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

The more you seek the uncomfortable, the more you will become comfortable.

Many people don’t understand ring control. They think they do until they’re against someone who really understands how to set traps, how to create holes in the octagon that they fall into.

I always put myself out there. I’m not afraid to commit to something.

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

If they let people go fight jiu-jitsu tournaments, they can’t stop me going to fight a boxing fight.

I’ve read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home, I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I’ve read because he is, like, a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I’m not a big reader.

This guy’s a clown! He’s just all talk!’ I’ve heard that many times in my career. And then they’re sleeping in the middle of the octagon.

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.

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.

We all have stories for a reason, and if we keep them to ourselves, I don’t feel they would help anybody.

I knew I was as good as anybody. That’s not really bragging; it’s just that I’d put the time in.

I’m eighteen years behind in my ironing. There’s no use doing it now, it doesn’t fit anybody I know.

I am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians. I’ll work with Martians. If – and the if is critical – they’re willing to cut spending and reduce the debt.

So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He’s not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.

I don’t have to be anybody I’m not.

I don’t know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody – somewhere – was practicing more than me.
