“Kids look at McGregor and see a big, hard fella with loads of tattoos. Kids have got long, floppy hair, they haven't got tattoos. They can identify with me.”
“Literally, I put a post on the Cage Warriors forum when I was 16 and I've had people hating on me since then, talking about me.”
“I don't know anyone who likes Bernardo Silva, lad. He's an unbelievable footballer. He's a proper baller. But he's a horrible wrong'un.”
“It's like my church, Anfield.”
“I took a pay cut to sign with the UFC.”
“Get me to a stadium, get me to Anfield and we will fill it.”
“It's nice to be nice and a lot of people in this world nowadays don't appreciate being nice to people and we don't treat each other how we'd like to be treated.”
“I'm a fat little kid at heart.”
“I'm weirder then anyone.”
“I'm just being myself, I don't like all these people that put on an act and make us look like WWE fighters and fools. You've got to be genuine, I always say it.”
“I know I'd rather have my mate cry on my shoulder than go to his funeral next week. So please, let's get rid of this stigma, and men, start talking.”
“The thing is, I always say is you've just got to be yourself. A lot of other UFC fighters maybe don't like it and think I'm getting a special 'push' from social media. I think I just put out better content.”
“I used to tell everyone to shut up and say I knew best - my coaches, my mum, my dad, my fiancee, my mates.”
“I always knew it wasn't a question of if the UFC would sign me, but when. I knew even if I turned them down a few times, they'd still come back with another offer after I won a few fights. That's what happened. I turned them down twice.”
“I've always got a point to prove no matter what.”
“I don't mention anyone's name or call anyone out because everyone has my name in their mouth. Why would I give someone else free publicity, mentioning their name?”
“After every fight, I've just ballooned up and started eating 8,000 calories a day.”
“I'm not shying away from fighting anyone.”
“I like being in exciting fights.”
“I wouldn't be anything without my wife Laura and my mum and dad who are all really there for me.”
