It was another action-packed night inside the UFC Octagon at UFC 206 with highs, lows, up and downs for all involved.

Here are what the winners, and some of the losers, had to say after their fights at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada.
 

Max Holloway def. Anthony Pettis via TKO (punches) Round 3, 4:50

Max Holloway:

“I asked you guys earlier in the week about Jose Waldo. Where is Jose Waldo? Tell him to meet me in Brooklyn in February."

Anthony Pettis:

“Max Holloway is a beast. He did this right. He stood up with me and he got the belt. He’s a good fighter. It’s too much for me to make this weight cut to 145 lbs. I have to go back up, it’s too hard."
 

Donald Cerrone def Matt Brown via KO (head kick), Round 3, 0:34

Donald Cerrone:

"It was a tough fight. When you're in there you really have to dig deep. After I took a couple of punches I said, 'Hell no, not today, baby!’ The head kick was there. I saw him feinting to that side and I went for it.  I want to fight in Denver, Colorado against anyone who will sign on the dotted line."
 

Doo Ho Choi def. Cub Swanson via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)

Cub Swanson:

"It was such a good fight. I was exhausted, but there was no way I was going to quit.  I felt like I was being disrespected with him calling me out on twitter. I felt like he was judging me on my last two fights against grapplers.

“It got me focused on showing him everything that I can do and I trained my ass off. Never doubt me again”

Doo Ho Choi:

"I picked Cub in a winning interview. I really believed I was going to win. I’m going to train even more and I’m not going to lose again. 

“This may sound a little silly but my cornermen and myself are both big fans of Cub Swanson. Apart from the rankings, I really wanted to fight this guy and I really believed I was going to win.”
 

Kelvin Gastelum def. Tim Kennedy via TKO (punches), Round 3, 2:45

Kelvin Gastelum:

"He's very durable and I knew I was in for a dogfight. But I was confident in my preparation and I was confident in my ability.  If they give me a fight at middleweight that I want, I will stay at 185. If no fight interests me, I will drop to 170 and fight a No. 1 contender. I want a No. 1 contender and believe I deserve a No. 1 contender.”
 

Emil Weber Meek def. Jordan Mein via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Emil Meek:

"It was amazing. It's something I've been working on my whole life. To win in my UFC debut on the main card was incredible.  He's a tough guy. It took a lot of heart. I had a lot of fans that came here to support me. Without them I wouldn't have managed to pull it out.

Jordan Mein:

“I feel a little sluggish. I took some good shots and recovered from them so that was a positive for me. I was just trying to switch it up as much as I could from striking, to kicking, to takedowns, I think I did that. Ran out of breath basically and couldn’t finish some of the takedowns.
 

Misha Cirkunov def. Nikita Krylov via submission (guillotine), Round 1, 4:38

Misha Cirkunov:

"I'm just happy. MMA is my religion. It means the whole world to me. I'm on the verge of crying. I'm the only one who knew this was going to happen. I gambled the world on myself and my career and I did it. 

“If I have half the work-ethic of my grandmother, I know I can accomplish anything. I definitely belong in the top 10. I'm on an eight-fight win streak since I dropped my coach. I'd like to fight Mauricio Shogun Rua. If I fight a big name like that, more than just Toronto will see my potential. The whole world will see my potential.”

Nikita Krylov:

"I'm not happy. It didn’t go the way I wanted it to go. I just want to fight."
 

Olivier Aubin-Mercier def. Drew Dober via submission (rear-naked choke), Round 2, 2:57

Olivier Aubin-Mercier:

"I'm really happy with the win. I'm still at the point where I can improve. He was a really tough opponent, my toughest opponent so far, so I got a little emotional after the win. But I'm an emotional guy.  I'd like to fight Andrew Holbrook next. He just beat Jake Matthew and I think it would be a good challenge right now.”

Drew Dober:

"It was unfortunate. He got the rhythm first and I wasn’t able to capitalize on a successful knockdown and he accomplished the reverse and choked. I was trying to avoid the takedowns and make the fight as exciting as possible. I feel like I did that but unfortunately I gave up one and he took it.”
 

Matthew Lopez def. Mitch Gagnon via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-27)

Matthew Lopez:

"He got off to a fast start. But there was no quit in me today! I wasn't going to quit.  A lot of people came out to see Cormier and Johnson and they wanted to see a good show. I tried to give them a good show. This win means I get to keep on fighting in the UFC. It means a lot to me.”

Mitch Gagnon:

“I started off good and kinda faded in the last couple of rounds. I thought I was going to be the one putting the pressure on but he’s the one that turned it on. That’s just the way it goes.”
 

Lando Vannata def. John Makdessi via KO (head kick), Round 1, 1:40

Lando Vannata:

 “I practiced that kick about 2,000 times in camp and I knew it was going to work. I was planning on using it and I knew he couldn't stop it. I expected it to be successful. I'm ready for whoever they want to give me next."
 

Rustam Khabilov def. Jason Saggo via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Rustam Khabilov:

“I didn't expect an easy fight, he's a tough guy. I wanted the finish, but I couldn’t get the finish.

“I'm happy with the win.  I was focused more on my striking in this camp with my coach, Roberto Flamingo, and it really helped."

Jason Saggo:

“Rustam was a tough opponent. His wrestling, he did well taking me down and I just wasn’t able to get back up off my back. He won the fight and deserved the win.”
 

Dustin Ortiz def. Zach Makovsky via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Dustin Ortiz:

"The key was to out hustle him out move him and break him. I knew I had to keep moving and keep busy. He didn't surprise me with anything, I thought I could have even done better.

“This fight meant everything for me to stay in the UFC. I was thankful for the opportunity. It was a chance for me to start again."

Zach Makovsky:

“I was a little hesitant more than I wanted to be. Sloppy transitions, I gave him the top position. I think most of the time he ended up on top of me was because of my mistakes. I felt like I was doing the right things just a little sloppy, not so tight.

“He was more slippery that I anticipated. I couldn’t keep a hold of him on top and I think ultimately that’s what lost me the fight."
