Focused McGregor can make Dana’s hair grow back
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao😂
Lol😄😄😅😅
Dude, you deserve performance of the night purse
Undisputed comment of the year
I could literally see tears of joy in Helwani's eyes
Lol
😂😂😂👍👍👍
Don't blame him
He needs this i bet he was crying himself to sleep just watching everyone at fight island
Lmao
17:40 Talking about Khabib. Thank me later.
Hero without a cape
Thanks
Thanks dude

This isn't going to age very well. Well played Dustin!
Only if you care ya

@ryan that's arrogance.
Looks like Ariel is doing the zoom call from a police interrogation room
Straight up, I was thinking the same thing
Lmaoooooo

*34:50** I love that Conor wanted to try and get Ariel out to see the fight.* These two go way back to 2014. Great chemistry in their interviews.
2013
Ariel didn't dress like Bob Vila for this interview. I'm disappointed.
Lmfaooo I swear youtube comments are the best lmfaoo ..this made me dye laughing lmfaoo
He went with the fancy lumberjack jacket tho. A nice hybrid approach!
He had to be classy for this
Hipster*
He went low-key lumberjack though.
Conor interviews before his fights are like christmas.
💯💯💯
Christmas Eve
YES
There you have the cookies, but the milk is down here
Built on a fake premise so little kids can buy the hype?? Sure.
Ariel used his best cologne for this interview.
😂
🤣🤣🤣😝
That's hilarious...and likely true. LOLOLOL
Which is nautica for 15 bucks at marshals
Secretions Magnifique
23:13 “3-4, yes”
Us: almost cries tears of joy
Yeah and then we don't see him for 1-2 years.
No kidding. I want 3 mma fights. DP, Title, Title Defense. Christmas present for all in December or January.... Manny!!
@Partha P B Lmaoo imagine thinking porier or any ufc fighter would be a dress rehearsal for Manny freaking Pac-Man lmao
you wont see him again till 2022 now but if he does fight it wont be more than once more this year
well see him fight july 10th hopefully and then well go from there still dissapointed that it will not be in may..........

You need to post that on Conor's twitter I bet he'd like it.
now his leg is stiff
How original.
Super funny!
Conor: Let's focus on the positives
Ariel: Let's dig up every negative thing that happened in 2020
Dana is having a stroke watching this.
Dana probably was expecting every question Ariel asked, Dana knows how he is, not a single question he asked was surprising or caught anyone off guard.
Lmfao
Thought the exact same thing 🤣

"Khabib's scared to fight me" - The guy who got his face beat in for 15 minutes,then *submitted* .
You're delusional Conor left put of that ring without a scratch on his face. You probably don't fight yourself. You probably think punching is for bullies. Khabib is Mcgregor's stalker. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we find out something weird about Khabib doing something strange to Conor Mcgregor. He's his biggest fan. Talk about admiration and hatred. How do you have someone on the ground for more than 40 seconds and you still don't do nothing to him?... Khabib
@@kristiamvazquez1804 hows it going in your special needs class, do you still have to wear a helmet 24/7?
@@kristiamvazquez1804 How are you so literate yet so stupid 😂
Khabib is scared of Connor TV's and camera act is all real but when the things get serious one's scared for a reason. Like the bus incident were Khabib didn't want to come out.
Khabib definitely won that fight but dude you're talking nonsense. Khabib threw a lot of punches. But McGregor left the Octogon with a clean face. He looked no different than Khabib did if I'm being honest. Khabib hit him good once on their feet. But all those punches he threw on the ground out of anger literally missed McGregor. He wasn't even fighting back. I swear he let Khabib through 20+ hard punches.
"Khabib is afraid..."
Yeah he ragdolled you in there, let's not get ahead of ourselves Conor.
I love mcgregor but i gotta agree. At the same time he's a fighter and a proud man, he's not going to back down even after losing. And that's what i respect most.
He's trolling khabib isn't it obvious? Imagine the money they make with the rematch
@@stephancccc8176 trolling in a sense, yes, but i think it's beyond money for him and more so pride.
@@reeset3435 facts! Most fighters always lose the immediate rematch but he took it against Diaz and that was a brawl

@@user-nj1zu2nf1x I agree my friend.
Saying Khabib is scared of him is completely delusional. Khabib whooped him and made him tap. He had 1 good round and thinks he won and is still champ. 🤦🏻♂️
McGregor is still a clown
Khabib held him the entire time, there was only one round where he actually threw punches on the ground. McGregor would whoop now
Come on that is bs. Conor could have beat Khabib in that match.
@@JDog-lb7hq If you don’t like ground fighting, watch boxing or kickboxing. People even hold in those two sports. That is called reality. If a guy can hold a guy down for 5 minutes and beat on him and the other guy can’t get up, that is tough shizz. Learn to get up or not be taken down

Did a rly good job on the producing and editing of this, making it seem like there wasnt the distance there was between the two of you.
You know you've made it when McGregor, with no hesitation, offers to arrange a flight for you to watch him fight and you refuse it
Nah that's not having "made it", lol that's just Ariel being an idiot!! Ariel just scared uncle Dana will find out and have him "disappeared" while on Fight Island!! Hahah but for real how could he say no to that offer!?!?!?
Ariel only goes to places where he can wear flannel shirts. Abu Dhabi is a no-no for him.
@@InspectorButters4 lmao
He will have to quarantine when he lands so wouldn’t get to see the fight anyway lol
Dubai also not the most jewish-friendly country in the world and i would think that Ariel is jewish no ?

Id say he's looking like ragnar with a short beard with that shaven head
Don’t talk about my nephew like that ever!
“TIME TO THE PLAY THE GAMEEEEEEEEE MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH”
19:40 this is so disrespectfull once again.. Khabib accepting his mother's wish has nothing to do with beeing scared of a clown who he had almost killed that night
This remembers me quiet to when he claimed that khabibs father wasnt sick and that they just took that as an excuse ...
To this day conor couldnt take that L like a real fighter with atleast some honor
Exactly
Conor is like frieza in dragon ball when vegeta goes at least face your death with some honor and freiza blows up the planet killing them both that's the type of behavior conor portrays
@@veronicasandoval5767 that is so cooked to say
He said that because he wants to face him again ..atleast he isn't scared even after loosing
And didn't u hear what he said right after that?
This is the highest quality FaceTime ever
No doubt man. This looked like something off an episode of dateline!
Money
Almost like they both recorded themselves and edited it together afterwards 🧐
Because they're using cameras to film their faces not cellphones
You do know we’re not watching them through the lens their talking from right? Lol

He’s talking about after the fight
lol he literally took flight out of the cage to try and snatch up a second victim with his eagle claws, dillon danis
He can destroy Khabib easily in a boxing match.
@@SSJOMI lmao, great joke
@@SSJOMI LMFAO, Ya and Khabib will destroy Conor in a grappling match so whats your point??? This ain't boxing ,this is mma and Khabib is a far superior mma fighter and proved it by dominating Conor on the ground and humiliating him standing! Conor can never beat Khabib,period!!!
McGregor is a smart fella. He knows how to run a good pr campaign, whether to rile or to smooth the ruffle.
And hitting people in the mouth
@@ocmulgeeog Exactly @Robert Prendiville has a point there look how much thats brought up! Smoothed it right over.
Not really - he completely misread and mishandled the build up with Khabib so badly that Khabib never gave him the time of day for even a consideration of a rematch. Was rookie hour.

LOLL
Depends on whether Askren can get it to the ground
Ariels face lit up when Conor offered to fly him out 😂😂
I think he was embarrassed cause maybe Dana said not to allow him on the island ^^
I think he was embarrassed and tried to avoid saying that jewish are not welcome in the UAE.
Who won't bruh who won't
Was such a nice moment tho, Connor is showing a really good side of himself right now
@@chrisdebra5064 FYI, we got thousands of jewish people here in UAE. Also ariel came to UAE in the past for ufc 112.
There is no restrictions between UAE and israel other than the covid stuff.

I truly feel this is the real Conor McGregor. The new "old" bad guy Conor seems ingenuine. I believe this is really who he is at this stage in his life... when he's sober.
Oh how this comment has aged….
Love that quote "Hard things become easy when you commit yourself fully"
Crazy how Conor was like ‘let’s get Ariel out here’ what a gesture !
Ariel was the first journalist in the ufc to give him spotlight, they go way back.
Good for Ariel not being like "Dude...it's Dana, not COVID."
Conor always kinda has been supportive of Ariel, n vice versa too. Ariel always kinda gets more genuine interviews out of him.
@@gav5389 it's probably more the fact that he's jewish
I think Conor likes Ariel, he doesn't ask the same old questions like most journalists, it's like he throws curveballs and someone like mcgregor appreciates that
Coner looks and sounds like a new man, hungry and focused on the task ahead of him. Good luck Coner fa Scotland 🏴👌
18:55 - Khabib question

With Khabib starting his own entire fight promotion and spreading his massive income across his homeland and Charlie Olives doing the same to Brazil, Gaethje donating time and money, it’s such an awesome thing to see these guys never forget where they came from.
Thats true.
Yes many of them do great things, let's also not forget the bad when it comes to certain characters and that the charity of those certain characters is undoubtedly PR too, still fair dues to him.it's great to see conor leave behind the scumbag we saw over the last few years change his character and become so admirable
@@zv8291 i wouldnt be so sure about that. Conor hasnt suddenly changed. He keeps it well hidden
@@olbaprabocse9940 Like you said Conor hasn't changed one bit lol
Ariel looks like he’s being held hostage and forced to do interviews
Lmfaooooo perhaps he didnt wanna interview conor since conor called his wife a fatty
Hahahaha
@@sean-e-boy that's hilarious
Dana got them deep pockets anything is possible
He is. He works for ESPN now LOL I bet he felt more free when he had his own show.
Love him or hate him, Conor is a legend
He is a 🐐
Average.
@Pratik Garkar okay there casual
Im a huge Khabib fan, BUT how can we not like this man now.
Conor has changed, and thats the most importsnt thing. Past is past, he learnt, grew up ,matured, and I love it!
As much as I love Dustin, I do think Conor wins though via TKO.
Admittedly I am not a huge McGregor fan, but I have to say this: when he is focused, he seems unbeatable and believable when he claims it.
Tall claims were also made before the khabib fight. Lol
@@beejeepacha cool
@@beejeepacha if you aren’t a casual m8 you’ll see the difference in mental states and abilities b4 the khabib fight with past opponents and after khabib he was himself vs Donald, not during.
@@jacstark9909 I see the difference in mentality but the way I saw it was against Connor seemed out of control and not composed at all but in terms motivation he seemed more motivated than ever to beat khabib as it was very personal.
