“What's a martial artist? Someone who respects his opponent.” — Curtis Blaydes Quote

“What's a martial artist? Someone who respects his opponent.”

“I'm not a black belt, but in MMA, the difference between a black belt and white belt is just a few elbows.”

“I never understand why fans get upset that I wrestle. I feel like they should take that anger and direct it at my opponent for allowing me to take them down at will.”

“Definitely female MMA fighters, I'm a big mixed martial arts fan, and watching women's MMA grow was definitely an inspiration. We just had an idea for a character and wanted to do a personality that was the opposite of Aang's, and that's how Korra came about.”

“I'm a mixed martial artist, and I have no problem to fight wherever the fight goes.”

“I am a professional martial artist, and I am a professional fighter.”
