It was an obvious joke. Hater.

“I accept full responsibility for my actions and the consequences from
those actions. I apologize to all that I have disappointed, including
the UFC, my family, coaches, training partners and fans. I accept the
sanctions from the UFC and I look forward to completing the necessary
steps to getting back in the octagon following the suspension and
assuring that this never happens again.”

I really don’t have a reaction to it because, to be honest, Dana
White…it’s sad but he’s uneducated to the sport and the industry. He’s
calling me a moron for using my medicine when half his fighters are on
steroids. It’s pretty offensive, but at the same time, I am looking at
the source, and he can’t help himself

Even now, I don’t have a dislike for Dana White or the UFC. But
really, he’s just a juice monkey who’s bald, who doesn’t know sh** about
business. He just yells the F word and expects things to be handed to
him.

It’s 100% true! Look at Dave Herman, he failed two drug
tests, doesn’t even have a medical license and he still has a job. He’s
lost three fights in a row. I’ve won four fights in a row, I got
Submission of the Night; I have a medical license, but they fired me
without hesitation.

"[Nick Diaz has] still got a ton of hype behind him... he's ranked in the top ten, so that would be a good win for me. Yeah, I'd love to beat his (expletive)."

Quote :

“His training camps are very difficult. I’ve done a lot of training camps. I could tell you the energy, time and money and hours spent doing a GSP training camp is ridiculous. It’s borderline insane. There’s a lot of effort going into preparing him for his fights. Can he live this lifestyle for another four or five years? I don’t know. Because it’s not a balanced lifestyle. It’s not a balanced lifestyle for him … He’s giving up a lot of free time and leisure time and experiences he could be having in life to maintain his title, to maintain this excellence. It’s a difficult thing to do. He’s going to have to make that choice one fight at a time. Does he want to go through another training camp? Right now at this time, yes, for sure. There’s no doubt in my mind he wants to do another one, but down the line, two or three more training camps, is he still going to want to do it? That’s up to him. Does he still have the fire and the passion? We’ll see … There’s always a guy that pops up. Jake Ellenberger looked great, and then there’s going to be another guy. There’s Demian Maia. Demian Maia’s on a win streak. There’s always an up-and-comer. You can’t forget that every time there’s a show, the deck gets shuffled. That’s why I don’t really believe there’s nobody else. Look at Robbie Lawler, for instance. He had a tremendous win. Very impressive win. That guy can hit you with one punch and it’s over. Same thing with Jake Ellenberger, same thing with [Johny] Hendricks. There are so many studs out there. Tomorrow, when you run out of them, the next day you’ll find a new guy with a great performance, like Erick Silva, for instance. I’m sure he’s going to go on a winning streak. He just lost to Jon Fitch. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins three, four fights in a row. I wouldn’t be surprised at all. It wouldn’t shock me the least bit, and he could become a number one contender. There’s always going to be another guy. There’s too many good guys out there. I think it’s a myth that the division can be cleaned out.”

I'd like to also personally apologize to anyone who was offended by this. I am very sorry, that was never my intention.

Quote :

"The UFC is going to obviously tell us what they want to do. I think Georges would do either fight to be honest with you," Zahabi said during an appearance on Sherdog Radio Network's "Cheap Seats" show.

"If he fights Hendricks, I think [St-Pierre] could fight for longer. He could have more fights after that. If he fights Anderson Silva, I could really see that being his last fight. He'll retire after that because there won't be a bigger fight for him to do, I think, anymore in his career."

"Win or lose, I think he'll probably end on that note, on Anderson Silva," Zahabi said. "Maybe that's why it's been pushed back a little bit, but I think when it does happen, it'll be the last one because once he goes up a weight class, he's never coming back down."

Ross Pearson talking about Erin Beach (his boxing coach on TUF Smashies) but we'll just say that he wrote:

“So, we were there filming and it was all cool. And, I think it was the second or third fight and Australia went one, we went one. Me and my coaches were going back to the guest hotel where we were staying. And obviously, because we won the fight, we were cheering and jumping around. Just acting silly, really. And Team Australia’s coaches, George and his team, must have found that offensive, you know? So, they are all outside our hotel and we are all in our UFC TUF: Smashes gear and George confronted us, tried to start a street fight, like a group fight. It was crazy. So I separated them from the street. And from that, it started like a little bit of a twitter back-and-forth fight between me and George. Just telling him to get ready to fight in December blah, blah, blah. And then my assistant boxing coach, Erin Beach, he happened to say a few things on Twitter and George didn’t like it. A few days down the road, filming on the set, but off camera, George cheap shotted Erin. Yeah, cheap shotted him from behind. Like punched him straight in the face from behind. Crazy things happened. Obviously George didn’t put Erin down on the floor. He backed Erin up a little bit and tried to go in to finish him off and Erin knocked George out. It turned into a street fight. Obviously, UFC wasn’t happy with what happened but it was just ridiculous, really. George didn’t even fight him like a man, cheap shotted him when he wasn’t looking. When I said all the things that I said about the show I wasn’t lying. I did lose all respect for George, I still don’t respect him now. He’s done some ridiculous things. When I said that’s the real George Sotiropoulos, that’s what I was talking about. He was crazy man. The guy has problems, he’s got issues. Those were the things I was saying but I couldn’t release what happened. And I was telling the truth, I didn’t lie.”

Chael is in the 'promote fight' business. That's how he got in this situation in the first place. I'm in the 'remain champion' business.

George Sotiropolous wrote:

“It’s time to set the record straight with Ross Pearson’s false statements.
There was no shortage of drama produced both on and off the set of TUF Smashes.

The incident he describes started with Team UK coach Erin Beach
inviting me to fight and directing bold statements towards me on
twitter. The following was a confrontation that ended with Beach
unsuccessfully seeking refuge in a locked closet, followed with hiding
behind a pregnant woman in the producers office.

At no stage was anyone knocked out, locked out or tapped out. Pearson
was not present and did not witness the creative story he speaks of.

I’m bewildered as to why Pearson continues to talk about me four
months after our fight. He continues to focus and obsess with great
enthusiasm and is obviously thinking more about me than I am thinking
about him. His problem not mine. If he seeks a rematch I’ll gladly
oblige him sometime in the future.”

Jon Jones wrote:

People know that Chael Sonnen has done steroids throughout his whole
career and that's probably why his testosterone is low now. I don't
think that is the heart or the attitude of a champion, so that's what I
meant when I said he lacks champion's soul.

"I would beat him, I always said that I would. I have the advantage in weight and height, so it would be more likely that I would beat him. But Anderson is one of my favorite fighters."

"Forrest deserves it. He beat me, and he beat some other really good guys. He was a world champion. He had some great fights. I think he deserves it. As far as Stephan, I have nothing against the guy, but you've got to be a world champion, I think, to be in the Hall of Fame."

Nick Diaz wrote:

"It's all geared toward this certain scoring criteria that's really ass-backwards," Diaz said. "Spastic movements are made on account of a lack of technical aspects, so some fighters try to make up for this lacking technical aspect with some sort of frantic, spastic movement. And they're awarding points for more of that stuff. They spazz out, all over the f--king place. And, all of a sudden, at the end of the fight, you realize ... Hector Lombard lost [to Tim Boetsch]? What the f--k is that? He landed all the clean shots and stood his ground. That dude [Boetsch] had to bounce around and move around all over the place. Frantically!"
