“I’d love to go into WWE and have a real knock and see what’s what.”

You might be tough, but you can only be so tough for so long, you know what I mean? The brain can only take so much damage. The body can only take so much damage.

I am not afraid of saying something and going and pursuing it. That’s it. I see it in my mind. I say it out loud. I go and do it.

I used to pretend that my Peugeot driving to the gym in the rain in Dublin was a Ferrari on the Vegas strip.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‘What a waste of energy.’

When I prepare, I am not messing around. I find the right places, the right people, and the right environment. Iceland is one of those places.

There’s people that tried to celebrate when I lost that got nothing to do with it. That’s not the sign of a champion.

It could be if I fight in front of one person or one million people. It’s still the same emotions.

I like to look good, my friend.

I’m in the game of spinning plates. I’m spinning a boxing plate. I’m spinning a Tae Kwon Do plate. I’m spinning a Jujitsu plate. I’m spinning a freestyle wrestling plate. I’m spinning a karate plate. If I was to put all them down and have one boxing plate spinning, it would be like a load off my shoulders.

I’m going to change the way martial arts is viewed. I’m going to change the game. I’m going to change the way people approach fighting.

Some people take defeat and losses a certain way. You see how some fighters take losses.

I enjoy competition. I enjoy challenges. If a challenge is in front of me and it appeals to me, I will go ahead and conquer it.

You might win some, you might lose some. But you go in, you challenge yourself, you become a better man, a better individual, a better fighter.

I sleep people. I put people unconscious. I’m stating facts.

I want to be an expert in different fighting styles, new training methods, new ways of thinking.

The only time my records are going to be broken is by my own spawn. I’m going be training that child out the womb.
