“If I never fought for the belt, it wouldn't bother me. That whole song...” — Cub Swanson Quote

“If I never fought for the belt, it wouldn't bother me. That whole song and dance gets tiring, and it's a lot of playing favorites. I've just had it dangled in front of me so many times, I'm just like, whatever, man.”

“In my whole career, I've never fought for a belt, so that's something that I would like to do, or at least have the opportunity to do.”

“I have so many plans inside and outside the Octagon.”

“Whether it's fight off my front foot, fight off my back foot, pick shots off, roll shots off, potshot, put combinations together, I feel like I'm a pretty well-rounded fighter. Whatever the situation calls for, I feel like I have the tools on my belt to bring it out.”

“The lion doesn't care that the sheep laugh at him. Remember that. The lion just stays there. The animals make noise and tease. The guy with the belt is the lion.”

“Needless to say, I would have loved to have been a black belt instead of actually just wearing one to hold up my pants!”
