Fick dich he trains with one gunnar nelson and a bunch of no names, Chad has an arsenal of TOP flyweights, bantam weights, featherweights, and lightweights to train with.
datguy729 Absolutely true. The camps that they come out of aren't comparable. Chad trains with world class fighters and conor trains with a bunch of no name scrubs. Of course he's confident.
He looked ready to cry, he looks beyond irritated and over this experience. He doesn't have the mentality to fight Conor. Not once has he acted like this ever, at least from the leads ups to his other fights that I've watched.
Carlo Aguilar It isn't a lie that this was his response to the news. His coach first broke that story. There's no need to lie lol, cool points aren't up for grabs.... Unless, they are?!!!
The only time Conor seemed to be at a loss of words was after that charity question. It's kind of hard to give back to the community when you're spending all your time buying tree piece suits.
People call Mac arrogant but yet Mini Mendez slags off some fan by his accent and used the term monkey which is used as a racial slur, one thing you can always count on Mac has respect for people he is surrounded by he stays humble and never forgets what he came from Chad will soon need facial reconstruction after THE KING is finished with dismantling his facial structure...
Nate Salcido doesn't matter what context it was used in and by your name Nate you are Hispanic one of the most racist races so you have no say it this matter
McGregor's greatest strength isn't his fighting ability but instead his ability to break opponents mentally before a fight. His ability to do this will always give him an edge going into fights.
Break opponents? Ha! This guy is to self-absorbed to get into anyone's head. Thus said; he needs to convince himself he is what he try's to be, therefore leaving doubt in his subconscious. He is transparent.
"[McGregor] doesn't have wrestling, he doesn't have Jiu-Jitsu." Oh, Chad... He should go watch watch McGregor's open workouts, and also videos of him competing in grappling tournaments.
Man, Chad had some good answers, and im suprised that Conor just sat back and relaxed and let Mendes talk.. I don't think he did that when Aldo was speaking, he wanted to take control.
Chads frustration seemed to be visible on certain questions and verbal exchanges. Not that is any indication of how the fight will play, but it was a change to see him biting more, even at press comments.
Must admit, as much as i hoped for Aldo vs McGregor to happen, you have to give credit to Dana and team for making this happen. The build up to this fight has been great, alot of words back and forth but ultimately, both are going for the kill. McGregor has gotten into Mendes' head and I really hope this fight goes the distance. Looks like neither guy is going to give up and just duke it out until the last round.
when ron kruck mentioned the induction of bas rutten into the UFC hall of fame, not one irish fan knew what was going on or who bas rutten is. most irish fans haven't even watched more than the 5 UFC mcgregor fights, yet if you ever talk to one they'll tell you that mcgregor is "one of the best" or "greatest of all time"
I see the same mental states in confidence and Mendes and McGregor as I did in Cormier and Jones when they fought. Don't be surprised if this fight ends up being eerily similar to the Jones/Cormier fight. Of course, Conor being the smaller version of JJ....
People diss McGregor but he'd never let a main event fall through. Training for Aldo he pulls out, put it all on the line for Chad? No problem, set it up giving all us a sick UFC card. 👊
What is funny is Sinead O'connor is pacifist and dedicated her life to being against war and violence, yet Conman uses her music to promote violence and even mentioned in this press conference that her music promotes war and violence. lol what crew
***** She is against Miley Cyrus for using too much skin to get attention and sending the wrong message to young girls, but she has no problem with this guy sending the wrong message to young men that disrespecting your opponent is the way to go in life. I guess her morals are based on the fact that you are either Irish or not Irish. Still it is a questionable pairing and especially for a fight promotion.
This whole time I have been 50/50 on who will win(and still am). But you can clearly see Chad is not himself and Conor got him very emotional. Geez Conor! Why do you have to be so good at mind games!
a partir de 22:47 começa a ficar muito interessante a fala destes dois grandes artistas marciais. eu acho que o Chad é melhor, mas estou curioso para ver o Conor lutar, suas habilidades de combate.
McGregor looked calm and collective while Chad on the other hand seemed more tense and nervous, hopefully hes already mentally broken before Conor breaks him physically
Conor Conman is the one seemed to be nervous here. He has huge pressure. He is falling apart. That's the reason he's swearing shades & chewing gums on ALL (including world tour with Aldo) of his press conferences. He wants to hide his expression and fear in his eyes. He is not as tough as he promotes himself to be. Chad is going to destroyed him.
Why are McGregor's camp, his fans (I'm a fan but I mean his diehard fans who build up a hatred of his opponents because their his fans) and McGregor himself still going along with this analogy than Jose Aldo pussied out of the fight. There's documented fucking proof of his fractured rib. To suggest that any professional MMA fighter, let alone the greatest Featherweight of all time is afraid of someone is ridiculous to me. I'm Irish, but I'm not letting the fact that a compatriot of mine who joined the UFC several years after I began watching it change my views on fighters I've seen fight long before. Chad's a beast, Aldo's a beast, Conor's a beast. I hope Conor McGregor wins, I think he can and wouldn't be at all surprised if he does. My heart is going for him, but my head is saying Mendes.
i gotta question for McGregor Me: "McGregor I know you've heard about chad mendes wrestling skill so what was/is your plan for the fact that he's one of the best mma wrestlers out there?" McGregor: "I'm just gonna beat his ass so bad he won't be able to take me down" Everyone laughs while chanting conor! conor! conor
I was never really interested in UFC until I saw McGregor, he sold this fight big time. With all that confidence I cannot see how he could lose, but it can go either way.
dumaz12 It's possible. I just love to see a guy like this just come in and sell a fight like that. But I have never seen a guy so confident in my life, and he enjoys chirping. As a hockey player, I love that lol
Calling it now, an hour before the fight: because of the weight cut, Conor wins via 5-round UD. I don't know who wins in the Lawler vs. MacDonald fight.
Ufc got handicap matches now. Chad mendes and his mole vs mcgregor. The mole is bigger than chad too. If mcgregor loses, we can always get a hell in a cell where chads kept out and it's just mcgregor and the mole, Mano a Mano
You can tell Mendes is scared as he has to make a comment after every thing that Conor says, whereas Conor is lapping it up after Mendes speaks by not even acknowledging his existence
Chad.... it was respect to a pro athlete lol, he didn't show respect when he shoved Aldo last year at the press conference, what that is is Jose and chad thinking that by sending them tweets they can play some psychological warfare on the psychological warfare master lol
See when that fan said: ''Bring the Gold home''. All conor said was: I'll represent my fan & country well, THATS NOT A GUARANTEE. He knows what's in store for him on saturday
Felt sorry for Chad when the camera cut to him during Conor's 'embarrassing' comments regarding the take at Chad's last fight. He was thinking "oh fuck what have I got myself into?".
The difference: Chad trains with bantamweights
Conor with WELTERWEIGHTS hahaha that says everything
that's true
Fick dich he trains with one gunnar nelson and a bunch of no names, Chad has an arsenal of TOP flyweights, bantam weights, featherweights, and lightweights to train with.
datguy729 Absolutely true. The camps that they come out of aren't comparable. Chad trains with world class fighters and conor trains with a bunch of no name scrubs. Of course he's confident.
Yeah and all the welterweights are super slow compared to chad , training with those welters is counter productive.
Chad trains with guys who are in the top of their division. Conor trains with guys not even in the top ten.
Chad is finished lol, just look at his face expressions. Conor broke him to pieces mentally. He looks like he's gonna cry lmao.
Mr xo I did see that
Mr xo I see the same thing. He's a very emotional guy. Luckily for him he didnt have to go through the tour.
Gregory Retzepis Conor seemed pretty calm and relaxed to me where as Chad looks nervous and upset.
Mr xo nervous and upset? he looked ready to go, excited.
He looked ready to cry, he looks beyond irritated and over this experience. He doesn't have the mentality to fight Conor. Not once has he acted like this ever, at least from the leads ups to his other fights that I've watched.
Chad seemed very nervous to me.
He looks upset and pissed off lol
Not even close.
Martial Arts Mecca at which moment have you seen that exactly?
Martial Arts Mecca To me Conor looked like the nervous one. He was about to chew his tongue clean off how fast he was chewing that gum.
He looked like he lacked confidence in his speaking ability more than the fight.
I opened my eye... I said there all the same and I went to sleep. What an
amazing saying
Carlo Aguilar It isn't a lie that this was his response to the news. His coach first broke that story.
There's no need to lie lol, cool points aren't up for grabs....
Unless, they are?!!!
Carlo Aguilar Because there is no title on the line anymore. No real title
***** and looking too
When one of us go to war... We all go to war.
***** only a gay could know that I'd guess.
Press conferences are always less interesting minus Dana White... also, what the hell? No face offs??
Face offs will be tomorrow night at the weigh in
I know, but I have little patience evidently haha
Natalou True. Dave Sholler is so much more well-spoken than Dana
I think Sholler was traumatised after the whole Jones/Cormier fiasco hah
***** Yeah, shove Dana and kiss your contract goodbye
The only time Conor seemed to be at a loss of words was after that charity question. It's kind of hard to give back to the community when you're spending all your time buying tree piece suits.
So true lol
Scramblieggs more like free piece suits...*cough* uggghhh... Dana *cough*
Scramblieggs he can do what he wants with his money, he doesn't need to donate shyt
People call Mac arrogant but yet Mini Mendez slags off some fan by his accent and used the term monkey which is used as a racial slur, one thing you can always count on Mac has respect for people he is surrounded by he stays humble and never forgets what he came from Chad will soon need facial reconstruction after THE KING is finished with dismantling his facial structure...
A RACIAL SLUR MAYBE IF CONOR WAS BLACK U IDIOT!!!!!
Nate Salcido doesn't matter what context it was used in and by your name Nate you are Hispanic one of the most racist races so you have no say it this matter
KING MAC Conor mocked and made fun of a stuttering mentally impaired guy at a q and a. So yea, not a good comparison buddy.
***** no I'm stating a point I haven't a racist bone in my body I'm criticizing hispanic's that is all you having taking my comment out of context
KING MAC Are you Irish???
Literally forgot there was an Ultimate Fighter season.
Cian O'D haha. me and you both buddy. fuggit though. it's a UFC weekend. Enjoy the violence.
***** Fights are fights are fights. I'll be watching 'em.
Lee The Flea I'll pass, I'm not interested in watching people who clearly aren't UFC caliber fighters.
+Cian O'D ever heard of matt serra? he was on tuf and beat gsp
Daniel Henrique Yes, I did hear* of Matt Serra and no offence mate, that was nine years ago so how is it relevant?
Face to face, man to man, They all crumble.
PUMPED FOR THIS FIGHT AND PUMPED TO WATCH THIS PRE PRESS CONFERENCE ! GSP GSP GSP FOREVER !
Diaz 1,2,5.
Diaz 1, 2, 4.
ravballer Diaz 1,2,3,4 & 5
one of the best press ufc conferences ever
McGregor's greatest strength isn't his fighting ability but instead his ability to break opponents mentally before a fight.
His ability to do this will always give him an edge going into fights.
Break opponents? Ha! This guy is to self-absorbed to get into anyone's head. Thus said; he needs to convince himself he is what he try's to be, therefore leaving doubt in his subconscious. He is transparent.
I agree, he gets in their heads.
Congrats for repeating what like everyone says
Chad: Dude, dude, dude, dude, yeah dude, dude, dude.....this dude, dude, dude, dude, yeah dude.
That crowd made those fights, especially the last 1, even better.
"[McGregor] doesn't have wrestling, he doesn't have Jiu-Jitsu." Oh, Chad... He should go watch watch McGregor's open workouts, and also videos of him competing in grappling tournaments.
Both are world class fighters we are in for a treat. Rory vs Robbie is going to steal the show.
Super Exited to watch these two beasts fight in the main event.
Man, Chad had some good answers, and im suprised that Conor just sat back and relaxed and let Mendes talk.. I don't think he did that when Aldo was speaking, he wanted to take control.
Aldo doesn't speak english
Respect to Chad for helping the wounded warriors foundation. Thank you brother. Semper Fi
I almost feel bad for Mini Mendes. Almost.
Mendes looks as if he is about to cry at any moment!!
Chris Paul does the same thing. It had nothing to do with McGregor
Connor is a tough individual. He is exactly what he said he is mentally bullet proof haven't seen much of him but he seems pretty awesome
Man I'm pumped for this! Ellenberger vs Thompson is gonna be awesome! Are anybody else fighting?
I find it fascinating that Connor's fight prediction happened exactly as he said
Conor you are fighting mendesI, Jose is hurt"... "I opened one eye and said they are all the same and went back to sleep" LMBO! This guy is dope!
been ages since we saw a pre fight confrence
Chad's showing some more aggression, that's good to see.
Chad is taking too much of this to heart. He is broken. Much more then aldo was.
GAH DAMNED! VEGAS WILL BE POPPIN THIS WEEKEND!
Rory is so soft spoken, you gotta love the Canadians.
Chads frustration seemed to be visible on certain questions and verbal exchanges.
Not that is any indication of how the fight will play, but it was a change to see him biting more, even at press comments.
Must admit, as much as i hoped for Aldo vs McGregor to happen, you have to give credit to Dana and team for making this happen. The build up to this fight has been great, alot of words back and forth but ultimately, both are going for the kill. McGregor has gotten into Mendes' head and I really hope this fight goes the distance. Looks like neither guy is going to give up and just duke it out until the last round.
mendes lookin nervous touchin his face when conor talks its the small shit
Over analyze
Ariel always try's to stir shit up with his questions . I love it
Mendes looks tired & worried.. Really can't wait for this fight !!
RIP Chad. "Conor is a one dimensional fighter" = You're fucking screwed.
Wounded Warrior Project, you have my respect for that one Chad.
when ron kruck mentioned the induction of bas rutten into the UFC hall of fame, not one irish fan knew what was going on or who bas rutten is.
most irish fans haven't even watched more than the 5 UFC mcgregor fights, yet if you ever talk to one they'll tell you that mcgregor is "one of the best" or "greatest of all time"
'I opened one eye, I said 'They are all the same'. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep. Hahahaha Conor you give me life.
Does anyone know at which point Chad gets asked about why he begged for Jose's fans on Twitter? That shit was hilarious, but I can't find it anymore.
stfn112 22:51 :))
Giovanna Giardino Great. Thanks!
Welcome . !!
usually i need dana white to get through these press conference's but this guy is just as good as of today.
today you broke the wall for me ..
onor, jaysus, Prince wrote Nothing Compares to You.
Well..that was Comedic Gold!
I see the same mental states in confidence and Mendes and McGregor as I did in Cormier and Jones when they fought. Don't be surprised if this fight ends up being eerily similar to the Jones/Cormier fight. Of course, Conor being the smaller version of JJ....
People diss McGregor but he'd never let a main event fall through. Training for Aldo he pulls out, put it all on the line for Chad? No problem, set it up giving all us a sick UFC card. 👊
50:14 urijah fabor raises his had for the fan questions lol.
What is funny is Sinead O'connor is pacifist and dedicated her life to being against war and violence, yet Conman uses her music to promote violence and even mentioned in this press conference that her music promotes war and violence. lol what crew
Frank V well look at her fucking fb page she is delighted to be representing him
Superior MMA Sure it is a song about war but she is still a pacifist. I just find it an odd pair.
***** She is against Miley Cyrus for using too much skin to get attention and sending the wrong message to young girls, but she has no problem with this guy sending the wrong message to young men that disrespecting your opponent is the way to go in life. I guess her morals are based on the fact that you are either Irish or not Irish. Still it is a questionable pairing and especially for a fight promotion.
Frank V They both promote a free Ireland.
Frank V get the fook outta here
This is going to be a hell of a fight. Go Mendenz!!!!!
Mendenz? The fuck😂😂😂
Hahah ignorant
renz haber Hypocrite.
Notice how connor has never talked shit about anyone from gracie jiu-jitsu, ( nick, nate, jake shields, or gilbert melendez)
everyone is saying Chad looks upset, i believe he's just super focused and ready to kick mcgregor's ass. he's very mentally tough
When Conor said 'The King is coming' Chad looked nervous as hell and was trying to say he didn't understand him lmao
loool Mendes accent reenactment was hilarious
This whole time I have been 50/50 on who will win(and still am). But you can clearly see Chad is not himself and Conor got him very emotional. Geez Conor! Why do you have to be so good at mind games!
Mendez saying he can't understand Connor was like that scene in the last Expendables movie.
Ariel "Nose" Helwani got a bigger cheer than Mini Mendez
GOD I FUCKING LOVE THE UFC..... UFC IS FUCKING LIFE !!!!!
Wish they did face offs at the end..
R.I.P the Welterweight division!!
LOL "this weekennnnnd" @ 11:31, everybody's like wtf dude...only robbie's remains his deathstare...nerves of steel baby
anyone know the song that starts at 8:32 ?
UFC 100 was the greatest PPV
58:41 I swear I heard 'Mandingo or nothing compares to you', i was like WUT
lol is that Uriah that tried to raise his hand for a fan question?
a partir de 22:47 começa a ficar muito interessante a fala destes dois grandes artistas marciais. eu acho que o Chad é melhor, mas estou curioso para ver o Conor lutar, suas habilidades de combate.
Mendes @ 25:30 "This is awesome to be apart of the biggest card in UFC history"
McGregor "We're not here to take part, we're here to TAKE OVER!"
McGregor looked calm and collective while Chad on the other hand seemed more tense and nervous, hopefully hes already mentally broken before Conor breaks him physically
Chad looked like he was going to cry when conor mentioned his gate
Says a lot that chad has been preparing for Mcgregor since his debut. 👀
Conor Conman is the one seemed to be nervous here. He has huge pressure. He is falling apart. That's the reason he's swearing shades & chewing gums on ALL (including world tour with Aldo) of his press conferences. He wants to hide his expression and fear in his eyes. He is not as tough as he promotes himself to be. Chad is going to destroyed him.
Did anyone else pick up on Conor saying when he wins & if he's to fight Aldo next it'll be on his terms since he's bringing in all the money?
"That's less than my show money!" - *Cut to Chad deflated*.
21:30 you can see the moment when Mendes became heartbroken.
Why are McGregor's camp, his fans (I'm a fan but I mean his diehard fans who build up a hatred of his opponents because their his fans) and McGregor himself still going along with this analogy than Jose Aldo pussied out of the fight. There's documented fucking proof of his fractured rib.
To suggest that any professional MMA fighter, let alone the greatest Featherweight of all time is afraid of someone is ridiculous to me. I'm Irish, but I'm not letting the fact that a compatriot of mine who joined the UFC several years after I began watching it change my views on fighters I've seen fight long before.
Chad's a beast, Aldo's a beast, Conor's a beast. I hope Conor McGregor wins, I think he can and wouldn't be at all surprised if he does. My heart is going for him, but my head is saying Mendes.
I am would be really intrigued to hear what Conor would say if he did lose????
Love both fighters, but win or lose I hope this is the last we hear of Kanye McGregor.
no faceoffs ? why?
Conor's look is killing it. He is looking like a mafia don. The tie and the shades are topping it.
Rory is the best fighter up there.
i gotta question for McGregor
Me: "McGregor I know you've heard about chad mendes wrestling skill so what was/is your plan for the fact that he's one of the best mma wrestlers out there?"
McGregor: "I'm just gonna beat his ass so bad he won't be able to take me down"
Everyone laughs while chanting conor! conor! conor
at the end conor could've answered more simply with "i do not donate to any kind of charity"
I can't help but think when I see Mendes at these events that there's one less guy wheelbarrowing sugar at the Wonka factory that day.
50:13 that is faber, why did they not let him ask a question
I was never really interested in UFC until I saw McGregor, he sold this fight big time. With all that confidence I cannot see how he could lose, but it can go either way.
Sorry to burst your bubble, McGregor won't win this one.
dumaz12 It's possible. I just love to see a guy like this just come in and sell a fight like that. But I have never seen a guy so confident in my life, and he enjoys chirping. As a hockey player, I love that lol
Coner to win boys !
Come on Connor... I luv ya buddy but surely you could not remember the buzz of Italia90 as a 2 year old!
Calling it now, an hour before the fight: because of the weight cut, Conor wins via 5-round UD. I don't know who wins in the Lawler vs. MacDonald fight.
CHAD LOOK LIKE HE'S GONNA CRY
The Carlos Condit fiasco should be the latest example of why the interim title means nothing. Dear UFC, please stop with the placeholder belts.
Honestly Chad is trembling with fear in his answers
Chad is embarrassed and uncomfortable, Conor is working his magic. Chad will fold early.
So Dave didn't face the fighters off?
Ufc got handicap matches now. Chad mendes and his mole vs mcgregor. The mole is bigger than chad too. If mcgregor loses, we can always get a hell in a cell where chads kept out and it's just mcgregor and the mole, Mano a Mano
@22:52 LMFAO "OH PLEASE CAN I HAVE YOUR FANS"
You can tell Mendes is scared as he has to make a comment after every thing that Conor says, whereas Conor is lapping it up after Mendes speaks by not even acknowledging his existence
Chad.... it was respect to a pro athlete lol, he didn't show respect when he shoved Aldo last year at the press conference, what that is is Jose and chad thinking that by sending them tweets they can play some psychological warfare on the psychological warfare master lol
Aldo is the one who pushed chad and admitted his management told him to do it in hopes of hyping the fight
John Wilson Admitted lol, you mean he made up an excuse for losing his cool. Aldo is a liar and a cheat.
Aldo just wants Conor to lose lol
John Moran Aldo shoved him you Moron lmfao.
Aldo is preying like holy hell McGregor loses so he doesn't have to get humiliated again. Ore fight and in the fight.
Conference starts at 11:00.
See when that fan said: ''Bring the Gold home''. All conor said was: I'll represent my fan & country well, THATS NOT A GUARANTEE. He knows what's in store for him on saturday
Stephen Thompson and Conor McGregor both flow like ninjas. Great controlled movement in the octagon.
I've got Mendes & MacDonald for the upset
Felt sorry for Chad when the camera cut to him during Conor's 'embarrassing' comments regarding the take at Chad's last fight. He was thinking "oh fuck what have I got myself into?".
