unconscious.
Immigrant Mentality
Comedian Joey Diaz loves UFC Fighter Stipe Miocic because of Miocic's hard work ethic, or 'immigrant mentality' as Diaz says.
Joey Diaz: "Miocic is crazy. I love that Motherfucker. He's got that immigrant mentality." Joe Rogan: "He was born in America." Joey Diaz: "Yeah, whatever the fuck he is. He's got that crazy blood in him."

Send Me Location
Khabib Nurmagomedov would commonly state he was not afraid of Conor McGregor (or other opponents) saying he would fight them anywhere, and they just need to send him the location and he will show up to fight.
Khabib Nurmagomedov: "If you wanna fight me please, just send me location. Send me location."

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
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)."
"Bangkok Ready"
Spinning Shit
MMA attacks that involve spinning your whole body, such as spinning back fist, spinning elbow or spinning kicks. The phrase was coined by Nick Diaz when he fought Carlos Condit in the main event of UFC 143. At 2:02 in the first round, Condit throws a spinning back fist to which Diaz asks "We're throwing spinning shit now?"
Carlos Condit: Throws spinning back fist at Nick Diaz in round 1 of their UFC 143 bout. Nick Diaz: "We're throwing spinning shit now?"

Letting Him Be A Warrior
When a MMA referee allows a fight to go on while one fighter is being beaten badly, fans say the ref is letting the fighter be a warrior. The idea is that although a fighter is being dominated they are fighting on, which makes them "a warrior", while many fans believe the ref should step in a stop the fight. The phrase originated referee Mario Yamasaki was asked about why it took so long for him to stop a one-sided beating between Valentina Shevchenko and Priscila Cachoeira, he said he was "letting her be a warrior."
Dude, the fight is a one-sided beating, the ref should stop the fight. No, he's just letting her be a warrior.
