UFC names top 30 in-cage interviews of all time: Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Brock Lesnar, and more

It’s the UFC’s 30th anniversary year and with that comes a celebration of the promotion’s decorated and memorable history from being on the verge of extinction to a multibillion dollar sports entity.

Throughout the year, the organization is counting down top 30 lists of significant moments in UFC history, the latest of which includes the most notable in-cage interviews.

From epic callouts of future opponents by the likes of Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor and Chael Sonnen, to impromptu moments from the likes of Brock Lesnar, Jon Jones and Derrick Lewis, there have been some iconic words said inside the octagon after the winner has been decided.

Check below for the UFC’s in-cage interview countdown, which features plenty of Joe Rogan holding the microphone.
