“I don't think I need to pick a weight class. I feel like I'm that perf...” — Ryan Bader Quote

I don't think I need to pick a weight class. I feel like I'm that perfect in between. I have the strength, I have the power to fight at heavyweight and I can drop down to 205.

I've been the underdog a lot in the UFC and I love playing that role.

I've fallen short in my career, in MMA, but it is what it is. You're going to do that. I just wanted opportunities.

I was very new to the sport when I entered 'The Ultimate Fighter' and basically got by on my athletic ability and my wrestling. I've since added a lot more tools to my game and continue to develop as a mixed martial artist.

I've been through enough competition in amateur wrestling my whole life to know that sometimes you have off nights and you don't perform and chalk it up to that and move on.

I tell people, when I train, I don't do a Hansel and Gretel workout. I don't drop breadcrumbs. I saved nothing for the trip home.

It was so quiet, you could hear a pun drop.

Movies were, to me, like a way out. It was an escape valve. I remember having my parents drop me off at movies all the time.

It has always been my dream to open a school for the poor children in the city who drop out of school due to financial problems.

You can't just drop everything and focus on playing video games for a living.
