and these are very very important to me big Mega businesses a lot of people behind them supporting this and building this I was raised by my grandfather who instilled in us that are are the world champions at making whiskey that's how I was raised I had offers to do adverts and and and things like that with with other whiskey companies I refused the money I wanted to learn more about the business the industry I wanted to learn more about the process of how it is made and I went sourcing for where I would make my whiskey and I sourced a distillery in Ireland which is the oldest distillery in Ireland and the largest distillery in Ireland and I hired out a a part of that Distillery and began making my own whiskey proper number [Music] 12 this is next Generation pain relief it is the world's first topical cryotherapy spray it is loaded with plant healing power and this is a must for me combat sport is a very tough tough business and I I wake up with this I spray it on on any aches and pains and niggles and it gets me started on my day it cools it Cals and this is an essential for me title sport cryotherapy spray also we've got our mixed martial arts gloves these gloves the UFC gloves are so symbolic and you know it was a dream come true to put the to put the gloves on with the three letters it would be akin to a young football player or a soccer player putting on a jersey of Manchester United or an American football team like give me an American football team name the cowboy the Cowboys the Cowboys it's significant that you've made it these other ones are my ones my rendition of my company McGregor fast so they're a bit more padded they're a bit more training based they've got one of my quotes on here here which is a quote I believe you know there's no Talent here this is hard work this is an obsession both of these glowes are very very uh important to me when I train in and when I compete in a lot of people may know may not know I am a holy man a very holy man Catholic and Irish Catholic and my mother instilled it in us and it was instilled in her and I carry on me at all times a chain and this chain this chain currently that I have on is archangel Michael so Archangel Michael is to protect you is to focus on good over evil it says love Ma on it this a gift from my mother and this is Archangel Michael's sword which is on it also I also have another one for St Christopher which is St Christopher is to protect you on your travels and that was gifted to me by my children and my fiance we're we're we're a religious family and we trust in God and believe in God I have three children I've one on the way and a lovely fiance I love them very much so it's tough being away from them right now while they're at home but I carry my phone with me you know which is also dear to me because my phone has images of my family I spend most of my time when I'm away just on the phone you know looking at pictures of myself with the family a little bit emotional sometimes when when you're watching them there's my little daughter I I do bring them to the fights I didn't I didn't bring them to the last one and I don't know how I'm going to approach it on forward I may not bring them going forward because fighting is a crazy game you know it's not really for the children he was a little bit Young too young to even understand what was going on so it was okay then I suppose but now as he's getting to an age of understanding uh daddy will go to work and I will be home they'll wait for me at home the last one I did I I done that I felt better I felt I was in the right head space I had a a horrific injury in in in in the bout but I was in a place where I needed to be my family weren't there present I was happy with that that's not to say we don't be training Mar I do not train my children in martial arts because I do I'm getting great work out of my son Conor junr now he's starting to really he's loading the backand he's rolling under the punches he's adding combinations together and we're having fun and if he wants to go and compete on my daughter or my son my old son ran if they want to compete in a few years they they [Music] can I've got many great watches this one in particular is very special because it comes from a Irish Jeweler named the Weir and Sons which is you know one of the most known Jewelers in Ireland and this watch is a pek Philip which is a very exclusive watch maker they made this watch specifically for wear and Sons Jewelers in Ireland and you know it's got the Irish colors there's only 25 of them made and you know I had to get it you know you ever hear the term you got to fake it till you make it you know before anything I was getting the fake ones I was rocking the fake ones like this but proud you know funny of my first ever real watch that I had got was a gift post UFC Dublin which was in 2013 and it was a gift for me from luren Enzo hertia who was the former owner of the UFC at the time he gifted me a a solid gold Rolex Sky dweller so after the belt I won the belt a knockout in the first round was a mega successful event we all went out for dinner with the fertita family and they gifted me this Rolex it was my first real watch before that I was at the press conference wearing a fake one but you know you got a fake it to make it you know I used to drive a broke down Banger of a car and in my head that was a Ferrari so I was able to almost you know just believe it into [Music] reality I love the sea I love the open air I love the freedom of being at Sea and the peace and tranquility and for me it was always a dream of mine to acquire a boat I currently have two I have two Yachts I have a 120t uh triple deck Sunseeker a beautiful super yacht that we live

Lamborghini yacht that was made by the Italian sea group in conjunction with Lamborghini it's a uh it's a rocket ship they titled it the Supercar of the sea it may have been an Impulse buy at the time I seen it I put a down payment straight away I had already got the big one but I have had such a great time on it so much fun two twin turbo uh 2,000 brake horsepower engine so it's 4,000 brake horsepower all in an absolute rocket ship I love it I love my fans dearly I do all of this for my fans you know my family and my fans the fans have supported me through many ups and downs of my life
