UNDERGROUND AWARDS-2009 QUOTE OF THE YEAR
BJ Penn: "To the death. We're going to go to the death. I'm not going to stop, I'm willing to die. I'm gonna go, serious George, I'm gonna go to the death. I'm going to try to kill you and I'm not joking about this." 

Dan Hardy: “The thing I’ve realized about Josh Koscheck is that he’s kind of like a turd that won’t flush away. He kind of wins a fight, and you think he’s doing alright. Then he loses a fight and you think he’s done, and then he wins a fight. He’s always kind of floating around and he never really does anything.”

Dana White: “If I wanted Dan Henderson, I could’ve signed him. For the money he wanted, he’s not worth it. He’s not a big pay-per-view star, he’s not a big attraction, and he’s not going to sell out arenas. He wants way too much and he doesn’t bring anything to the table. Here’s the reality: If I wanted him, he’d be in the UFC. It’s not like, ‘F***, Strikeforce beat me out.’ He’s been a free agent for a long time. If I wanted him, I would have signed him by now.”

Brock Lesnar:  “Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass and I told him that a year ago. I pulled that son of a bitch out and I beat him with it. Whoo!... I’m going to go home tonight and drink a Coors Light because Bud Light won’t pay me. I’m going to sit down with my friends and family and hell, I might even get on top of my wife tonight.”

Frank Mir: “I’ve never hated a human being as much as I hate [Brock]. It’s never driven me to the points of insanity that it has driven me to now. I want to rip Cheick Kongo’s arm off and make a statement, and it’s just because I want to scare the s*** out of Brock. I want him to know that he will never be the same human being after I get out of that cage with him. I will detrimentally affect his physical life forever and scar him on a mental level.”

Frank Shamrockr: “I don't want to fight Jake Shields, because he has no personality, he's a boring fighter, and when he got to CBS, and it was his chance to be a star, leg humped (Jason Miller) all night long, and killed our ratings. That's why I don't want to fight Jake Shields.”
