Shadow Realm
The "Shadow Realm" is a place fighters go when they get knocked unconscious.
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."

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").
Just Stand Up
Anytime UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis is on his back with an opponent on top of him, he is often able to just stand up with seeming ease. This has driven comments that he doesn't use or need any BJJ technique, he "just stands up."
Derrick Lewis (In a post fight interview on how he gets up from grappling exchanges): "Shit, I ain't all that technical and all, but shit, I'm getting up. Fuck it."

Derrick Lewis Saying Funny Stuff
Joe Rogan vs Ice Spill
Between rounds of Melvin Guillard vs Ronys Torres at UFC 109, a bag of ice cubes broke inside the octagon spilling all over. Officials tried to hastily clean up the ice, but knocked over the collection bucket, re-spilling the ice several more times. Then they attempted to sweep the ice through the side fencing and nearly left ice in the cage before starting the next round. Joe Rogan was on commentary and hilariously made fun of the ice situation.
Joe Rogan: "Wow look at all the ice all over the octagon. Oh that's a problem, someone spilled ice in the octagon... (about the cleanup effort) they knocked the bucket over, three stooges, what are you freaks doing? Everybody's booing."

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
