During an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Conor McGregor made a revelation. The Notorious was asked if he had considered getting a wild animal like Mike Tyson who famously had a tiger. To this, McGregor answered, “I tell you, Mike Tyson is the man. I mean heavyweight champ, had a damn tiger in his home.” When Kimmel informed McGregor that Tyson used to sleep in bed with the Tiger, McGregor said, “That’s insane.”

McGregor also said that he had given thought to have an exotic animal. The Notorious said, “I have honestly, truly, have been really give a serious thought to get myself an exotic animal, and a tiger would be right up there.”

The chest tattoo of Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor’s gorilla tattoo on his chest has become widely popular. After the Irishman, many fans and some fighters tried to do the same. However, this tattoo also holds significance for the Irishman.

During an interview with Conan O’Brien, McGregor spoke about his chest tattoo. While tattoos hold some significance for those who get them, that wasn’t the case with McGregor. He got the gorilla tattooed on his chest simply because he liked it. McGregor said, “I don’t know. You always hear people talk about their tattoos. They have this kind of special meaning, but I just like the way it looks for me.”

“I wish I could say that it had some special meaning. You hear people say they have a goldfish on their a** cheek and it’s a symbol of hope or something stupid like that. I just like the way it looks.”
