Magny responds to criticism coaches should have stopped fight
"Live by the sword, die by the sword. I’m in there to protect myself at all times. … I think I would be more disappointed in myself if I were to quit or if my coaches were to call it early. I’d rather fight tooth-and-nail until the last possible second and give it all I’ve got. ... Beat up and disappointed; obviously, it wasn’t my night. … His power was impressive. Whether it was a jab or a cross or a hook, I was still looking up wondering where that punch came from. He has speed in his hands, power in his hands, and precision with his punches." H/T MMAjunkie
Cynthia Calvillo discusses missing weight
“Basically what happened is I started my period this week. We were kind of prepared for it, because we could feel the symptoms, but unfortunately this morning when we got up it was about 5:30 and I had two pounds to go. Then, I couldn’t cut any weight at all from 5:30 to 8 a.m. We tried everything and I could not break a sweat. Even when I got up to the scale, I was the same weight that I woke up at 5:30 in the morning. They decided to go ahead and stop me from continuing cutting the weight at 9 a.m. They didn’t want to make me suffer more so that I was still able to fight. So, that’s basically what happened. Unfortunately, we tried to prepare the best for it, but my body was just not sweating due to having to retain the water because of my period.” H/T MMA Fighting

Dana White shuts down Conor-Cowboy rumors
“That’s not true. Absolutely not true. Obviously, that’s the fight that 'Cowboy' Cerrone wants but that’s not true. We haven’t even thought about an opponent for either one of those guys yet, meaning Khabib or Conor. ... Those guys go before the Nevada State Athletic Commission in December and then we’ll know what’s up. We’re not even thinking about it [Cowboy vs. Conor]. It’s not even worth talking about because we don’t know how long the suspensions are going to be, what their fines are going to be. We don’t know the penalties yet, so you can’t even think about fights until we know what the penalties are.” H/T MMA Mania • Watch

Why Kevin Lee has been quiet on social media
“Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, the whole shebang, I kind of shied away from most of it ... just because at the end of the day, what I do is more important to me. You know, like my craft, my skills, being able to work on that. I felt like some things, especially on social media, were starting to be too big of a distraction. I’m keeping my eyes on the prize. I’m the youngest guy in the top 10 for a reason, and I’m going to be around for a long, long time. I’m not one of these guys that’s going to get to the top and only stay there for a year, a year-and-a-half or whatever. I’m staying there for a long time. And in order to do that, I have to have my craft underneath me. I’ve been focusing on what I do. And when I show up on December 15th, you’re going to see all the work, and it’s going be worth missing a couple of tweets.” Listen

Floyd won't fight Khabib, will box him
Floyd Mayweather: “Khabib called me out, I didn’t call Khabib out. They said it has to happen in the Octagon and I said, ‘You just tell me where Khabib has made nine figures before in the octagon. If he hasn’t made nine figures, he’s not the A side. I’m the A side, so if you guys want the fight to happen, you must come my way. My way, my rules. Has to [be boxing. My way, my rules. I’m Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. Even if it don’t happen, I’m comfortable. I’ve got a great life. Houses all over L.A. I’m retired and I’m still living a great life.” There have been suggestions that these callouts are fueled by Mayweather being not Money. H/T TMZ
CM Punk: I did a fire, ready, aim, and have no regrets
"Since my last fight, I've been juggling a half-dozen things. I kind of gave myself a deadline of the beginning of the new year to find out what is coming next. I don't rule anything out, absolutely not. I did things backward. I jumped in the deep end. But everybody's path is different. I do think there needs to be a feeder system where people can get their feet wet. I was presented with an opportunity that, if I was talking to you today and didn't do, I'd regret. I absolutely do not regret my decision one bit." H/T Newsday
