"I've just tried dead hard haven't I Adam? I've tried dead hard, so I'm reaping the rewards of my hard work. It's weird, 'cause I heard Conor McGregor say this I think in one of his last interviews. [He said] that it feels like he's only just getting going. I don't feel like I'm near the end. I don't feel like I'm near my peak.

Conor McGregor's stardom has surpassed the world of MMA, and the Irishman has now become a household name across the globe.

'The Notorious' recently shared his thoughts on the quality of the documentary during an interview with Oscar Willis of TheMacLife. He said this:
"I had no creative control... I just would've liked my creative touch, you know. I'm a creator, I've been involved in many other projects like this myself... there's a thin line between, 'Oh my God it's the best thing ever!' and, 'Eh, it's okay.'"
