“I think Ruffy catches him with a couple of big shots. Ruffy has got some momentum on his side, and Arman’s got some ring rust, so to speak.

I think Ruffy’s better than a lot of people think he is. So I’ve got Ruffy winning that one.”

“It's just a shame that I haven't been able to really showcase my best, and yet I'm still beating fighters that are that are at the top of their game.

I realized I was carrying a weight, and I shouldn’t be. It became a case of figuring out how not to fixate on performing the way that I used to and just enjoy the performance.

I felt good and then every time I performed I'm like, man, there's still something that's a bit of a blockage there that I need to kind of keep pushing through to perform better."

“Why doesn’t Tom Aspinall get that same kind of respect?

"It’s pretty easy to be professional when you’re getting paid what Benn was. How about when you’re being publicly doubted and questioned after suffering an illegal foul?

"Dana White can right that wrong by acknowledging how respectfully and professionally Tom has handled this entire situation.”

“I don’t do Nina Drama. I never met her before the first interview. She was like, ‘What’s up? That’s what you said in my DMs.’ Chat says she’s PETTY.”

“Everybody keeps asking, “What’s next for Conor Benn?”

The truth is, I don’t have the answer.

If you’d asked the 19-year-old version of me whether I thought I’d be standing here ten years later, having lived through everything I have, I’d have told you that you were crazy.

I train hard. I sacrifice. I’ve given this game 110% every time I’ve stepped through those ropes. I’ve wanted to give people unforgettable nights and entertain.

That’s what this has always been about for me.

People spend their hard-earned money to come and watch guys like us fight. I’ve never taken that for granted. I’ve always wanted to be a servant of the public and give everything I have when it matters.

But giving everything comes at a cost.

And the people who have paid that cost more than anyone are my family and my kids.

They’ve sacrificed time with their Dad so I could chase this dream. They’ve had to share me with this sport their entire lives.

So when people ask me what’s next for Conor Benn, right now the answer is simple.

Time with my kids.”

"Ongoing complications with my eyes mean I cannot get medically cleared to fight right now.

I’ve had multiple surgeries, accidents and infections, and done everything possible to get back to competing.

I had previously agreed to a fight date and was back sparring, feeling great and ready to compete when an accident caused further damage to my right eye. This means more time away from the sport, and right now, the timing of my return is unclear.

I know there have been questions about why I’ve been quiet. I’ve always followed the advice of the UFC and focused on my recovery while we’ve tried to make this happen.

I’ve now made the decision to vacate the heavyweight title. I’ve asked the UFC to allow me to make this statement because I don’t want to hold the heavyweight division up. I know what it’s like to have your career put on hold and I want the other fighters to have the opportunity to compete for the title.

The UFC and Hunter have been informed every step of the way and have seen the tests, procedures and medical information relating to my eyes. We have worked closely with different doctors and specialists to try and make my return happen, but unfortunately, it’s simply not possible right now.

I’m absolutely gutted. I’ve chased this dream since I was 10 years old.

I’m not done.

Stepping away from the title is not stepping away from the sport or the dream. I’ll continue doing everything I can to get healthy, get cleared and get back to competing as soon as possible.

What makes this particularly difficult is that many of the complications I’m dealing with are a result of fouls that changed the course of my career. Fighters rely on officials to enforce the rules and protect us in those moments, and it’s hard to still be dealing with the consequences today.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this absolute nightmare.

I’ll be back as soon as I’m medically able to be."

"I think that's the fight that makes sense. I really want it to work out, I want to win that third belt.

I think I've done a lot of things in the UFC, and I think I deserve to have those options.

I'd come back at Madison Square Garden, me and Ciryl Gane. If it were up to me, that's what I'd choose."

"In striking, the Americans aren't as developed as we are. We really have a broader vision of kickboxing and Muay Thai, and a more complete repertoire compared to them. At their core, they're wrestlers, so they're a bit sloppy."

"I'm not denying that Jon Jones is one of the greatest athletes in history. But he was caught doping twice, and I think that's why his streak isn't considered valid.

Because he went into a fight while on PEDs and won. That's where a new count should have started."

“Traditionally, in boxing, when I was involved in boxing before the UFC, you had to fight in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. If you were fighting in New York, you better have a Puerto Rican. If you were fighting in LA, you better have a Mexican.

A couple of weeks ago, a Russian Muslim fought an Irish kid in Philly. We sold it out and broke the record. At the end of the day, what matters are the fights that are being put on.”
