Shadow Realm
The "Shadow Realm" is a place fighters go when they get knocked unconscious.
It was super necessary
Jorge Masvidal answering a reporter's question about his two follow up punches after brutally ko’ing Ben Askren with a jumping knee. The punches were landed after the opponent was clearly knocked unconscious, much reminiscent of the flying bomb Dan Henderson landed on a stiffened Michael Bisping .

TowelGate
Daniel Cormier did the towel trick (pushing the towel down to lighten yourself on the scale) in order to make weight for his UFC Light Heavyweight title defense against Rumble Johnson at UFC 210, which sparked controversy.

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").
I'm not surprised Mother Fuckers!
After defeating Conor McGregor at UFC 196, Nate Diaz, a betting underdog, said he was not surprised that he won. The exchange happened with Joe Rogan during Diaz's post fight octagon interview. "I'm not surprised Mother Fuckers!" has lived on as one of Diaz's many memorable quotes.
Joe Rogan: "Nate Diaz, you just shook up the world." Nate Diaz: "I'm not surprised Mother Fuckers!"

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."
