“This sport is growing. It's about patience, rather than getting caught...” — Derek Brunson Quote

“This sport is growing. It's about patience, rather than getting caught up in five in a row, want a title shot, main event. The goal is to put on a great fight and be smart.”

“I look at a lot of my fights and I'm like, 'man, that was too greedy.' I can even look back on my fights, even the good ones where I got the knockouts, and think, 'I should have probably toned it down a little bit.'”

“MMA in my opinion is the hardest sport in the world, no doubt.”

“Patience, discipline - giving everything on court... This is what I'm trying to bring in every single match.”

“How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?”

“I haven't got the patience for small talk, although I once saw a woman standing on her own in the corner, and I realised it was Monica Lewinsky, and I had the nicest evening with her - she was charming.”
