My son loved Conor from the start, he was a huge fan, and dragged my doubting self along until I became a fan too. He also loved Cowboy, and passed away in anticipation of this fight, sadly. This will be the first time watching a McGregor fight without him, since he sat me down to watch the Brandao on TH-cam a week before Conor faced Dustin Poirier. It's been a bittersweet last couple of weeks watching the lead up to this fight alone, and not discussing or talking about it with him. I'm pulling for Conor, but love them both.
Sorry to hear that buddy keep your chin up 🙏
Much love to your family and I'm so sorry for your loss.
🙏🙏🙏
My condolences to u. Prayers and blessings your way
Quit reaching for likes. Yo boy did not die from anticipation.
How many of Conor's new interviews have I watched this week?... All of them.
Hell yeah.. Cant get enough
Reading in Conors UFC 205 Pressconference Voice: ALL THE INTERVIEWS!
Waiting for fooking press conference also
And how many times did he say "the ultimate fighting championship, what a company"? In all of them
Me too
This man got me into the sport of MMA and probably millions of others.
Yes he definitely is an inspiration
Him and Rhonda for me. Got in just before Mendes. What a time.
Charles Martel filthy casuals am I right
@Charles Martel why roll your eyes? Without new fans, the sport dies with us!!!
Everyone saying “casual” is just an MMA Hipster “We liked MMA before it was mainstream”
Best interviewer I seen so far doesn’t cut people off let them talk
Oh, and here I thought it was because he's so good at avoiding the rape allegations.
seenit09 every saint has a past, every sinner has a future
Check out my Conor Interview from 2019
BoxersDontTapp 😂😂😂
Adam caterall the main man!!! Talksports finest lol
He's probably been seeing a therapist or life coach. Acts so much different.
He’s seeing tony robbins lol said it in Ariel interview
mixture of khabib tony robbins and rogans dmt has humbled him
His therapist was khabib.. He had all his pride smashed out of him
@Mohammed Abdul Ghafoor yes mohammed with all the hugging he did on conor it made him humble
Partially humbled by khabib, partially due to getting off the bam bam
This guy is such a good interviewer
I know!! Oh how I wish football had these types of interviewers.
He does a podcast called Fight Disciples with a fight sports journalist called NIck Peet. The best boxing/mma podcast around imo!
Conor Moloney he’s a quitter
he is a winner!
I was going to write this but no need now! He's excellent
He’s human. It’s nice to see him at ease. Whoever the Conor was that showed up at the Khabib press conference seems to have vanished, thank god.
I'm hoping this Conor will remain once - or IF - he gets the win. I'm slightly expecting a cocky post-fight interview announcing how he's back and calling out every person in the roster.
@@krisjackson5500 he has no one to call out unless he moves to a smaller division.
Thats drunk conor lmfao
Losing humbles people sometimes....hope this isnt just an act....this is a likeable Connor tho
Smash me mate! I'm right heere!!! I'm righ in frant of yah!!"
The patience that Conor is maintaining in all his recent interviews is really surprising.He is calm,composed and very focused. Answering same questions being asked repeatedly with utmost sincerity! Looking forward to the fight 🙌🏻
Hasnt he always though?
@@trekunda he has.
Most of these guy only ever seen the khabib antics and think that's how he always is.
He seems brand new, I think Khabib was the massive wake up call he needed in terms of fighting.
He mentioned in another interview he’s not had a drink in 4 months, it’s interesting how focused he seems
It's called being sober 😂
He became humble now !!!
Conor: “I love the UFC what a company”
Dana: “🥺😍❤️”
Yeah, This man is a product of Dana. He created this guy to make money for the UFC. It's all fixed man.
Bobby Brown Yeah, he created him in his lab.
@@evertking1 yeah they have a lab 500 ft underground where they custom constructed Conor
It’s like Dana is Hydra & Conor is Cap
Im sure Its crossed his mind to start his own mma company deep in to the future
Hate him or love him, we're gonna miss him when it's all said and done.
I agree. This guy undeniably took the UFC brand to the next level.
I love conor and i will miss him if he say goodbye but i believe this is not the end i think we will see him until he's 34 to 35 but after that i dont know if we will see him again
Adam Catterall’s name deserves to be all over this video. Fantastic interview
Dokz he has a podcast too called Fight Disciples. Less serious interviews, more from a fan perspective, his own fight predictions etc
Martin C stop making accounts adam😂
He licks his lips too much
Interviewer is great at keeping it a great mixture of professional and just a friendly conversation
I agree
Word!
And never going anywhere near the rape allegations...company man.
2016 Conor: El Chapo
2020 Conor: Buzz Lightyear
😂😂😂😂
El Chapo was 2016 mate
@@grimmywizard changed it for u
@@zacshifler all good bro
2 weight belts and beyond!
This interviewer got answers from Conor as if he was a therapist
William Roche wht?
@@rochemedia give a credible source or some hard evidence or it's not true
Dis is not a thurapee session
@@Romeoz06 haha I remember that interview
That's the best version of him mentally, respectful and humble, calm cool and collected. I'm a khabib supporter but I always liked Conor skills and fighting style.
Get this guy instead of Ariel’s face. He deserves the recognition and attention. Good stuff.
No , Ariel > anyone
@@habibzain8034 Ariel has the charisma of a wooden plank sorry
He does a podcast with another guy called fight Disciples Podcast it’s brilliant
Ariel may be annoying at times, but he conducts SUPERB interviews and always asks ALL the questions we want to ask and gets the best out of his guests (e.g. see Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, Masvidal and recent Conor interview),
Bart Rennen it’s not that I dislike Ariel, this guy is preferable, but Ariel is thorough and asks the questions we want asked, mostly the fighters just hate him, but he’s a good interviewer
Finally MMA has a credible interviewer.
Cause he avoids the rape allegations? Yes, good little interviewer.
@@seenit09 It's been asked and addressed before. Why keep asking the same question?
@@krisjackson5500 Cause it stays unanswered !!
Him, Brett, Ariel, all UFC Puppets, fake journalists !! They're journalists when it suits them
A lot of very famous sports stars get the same allegations seems people always out there trying to make an easy buck, innocent until proven guilty
He couldn't have said "fit, healthy, and ready" any jollyer than he did
13:00
Zodiac the nod💀
@@brianscalabrine6481 💀😭
😂😂😂
The interviewer asking all the right questions, as a fan.
Best interviewer in the business at the moment....hands down.
His name ??
Cause he avoids the rape allegations? Yes, good little interviewer.
seenit09 wtf does that even remotely have to do with this fight?
seenit09 he’s answerd it before why keep answering the same question
He makes the interviews very conversational. BT Sport has the best MMA crew
I see haters loving him already, cause they all know he's about to take whats his.
Shut the f up
What's his?
Donald has a chance to end his career once and for all, 2019 was without connor and it has been the best ufc year ever
thank Khabib for teaching him his lesson
@Anton Mccann tap tap tap tap
It’s nice to have an interview with Connor where the interviewer doesn’t have a pre loaded agenda trying to stir things and get a wild reaction. Instead we end up with a smiling Connor talking about ToyStory and his son. 👍🏻
Ariel is absolutely the complete opposite of this interviewer
Ariel is a 'mixer' in my opinion. He stirs the pot of two different fighters and plays them off against each other. He'll do anything for controversy. There's a snivelling aspect to him.
Ariel is a snake
{{{Ariel Helwani}}}
@@declanmcdonnell6965 ITS a good aspect for Fight fans
He seems so different now. Different in a good way. Humble and focused. Really hope he wins on Saturday
FAKE
@@kosmasgr606 he's not fake his persona he shows in press conferences is to draw in crowds and is not his real persona. He looks humble and focused here.
He always has been this way.
Khabib fans try to make him seem like some wild man.
The man's a business genius and a fighting legend, he has been humble for most of his career.
Khabibs team on the other hand are sneaky bad people.
@@NoName-wi2ww How are they bad people? Iwouldn't even call conor bad. He's just arrogant with anger issues
@The Wave lmaoooo
'I've never spoke to the man in me looiiff'
Check out my Conor interview from 2019
Tyson fury a liar lmAo 😆
Such a good interviewer, need more people like this
The world needs better interviewers?
@@seenit09 yeah man, so many interviewers these days are bland and ask the same questions
@@seenit09 Yes. A good interviewer will bring out honesty and the true character and intentions of the person they're interviewing, in most cases. The media has a bad habit of prying for negativity or fishing for a statement they can headline for shock value to reel in those unable to look into things themselves.
2018 Conor: “Muhammad Ali was a very special man....”
2019 Conor: “Buzz Lightyear was a very special man...”
We re in 2020 though
And people saying he seems his more focused than ever
lmfao
He just seems like a stable person now, I've never seen him this down to earth in a interview. I like it
A beating is a good way to humble a man.
He’s always been humble lol in victory or defeat just not after the mayweather fight , everyone is just hopping on his hype train now that he’s back to how he was .
@@n15ahmet men aren't born to be humble, they're born to be humbled -Mike Tyson
D.I.Y Ninja i mean floyd didnt best him that bad
He's one of the guy who took MMA to another level.
..........Missed him badly...........
@Nat Rfc he obliterated a whole division then jumped up 25lbs to fight somebody bigger and heavier than him... double champ...
Nat Rfc Such a hater I swear to god 🤦🏻♂️
@Nat Rfc ok casual
Have to say the English media - this guy, Dan Hardy etc are a level above. Great interview
What's his name man ?
What's the interviewer's name ?!
Seems to so far above that no one even knows his name lol. I like the guy too though, lot better than Bret.
@@ashtonturner4254 someone said Adam catterall
So so true proud to be from the UK 🇬🇧 i watch and have bt subscription
now he looks like a real warrior. humble focused. feels like he is coming back.
Kushal Rahatkar thanks to khabib
@@DRJTUBECHANNEL its just completely irrelevant 😂😂😂
all the applause to khabib, definitely the
dude became humble and calm after UFC 229
Ibra Mohamed obviously!
skankhunt42 the humble part is very relevant, khabib is the reason for that.
The man is a great interviewer
No hes not lol ask the same question on different ways mutiple times
He's got a proper good poddy with Nick Peet. Check out fight disciples
Jesus Conor is looking more and more like his dad!!!!
terrorofsesameST 🤦♂️
terrorofsesameST true!
He is getting old
who is he supposed to look like? 😂😂
Around 75% guys in the world eventually do!
I love when he says “I WILL NOT be holding pads for him or anything” Conor seems to be more honest n more matured after everything it’s a great side to see 💯
Yeah no theatrics this time. Just grounded. Nice.
Khabib sucsesss make him humble
He was always like this
Getting beat down has a powerful humbling effect.
Pickle on a Pencil I wouldn’t say khabib humbled him, Theres still bad blood between them, Conor will still talk bad about khabib during press if they fought again. More like getting sober and dealing with the consequences of his mistakes outside of the ufc is what changed Conor
Love Connor I’ve stayed a loyal fan thick and thin! Good to see him focused. Grounded and BACK
The interviewer did an amazing job, he’s very professional.
Always been a conor fan, Even in the darkest times i was fan
Nicolai Severinsen same.. “can’t wait” for people to bandwagon on him wehen he wins, even tho almost everyone was talking thrash to him. The King is back.👑
Conor Mc2Belts sends his regards.
Yes 👏well done , me too.
Wow such a achievement 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yessir same
Adam is such an underrated analyst and interviewer. One of the very well spoken and articular ✌ love from India can't wait for this fight.
@Serpent Dragon knobhead
In India how can we see his fight plzz tell
@@arnabroy5974 Sony Ten 1 and Sony Ten 1 HD in English and on Sony Ten 3 and Sony Ten 3 HD in Hindi at 8:30 am on 19th January.
McGregor's one of those fighters that needs the sport, he can't live a grounded life without fighting.
Similar to fury with boxing
Crazy right. People think mma is some barbaric sport. The most calm and peacefull athlets are mma fighters.
not stepping on toes, but ufc definately made big gains worldwide with Conor, they need each other to be at their best.
@@tartarianzephyr I think connor should get special treatment till he retires, purely because he made the ufc a household name, especially in Europe.
warfighter1988 lmao making $80 million or anything close is enough special treatment
This interviewer is really good makes the fighters feel comfortable and open up
Love him or hate him, he’s a living legend. Hyped for his comeback
I wonder what those women in Dublin think?
True story
Workshy At40 espn done on that.
McGregors beard is something to be admired
it's majestic
Indeed
I'm jelous... 😭😭
I agree it’s well formed and classy
It's come back time!🇮🇪
TENNESSEE TV wrong flag
@KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV your wifes a towel.
Come back again to the next Conor video and keep watching.
Closet fanboy.
@@NoName-wi2ww Conor throws in the towel in his own fights. Tap tap tap!
@@thehh5118 khabib can't make it to fights unless it's a chained up animals that gets abused.
@@NoName-wi2ww haha one is an animal and one is a human being. Nice try
Was never a Connor fan, but he’s really growing on me
James Gillen ......why?
Conor*
John Doe why not?
Shouldn’t it be the other way round?
Fooking casual m8 🤣
The GOAT of interviewers, probably the best interviewer of Conor I've ever seen.
This is the Conor of the Jose Era. Expect early fireworks.
@Tr ae he's not getting paid overtime.
Tr ae i agree late 2nd rd KO
@@jtenka619 well, u know, it's only business
Khabib really did humble him 😂😂😂
ofcourse
We all need humbling from time to time, I'm just glad he has changed his mindset and understands the mistakes he made in the past!
Yeah. He held onto conors legs and mage love to him on a matress
@@braders96 agree, not clowning mcgregor i actually like this version of him more
@@Rottilover21 Maybe but he still smashed his face. McGregor got mauled
Though i m a khabib fan, but it seems like this man has learned his lesson and want to become a great fighter. Will be cheering for him
I'm Irish but I was not happy with how McGregor claimed to represent the country before the Khabib fight, with the way he acted and the things he said. Only criminals here act like that.
However hopefully he has grown with experience and moved on from all that.
@@cigh7445 well said👍
Conor talking about toy story and his son melts my heart this man has matured
Lukas Speed why he punch an old man?
Silvogear tactical he matured after that
Silvogear tactical it’s what happens in pubs. Scraps happen. He wasn’t an old man. He was in his late 50s and could well have deserved it
Jor Green Well probably....but hey, the mainstream-media is what it is!Fake News around the clock...
He smacked an old bloke 8 months ago
Damn Conor is in the best mental state I’ve ever seen him in . Pure positivy
The McGregor we all want!💪
Not those women in Dublin.
Sherwin Bachiller nah
Thank Khabib for humbling the fool.
@@seenit09 Fake news
Question ask by interviewer are awesome
Like his fan asking question to him
Conor: "Tyson keeps saying me and him spoke, I never spoke to Tyson in me looiif"
Interviewer: "He's coming this weekend"
Conor: "Tyson's a good man. I like tyson. He's a phenomenal boxer"
Tyson fury?😂
He didn't outlast Nate, he just did his best to survive after taking the lead on points. It was still a phenomenal performance though
So outlasted him...
@@1xBossup Outlast: verb: live or last longer than
Tony Fergusson is a type of guy ...... that's it. No jokes.
lol
Hahahahaha
Everyone says when khabib rematches conor like if he already beat Tony. No one says if Tony becomes champ and beats khabib. Then conor has to go against Tony that to me is more dangerous for conor than khabib is.
Chris Batson hell nah
@@lucasmixesitup khabib is one deminsional.
He's given the best quote so far this year "people say I'm toast but I'm the bread" haha love or hate the guy he is entertaining
Check out my Conor interview
Lol Khabib really did humble him as promised
And conor made him rich as promised
Boring
Nah
He should stay humble. It suits him much better ....
@Atif Ismail murmurmurmur
It’s so good hearing conor talk about mma. His passion is inspiring

2018-2019 : savage 🤬
2020 : MONK 😇
Imagine Tyson fury and Conor together in an interview hahaha pure banter that hahaha
Eh? Tyson isn’t a big talker
@@domzbu he is a kicker.
Think he means Tyson Fury
@@domzbu Tyson fury, not Mike Tyson
Conor's mind and focus are very sharp at this point💯🔥 that's where u want it to be before a fight. He wins this upcoming fight.
PUT THIS MAN AS A VOICE ACTOR FOR THE NEXT TOY STORY!
nitroxize *Andy buys a new toy*
Conor : who da fook is that toy?
Buzz Lightyear's Irish model? lol
Feels good to have McGregor interviews nearly every day rather than 1 a year
I really feel that Conor is back, I'm excited to say the least.
A couple of interviews before the fight this time. No drama. He’s focused. I have confidence in him.
the interviewer is like the watcher in marvel listening to a hero's story
Cause he's avoiding the rape allegations?
For 1 he can't talk about it why bring it up and piss him off? I would bet my house he's innocent
Conor out here making me think I’m watching undisputed.
“Hmmm” “hmm”

Conor Mcgregor: Hmm
Geralt of Rivia: Mmmm
Who else remembers that sweet laugh back in 2015?Man I missed that laugh
I remember Tyson did an interview a few month ago and the interviewer asked him if he has met Connor and Tyson said yeah they met up and went on a night out together and that hes a top guy and they got loads of escorts 😂 now we find out they have never even met 😂 Tyson is funny man 😂😂
Lies, tyson never saod anything of the sort 😂
@ agree, nothing like that was ever said
Certainty seems focused and ready for a huge performance.
Fantastic interview
Conor “ I predict these tings” McGregor
He didn't "outlast" Diaz in the 2nd fight, he literally ran from him
Rewatch it bro
"I'm not holding mits for him or anything" haha
Haha taking a jab at till maybe?
@@craigfawcett5745 Quite possibly!

Looiff
Lmao he lied 😂
What part of the interview
he is a mad man lmaooo
Lmao saying he outlasted Diaz, he turned and scurried off multiple times for air.
If theres ever a toy story sequal, he'll be involved in a voice over role. Im calling it
I have to ask whats with all the toy story stuff

He is talking about Tyson fury
He talking about fury doofus
Its sad that some people cant follow or live their passion, no matter how small it is
Khabib really sent him down the roster, never thought McGregor would be chasing frankie edgar and cowboy cerrone, khabib taught me 1 thing in life, action talks and bullshit walks
The interviewer deserves credit for this, he made Connor relax and the flow just went smooth
Khabib said he will be humbled after the loss and he was right.
hes fighting cerrone who is humble and he doesnt need to sell fights to make bank anymore
Khabib is right his make this man humble...
Professional interviewer. Good job man.
More impressed with the interviewer. Comes close to Costello.
This is the first interview I’ve seen on BT about MMA but can I just say that this interviewer is great. It felt more of just a conversation, he didn’t try to get a reaction or stir something up and it was so refreshing. Well done
Conor “happy days” McGregor
Conor "Happy Days" Mcgregor ...
he's got a smile on his face just thinking about it. I love it, lol.
I’ve been a Conor fan for years now, always stood by him etc. can’t help but admit the Conor that showed up to the last conference to this one now, is a complete 180, I really like the humble but confident angle he’s coming at this from. Seems more real with himself and everyone around him.
This interviewer is so *consistent* and incredible with this interviews
He Will chin check that cowboy in the first 45 seconds
*Khabib got me to this sport*
This interviewer has done very well. Really created a friendly & genuine enviroment for Conor & himself. Good man
It's easy to do that with softball questions
This man is 1000x better at interviewing people that Ariel "Shitstarter" Hallawollabingbang
Never in life. Ariel Helwani is #1 by FAR.
Ahh big nose 👃 is the 🐐 tbf.
Conor said Tony wasn't signing to face Khabib in Brooklyn, and he was offered it, and accepted it? So, what happened? Can't be true. Dana'd have benched Tony so fast and unfairly.
man khabib make this guy act normal and humble
