The Week in Quotes - April 19th to 25th
MR. SILVA, YOU WILL BE TRIED BY A JURY OF YOUR PEERS
"You never want to disrespect fellow fighters, much less two contesting a UFC world title, but I think both guys should hang their heads in shame, quite honestly." - TUF 3 winner Michael Bisping disrespecting both guys. (UFC.com)
"Disrespect to the public and so bad for the UFC, because everybody is waiting to see a great show." - Former Pride middleweight champ Wanderlei Silva after a meal of rice and chicken (chicken and rice). (Fighters Only)
"Well, I’ll just say that at least I can expect to take a bathroom break or to go grab a refreshment when it comes time for him to fight." - Former UFC welterweight champ Matt Hughes, in between beating his dad with brother Mark. (matt-hughes.com)
"He threw a punch at the air and the guy fell down. He was attacking him the whole time." - Former UFC light heavyweight champ Chuck Liddell dressing down journalist Mike Straka at the post fight presser. (Cage Writer)
"I’m comfortable with people’s opinion, because they have a right to their opinion, but when I went out there, everything I [prepared for] in training, I felt I executed in the fight." - UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva, the misunderstood artist for our time. (Yahoo)
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD
"Chuck has been doing this for 16, 17 years...and I guess the old saying is, it's very hard to train an old dog to do new tricks." - Olympic gold medalist Howard Davis Jr. commenting on Chuck's habit of dropping his hands. (Cage Writer)
"There were no changes. I knew that before the fight because an inside source told me that it was just a front." - UFC light heavyweight champ Rashad Evans
HE'S NOT QUITE DEAD!
"Chuck is still dangerous to anybody." - Former UFC welterweight champ Matt Hughes touching on Liddell's infamous club game. (MMA Fanhouse)
"Number one, I like him and I like watching him. Number two, I still think he's good enough to do some serious damage to people." - Hughes, explaining his reasons for wanting to see Chuck fight more.
YOU DON'T SAY!
"I am never going to be an Ernesto Hoost-level kickboxer." - Congenital amputee Kyle Maynard. Maynard lost his amateur MMA debut via unanimous decision. (MMA Fanhouse)
LIKE RICE AND CHICKEN, BUT BETTER
" Now I mainly eat a horse meat, rice and protein shakes." - Alistair Overeem, to be the horse you got to eat the horse. (Index.hr)
WELCOME TO BLOODYRAGS.COM, NUMBER ONE IN MMA COVERAGE
"But they claimed the bikini was wet, and a wet bikini would weigh 6 pounds." - Hitomi Akano's manager Shu Hirata. (MMA Weekly)
"I heard blame on a scale at a gym they used, the period (as explained to me by saying, “Blood” in a Portuguese accent and making a whooshing effect with his hands from the crotch area.), and the fact that Gremlins didn’t enter the picture is surprising." - King of Pancrase Josh Barnett channeling his inner gynocologist. (Josh Barnett Myspace)
WHITE NOISE
"This guy is like a great white shark. When there is blood in the water, he is going to fucking kill you." - UFC President Dana White, on Anderson Silva. (Inside Fighting)
"He’s the Andy Warhol of mixed martial arts." - White, on Silva again. Judging by fan reaction, he's more like David Lynch. For the record, I hate David Lynch.
"Now when is the last time you saw the Leon Spinks fucking doll?" - White, highlighting his efforts to set up fighters financially post-retirement.
"I have gay and lesbian friends, people who I respect." - White, with the worst defense of offensive language.
"The reality is though that as we get bigger, a lot of the bigger companies we do business with have no fucking balls whatsoever. They will fucking tuck dick and run in thirteen seconds. And I didn’t build this thing to what it is by being a pussy." - White, if he can't offend sponsors through coarse language, he'll do it directly.
PARTING SHOTS
"The old Matt Hamill is not the new one." - Matt Hamill, in things that make you go "Hm." (MMA Fanhouse)
"Frankly, I am absolutely unmotivated by money." - Femme fatale Gina Carano who must be holding out on a Strikeforce deal for more chocolate. (MMA Fanhouse)

The gina deal is likely being held out based on a time commitment and ability to do other projects instead of fight without having to give over a percentage. I think money amounts were figured out a while ago.

Her dad owens the two biggest casinos in Reno. She can hold off long enough till some thing better comes along, Its not like she’s fighting to make ends meet. I’m happy the Elite XC crap is over and some of thses guys can feed there kids.
Hello, Japan!
“Tuck dick” will now be absorbed into my everyday vocabulary.
And how long did it take you to decide whether or not you should use bloodyrags.com?

The old Matt Hamill is not the new one.
filed under “things you regret saying”, along with “There’s a lot of 205-pounders we can all bang”..
I remember that. Hamill is what my dad would refer to as ‘a real beauty’

Seriously – he’s so fuckin’ overrated! He’s a good technical director, but can’t write a decent script to save his soul! “Oh look, I’m mysterious!” No you’re not, you’re a pretentious prick who inspires other people to make shitty art films!
What…mma blog…stick to the topic?

David Lynch?
American postmodern filmmaker who frequently manipulates dreams and surreal imagery in his films. He’s loved by most film nerds, but I can’t stand him because I never feel that his movies ever mean anything. They look pretty, but I never find any substance without making incredible leaps of logic between completely unrelated elements. I’m all for symbolism, but when it’s that convoluted, I call BS.

You should win a Pulitzer for this shit. I look forward to this every week. Is there any way we could get a best of “Week In Quotes” like each month? I will chip in a few dollarz if that will help. Make it a Fanpost at the end of each month and add a poll. Who’s with me here?

Since this will be the first whole year of TWIQ, I’ll probably do a mid- and full-year “best of”.

My favorite Bisping quote from that article is “I’ve seen more aggression from my fiancé when she hits the January sales.”

“fiancé” should have two "e"s on the end to make it feminine. Just sayin’. Grammar Nazi away!

Just Wanted to Say
I look forward to this every week as well. It’s amazing! Keep it up!
It’s a great regular feature!!
I was never a Liddell fan until
that post fight press conference. The fact that he jumped to Silva’s defense, even when Dana was trashing him, shows more class than I think we have ever seen from him. He had no reason to other than standing up for someone he felt did no wrong.
Also, I would say Chuck’s opinion, as a fighter with similar style, is more significant than any of Silva’s critics. Its hard to understand what he was doing unless you have gone through similar
EPIC FAIL
You’re killing me Fagan. You missed the Baroni interview from Nerd Society? It was the most utterly hilarious interview this week.

That was real?! I thought that was just satire.

I have no idea, was it? The problem is that if it is satire…. it still sounds like something Baroni would say just to be an asshole to nerds. LOL! Still a funny as hell interview if it is.

Typo
“King of Pancrase Josh Barnett”
Should be: “King of Pancrase and noted steroid user Josh Barnett.”
Keep complaining about people breaking the rules, juicer. It’s HILARIOUS.
