"“We're all going to die some day, so live every day like it's the last.”"
"“People talk about now, 'oh there's a lack of star power in the UFC.' I'm probably like top three superstars in the UFC. Who've you got, [Alex] Pereira, Ilia [Topuria], me? We're probably the three big names when you think superstar. So headlining, obviously, again obviously. Life's good man. The only thing that's different is I'm making a lot more money. Got more of a team here, there's more people. Going to the Trump hotels, get a suite sometimes. I bought a hat, USA let's go. Things are good.”"
"“That's the dream, to be active and fight. I have people messaging me thinking that I don't like fighting. 'Is it true you don't like to fight?' I'm literally in the UFC, I f*cking love fighting. If I'm not fighting, it's because I literally cannot.”"
"“Maybe I had too much fun, but I felt great in there, I felt like I dis enough. I felt too good, honestly I felt too good. I was like 'f*ck this is sick, I feel great.' Maybe that, yeah. Dunno, maybe don't have as much fun.”"
Arnold Allen headlines UFC Vegas 117 against Melquizael Costa after a media day session that included breakfast and humor. Allen advises living each day fully because everyone will die someday. He responds to claims of limited star power by naming himself among the UFC’s biggest superstars and linking his headlining role to improved earnings and support. He welcomes a quick turnaround and says he loves fighting, only missing bouts when unable. After a Jean Silva loss, he suggests he may have had too much fun and felt overly good in the moment. He praises Costa’s skills and record while noting that evaluating Brazilian fighters can be difficult due to the level of opponents faced.
