As per 'The Future', he believes that being black might have made him a better athlete overall. In the video, he says:

"All I know is if I can have that extra three percent athleticism, right? and that beautiful f*****g skin that when I get sweaty, I look like I'm covered in crystals, I'm like shit. I would be money."

During an interview with BT Sport's Caroline Pearce at UFC 290, the Irishman laid out his detailed plans and predictions for the fight. Per Ian Garry, his speed is going to be the deciding factor come fight night:

"He [Geoff Neal] is very talented, hits hard, very tough, but he is not me. He is not as fast as I'm. I've said it soo many times, speed kills, you either have it or you don't, and I've got it in abundance... I think this is going to be a second-round finish... I want people to see the blood, I want to split him open. I want to crack him with some filthy jabs... put him down the pipe, get his eyes going, get his head going, get people screaming, get the energy of the entire room to be insane, and then I'll take his soul."
