Fatigue makes cowards of us all.

Maybe not the most inspirational, but very applicable to not just fighting. You can be the best, most skilled, but if you have no strength left - you'll start cutting corners and begin trailing to even mediocrities and worse.

Knowing how to save energy, rebuild energy, rest, take care of yourself - it's all a skill as well.
 
I knew I was down two rounds, but that left me three more to go to win this fight.

-Matt Hughes (against Penn the second fight)

I could not see out of one eye but I begged them not to stop the fight, because I had yet to connect with any strikes yet

-Wanderlei Silva (against Mirko the second fight)

I was reading about Tatiana Suarez's thoughts after defeat and she gave this quote, which I thought was pretty cool. I can't say I'd ever heard it before.

“‘Champions don’t show up to get everything they want; they show up to give everything they have."

I don't think all fighters, or champs have that same mentality.

What are some of your favourite inspirational quotes on the subject of martial arts, competition, fighting, training, victory, defeat, etc.? I'd love to hear them.

Humility is one of the aspects of fighting I find most interesting. All living things fight. But humility is a most uniquely human aspect of it. Anyone in martials arts knows there can be a Tao to it. Anyone who’s seen someone get beaten bad, or taken that L themselves, knows there’s a wisdom and a safety to it.

Both highlight the importance of resilience, growth, and humility in martial arts and competition.
 
"Champions do not choose opponents. As long as there's someone who can make 155, I'll fight anyone."

“What does this title represent? It means you are the best in the world and if you are the best in the world, it doesn’t matter who’s going to be standing across from you. What do I say? No? NEVER. Let’s do this!”

-Islam Makhachev
 
"If somebody can make 155, and the UFC say this guy is a contender, who cares? It doesn't matter. Brother, if King Kong can make 155, okay bring this guy here. Doesn't matter"

-Khabib Nurmagomedov

So great. I mean, this is what the belt SHOULD represent.

When I was a young fellow I was knocked down plenty. I wanted to stay down, but I couldn't. I had to collect the two dollars for winning or go hungry. I had to get up. I was one of those hungry fighters. You could have hit me on the chin with a sledgehammer for five dollars. When you haven't eaten for two days you'll understand.
