The Weekly Wrap: Nov. 21 - Nov. 27

Quoteworthy

"I thought I won the first round and I thought I won the second round. I got two takedowns. You see the damage on his face. I got him good. In the third round, I was gassed. After 18 months off, I want to see another fighter come in after back surgery and do what I did. And for me not getting ‘Fight of the Night,’ I'm taken back by it." -- Tito Ortiz at UFC 106 press conference.

"I'm done talking. I'm gonna go talk more shit on my Twitter." -- Josh Koscheck following his win at UFC 106.

“The thing with Koscheck is, he is a pretty good fighter but he is inconsistent. He wins one, he loses one. He just won’t flush away for some reason, he is just always there. But every cloud has a silver lining and I will never get bored of watching Josh Koscheck get punched in the face. It’s nice that he wins a fight every now and again so he stays around and we get to see him get knocked out every other fight.” -- Dan Hardy commenting on Josh Koscheck on Tapout Radio.

"The thing is with GSP is, he's such a nice guy. If you say something bad about him he just smiles and bows at you. You know, it's a little boring. So I'm going to have to do something to make sure the fans know the fight is going on." -- Dan Hardy to MMA Fanhouse on his future opponent.

"I’m sorry I ran out on you, it was no disrespect. I just wanted it to be a great fight and I was really disappointed when it wasn’t." -- Forrest Griffin in an off-to-the-side conversation with Anderson Silva following his UFC 106 win, as reported by The Las Vegas Sun.

"Me, afraid of Michael Bisping? Stop the jokes!" -- Wanderlei Silva to Fighters Only magazine.

“Who's the champion now? Because I don't know. Right now, I'm number one. I feel that I'm [at the] top now, and if I fight him, I fight him. I didn't say I wanted to fight him, and no one knows who he is, so if we fight ... well, I'll have to think about it.” -- Shinya Aoki reacting with something less than excitement when asked if he was interested in facing Sengoku’s lightweight champion, who is Mizuto Hirota.

“What I know, with all my boxing stuff… that sport is what, 125 years old, 150 years old and still boxing complains. The big difference is in a ten or twelve-round fight if you make a mistake usually you overcome it, but there are still crazy decisions. With a three-round fight, one change of a score changes who wins or loses. That’s tough. It'll never be perfect… Officiating when you have judgment calls, there is always going to be some controversy. If you never had a controversy in boxing, you wouldn't have any rematches." -- Marc Ratner, former executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, to Heavy.com on scoring in MMA.

"Don't do it, Herschel," -- boxer Antonio Tarver during a Showtime boxing broadcast that cut to future Strikeforce competitor and NFL notable Herschel Walker at ringside.
