How do you go from being an MMA fighter at the top of your game in the UFC to becoming an elected representative of the South Dublin County Council? This week, Paddy Holohan tells the incredible story of how he did just that.
Paddy speaks about how it felt to be in the thick of it when Irish MMA reached the world stage (48:00), while also speaking in frank terms about the somewhat shocking aspects of Irish politics that are often not spoken about (17:00) and his admiration for his mother (38:00).
From Conor McGregor's words of wisdom to him about fame (49:00) to dealing with ignorant members of the public (57:00), John Kavanagh getting star-struck (46:00) and much, much more, this is an open and honest conversation about modern Irish life with a man who is not afraid to use fighting words.
To hear Paddy's insider information on the prospect of a McGregor Khabib rematch, his thoughts on battling with fear, his out of body experience in the octagon, the potentially devastating bloody disorder that he hid from the UFC and much more, become a patron of An Irishman Abroad on patreon.com/irishmanabroad.
