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.

Getting enough protein is important when I train, to help build muscle and recover, so I'll supplement with protein shakes.

Sometimes the truth hurts. It hurts because they have a weakness - and I exploit weakness.

I'm not a fan of routine.

I will cross that bridge when it comes. I am not stupid. I am a very bright guy. I know that in the fighting game, you get people who get brain damage and do themselves long-term harm. I am into it in a big way, and I am good at it, and I am going to get very, very rich and then I will get out and we will see what comes after that.

Pain is part of the sport.

One of the reasons I got into this game was because I wanted to learn how to get myself comfortable in uncomfortable situations. I grew up in a tough area of Dublin, and fighting was just part of your life. Boys fight, and I won some, but I lost a lot too, and I didn't like that, I didn't like that feeling of not knowing whether I was in danger, in trouble.
