mma overcoming
You must improvise, adapt, and overcome.
believe talent
I don't believe in talent. Talent doesn't exist.
morning sleep wrestling
Sometimes I train in the middle of the night, all on my own. Can't sleep, don't want to sleep, get up, go to the gym, work. This is early for me, being here at half ten in the morning, this is really early, and I'm only here because I screwed up yesterday and kept you hanging around. Other times I'll call up my wrestling coach, or my jiu jitsu coach, or my deep-tissue guy, and want to really focus on one part of what I do. I train in all these different disciplines.
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.
art doubt action
Doubt is only removed by action. If you're not working then that's where doubt comes in.
healthy problem
In general, I like the healthy stuff and don't really have a problem with any of it.
mma secret ingredients
It's not really that much of a big deal - you brush it off and you come back. Defeat is the secret ingredient to success.
humble cocky ufc
I’m cocky in prediction, I’m confident in preparation, but I am always humble in victory or defeat.
mma people proving-people-wrong
I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. Keep proving people wrong and proving myself right.
morning water important
It's important to stay hydrated - first thing I do in the morning is stretch and drink water.
men mma oxygen
I fear no man. If you breathe oxygen, I do not fear you.
atheist believe thinking
I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think what a waste of energy. If people want to believe in this god, or that god, that's fine by me, believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.
mma clear ifs
If you have a clear picture in your head of something that's going to happen... then nothing can stop it.
important helping enough
Getting enough protein is important when I train, to help build muscle and recover, so I'll supplement with protein shakes.
