water healthy trying
I try to eat healthy all the time. I don't eat takeaways. I drink mostly water or coconut water.
sports thinking people
People do what they think works for them, but the sport is about instinct, movement, balance, power... it's too animalistic to get rigid about your training.
sports pain
Pain is part of the sport.
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.
speak speak-the-truth concerned
As far as I'm concerned, I just speak the truth.
sweet fighting serious
If I could bust out and eat anything... if I ever stop fighting, I could put on some serious weight with sweets.
animal
I don't use machines - animals don't use machines.
brilliant cage came european forever giving grateful great guys platform warriors
Cage Warriors is a brilliant organisation. They're doing great things for European MMA, and they're giving the platform for guys like me who came through. They're vital. I'm forever grateful for the opportunities I got.
overcoming speed enough
Power and speed aren't enough to overcome someone who is strategic, who knows what you'll do before you do it and can turn it on you; someone who is mentally engaged and combines the whole package.
carry represent time
I carry the flag of Ireland all the time. I want to represent my country.
fighting training consistent
My diet is usually pretty consistent whether I'm training for a specific fight or not. I don't like to mess too much with it.
style obsessed train
I feel it when I need to train and I do what I feel like I need to do. I don't get obsessed with one style or one skill.
making-a-difference week train
It makes a difference when you've got more than two months versus two weeks to train for a particular opponent.
fighting psychological
A fight is mental, not just physical and psychological warfare is absolutely part of that.
