1. Dress to impress
If clothes maketh the man, McGregor is a proper champ. The Dubliner has raised the style stakes in the UFC with bespoke suits, custom-made watches and stylish shirts.
It’s time to retire the check shirt and boot-cut Levis, my friend.
2. Approach the most mundane household tasks with your usual flair
Putting the bins out? That’s an opportunity to show off your Gorilla-inspired movement. Ringing the phone company to query a bill? Why not do so in the style of a smack-talking MMA star.
Putting out the candles after a night of wine, cheese and Graham Norton on telly? This is how you do it:
3. Always make an entrance
All the world’s a stage. When you arrive at a party, have a friend — Sinéad O’Connor if possible — sing as you enter the room. The Foggy Dew works.
4. Know your worth

Hey, no one’s going to just give it to you. You need to have a sense of your true value. It’s good if your value is a mini-skip full of dollar bills, of course.
5. Take an interest in politics
6. Treat yourself every now and then
Even the strictest trainer needs a few sozzies every now and then.

7. Look after your mother
You’re not too tough to give your mam a kiss after guillotining another cage fighter, as the saying goes.
8. Have a philosophy
9. Back up your big talk
After all your trash talkin’ you better be able to cash those cheques. McGregor usually does.
