Dana White on his life’s purpose

“I’m the guy with the road map. I’m the guy who knows where I want to go with this thing. I know what my end game is. I know where it is. When this thing is a sport, all over the entire world, and you can take the UFC to any city in any country, just like soccer, then I did it. I did what I set out to do. That’s why I was put on this planet. That’s my job, my destiny, whatever the [expletive] you want to call it.”

–UFC President Dana White in an interview with Yahoo Sports

Morihei Ueshiba on self-victory

True victory is self-victory; let that day arrive quickly! “True victory” means unflinching courage; “self-victory” symbolizes unflagging effort; and “let that day arrive quickly” represents the glorious moment of triumph in the here and now.

Shane Carwin vs Cain Velasquez in works for UFC 104

MMAjunkie reports this battle of UFC heavyweights is in the works. I’ve got to go with Velasquez on this one due to the superior ground game. Carwin has dynamite in his hands but Velasquez seems to be able to take a punch and dominate fighters on the mat. Granted Cheick Kongo, who Velasquez recently defeated, is not the best ground fighter, the pressure, aggression and technique Velasquez used to take down and ground and pound Kongo was quite impressive.

Quote of the Day

“It is not the critic that counts not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or the doer of deeds could have them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming but he who does actually strive to do the deed who knows the great devotion who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat.”
