Quote of the Year

All of us

• Derrick Lewis at UFC 229: "My balls was hot"...“I forgot a few hours before the fight, Donald Trump called me and told me I got to knock this Russian motherfucker out. They making him look bad on the news, him and Putin and shit. Shit what they talking about? USA in this ho.”...“I need to sit my black ass down and do some more cardio. Shit, what you talking about right now? I ain’t trying to fight for no title right now, not with no gas tank like that.”...“Thanks for having me. Hey, next week or maybe two weeks from now, I’m gonna come on your show and smoke some weed with you.”
