- In an exclusive and candid interview with Gareth A Davies, UFC superstar Conor McGregor gives an insight into his life since winning the interim featherweight championship in July. The Irishman also previews his upcoming UFC194 fight against Jose Aldo.

These old interviews are legendary this guy says what he says and does it word for word
Exactly. What I never realised until a while ago is like he says, he did the press tour with Aldo for the unified belt, then Aldo pulled out so he had the fight for only the interim and then it was in December he got to actually fight Aldo. It took ages. Including damaging his ACL and as I say, Aldo's pullout.

Law of Attraction at it's finest.
@@Jake-qo3mp and that only changed after the Mayweather fight..😢
@@blazet3389 plus a shitload of hard work and lucky genetics
Hype or not, he makes sense. His passion is admirable. His self belief is something I can learn from. His respect for those who have helped him is, again, something I can learn from. But to the haters, "make no mistake about it," Conor Mcgregor is not your enemy in life. If your life sucks so much that a confident man pursuing his craft feels offensive...well, you are losing. He's just a man realizing the fullest of his potential in one craft. Let it inspire you.
serofibrinous mahn you said that just right 👍
very well said bro. i feel the same way. i also feel that what is important is to take what inspires you from every person and make your life better. I guess people have to grow and develop enough to come to such conclusion, therefore not all understand that.
Well done nicely said
well said!!
Agreed, I don't understand how so many people have so much energy to hate on people doing well in general and are so desperate to see them fail. It's just sad and solidifies the fact that you're just one of the people watching on the sidelines that will never get themselves out there and never achieve anything meaningful.
It's crazy because he did exactly what he said.
Robbo also his arms are long. Don’t be fooled with the I work harder than everyone shit. He does work hard. But he was born this way
@@Xxrocknrollgod my guy. Having long arms doesn’t get you very far. He’s beaten people with longer arms than him
@@Xxrocknrollgod without hard work there's nothing, you're just too stupid and probably a sore loser in life, who's too lazy and weak to go after what you want
@@shahfc7585 LMAO, "my guy, having long arms doesn't get you very far"
He is off the charts. He thinks outside the box. He is genuinely unique. Not recognizing it, is pure denial.
Agreed, but he let his ego get the best of him, and got his ass humilliated by Khabib
Who ever is going to win or lose, lets just respect both Mcgregor and Aldo and enjoy this fight! Both fighters are sacrificing alot!
I agree. Fuck all this negativity.
No fuck Jose Brazilian dickwad aldo
+AJDEFIXION fact
+Conor Lynch conor got the fake belt tho dumbfuck
+AJDEFIXION Agree. Shit talking is over. Anything can happen in MMA
You see how uncomfortable he was when asked "What if you lose to Aldo". He really looked like he couldn't even process the image. I love that about him. Unwavering belief in himself. I believe Aldo is scared how can one stand their ground when the man opposite of him in the cage can't be moved.
+ChadEternalLegend and your point is? Anderson Silva had losses before he even stepped foot in the UFC. There's always someone like yourself that has a negative bullet locked in the chamber for someone like Conor because he is where he is and I believe he took that loss and (1 of 2 ) he has and made himself better. POINT... Duffy is trying to make a name for himself in the UFC while Conor has almost reached the top. Goes to show that even failures can't keep strong men from succeeding. Keep drinking your "Haterade" and watch history being made on December 12th when he owns Aldo.
+ChadEternalLegend a few years ago ..... what about now?
+Kevin Mitchell i dont think he scared of conor
johny guitar maybe not but he should be.
+Kevin Mitchell when he asked that question Connor started acting weird to me he said Brazil on Aldo's back lol wtf Ireland is on Connors
18:20 he literally got it spot on.
You can tell John Kavanagh has supreme confidence in Conor. Even when Conor was on his back, and the camera pans to John, he doesn't look worried AT ALL. Pretty interesting.
He was when Khabib was on top
@@afshantase6277 fuck you and that rat ☺
@@DominikDD46 yeah now covid19 is eating the rats dad
@@DominikDD46 oi, khabibs a nice guy
@@aarongillard2615 yeah its pretty nice to abuse and make fun of homeless, yet people still talk about Conor punching a alcoholic mob guy when he was like 45 years old.
"Look into my eyes little man. Little brazilian, you're going to die" fckin gets me every time
'What you looking at? You little old Brazillian fuck' is the one I always come back to
This guy's the definition of self-made. Even though he's done it with the help of his team, you can see it in his eyes he's done phenomenal work to get where he is. There's only one, Conor McGregor.
Connor is an exceptional individual. I cannot explain how much i admire his almost psychotic superhuman rock solid self belief. Its absolutely fascinating. The way he explained how he feels walking up to the cage and then finally going in and feeling FREE gave me goosebumps. We should all try and adopt some of his fearless mindset in pursuit of our own goals in life.
so that we could have a world of talentless imbeciles who are self confident
find it funny that people can be so jealous and bitter over what mcgregor has achieved, youll achieve nothing with that jealous mindset
B Wiser well it’s been a year, are you any less of a weasel?
@@bwiser5206 Talentless? Sounds like you in your mother's basement.
Still feel this way after connor sucker punched a 90 year old man on camera?
I feel the words of Jaime Lannister are appropriate for Conor's state of mind:
"There are no men like me. There's only me."
+TheErebusGaming Thank you.
"you look like a 50 year old retired skateboarder" i lost my shit
We have been blessed with another Conor video.
lol this video has been posted several times already. I saw this a month ago
This man is such an inspiration. Whether he wins or not, he'll always be a fighter that inspired me to do better in life.
Have you done better ?
i wanna give him a nice hug
overtflow lol overtflow
a nice clinch
As long as its not a creampie i guess....
Ew gay
He Too wide
all the ppl who disliked the video still clicked and watched 20 minutes of notorious
TopDawgEnt970 TopDawgEnt970 haha! They sure did!!!
Conor is a special individual.
howcan someone even fathom dislikeing this mans mindset i know for a fact even other fighters r mesmerized
The opening recap of the Mendes/McGregor fight is incredibly well done. Props to whoever cut that one - shows you the power of telling the truth as opposed to distorting the narrative through editing.
This is the kind of an interview that makes you wish there was a special love button option on youtube. Stay strong champ, you are not only the champion of ufc, you are the champion of people's hearts
It gives me chills to hear him describe how he thought the Aldo fight would go down, from the way Aldo would fight to the round and method he would beat him.
Consider for a second that, prior to the fight, Jose Aldo had NEVER been KO'd, and his last loss was TEN YEARS PRIOR. Ten years! The guy was considered at the time by many experts to be the #1 P4P fighter in the world.
(For those that don't know, that means people considered him to be THE BEST MMA fighter in the world, regardless of weight class.)
Yet Conor was so confident that he predicted a 1st round KO... 👀
Conor has way too much heart and way too much confidence and way too many skills to get beaten by Aldo. # And NEW
how would u know that when u can only read subtitles of jose talking. they both have heart I'm sure
anhtaip He has never been put under pressure to the point where he panics, cause he cant get off the cage, nor has he faced a high level striker. When Chad went to war with him he tagged him so many times that it makes me think. If a wrestler can improve so much his striking that he can trade blows with the pound for pound king. How much time will it take for a guy with real striking pedigree to dismantle him?
+Martin Daskalov well chad is a beast standing up on top of his wrestling, he has spent a lot of time with duane just like dillashaw has and he has a lot of power on top of his technique. i believe conor wins this fight fairly easily and i believe jose has already quit mentally multiple times, but chad is a very good striker and him being able to strike with jose, or even conor given a full camp, shouldn't really shock anyone.
+Peter "THE GOD" Pineapple LOL okay that was the first one that was actually funny "Colon McGaywigger".
+Martin Daskalov My thoughts exactly
"Reebok sent a load of gear over and i said "interim? wtf is that interim doing on my shit!?"
ROFL!!!!!!
I wish I could experience his rise again! once in a lifetime take over of the whole game!
Love watching Coach Kavanagh, he knows exactly what's going on in that octagon. Stays calmed the entire time almost with full confidence on what they are doing. Precise and direct instructions, smiling and enjoying. That's how it's done.
This is probably one of the greatest interview. His words are really an inspiration. He sounds like bruce lee in there aside his trashtalking when he is in the moment he really deliver powerful words. He really is the GOAT of mma he is a once in a lifetime athlete
Great interview, great man. Love his philosophy and what the said about being a little messed up in the head in order to be at the top of any sport is absolutely spot on.
18:39 I'm a brazilian Aldo fan but I enjoy how he doesn't care for what people say, he only believes in his own mind. He always said he was the champion even when everybody was talking to him like he wasn't.
I loved that bit lmao; made me chuckle. It was also a great insight into how his mind operates for his self image.
I was there in July. It was Crazy! I lost money on this fight, but I was still excited for Connor and the thousands of Irish around me. I'll be there in a few weeks for the next one!
" Not everyone is happy to see another man succeed" Man was he so correct about that! I lived it
Not a huge McGreGOAT fan but when he spoke about taking care of his mum and dad make me like him now
FAMILY IS EVERYTHING
23 minutes of King Conor? Yes please.
Connor just said that you have to be a little insane to be at the pinnacle of the sport. St. Pierre once said that same thing when he was at the top, and he went out on top.
Hes such a good guy you can tell he's so humble and honest I love him so much.
This guy is on another level
Watching this 3 years later, miss this guy, he isn't the same person anymore. Still hope he comes back and wins the Lightweight championship by summer of 2020
I could listen to that guy all day, the man never runs out of words
I just....love his passion...mind...heart....Everything he said is just...fact!
5:55 so sad, his wife just wanted a hug :(
i would give a hug 🤪
Hahaha.. that was pretty funny
"You can call me Mystic Mac because I predict these things."
18:30
Despingator *tings
Deez tings*
He is truly special, as a fighter & a human being. I wish I had 1% of his confidence & discipline. Like he said once, "I am cocky in promotion, confident in preparation but always humble in victory or defeat." Brilliant businessman too-He knows a MMA career has a short life span. He's getting in & out, RAKING in that $$$ & starting other ventures to grow when his fighting career is over. Let him talk shit & perform his crazy antics...he has built a multi, multi-million $ brand doing it!! I can't say how much respect I have for this man.
He is a bum who assaults old age pensioners now if they dislike his whiskey, he is the shame of ireland
LOL you can see from his face that connor hated the interview at the end. Especially when asked about the "Interim Title" and losing.
His ACL was basically destroyed in that Mendes fight. Thats why he was a little slower and didnt look as good. Watch how he moves in his other fights. He is healthy now and will do some damage Dec 12th.
+Brian H. So true and at 55 he's a beast. Like watch the Ivan Buchinger fight.
C-Mac G(OAT) the God will KO Jose the Weasel STIFF via Spinning Tiger Punch Gorilla Kick
Yes a healthier, stronger McGregor will be awesome. He'll prove people wrong in 55 too.
+Brian H. Not his ACL worse his MCL.
*****
Dude huh? Conor said he tore 80% of his ACL. I tore my MCL 2 weeks ago and it's basically healed without doing anything.
+Brian H. If you knew what an ACL was in the first place you CAN'T make a stupid comment like that - stop commenting and giving an opinion on a subject that clearly you haven't a clue about - an ACL takes AT LEAST a year to rehab - IT DOESN'T HEAL and requires surgery - fucking moron!
One of the best interviews ever
That's real. This dude is the real deal
I love this man's approach to the game so much ... true innovator
Aldo will be done within 3 rounds mark my words, Conor will hurt him early and Jose will be in survival mode until McGregor lands that final left hand that makes Aldo collapse.
+ThugLife MMA I think either aldo or mcgregor will be knocked out or submitted in the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth round. Mark my words
Pointl Ess Your words have been marked, but please know you are wrong.
ThugLife MMA It might be wrong if it goes to decision.
Pointl Ess Or if Aldo doesn't show up, then you will be incorrect.. But yeah if he does show it'll definitely not go to a decision.
jescollo Silence you peasant!! #WestSide #EIRE #Stockton #FreeDiaz #RedTube #EireEireEireEireEire
He’s badass. The interviewer never should have pushed the “Interim”.
Such an interesting character... More articulate then I would have thought.
Great interview. Will be an enjoyable fight to watch whoever wins it
McGregor i envy you..u made me believe that hard work matters not only talent
massive massive respect Conor
2:30 Coach Kavanagh so proud of Conor
Seeing chads takedown... Khabib is beast in power... Going to be the hardest battle of spirit and body for McGregor after those diaz fights.... He got to pull out great techniques to harness khabib's power to his advantage
LOVE the attitude...the hype...and he backs it up!
Bad ass interview.
0:45 holy sh&*^&. What a strong and philosophical words.
This pay per view is stacked.
Intimidation ya 189 was special. my favorite ko of 15 yrs watching mma was Almeida pickett.
loved the fight intro so sick
I Just wish these interviews would go into the technical side of his striking and explain his movement and distance, his laser right cross.
the reason conor is so good, is because he is accurate and calculates his shots well. he is smart and doesn't invest in fights emotionally. keep it up.
Best interview so far.
I miss the old Conor I hope he gets that win against cowboy and remind ppl the true Conor the one that loves to break records the one who does what he says who never pulls out we really miss that Conor.
This is honestly the craziest thing ever no soubt
a lot of pressure at their level. now days having one loss after 6-12 in a row could be devastating. media & fans that sit on the fence is the problem to that. again thats my opinion... father time of course & its just not your day can always be around the corner.. point being, i believe a person win lose or draw can always learn from their last fight. Nobody is invincible regardless of their approach, speech etc.. at their level of competition. heart technique & good solid coaching
Let's go Conor Europe is supporting you!
- love from Amsterdam
Connor must trust or really like this guy doing the interview because he really seems to have been more down to earth and opened up a little more than usual
King McGregor
Chubzdoomer King of Chicken and Burgers these days. Oh and King of criminals.
John Smith pmsl stfu if you got offered the money he got offered to do that BK Ad you would do it and not give a fuck what anyone said
Great RESPECT for you Connor!! you know the law of attraction!!! and man you are a great example of how it works RESPECT BRO and go and Fucking rip Kahbibs heart out!!!
Great interview!!
Its still crazy to me how McGregor was only like 26-27 during these times. He just seems so mature than normal 26-27 year old guys. And he speaks like a fucking scholar. The way he looks and acts, it didn't seem like he was in his twenties. I'm turning 25 in a month, and maturity wise, during that time, he seems like he's a fuck ton older than me.
I have never lost my shit harder after a title fight than I did this fight. SO much hype and build up and talk up to this point. MacGregor was getting beat up and taken down a lot and was losing that fight. But he did show the heart of a champion and he did come back and won by knock out. This fight was a testament to his will and mental strength. Aldo may be more experienced and probably a better fighter than him but MacGregor is no doubt in Aldo's head and MacGregor has a champions heart. MacGregor will find a way to win against Aldo. He has come too far to fail now. Dec. 12th its do or die all in.
John Cavanagh's reactions at the fight were priceless!
i dont understand how so many people are counting Aldo out. he's been through what connor has times 10 throughout his career and always comes out on top.
Because mcgregor already won. Aldo is afraid you can tell and not just because Conor is saying it
Aldo clearly is a great fighter but has ring rust. Conor has confidence and momentum and the skills to beat aldo. i am definetly rooting for conor. curious to see if aldo is still good with the new drug testing.
It's because everyone puts Conor on a pedestal before he actually defends his title. let's remember he "won" the title from someone who trained 17 days for that fight.
+Spright Mir Cause i predict these tings
they swallow UFC hype like whores hot semen
Very unique caracter there is nobody or will be like him in ufc or in fight game .superior than any of those bombs period
19:53 my favorite moment leading up to a fight ever.
@TheNotoriousMMA CM IS A Beast! He will forever be the best in the game to me no matter what!!!
I love his character, his devotion, his passion, ... everything!
This man is incredible!
I wanna give him a huge hug!!
Mister McGregor you are fanominal!!!
lmao at coach john @2:10 😂
this guy literally put Ireland on the map
Gareth. the best.
Conor McGregor- Champion !!!!
Somebody please tell Connor to watch this back!!!!i would really love him to try and get his head back to this level!!!who ever runs this BT sports CZcams channel get the message back!! Guaranteed it will help him!!!
I'm really not that into UFC but I somehow gravitated towards this guy haha, Huge fan now
2:44 Has to be one of the best feelings in the world.
I STILL CAN GET OVER HOLLY HOLM KO'ING RONDA! MOST EPIC MOMENT EVER!!! HUMBLE PIE SERVED SWEETLY!
what's the background song at the beginning??
lets go Conor your straight up person. no fear just passion
man....I love this guy
You can still see the scar that Chad left.
From Chad's fingernails. What a bitch.
+Cúchulainn no, that was just the contact from bone to skin. Chad didn't scratch him with his fingernail lol.
I remember seeing Chad's cheating ass putting his fingers in Conor's cut. Now I'm happy that Aldo cheated by grabbing the fence when Chad went for a takedown, then knocking him the fuck out
+Onelung This was filmed like 6 weeks ago.
+chris Tapia that was a scratch it is a known fact used his finger nails on the cut conor already had
Conor McGregor is still one of my favorite.
What is the music during the fight? Beautiful music, anybody know ?
his fighting style reminded me of bruce lee when i saw conor for the first time vs halloway and i was hooked. listening to him talk he is also like bruce lee with his philosophies on life and the way he expresses his thoughts.
That special ufc canvas😂😂 8:07 but nahfr the mindset of this man is impeccable
Jeez the way he talks in the beginning of this video is the Conor mcgregor I used to be behind. The notorious mystic mac. It’s like he needs that 2014-16 mind set back.
Conor is humble in victory. Respect
"you look like a 50 year old retired skateboarder"
😂
Who is still watching this in 2020
Who's here in 2019!??
Hes waking back up, all part of the journey that im sure he will talk about
"Im not a neurologist" best line of the interview!
phychologist?
I'm watching this in 2019, where the fuck did that Conor go! Come back Mr. McGregor! 🇮🇪
