Now if I’ve that from a southpaw perspective, I’m twice the problem I already am, and it’s one thing I’ve been engaged on and one thing you will notice on Saturday night time.”
“I may beat Neil Magny on three minutes discover, anyplace on the earth. I didn’t must take any time to consider taking it. It’s the combat I known as for after my final combat, as a result of Neil has loads of respect in his identify. He’s sport. He possesses challenges. He’s lengthy, he’s lanky, he’s sturdy. He’s powerful. He beats lots of people he shouldn’t beat as a result of he drags individuals into his combat. I’m a totally completely different fighter. I’m younger, I’m clever. I’m sensible.

I would like all of it by the point I’m preventing for a world title. I’ve bought 4 extra flights in my thoughts. I’m going to beat Neil Magny on Saturday night time. I then need to beat two guys ranked between #10 and #5, after which two guys within the prime 5, so for me, I’m 4 fights away earlier than I even take a look at a title shot. The quantity of prospects I’ve seen on this sport – rush, rush, rush – and so they get into the highest ten. They go for a title combat solely to get beat, after which they go on the skid.
“Firstly, I’m very blessed, I don’t need to combat for cash. I combat for enjoyment. Lots of people do it as a result of they want the cash and so they put themselves in a monetary state of affairs the place they’re not as sensible as I’m exterior of the cage. So I’m not preventing for cash. I’m preventing for legacy. I’m preventing for pleasure. I’m preventing to go away my identify on this sport within the historical past books without end. I don’t must rush. So 4 extra fights – that provides me a yr, or a yr and a half, to develop extra wrestling offense and protection, extra jujitsu offense and protection, and develop my putting expertise. It can simply imply that after I combat for that world title, I’m going to be ten instances extra elite than I’m proper now, and that individual in two years time is unbeatable.
“I’m not the best wrestler on the earth. I’m not the best jiu jitsu practitioner on the earth, I’m not the best striker on the earth, I’m not the best MMA fighter on the earth, but. However I’m studying from among the greats. I labored with Gilbert Burns and Felipe Pena lately, who’re among the greatest grapplers the world’s ever seen and world champions in jiu jitsu. I’ve chopped it up and realized from the likes of Leon Edwards and Stephen Thompson. Henry Hooft and Henry Clemson are wonderful putting coaches, wonderful those that I can join with and that assist me develop.”

“I’m coming again to Eire per week after this combat and I’m going to be coming again as a ranked fighter within the prime ten of the UFC, which goes to be such a particular feeling. So carrying that flag, carrying that banner, and being Irish, and being the following celebrity out of Eire within the UFC, it’s so highly effective and it’s so particular to be from such a small nation and obtain such nice issues. I really like Eire and the individuals of Eire and I simply need the individuals of Eire to be excited by my journey.”
“It must be within the Three area in Dublin, Eire as my dream venue as a result of they’re by no means going to go to Croke Park. And the dream opponent can be me versus Khamzat Chimeav as a result of everybody talks about him like he’s this badman and this boogeyman, however in time I’m going get an opportunity to put arms on him, – if he’s the baddest man that everybody is afraid of – i’m going to point out the world what’s up. He’d be my dream opponent in Eire. I would like that f**king wolf. I would like that badman.
