thinking feelings sitting
I daydream too. I visualise. I think ahead, I can do it now, sitting here. I think ahead to the walk-in, I can hear the crowd, the music, I can feel the cameras all around me, I can feel movements in my body as I am heading there, I can bring up that incredible feeling you get when you step into the cage.
thinking space feelings
You need to be able to hit, kick, grapple, wrestle, but for me so much of this is about the mind, about feeling you are in complete control of the space around you, and you know what to do at any moment. That is a wonderful feeling, but it doesn't just happen, you have to work for it, train for it, think about it all the time.
rain car feelings
I used to imagine it. I used to pretend that my Peugeot driving to the gym in the rain in Dublin was a Ferrari on the Vegas strip. And now that I have that? I can't even describe that feeling. That's why I like the best - the best cars, the best food, the best watches.
feelings looking-good
I like looking good. But it's also about the feeling, right?
moved onto people
People say that I'm a boxer. I actually started with kick boxing, and then I moved onto boxing, and then I moved onto grappling.
handle people truth
The thing about the truth is, not a lot of people can handle it.
ups
There's many ups and downs in the fight game.
simply smack term trash truth
Trash talk? Smack talk? This is an American term that makes me laugh. I simply speak the truth. I'm an Irish man.
careers certain chase fighters hear work
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.
ali muhammad
Muhammad Ali is a legend, a hero of mine.
approach arts change martial people
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.
We come bulletproof in Ireland. We're reared tough, and we fight.
creates excitement negative time
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.
beating crap good job loads paid
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.
