Conor McGregor made an appearance on Conan on Thursday night, and had another shining moment when given the opportunity. Though he was allowed to continue putting forth a false narrative regarding Jose Aldo's injury, the charismatic Irishman was right at home in the interviewee chair, and had plenty to say on a number of topics.

McGregor in his own words:


On studying animal movement: "Yeah 100%, movement is something that I'm obsessed with. And animal movement is most certainly one of those. To watch animals in their natural habitat and how they hunt and prey is pretty spectacular... I am fascinated by the gorilla. My gym's logo is a gorilla, their posture and their balance and their control of their core is something special."

On superstition: "No, I feel superstition is another form of fear. If you need something to happen a certain way, or you need to wear a pair of lucky jocks or whatever, and them lucky jocks aren't there and you freak out, it's another form of fear... [Abstaining from sex] is most certainly a superstition that I do not abide by (laughs). I definitely have as much sex as possible."

On his gorilla-eating-a-heart chest tattoo: "Yeah, it's nice and low key (laughs). You always hear people talking about tattoos that they have this kind of special meaning, but I just like the way it looks for me. You hear people say they have a goldfish on their ass cheek and it means it's a symbol of hope or something stupid like that. I just like the way it looks, so I got it... There were a few factors in it, like I said earlier my gym's logo is a gorilla, it's not that particular gorilla, but it is a gorilla so I wanted to get something along them lines. I feel like I am the king gorilla so I stuck the king's crown [there]. And I had him eat a heart. It felt like we were going in the right direction."

On Jose Aldo "backing out" of UFC 189: "The man is running scared. I cannot force a man who is not willing to step in [to] fight. I cannot force him into the Octagon to face me. But really I cannot hold any grudge towards him because I would not want to face me either. I was going to destroy him... He has been medically cleared to fight. Doctors have looked at him. Examined him. He went and saw a gynecologist and it turns out it's just a little period pain."

On Chad Mendes: "He can talk all he wants, but face to face, man to man, they crumble, and every time I face one of these individuals they break. He will be no different."

On Floyd Mayweather: "If you're asking would I like to fight Floyd? I mean, who would not like to dance around the ring for $180 million? I certainly know he would not want to step into my world. The world of pure unarmed combat where there's no limitations, but I most certainly would step into his world. I would certainly box him if the opportunity arose. Most certainly... There's no real fight in boxing left for Floyd anyways. After the Manny fight happened, there's no more real draws. If you're looking for a fight that would generate interest, it must be a cross and match up different styles. I've said it before, I don't think boxing is the style of fighting that can beat Floyd but saying that there are many, many forms of fighting that can beat him. If we were to get it on, I would most certainly dismantle him, also."
