Pound for pound best.
Islam as of 2024 is the #1 P4P!
BISPING: Alex Pereira is "POUND for POUND No.1!?" | AHEAD of Islam and Jones? 🤔
Training Against Bears
Khabib Nurmagomedov literally wrestled with bears when he was young. Nurmagomedov grew up in Dagestan, where as a nine year old boy, his father led him out towards the edge of the forest, where a bear cub was chained to a nearby tree. His dad then turned on a handheld camera, pointed it at his son, and ordered him to the wrestle the animal. Khabib, even at that young age displayed technique and heart.

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").
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."

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."

Sea Level Cain
Sea Level Cain is Cain Velasquez at his best - at sea level. Cain Velasquez is known for having great cardio, but when he fought in Mexico City, which is at very high altitude, he gassed out early and lost to Fabricio Werdum. People think it must have been the altitude, so Sea Level Cain is born.
Horsemeat
Alistair Overeem ate horsemeat as part of his diet while he was a UFC fighter. Fans speculate this is why Overeem had such a massive physique.
"I eat 6, 7, maybe 8 times a day. I like beef, beef is good for strength. Cow beef, horse beef, I like fish. Horse is a very good protein, better than beef." - Alistair Overeem
