While talking to Express, Conor McGregor said, “You hear people say like they have a goldfish on their a** cheek, It means it’s a symbol of hope. Something like that. I just like the way it looks on my body.
“I don’t spend months picking it; I just see it, get it, and just enjoy the experience of being inked on my body for the rest of my life. I don’t know what it is.”
McGregor further said, “It’s not that particular gorilla. But it’s a gorilla. So I wanted to get something along that line. I feel like I am the king gorilla so I took the crown, and I had him eat a heart. It felt right.”
