He's one of the most well known sportsmen in the world, but UFC champion Conor McGregor doesn't see himself as a celebrity.
The Irishman, who is expecting his first child with his girlfriend Dee Devlin, posed for the cover of a magazine recently and opened up about his thoughts on celebrity culture.
Speaking to GQ, the 28-year-old said, "People think I'm a celebrity. I'm not a celebrity. I break people's faces for money and bounce."
He added,"I'm not trying to bring my kid into that. If someone comes near me when I have my kid in my hands, like the way they come near me now, looking for pictures, someones gonna be badly hurt."
Conor revealed his long term girlfriend Dee was pregnant after making history at UFC 205, when he became the first fighter ever to hold two belts at the same time.
During his press conference after picking up the lightweight world championship belt, Conor said, "I'm going to be a daddy early next year. I'm crapping my jocks."
Their baby is expected to arrive in May 2017.
