How to use champion in a sentence?

1. Martin Appleton-Clare:

   I saw the pies when I came in and it was a little bit daunting, but we got into the nitty gritty, second time champion, I'm happy with the performance.

2. Agnieszka Radwanska:

   When I go and play against Serena Williams, you have nothing really to lose, Serena Williams is number one in the world and a great champion, it doesn't matter what the score is. It's never over, Serena Williams's a great fighter. I'm just very happy that I could come back after that second set and play my good game in the third set.

3. Jeffrey Klausner:

   While there are advocates and champions for cancer, nobody is out there saying, ‘I have gonorrhea and these are the best ways to treat it,’ there’s no one out there being a champion for these conditions.

4. Frankie Edgar:

   I’m never one to call anybody out or pick anybody. I usually let the UFC and Ali kind of figure that out, but I’ll say a name just because I think it’s more of a legacy fight and I know he has a fight coming up and who knows how it could happen, but I think Dominick Cruz. He was a champion at 135 when I was the champion at 155. We were both pretty much top of the division. I think that could be an interesting fight.

   Look at who needs to partner, there has to be a champion at the table that’s going to push for this.
