This was originally part of my UFC 109 Live Blog, but in case you missed it, here's the quotes I picked out from the telecast along with some added context...

Joe Rogan: "That was the story of 2009 in the UFC. So many injuries, so may great fights canceled or postponed."

Mike Goldberg in response: "Joe Silva aged about ten years in 2009."

Joe Rogan after the cornermen first attempted to clear ice from a broken ice pack after the first round of the Melvin Guillard-Ronys Torres fight: "Get back in there, you're not done. There's ice all over the floor. There's a hundred pieces of ice still all over the floor... Those cornermen, somebody needs to kick their ass... I still a couple of pieces. I don't want anyone to fall and hit their head. This is ridiculous."

Mike Goldberg in response: "We need a Zamboni."

Joe Rogan: "[Mac] Danzig has publicly stated that if he loses to Justin Bockholz he doesn't belong in UFC. That's a pretty bold statement, but probably correct."

Joe Rogan on down strike elbows being banned in MMA: "It's ridiculous. It's not about safety, it's about ignorance. That's a dumb rule. It's not even the most powerful elbow."

Mac Danzig after his close victory: "I do my best not to ever underestimate anybody, but I don't think I gave him enough credit. This division is so deep. These other guys, no offense to the heavyweights, they don't understand what it's like to fight in this division. Even the guys toward the bottom of the rankings in the UFC are world class."

Joe Rogan: "This is a huge, huge fight for Frank Trigg. So huge he grew out his hair. When's the last time you saw Frank Trigg with hair?"

Mike Goldberg in response: "I don't know if it was was a great decision."

Joe Rogan: "It is a long road to get from being great as a grappler to being great as a striker. They are so completely different. It's like going from football to baseball."

Mike Goldberg in response: "It didn't work out for Bo Jackson."

Joe Rogan: "It's all heating up in 2010, bitches."

Joe Rogan: "So much of this game is about putting your mind into that perfect place. Not too relaxed, not too tense. That performance zone."

Joe Rogan on Nate Marquardt before his fight against Chael Sonnen: "This guy is one of the most well-rounded fighters in all of mixed martial arts. He's excellent at everything. He's one of the best fighters in all of the divisions."

Chael Sonnen: "I believe I can beat any man God ever made."

Mike Goldberg on Couture vs. Coleman: "Maybe they were supposed to meet in 1997, but they're here meeting in 2010."
