kings mean july
My name, the McGregor name, my family's motto ... means royal is in my blood. That goes way back. So for [Aldo] to say he is the king and I am the joker, if this was a different time, I would invade his favela on horseback and kill anyone that was not fit to work. But we are in a new time. So I'll whoop his ass in July.
moving mean knowing-everything
I mean I love movement. I mean the energy that comes from the way I move. We get energy from how we move. I mean the control I get from knowing everything about how my body feels and how it is working.
sports football mean
Ask José Mourinho, he wouldn't know a thing about me, my sport - he knows football, and to get to high levels you have to be insane, nothing else means anything.
sports football mean
To do anything to a high level it has to be total obsession. Ask José Mourinho, he wouldn't know a thing about me, my sport - he knows football, and to get to high levels you have to be insane, nothing else means anything. I respect all forms of movement and lifestyles, but I am in a bubble. I wake up, it is in my head; I go to sleep, it's in my head, 24/7.
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.

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

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

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.
