A few updates on what's been going on in the MMA Twitterverse
PHILOSOPHY
"The Ultimate fighter has Strike Force, Pride & a Dream. But if u are a Bellator in times of Sengoku it can really be a Shark fight. #puns" -Kenny Florian
"Title defense? I'm looking at it more like a title attack.. I #WILL be the hunter" -Jon Jones
"I think I'm gonna throw out my whole sock drawer and start fresh." -Frankie Edgar
"One thing I love so much about fighting is the truth always comes out in the cage. There is no lying about how many hours of training and sacrifice you put in. There is no lying about the years of hard work and dedication. It all shows when its time to perform. Win or lose the truth always come out in a fight. Fighting to me is one of the most genuine/ real/ true things left on this earth!" -Phillipe Nover

"I think @junior_cigano will win in november. And Brock wins against Overeen in december. Then we ll have @junior_cigano vs Brock next year!" -Demian Maia, I'm a huge Overeem fan, but Lesnar is showing a ton of heart by asking for the best of the best each and every time out, so I'm hoping Mr. Maia is right.
"New (again) Zuffa employee @AlistairOvereem knocks out some Q&As while he's in the building" - UFC
