She was actually asking good and interesting questions without overstepping the line or trying to invade privacy. Thumbs up.
i like her
Yeah the women interviewers have been really good the girl that was interviewing Dana got a lot of info out of him
SIMP SIMP SIMP
@@bh3441 virgin.
ofc she's good, she's not american
If Conor Loses this fight, he’s gonna be the star for the next thousand *“When trash talk goes wrong”* videos
He won’t lose
Sadly but McGregor has been here before, he thrives when the odds are against him
@@danielo9606 He said “if”
He is already in there with Khabib and Nate
If? he's already that looool his trash talking to khabib was crazy and he paid for it in a big way.
Give this interviewer a raise
Fake female taxi type beat
Totally agree. She did a good job getting Dustin to talk
She asked great questions i agree
Ya she nailed it
She can get it
kudos to her for asking DIFFERENT questions
Good aswell as different
British journalists are normally savage this is as polite as it gets
@James Earl Jones ok Earl, will do
For real. These interviews have gotten so damn repetitive
Frrrr they all ask the same questions
If I had a penny for every time someone asked him about the lower leg kicks..
You'd have about twenty five cents.
@@crestowpeardew1394 come on, man... he'd have at least $1.25. Haha
lol you'd be a Multi millionaire . it must be annoying for him to keep repeating himself about the calf kicks but what knocked Connor out was the hands
@@MattTravisMedia yup I was thinking about a dollar
He'd have enough money to buy him a McDonald's Happy Meal.
Dustin is a real good guy
Good guy who knocks out amateur guy in the gymn?
@@africansoldja but that can happen while sparring.
@@africansoldja stop it, that’s their own damn fault for not wearing any gear. The guy from khabib camp was actually a professional fighter with 20 wins in a different organization. He chose not to wear gear, while Dustin did it because his fight was coming up.
@@africansoldja it’s also a very competitive gym , it’s not your average MMA gym it’s full of currently competing fighters
Dustin is a class act. I'm a fan of his in victory and defeat.
Tomorrow u will be a fan of his in defeat.
@@indeedConfirmed Yeaaah. We'll see how this comment ages.
Too true he's such a good man and awesome fighter
@@deanlowndes4647 I Agree. Humble dude and I love it
@@blackoutemzz2674 spot on mate
Dustin, Max, DC and Wonderboy. 4 of the best dudes in the UFC. Just good vibes.
Stipe :D DC is not good person, just pretending that he is...
What bout 🤠 Cerrone
Bobby knuckles?
Khabib? (Outside of octagon!)
@@alenkikic3531 how so?
Such a wonderful human Dustin is. Much love
He is a good guy I feel as tho he handled that donation situation wrong tho
@@itszach4911 everyone makes a mistake and he admitted it. That he went by it the wrong way which very rarely most do.
Nice Guy, But Conor By KO.
@@itszach4911 what was he supposed to do? He didn’t have to bring it up on Twitter but like he said they ghosted him
Dustin is a POS. He is the one that started this trash talk couple of months ago.
Dustin is the kinda guy I like to see win against the type of opponent he's facing.
i think conor got in his own head for this one...he koes himself 3rd round
Conir 2 round tko
Conor got this
i wonder what kinda odds that outcome would get lol +5000
Conor win by KO Conor in the first round. Poirier goes missing.
😂
Whoever gave this interview has done such a great job
Best interviewing I have seen for this card. Great job.
Damn, this chick knows a lot about UFC fighting to give an interview like that.
Very good interview and questions
Said all the right things..
Not at @1:25 he did not...
And those are boring. We want Conor
Rooting for Conor but I respect Dustins approach too.
Mcnuggets is gonna go back to beat'n up Old seniors at the bar after this
@@Theo-dj7vs the mask slipped
Dustin is such a good guy and I’m a fan of both so it’s tough
100% man. I'd be happy for either if they win. There's somethings to learn from each fighter, & I respect that.
He’s a good guy? Lol
@@chrisb4814 He's not all good, or all bad, just like McGregor, or anyone else. For example, he's playing really well into this nice guy image that's really not what it looks like, but on the other hand he's much more respectful to Conor than Conor is to him when selling the fight, and hey it works.
It is what it is. It's the art of war, & it's a war for power.
Bro,dustin and his wife look so fake.dustin took conor humble as weakness.
Dustin is class. McGregor is a tosser! Not a tough one at all
Dustin is a decent human being. I like that about him. His responses to questions have matured as well as his emotional maturity have grown over his career. It's gonna be a fight to remember for sure. I'm glad I'll be alive to see it. I hope everyone enjoys the shhhhh...iiittt out of the fight and entire fight card.
With an attitude like that, he deserves to win 👍
Agreed. 👍🏿
He dominated mcgregor again, like a real champ, and mcgregor proved that he's a "dirtbag"
Either way
I'm just hoping for a great fight
Can't wait
Conor is gonna win. And it will be a 4th round ko
@@zeus-do7pq 🤣👍🏻
it's all love let's have a good fight,I'm for Dustin I've backed him even when he lost the first!
I'm a huge fan of both obviously I'm a bit biased and leaning more 2wards mcgregor,,,
I'm happy in either outcome, as long as someone gets knocked TF OUT 👊😂

Conors trash talk comes across as desperate.
It's a tactic ,a weapon and fighters know that now.
Avoid the trash talk, let him rant.
No its him bein himself thats all
@@dagodigs it used to be, he used to be smart and fun with it. And he used to be intense but he had a certain confidence. Now he seems more agitated. Like he’s trying to hype himself up
@@vernlaw 100%
@@vernlaw when a lot of people aren’t hungry anymore they lose pretty much everything
The agitation that Connor has now it's a sign he knows he is no longer himself like before...
It's all about the energy Conor's evil energy is going to backfire on him.
I hope so
Conor is gonna ko this fool
Nah it won’t. Remember how the first fight played out? Conor was being far more savage and mean that time around and he KO’d Dustin in the first round with ease. Stop pretending like McGregor can’t absolutely demolish Poirier
@@rexross5189 people evolve and it's two different weight classes. Dustin belongs at 155 and Conor doesn't
@@jaypitts703 Bro, just because conor decided to fight like a boxer and not focus on his karate stance doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it. Conor is still amazing. Just wait and see till the fight plays out. Look at jon jones. His technique has been out for a while yet no one has figured out a way to stop him.
Word perfect. This guys got it together. Impressive. Exceptional interviewer.
idk why but this fight is really showing me why people hate conor and his fans.
Mostly the fans lol equivalent to cowboy, Yankee and lakers fans lol
My take on this fight is Conor is not facing the same guy that he beat those years ago and Dustin is facing the same guy he beat already, so Conor can act like he used to act, but he hasn't backed up his words lately. I got Dustin winning the Press conference and the fight.
The press conference already happened btw
@@phillipedwardness9591 I saw. Opinions can happen after the fact.
Conor switches up his style pretty much every fight so dustin isn't facing the same guy. A few adjustments can make this a totally different fight. Dustin won the last fight entirely due to those calf kicks. If those don't land for him how else does he win? He hasn't got any special grappling skills and he was losing in the clinch. And mcgregor beats him in boxing too. Dustin can win but it's far from a simple fight, and its the gameplan that will decide everything
@@queball685 I'm pretty sure Dustin's team trained for a Karate stance.
@The Medical Enthusiast yall are missing the most important component he has heart,he can go to war conor has a tendency to quit than thing don’t go his way
Dustin is an amazing fighter, i feel he may be a little to comfortable going into this fight but im excited to see the results. May the better man win!
I mean he’s the better fighter tbh. Better take downs, better wrestling, black belt in jiu jitsu, #1 contender he’s also acknowledged connor to be very dangerous even more dangerous in this fight
Yes, may the better Irishman win.
@@alexisogbemudia5458 but he’s not the better fighter. Better grappler, that’s it. Y’all need to stop acting like Conor has never done anything amazing in his career.
Conor is an immature clown. Hes the one thats agitated and emotional just like dustin was in the 1st fight. Dustin will win again
Cry
He's always like that, sometimes more sometimes less but when he steps into the cage his demeanour is always calm and focused on the sport. He leaves all emotions at the door
@@queball685 exactly
they know what they're doing bro..try to see through..respect them for the entertainment they provide ..I love both of em
Funny how it flipped. Dustin is showing the power of "turn the other cheek." It's actually inspiring me and reminding me of the wisdom of the Bible.
The games really evolved in conor's absence, many fighters get his antics and the blue print to beat him I guess.
Yeah Conor's been busy making money after he capture the champchamp status while dustin is still doing his things keeps on improving himself as human being and as a figther while conor is just been sleeping on and thinking that he can beat anyone from the lightweight, featherweight and welterweight
@UCKDvlPBNgOAnmKqi-3WYpZA yeah business wise conor really did help ufc a lot he made it a more than a mainstream, but as a fighter he wasnt the same as he was before
@B L i hope so
Or ya know there's guys that don't fall for the clown antics or they're just better than him.
@B L Conor's not that special dude.. he had a good run before and he's better at getting attention
I'm a Conor fan but this guy scares me with his calmness
It's called social anxiety, dehydration, and lack of interest
Any other fighter I'd be rooting for Mcgregor but Dustin deserves every bit of success - composed, professional, respectful, talented and hard working. Let's go Dustin!
Been following dp from.2014 more or less and hes been the most consistent in terms of behaviour and approach. Its actually inspiring. So level headed from young. His growth is admirable. Very few like him.
If Conor gets KO’D he should just retire
Fight nate for a 3rd time first imo
@Scott Thomas I dont wonna sound like a hater but him and TJ dillashaw are 2 people I could watch getting KO'd all day
He won't really have a choice. I think he wins tomm tho
The sad thing is even if he goes on a losing streak they will continue to carry him and give him fights that will cater to his skills like Donald cerrone and keep saying he's the best an blah blah..
I wanna see him fight Gaethje.
Tj Dilla Shaw is gonna be excited to wear those t shirts with the snake 🐍/ cobra 🐍
Yeah ..can't wait for tht fight...I hope cory wins then fight yan....after yan finish with fakemaster
Great interview, Hes a real nice guy down to earth. shes has talent and easy on the eyes. Mystic Mac does what he does its not personal he bring excitement and electricity to the event, Dustin is wise enough that he knows its benificial for everone involved. Great guys!
The interviewer was great... Refreshing questions 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Man my hearts racing even thinking about the fight. I’m rooting for Conor but both the fighters have my respect regardless of the outcome.
Fook dat goiy
Dustin chokes him out man can’t see it any difffernt
What sets that scenario up
Ronnie Perez possibly later rounds when Conor is tired
He seems a top bloke.
"it took an arm twist"
Only Conor can make a huge donation like that and still end up looking like the bad guy. What was the point of saying you'd give a donation and then try to wriggle out of it to then having to give it anyway cause Dustin went public. It must be burning him.
It was because Poirier wouldn’t specify where the money would go exactly. Supposedly it seemed like it was just going to Dustins gym or some secondary organization, not the one that would actually need the money. Dustin and his team are definitely in the wrong in this situation. That money is a drop in the bucket for Conor, it’s definitely not because he didn’t want to give the money away.
@@rexross5189 nah, conor just wanted yo wriggle out of it b4 he got publicly shamed
@@rexross5189 nah since he got knocked tf out by dustin, he was salty to give him money
really great interviewer
Conor is selling the fight… keeping his brand alive. Conor has always been here just distracted with his businesses.
Good he never learnt a lesson from 229, let him run his business with his dirty tongue and he will be down forever
100% agree. Huge Conor fan but it just seems like he’s trying to be his old self, and it doesn’t seem as genuine as it used to.
Question here is what does that have have do with the fight
We don't carreeee we will see the fight!!!!!!!!!!
@@AbelR91 Just adding to what Poirier said ✌🏼
Dustin tried smearing his name publicly after he helped him promote his hot sauce and gave him the biggest payday in his life
@@Andrew-xt8lz shut up
*THE DIAMOND!!!!! 💎💯*
How times have changed. I think a lot of us would love to see Dustin knock Conor out.
Conor has a lot of charisma and that previously made me root for him without thinking about it too much, but Dustin seems like a well put together guy. Always seems honest and sincere. Hope he gets the win.
Unfortunately not, Conor By KO.
Conor has displayed zero charisma this time around..the over the top trash talking is cringy... it’s been done, everyone has moved on except Conor at this point
BT SPORTS, GIVE THIS WOMAN A RAISE!!!! This is the best interview I’ve heard all fight week
Everyone on BT sport MMA is top notch - well done guys, this coverage is phenomenal.
Dustin is such a humble guy 1 round tko by kindness
hell yeah brother
@@blackoutemzz2674 he didnt needed to bring up that mans wife good over evil always 1 love brother
Pure class
BT is doing way better than other channels. Honestly, even the questions are done better.
Dustin is an awesome guy. Takes a lot to overcome anxiety, and grow the way that he did. And, above all, he genuinely has a good energy. I like Conor too, but sometimes his antics are a bit tiring, and way over the top
Dustin is like Clint Eastwood, calm and ready to attack. As soon as Conor makes a wrong move Dustin will capitalise and destroy him. I can see it already
Compare him to an actor in fake movies lol
Love that Poirier is just matter of fact and doesn't try to grammar every single sentence. Straight to the point.
Great interview great questions 👍
Really good interview. Great questions
I really hope Connor has changed his style…
dont worry he change who he "is" more than a chameleon
@@CalebAdams2002 Conor got knocked tf out buddy
Me too. His style since Diaz has been terrible
@@Llgnbc so did Dustin buddy
Knee to the face when dustin shoots for a takedown.. heard it here 1st
Just like against Khabib
Delusional 😂
I agree
He has had time to see how scared people shoot ..it masvidal time !!!
Dustin will beat him everywhere. The game has evolved beyond spamming left hands.
Great interview, really refreshing
Such a good dude.
DP third round, good odds. Easy money.
Parlay, DP, Thompson, Condit, hall
No suga sean??
@@CHR1S_831 his odds too low haha
Hall got KTFO tho
Dustin's the one & only man to beat Conor, according to Conor's rules of MMA ....
Great interviewer actually, she asked some great questions 👍 Good luck Duss, u got this 🥊🏴
Awsome dude
Wish more of these around
As much as I love him, I feel like this is the end for Conor!!! He’s got to much money
Not the end at all. He will always have a place in MMA
Oh please.
The too much money excuse has arrived early.
@@rexross5189 I didn’t say he wouldn’t have a place in MMA, guys a pioneer but I think the guys already won. Doesn’t need to keep going.
@@GSDguy ^He doesn't have "too much money", the fighters just became better than him. "Prime Mcgregor" is imaginary, current Dustin would destroy any Conor.
@@Tigo625 ok
I think Dustin's tried to play it cool but the pressure will be there. When he walks into that arena and hears tens of thousands of boos and gets faced off with McGregor, the pressure will get to him.
Sure big stage like that anyone would be. But compared to the last fight Conor is for sure feeling more pressure. Dustin coming off a win. He’s confident
Absolutely. 90% of the mma community takes these type of things at face value but there are levels to it.
@@ChrisSmith-sq8vi I'm telling ya, that Crowd will be the X factor. No crowd on Fight island was such an advantage to poirer.
@@joegarrison5911 There was still 5,000 people there, Dana allowed fans for that one

Great intervew conducted by the reporter. 🤟🏼
Everyone loves the calm nice guy now lmao
Not everyone. Only people with brains who can speak. All idiots are for conor still
@@Rastamanjungle I agree
Dustin will win
Oh man. I just realized when she asked Dustin, but both of them really married their long time sweethearts, and their spouses are always supportive of each other. Yeah, that's the life.
Conor didn't marry yet though
Great job by the interviewer.
Let's talk about his boat .. forget the fight
Dustin soreier is getting slept😎
I’ll come back tmrw if he won’t
Man how can anyone dislike Dustin such a class act
Dustin is so sweet... A grown up man right there
dustin can read him like a book now
Spot on
Shut your fookin mouth
like conor once said to cowboy ''i can read him like a childrensbook''
I feel like its the opposite and how he was in the last fight didn't seem genuine, He was too humble and it seemed really forced.
Yeah idk this seems like a genuine Conor.
Uhmmm how….?
Whatever the case there won’t be any excuses this time ffs
The problem is that everything he does is fake because he has no center. He's formless. He punches old men but hugs Cerrone's grandma. He talks about money but then says he doesnt give a fook. He grew up in a three story villa in an affluent suburb but says that he came from nothing because it sounds cool ... etc. It's all made up.
@@ryangreen45 He could land 0 shots to 1000 and get his skull broken with a 720 tornado kick and still make excuses.
Impossible not to pull for Dustin. No hype or bullshit. Just sincere answers.
Great interviewer
I don't see Conor as fake, Conor does what he does . But rather I see Dustin being fake.
Dustin looks angry always
Conor stans are something else
fake how
@@d.destroyer8380 if the assertion is that connor is faking being angry, than it's safe to also assume dustin is faking this calm composed attitude, when he gets in the ring with connor and all those fans it will become real, connor is hyped whether faking it or not
@England man u guys are deluded as hell lmao
Conor last time was too humble. This time he's too angry. Hope he finds a middle ground.
Great interview 👍❤
I’m with Conor but I love how calm Dustin is. He seems so serene. He seems to have sincere clarity in his life at this moment.
He looks shook
@@dagodigs he kept blinking fast when McGregor was roasting him just an observation
@@hamzahussain1933 what do u think??? Its obvious to me that it was pissin dustin off bad!!
I don’t know why people think McGregor is trying to play a role. He left his family at home so he could be in kill mode. He knows he got embarrassed in the last fight. This is usually how he is. Except against cowboy and the previous fight with Dustin
Kill mode? Youre a whole dad and u think acting hard on press conference is being on kill mode.
Bro he’s still gonna loose it doesn’t matter
@@Ahmawan_chaasad144 lose*
@@mussemuss4769 what is a ''whole'' dad ?xd
I don’t think Conor is trying to recapture his old self. I believe he has always been this way, and the only difference is other people’s views of him.
Exactly my friend. I thought he said some great one liners in this one as well but people were just baised towards Dustin.
Conor said it well that" I don't give a bollocks about trash talking, lock me up with this man and see what happens"
Yo who is she, she asking the right questions without trying to agitate him. Was a rlly good interview ❤️
Amazing Interviewer!
everybody saying Mcgregor is forcing his old self … guarantee if he wins everybody’s gonna be saying the old him is back
But He Won't! Lol 😆
No
Nah, only Connie fangirl casuals would say that. Of course he could win, but that doesn't mean he's his old self. 32 year old athletes who are on a losing streak don't just magically get better. This ain't a Rocky movie.
Anyone else root for Conor but ask yourself why when he can be such a douchebag? It's a conundrum for me that I'm constantly battling.
If Dustin would play the part, they’d increase sales.
Sheep follow Mcgregor.. because hes loud
He’s not a douche bag lol
When Dustin taunts and destroys his "sparring" partners but only Conor is ever the bad one.
after all these years some people still dont realize conor is just a showman trying to boost these ppv sells
I love this man, greetings from Poland !
Great interviewer would love to see more
What a class
Complete opposite from the schmuck he's gonna KO again
I’m watching Conor but daymn Dustin is likeable, just hoping we get at lease 3 rounds of good stuff
That's bad news fro McGregor then.
Conor is focused, it's either gonna be a round 1 or 2 TKO by Conor by headkick or round 4 TKO or submission by Dustin.
Great, interesting, different interview. Good job.
He still made the donation though... he didn't have to twist his arm... Connor just wanted details on where the money was going and how it was gonna be used... $500,000 is a LOT of money...I don't think anyone would donate that much without making sure it was gonna be used properly in a a charitable manner and not going into Poirier 's personal bank account... Not that he would... Dustin seems like a genuinely good guy... It was just a situation that got twisted and shouldn't have been made public the way it was... It was a personal matter and it should've stayed that way...
They shouldn't have made it public before it was made as part of promo for their first fight. Handled wrong from the get go.
I am always pro McGregor every fight but this is the only time where I'm doubting him
Elbow deep son, ELBOW DEEP...
*edits title* “Conor is trying to recapture his old self”
