Though UFC fighters are absolute monsters inside the octagon. Plenty of times, these fighters have given their fans something to quote from their press conferences and interviews. Let's take a look at the 5 best quotable one-liners from UFC fighters
After Georges St-Pierre's biggest rival Matt Hughes won the belt by defeating BJ Penn, the Canadian walked in to the octagon and said, "I'm very glad you won the fight, Matt. But I'm not impressed by your performance." This quote was said back in 2010 and is still one of the most-quotable lines among the fanbase.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the greatest fighters of all time. "The Eagle" was a hungry fighter before he got the title shot. After being snubbed from a shot at the title, Nurmagomedov had a little chat about UFC giving Conor McGregor a chance to fight for the title. In the discussion, Khabib gave us a gem of a line. "This is number one bullsh**" said the Dagestani in his broken English which went on to become one of the most-used lines by fans around the world.

Derrick Lewis, the knockout artist is one of the funniest fighters on the UFC roster. There are many moments in the fighter's career that has left the fans in splits but this particular interview with Joe Rogan inside the UFC octagon ranks high among the fans. After winning the fight, Lewis dropped his shorts and came up to the interview. When asked about it, he said, "My balls was hot."
When Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor were feuding, the Irishman decided to throw a dolly on the bus Khabib was sitting in. After serious damage caused by the Irish fighter, Nurmagomedov addressed the media and sent out a message to his rival. "Send me location," said Khabib sending out a threat to Conor. This went on to become one of the greatest lines in UFC history.

This line will arguably go down as the greatest in history of the promotion. Conor McGregor at his absolute best on the microphone before creating history as the double champ. At the UFC 205 press conference, UFC veteran Jeremy Stephens claimed to be the hardest-hitting 155-pounder. McGregor, who was trolling everyone on the stage, looked around and said, "Who the f**k is that guy?" This line is still used as a quote during banter among the fans.
