“We come bulletproof in Ireland. We’re reared tough, and we fight.”

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

Trash talk? Smack talk? This is an American term that makes me laugh. I simply speak the truth. I’m an Irish man.

My family’s lineage, we are warriors. The McGregor clan, we are warriors all through.

Yes, sir, no, sir, clock in, clock out. Why were you late? Why are you not in today? That’s not how humans are supposed to live.

People like to blame others. I think a person should just look at their own situation, look around them, find out what they wish to do, and seek and go and do that. And that’s it.

I kind of love Cole Miller.

If I hit a man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers.

My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

Whether it was in a fight and how to react or whether it was in a stadium with screaming fans or whether I was in a fancy car or the best clothes ever, I always put myself somewhere.

Clean fighting solves everything. It ends all bad blood and any ill feelings people have. That’s my thoughts.

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.

My success isn’t a result of arrogance – it’s a result of belief.

Any top-level athlete, it’s always the same. There’s always that hint of arrogance there… It’s hard to be humble when you’re the best.

Muhammad Ali is a legend, a hero of mine.

To do anything to a high level, it has to be total obsession.

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.
