“Whenever I'm back in Liverpool and go out anywhere, I'm always seeing people, queues, or people waiting to get pictures with me.”

“I've got the personality, I've got the look.”

“I'm not head shaved, loads of tattoos, I'm just me.”

“I don't even dislike Renato Moicano. I actually like him. He's a funny guy. He's a cool dude. So me and him having a fight would be hilarious.”

“I'd love to do a season of 'The Ultimate Fighter' with Ilia Topuria, that would be hilarious.”

“I hated school. I mean, it's not like I don't like authority, but I don't like getting talked down to.”

“I'm never ever in a boring fight lad, I have to get a punch in the face to wake up.”

“It goes without saying: I wouldn't want to go to a different organization. UFC is the cream of the crop. It's the main place.”

“I just wish Jeremy Corbyn was still the Labour leader.”

“There's no easy fights in the UFC. It's that simple. There's no gimme fights.”

“Even in the gym my coaches are always telling me to keep my chin down, but I just get into scraps.”

“I love full English breakfasts.”

“I'll be in movies one day, lad. Don't worry about that. I'll be in films, 100%!”

“I'm not trying to be anything I'm not and I think people love me for that.”

“Anybody that says no to fight Conor is an idiot, simple as that.”

“That's what I try to do when I'm down in the dumps. Just make sure I'm going to the gym. Because if I don't go to gym and just sit in my house all day, I'll just get even more depressed and start over thinking even more.”

“I'm a real lightweight because I am one of the biggest lightweights in the division.”

“Obviously, I've got mates that I grew up with that don't come to the gym, but most of my mates are in the gym. Like, who I see all day every day. Going there for me is half therapeutic because I get to sit around and talk to all like-minded people.”

“I enjoy punching people in the face and getting punched in the face - and I know people like to watch that as a show.”

“I would like to fight in London, in front of my home crowd. It would be sick.”
