I know, every fighter knows, you've got to pile up wins in a row. You can't lose two in a row, three in a row and then you hear mentions of losing your job.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
Pass-rushers with boxing or kickboxing go hand-in-hand. You've got to have fast, sharp hands and be straight down the middle, because linemen are coming off and you have to be able to pop their hands down.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
Obviously, you've got to go out there and focus on each fight before moving onto the next one.

Strikeforce let me take a fight on short notice outside the promotion and I got robbed on a split decision against Kendall Grove. I easily won that fight. So, I went from 9-0 to getting robbed and suffering my first loss.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
Lyoto is never going to lose his skills. He might lose his timing, speed, cardio, but he'll never lose his skills.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
Jacare, he has power. We're two strong guys. He relies on being aggressive and coming forward. He looks to get the takedown. He's punching and he's shooting. I've never been taken down in a fight. Now, I'm not disregarding that I could be taken down, but I just know that I have a little bit more when it comes to giving up takedowns.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
When you're talking mixed martial arts, to have a win over a guy who is by many considered the greatest of all time, is definitely going to take your career to the next level.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
It's not an excuse, but I'd say I didn't perform well in the big fights because I wasn't prepared properly.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
Anderson knees people in the face from the clinch. That guy is a world class Muay Thai fighter.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
Sports are sometimes unforgiving, and it is what it is. Take my fight with Jacare. I had the flu and I went to the doctor and I had to get nursed back. I didn't train for like 10 days and I fought four or five days later.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
My fight against Chris Leben was a war, and I was fulfilled with that victory because that guy has a ton of experience fighting in the UFC.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
I match up against everybody well. I just have to stay consistent and keep going out there winning fights.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
Fighting Anderson Silva was a signature and career-defining moment that was stolen from me.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
MMA is a sport. We go out here and we do battle. Everybody has family, friends, they train really hard.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
Nobody has seen my jiu-jitsu, but I have really good jiu-jitsu. I submit black belts.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
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.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
You have to be sharp, you have to be ready. You have to have guys that can push you in terms of these high-level fights or otherwise you're going to get out to these fights and your opponent has been pushed and they are ready to compete. If you have not been pushed and you're not ready, you can't just turn that switch on that night.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
I came into MMA and I had a strong core and a lot flexibility. I could put myself in a lot of different positions when it comes to scrambling.
Quote by -Derek Brunson
I haven't been given a lot of respect in the division. But you know what? I'm OK with earning it.
