“I've been the underdog a lot in the UFC and I love playing that role.” — Ryan Bader Quote

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

I need that name in Rashad Evans, a name that UFC and the fans respect. They know his skill set. They know what he can do. You go out there and beat a guy like that, you've proved yourself to the UFC and to the fans.

I'm not one of those guys talking smack, because we've seen it catches up to you at some point.

We get stereotyped as MMA fighters as being barbarian and trying to hurt people. A lot of us are college-educated, like myself.

When I get into the Octagon I look at it as another sparring session kind of.

Underdog success stories don't just happen, they have to be created.

As a playing group you don't go into the game thinking about whether you're the underdog or not.

It's wonderful being the underdog.

Sometimes, against the underdog, you can lose because they want it more. It happens to every team.

I've always felt like the underdog.
