#1 Rashad Evans

“To me, to live is to fight. It’s about persevering, it’s about testing yourself, it’s about not becoming complacent. It’s about feeling alive in the moment, because when your adrenaline is going you’re thinking about that present moment. You’re not somewhere else, you’re not thinking about what’s going to happen 10 minutes from now. And that’s the reason why I love fighting, because when I’m in there I feel free; I feel like there’s no other place I want to be. I can’t even think of anything beyond that second. That’s why I’m drawn to fight because I love the presence of it, where it brings me mentality. It’s the purest thing for me.”

#2 Renzo Gracie

“People would see a lot of times fighting as a ugly thing, as a thing that denigrates the human being. In reality, you see fighting on everything… Everything’s fighting. Doesn’t matter what it is. You wake up in the morning, to get out of bed is a fight, believe it. So, fighting is actually the best thing a man can have in his soul.”

#3 Randy Couture

“If losing a fight is the worst thing that’s ever happened to you in your life, you’re doing pretty good.”

#4 Chael Sonnen

“When doubt seeps in you got two roads you can take either road. You can go to the left or you can go to the right and believe me, they’ll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous. Failure is always an option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but it’s a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed. And if we can plant seeds and let him know, ‘Move your feet, keep your hands up, stay off the bottom.’ That is the road to victory, or self-doubt and negative talk, and that is the road to failure. But failure is always there, and it’s okay to recognize that.”

Don't ever be afraid to fail...It's a two man sport, somebody is going to win and somebody is not, and that's fine. We like those terms, we agree to those rules. We'll agree to those rules every day, but we will never refuse to participate because we're scared to fail.

#8 Alex Bruce Leroy Caceres

“I guess to sum it all up, the mental state I’m in would be like, ‘If it’s going to hurt, might as well like it.’ I try to stay calm and I try to enjoy myself as I perform these actions so I perform them with minimal stress on my body.” -Alex “Bruce Leroy” Caceres on smiling before and during fights

#9 Joe Rogan

“You are one miniscule piece of a never-ending cycle. In fact, you’re not even a piece. You’re just a holder for billions and billions of other pieces. Whether that’s organic components, living organisms inside your body, bacteria or whatever it is, you’re just part of the soup of the universe, so just try to enjoy what’s good about it.”

#10 Anon
