In a 2020 interview with Tony Robbins, McGregor appealingly called himself an “Irish Animal”, and the host couldn’t help but give an admiring look. On whether he follows any rituals, the former UFC double champion responded, “You know… I’m figuring out my rituals… only recently… only yesterday I was like every time I wake now I’ll put on a song. I start every day with a dance and feel myself…”

He then threw some light on what he felt about himself. “Who am I? I know who I am. I am an Irish animal. A proper Irish animal, my career is a career of never been done befores. No Irishman has done what I have done. I opened up pathways for my people. We came steaming through the door… Thanks to my belief and my hard work,” said Conor McGregor as he smiled with pride.
