CONOR MCGREGOR

It's good to make your brain work more than your body.

I'm just trying to be myself. I'm not trying to be anyone else.

Competition gives me energy. It keeps me focused.

That's what I do this for, to secure my family's future. I don't care about anything else. I'm able to spoil people, and that's the best thing.

I don't feel bitterness, I don't feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

Cage Warriors is a brilliant organisation. They're doing great things for European MMA, and they're giving the platform for guys like me who came through. They're vital. I'm forever grateful for the opportunities I got.

I like to look good, my friend.

I don't feel pressure in a negative way. I like pressure. I feel excitement and calm at the same time. No pressure, no diamonds. I want pressure: pressure creates drama, creates emotion.

I don't fight in chase of an individual. I hear this sometimes where fighters work their whole careers to reach a matchup with a certain individual. I do not think in that way.

I train and I go home, and when I'm home, I think about training. That's my life every day, and that's it.

I have a self-defense mind. I've had it all my life.

I always teach myself calm and visualization stuff.

What can I say? I'm a talker.

I have the greatest job in the world. I get paid loads of cash for beating the crap out of people. And I'm very good at it.

The thing about the truth is, not a lot of people can handle it.

Glutes are power.

I knew I'd be in the UFC since I started my career.

The mixed martial arts way of life will give you focus.

There's many ups and downs in the fight game.

I don't look at a man who's expert in one area as a specialist. I look at him as a rookie in ten other areas.

Muhammad Ali is a legend, a hero of mine.

When I am free to train and free to move, I feel like a gorilla in the jungle. Then, when there are a bunch of media obligations, I feel like I have been captured and am being kept on display.

Life is about growing and improving and getting better.

I see fighters make funny videos about me and stick them on Facebook and get 20 likes. When I make a video, I sell it to Fox and make seven figures. That's the difference.

I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I'm inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.
