A Day in Dublin With Conor McGregor

On July 17, 2014, we took a stroll around Dublin with Conor McGregor. This interview was shot two days before McGregor's return fight in Dublin versus Diego Brandao.
In the interview, McGregor talks about his rise in popularity, his humble beginnings, how his career almost never was, his future plans, and much more.

We need more of these types of interviews. The format is very laid back, relaxed and you get to walk around and talk as opposed to stare into a camera in a studio. 🙂

[@360Fov]

There's a small window to grab these guys on their ascension before they become too big to do stuff like this, whether it's because they're way too busy, or crowd would go nuts, or they just don't have any interest in building their profile in a very candid way, which sucks because it's such a good format. I feel like Israel has one or two of these in him before he outgrows it - although he's an Internet kid so maybe he'll always be up for it.

[@Ghost-ub3rh]

+joyfulvulture You really are stupid. All I'm doing is acknowledging how far Conor's come in 2 years...you can't even appreciate a person's hard work and success without being called a 'fanboy' these days. If it's any consolation I wanted Nate to win the second fight, but I respect Conor. And btw, Conor will always be more successful than you, even if he gasses after 2 rounds.

[@Ghost-ub3rh]

***** You seem emotionally damaged...I understand you're jealous of Conor but there's really no need, everyone can be successful. You seem like one of those typical internet haters that insists they don't like someone (in this case, Conor), but yet watch all their videos. Get a grip.

[@Sangerino]

To be fair, all other fighters in the UFC are working just as hard. At least all the top 5s in their respective divisions. Genetics have been kind to Conor. Long reach for his height. Amazing spatial awareness and distance management etc. A mouth that sells PPVs and a bit of luck like every fighter has.

[@Ghost-ub3rh]

Sangerino That is true tbf, I was just acknowledging how far he came. He's definitely got a natural advantage with the reach and power.

This is a fantastic video. This is the real Conor behind the facade he puts on for the press.

[@HarlequinJitsu]

Hard work beats talent. Connor works hard. That's why he's talented. It's just work & knowing your outcome. Hold on to the vision. Stand in your truth. Know. Your. Outcome.

[@PsychotropicThunder]

Lets say a there is a man who has every single characteristic you just listed. Absolutely ripped, confidence through the roof, dripping in Versace fabrics, eats problems for breakfast, and his first word as a baby was “success.” Then you have a woman who is literally the lowest of the low judging by the equivalent desirable gender characteristics for females. You listed the main ones for males. What ab females? Nurturing, independent, billionaire CEO, anything less than kim kardashian or any top model wont cut it. Those are the only women who can get guys like that. The women who expect a guy with all that but literally have absolutely nothing to offer will get a bug slap in the face by reality later in life its sad

[@nicksprofile]

i love the part where he said that somewhere down the line he wanted a 5 round war. And when Ariel asked him who could give that to him he said nobody. And then he said, "at least in the featherweight division." Which is totally true because he mopped the floor with every featherweight he fought. It wasn't until he fought diaz at 170 that he got his 5 round war. It just shows how good this guy is at assessing and predicting things. Everything he visualizes is so accurate and it all almost happens to a tee.

It's great to see this, sometimes looking at Conor now as great and entertaining as he is its always nice to go back to the essence. The early days. The kid from Dublin with big dreams on his way to smash the game and the whole of pop culture. Became a fan and put this guy as a wallpaper across all social media and nobody at the time knew who he was.

look at conor back in the day.. with dethrone gear on... i like it this way. The conor "all dressed up" is awesome too but this is cool. Relaxed and really cool interview

[@rzrselliott]

Thanks for the content, Ariel. Best reporter in the biz.

[@charliecjl]

So down to earth, so relaxed, walking talking legend

[@ThePlaystation2000]

He is so real, what you see is what you get 100%...

[@MrNgalani]

This man is motivation for all fighters all over the world , the real motivation!

[@bw4500]

MrNgalani truth. you related to Alain ?

[@jodybriggs1075]

Kinda prophetic with him talking about how he wants both the early seconds KO and the 5 round war down the line. I guess he got both with Aldo and Diaz2.

[@TheSalads1]

This is so inspiring. I've been always into boxing/fighting/grappling even though I was professionaly training hockey. I fought with people who tried bullying in school without fear.I spared with friends other teammates etc. I was living in a small town didn't have a MMA/ boxing club there so I opened up something like my own club in my basement. Got friends coming in other people who trained box/kickboxing and I found that i was really talented because I was winning with people who trained in the gym before and people who didn't. This year im training in the gym trying to start fighting amateur then get into professional.

Thast great but hockey in ireland lol You would need to move to north america..I love hockey

[@AceofDlamonds]

Conor looks like a fun guy to hang with. Nerdy yet badass

[@hugo6214]

A nerd of the fight game

[@edris4846]

nerdy wtf? ???

[@Odd1x]

Ah the Attitude era, It's like he brought it to MMA lol. Hard to knock like the guy.

[@MrJosh6889]

Not so hard now.

[@nunyabizwacks6711]

i never did like him, even during this time, but i will say he was a much more sufferable person during this era than he is now

[@moved2bitchute779]

Who's here after Conor beat Cerone?

[@AA-hw5zc]

It was a good fight, wished it lasted longer tho

[@lewisjh8962]

Yep I’ve come from the future round 2, 3rd min knockout, mark my word, great victory for him.

[@produck2002]

Doctor stoppage

[@ARKOXFIFA]

What a fight! Probably one of the best that I have seen

[@moved2bitchute779]

@@lewisjh8962 Indeed all. It was nice to see the old Conor again.

[@IkiGem]

Beautiful, will always be one of those I look up too. Thanks Connor, this was a sweet reminder of who I am and where I am, where I want to be.

[@IamWoodstaman]

Watched the whole thing. I love this style of interview, I've seen both Rampage talks and now this one. I miss this Mcgregor, he has become carried away in recent years. His facade is too thick, I'm not convinced he can give a candid interview like this anymore. I relate to Conor.

[@crabapple8868]

you really get a sense of how long Conor's arms are in this video, as their swinging by his side while dressed in normal clothes. A large armpsan to body height ratio helps a lot in MMA.

[@nunyabizwacks6711]

yup, just look at Jon Jones. 6'4 with a 7 foot wingspan. Has a bball players build. Thats why i always say if mma ever starts paying enuff to attracting NBA type caliber athletes, it will be a whole different story. Just imagine if someone like Lebron or Giannis had trained mma their whole lives instead of bball. Would easily be heavyweight champ stacked up against the current heavyweight rosters

[@seanr521]

Great McGregor video. He's come a long way since. Recently lost to Khabib but I hope he can come back again...have never followed a sportsman as closely as McGregor. He'll be remembered for a long time to come.

[@TheWsteed]

I absolutely love this. Great job, Ariel.

[@lewisjh8962]

This fanboy mcgregor is the Conor that the community fell in love with, the person who stood in front of his home crowd & inspired people, he spoke truth, he achieved the unthinkable, & now he has to try visualise himself before this successful career & think about what he is doing it for, to live to achieve dreams, be the best fighter in the world. If he beats cerrone I think it would be crazy if he could fight at Celtic football stadium, in Scotland of course but the Irish are just two steps away, it would be the best atmosphere any MMA fan would see.

[@mdptg1990]

Conors a lot more real, innocent and humble here compared to nowadays, thats what fame does.

[@nolachino504]

Manny Jhutty 💯

[@Longarmshortarm]

This is away from the big lights and cameras, of course he sells it to the big media. He's the same person still behind doors

[@mdptg1990]

Haddon Donaghue he probably is man, thats why i sense lots more realness back them. but the old era of mcgregor was always my favourite if you get what i mean.

[@mdptg1990]

***** i 100% know that, i just feel like he has to up the gimmick everytime theres a press conference and top himself

[@yzwme586]

just like he said, hes trying to secure for his family. he knows talking markets the fight even more. more people = more money = retire earlier.

[@andreasconstantin9757]

Nice! This interviewer is killing it! Best interview with Conor so far!

[@nafeesahtynetta]

This is so powerful. I think he is a master at keeping the image of how he wants his life to be.

[@chicorico78]

Great Interview - you can't help but Love this guy

[@chicorico78]

what a guy

[@cynthiapreston7170]

Conor really seems like a great guy. people base their opinions on how he is during the press conferences, but thats stupid to do. hes in a totally different state of mind during that, verses how he is in a video like this.

[@cynthiapreston7170]

Tai Lopez doesnt mean hes a totally different person

[@lamechita24]

he is humble but the more trash talk you do then the haters will buy more payperviews, he learned from watching mayweather that more people will watch to see if you lose but in the end its more money

[@mirandawinters9045]

Cynthia Preston I lob ew. I fookin lob ew.

And now lol
