What's up GQ is the notorious Conor mcgregor and these
are my essentials proper. Number 12, the smoothest
Irish whiskey on the market and my new forged Irish
stout, the creamiest stout in the land. 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 Irish are the world
champions at making whiskey. That's how I was raised
. I had offers to do adverts and things like
that 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 part of that distillery
and began making my own whiskey proper. Number 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 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 calms 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, 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 American football team. Like give me an American
football team. 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, which is a quote I believe
, you know, there's no talent here. This
is hard work. This is an obsession. Both
of these clothes are very, very 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 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 as a gift from my mother.
And this is Archangel Michael's sword, which is on
it. Also, I also have another one for
Saint Christopher, which is S Christopher is to protect
you on your travels. And that was given to
me by my Children and my fiance. We,
we, we're a religious family and we trust in
God and believe in God. I have three Children
. I have 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 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
going 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 ok then I
suppose but now as he's getting to an age of
understanding that he will go to work and I will
be home to wait for me at home. The
last one I did, I, I done that
. I felt better. I felt I was in
the right headspace. I had a horrific injury in
, in, in, in the belt, but
I was in a place where I needed to be
. My family were there present. I was happy
with that. That's not the say we don't be
training. I don't not train my Children to matter
. That's because I do. I'm getting great work
out of my son, Conor Junior. Now he's
starting to really, he's loading the back hand,
he's rolling under the punches, he's adding combinations together
and we're having fun and if he wants to go
and compete or my daughter or my son, my
other son Ryan, if they want to compete in
a few years, they can, I've got many
great watches. This one in particular is very special
because it comes from a Irish jeweler named the Wear
and Sons, which is, you know, one
of the most known jewelers in Ireland. And this
watch is a Patek Philippe, which is a very
exclusive watchmaker. 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 heard 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
enough, 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
Lorenzo Fertitta who was the former owner of the UFC
at the time, he gifted me a solid gold
Rolex sky dweller. So after the bout, I
won the belt a knockout in the first round was
a mega successful event. And we all went out
for dinner with the Fertitta 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 to 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 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 120 ft
triple deck. So see a beautiful super yacht that
we live on essentially, I live on the yacht
and most people don't know. I have the big
, big one, but I've got this magic one
which is the Lamborghini yacht. That was the first
person to acquire the Lamborghini that was made by the
Italian C group. In conjunction with Lamborghini. It's
a, it's a rocket ship. The title 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 2000 brake horsepower engine.
So it's 4000 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
in my life. I'm eternally grateful. I'm indebted
. I reached out to one of my fans who
makes figurines. He takes parts of each figurine and
puts them together to make, he made me essentially
made a few different ones of me. I reached
out to him, brought him into the UFC Octagon
Center, but I love my fans dearly and they
support me dearly and I'm very, very grateful and
I work, I work for that. Another thing
that's very important to me is my public house,
the black four Jan. It's actually the world's most
famous pub. Now it's the most followed pub on
social media. The produce in there, as I
said about Irish produce is second to none. A
lot of people don't know about our food and it's
been a, been a roaring success. It's in
my hometown of Dublin 12. So it's a provider
for the community. It brings a lot of tourism
to the area. There's people all over the world
I visited. Very, very proud of it.
It's been my family's local all my life. When
I had the opportunity to buy it, I bought
, I bought it and I renovated it. It's
like a unicorn in the area. My local gyms
, Crumlin boxing club and SBG straight blast gym,
Ireland Crum and boxing club is obviously where I learned
how to box and straight blasting. Ireland is where
I learned mixed martial arts, such important factors in
the community. There's all levels, kids, amateurs
, all the way up to pros. They're just
great places full of great people, all volunteering and
giving back to the community, changes, people's lives
, it changed my life and these GS are very
, very dear to my heart. Thank you so
much guys. I hope you learned a little bit
about me and my essentials.
