[@bluwng]

The reason I admire Conor and love watching his videos is his mindset. This is the same mind set you need to succeed at anything in life, this mentality is what I use at work.

[@danos1011]

+bluwng he is very inspirational.

[@leonreaper90]

+bluwng Admit it, you clean toilets.... XD

[@dylanjones268]

+Leon Reaper So what if he cleans toilets? The best toilet cleaner is still better than an average douche bag.

[@thevideowatcher]

+bluwng you damn right, always a pleasure to watch Conor! Great fighter, great mentality!

[@cianjordanprodutions9568]

+Theo Wallcot I thought a arsenal

[@TheMissing8]

Loved how calm John looked on the side, and the little laugh as Conor began throwing elbows from the bottom. Says a lot about that team, and the faith they have in their training.

[@amkeane]

I had the lucky opportunity to win meet and greet with Conor and honestly saying... he is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Such a down to Earth guy! Doing Ireland proud!

[@Jafmanz]

+Kourgan76 lol your one of those people who buys into the swager and the hypew.. watch this interview did you?

[@HydroBud98]

+AnneMarie Keane You now carry the gift... you would be wise to put this towards your goals in life.... haha I just had too.

[@lunaticz0r]

+AnneMarie Keane id totally meet you too if i was conor, but im not so i wont. sadly!

[@wrongturn2332]

lucky you....that must've been awesome.

[@Jafmanz]

***** what you should try and understand is that anyone in the public eye wether actor, musician,politician or fighter. is first a person ap[plying thier trade and second a performer the two are interchangeable and often the line is obscure. mcgregor has been shot to stardom in a short time frame he will settle down but right now he is ridning a monumental wave of euphoric fame! underneath the swag and the posture is a man who is full of heart and full of salt! if you cannot recognise this dont worry your a product of the media generation and in time you will learn to distinguish reality ;)

[@weeknob7979]

hardcore boxing fan, but I'm now hooked on mma thanks to conor mcgregor this guy's a breath of fresh air absolutely everything you want from an entertainment sport

[@forprogressiveminds]

+Allan Hope Cool. check out Michael Page too and you'll soon realize how boring boxing is.

[@jonjonesspeedbagfatfuckcor989]

+C-Mac G(OAT) the God will KO "Jose the Weasel" STIFF on Dec 12th Jon Jones too.

[@theboxingczar]

+Allan Hope Ironically I see much of Mayweather in McGregor... the flashy suits and nice cars, "I'm the highest draw, my fight was the biggest fight in history," and the absolute unflinching self-belief.

[@massimopincione6975]

+theboxingczar except....floyd is a runner...this guy here id a damn hammer

[@weeknob7979]

+Oioio Muflergi floyds a rich undefeated "runner"

[@NC-ck5oj]

Unbelievable montage at the start. Great stuff

[@tehSJS]

"Reebok sent some gear over and it said interim, i said what the fuck is that interim doing on my shit?"

[@skwaaaaa]

Lmfao

[@danthemantmac]

Don't underestimate John Kavanagh's greatness as well

[@DigitalDHnation]

"Not everyone is happy to see a man succed" Spot on Mcgregor

[@BulletProoFShiNobi]

Anyone who can't comprehend Conor's greatness are sick demented little children.

[@BulletProoFShiNobi]

terminator360tm Ma Mann!!

[@richardherzog5405]

Conor will fall just like Rousey!!! YES

[@richardherzog5405]

***** Conor beat NO ONE. He is fighting in a small division . Wait til he meets guy his size THEY will destroy him. Ronda was a one trick pony and so is Conor. He has no take down or ground game. Ronda has no boxing or muy Thai. They both have huge egos and Will both be out of the game soon.

[@richardherzog5405]

***** Dustin is crap. Mendes on two weeks notice took him down at will. Siver as you call him is a has been. Crap fights. Soon Aldo will destroy him and if CONOR doesn't retire and he moves up. He won't have a chance. LEARN!!!

[@richardherzog5405]

***** Eat shit. Obviously you have 0 wisdom. He even said the division sucks. Now put that in your AZZZZZ.

[@jules21095]

Man, I have come to love this guy. His mentality, his approach to life, his work ethic, his brashness, his intelligence. He's the reason I'm into UFC now. I'm a hugeeee boxing fan and huge mayweather fan and this guy reminded me of Floyd instantly. Their obsession to be the best and how they don't care about anything else, it's attracting. Makes you wanna tune in more and more. Mcgregor has it all man, he's special. And this interview is pure gold, a peak into his mind, golden. Dec 12th can't come any sooner, I tell you.

[@redcommando1]

How the flying fuck can people not like this guy? I'm quite a shy and reserved person in 'Real Life' who hates cocky, in your face people, but this dude... this dude is legit. He's hysterical, charismatic, genuine and our future GOAT. All hail our future King!... and he also predicts these tings

[@12laiton]

Aldo will kill him

[@crankyloue]

+12laiton yeah keep telling your self that...cheers mate

[@VladTolokontsev]

+redcommando1 hi, man. Help me please, i'm trying to translate this interview into Russian, and i can't understand what Davis said from 6:55 TO 7:03. Can you write his words in English right there, please!:)

[@Brandon_N420]

I 100% agree with you.

[@PoojaSharma-qe8ne]

rttrgdy 68876666666666

[@RambusH]

Say what you want about mcgregor but at least he brings a whole new form of entertainment to ufc. Nice to see things spiced up, not to mention how skilled the man is. Fairplay hope to never see him lose.

[@Pianosnail12]

The way he finished Mendes will forever be one of his greatest TKO's, from being smashed about for a round and a half on the floor to then get up and just destroy him

[@grimmywizard]

He knew it was 4.45 on the clock and he had 15 seconds. And he knew standing up he's a god

[@J1283-s1k]

Just everything about it man. People say 'Oh, Mendes repeatedly took him down' but look at his great takedown defence and how he controls the situation on the floor with repeat elbows. People say 'Oh, Mendes gassed' but forget how Conor was the one who gassed him by constantly hitting him in the stomach with his whole arsenal (like Oliveira did recently to Poirier). People say 'Oh, Chad fought Conor on only two weeks notice' but forget that Conor was also fighting a different opponent on 2 weeks notice and was doing so while managing an ACL injury that happened during training for Chad meanwhile Jose pulled from the contest with a bruised rib. People say 'Oh, looking back Chad gave Conor the hardest time' and while that's true compared to Conor's other fights, people ignore how the entire time no matter what, Conor is talking to him, smiling, having a great time.

[@RudeBoi2971]

"An average fighter with the right mind will beat a great fighter with the wrong one" Connor Mcgregor = a great fighter with the right mind = unstoppable Jose is going down

[@kiaulespatrypia]

what an amazing mindset this guy has. For someone with low self-esteem and incofidence like me it is amazing to watch McGregor do what he does and listen to him talk.

[@o-kay368]

Dude oozes charisma. Gotta love him

[@J1283-s1k]

McGregor in his prime was the absolute poster boy for the power of the law of attraction and the power of the subconscious through faith of conviction. He'd trained himself to absolutely refuse to give any credit or belief in the idea that Jose would beat him, even when pushed by the interviewer. And look how he was able to carry that conviction.

[@IRISHBULLYBOY]

THE KING !!!

[@supercoolcol1]

aldo? aldo? who the fuck is aldo??...

[@PeterMJ100]

+supercoolcol1 Let me remind you..is the Feather Champ of the world..He has Not lost in 10 years..Held the belt for 11..defended his Belt 9 times..Now ..do you know who Aldo is??? just saying...

[@supercoolcol1]

+Elton Dorcas when you have to explain your point, you have already lost. when your explaining your loosing

[@AidanKweskin]

+Elton Dorcas still no

[@afonso101523]

lol, king? what?

[@JTKatz07]

This is honestly one of the best interviews in any sport. Connor is confident here but also vulnerable to how success is a double edged sword. His admittance to not loving the media obligations, the scheduling but his obsession with MMA that allows him to give back to his family and enjoy his life after hard work. It is more than a fighter sitting down and saying the usual talking points it’s a very insightful interview I’ve watched it over 100 times and still find myself seeing new ways he answers a question or expresses himself and his mindset. Amazing

[@imbroke365]

If I never saw an interview with McGregor I would hate the guy, but after getting to hear him talk about his life and his philosophy I've really come to like what this guy is all about. There's so much more to him than a guy like Mayweather. Nobody wants to root for Mayweather, but this guy's got a presence and charisma that few others have.

[@JeetKuneDoBelgrade]

Someone should show this to Travis Browne and explain to him what a true "champion's mindset" looks like.

[@HassanMohamoud-lg2xw]

+Martial Arts Mecca ?

[@patrickngo163]

+Martial Arts Mecca hes not a champion lol

[@JeetKuneDoBelgrade]

patrick ngo I know that. His latest video is him talking about having a "champion's mindset" ..

[@RubinRudeboyCarter]

What not how *

[@InteristaS5]

just the right amount of cocky and humble.. love this dude!!

[@dr.stevebrule4029]

I'm American but when Connor fights I'm Irish lol

[@invinciblesummer4114]

There will be no red panties night for Hozay on Dec.12!

[@invinciblesummer4114]

What I meat is, He's not going to show up....haha

[@invinciblesummer4114]

+Invincible Summer *meant

[@UnknownSouls]

+Invincible Summer Hozay Mourinho

[@seasaw1644]

There will be red pantys but jose aldo will be the one werein them not his wife ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@standalby6949]

+sea saw true because his bottled it for a Brazilian

[@cjzender]

The fucking beginning of this had me in tears, as a fighter I haven't seen something so inspiring that makes me feel like I really do want to pursue my dream of trying to make it to the UFC. I have the drive, I needed the inspiration, Connor is a damn good thing for this game.

[@jasonodom9277]

So fascinating to go back and watch these after he fulfills what he's saying

[@yesjoeri1]

His true power is his confidence.

[@jamieMccarthy4Good]

Wow, Conner is all heart. Chad hit him hard and he still took the hits and won. Amazing! Love this guy. Go Irish!

[@codyj8763]

That editing was brilliant! I'm not a huge mcgregor fan, but damn ufc needs to hire whoever edited this.

[@VinsHourOne]

The fact he's talking about taking care of his Mom and Dad, I now have a Great respect for him. Go get em Kid! The world is your oyster!

[@WolF911x]

The best question and most realistic one of the whole interview 18:39

[@milesm187]

Can't say enough about the life lessons that can be learned through McG's story. A true believer who changed his life through faith and handwork. It is in all of us, but only a few make it happen. #GoMcGregor

[@J1283-s1k]

The infinite power of the subconscious speaking the language of faith, belief and conviction.

[@js53]

one of my favorite interviews to this day.

[@charlesbronson8978]

Conor is a poet

[@andrewmyers933]

naa im pretty sure he's a mixed martial artist

[@charlesbronson8978]

+Andrew Myers Naa im pretty sure he`s an Irish

[@andrewmyers933]

+Charles Bronson naa he's just a mass of atoms

[@danamba7]

Those shots at the beginning were incredible.

[@CommandoMaster]

Great Video!!!! One of the best interviews of Conor!

[@azertyb1593]

The Old days

[@unknownuser25eight]

The good old days

[@averagebloke4474]

"media obligations" hahahaha I love him.

[@ladev91]

lmao he said a retired skateboarder

[@eoinsmith1996]

Clicked on the video, played it, 2 minutes later the video ends... I could watch this man talk for weeks

[@missionpupa]

"Know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in the hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle." - Sun Tzu Connor is one of the few fighters that can go inside another persons head and know what theyre thinking. But what is more awesome is his awareness of who he is.

[@barryhamilton7845]

From the Scottish/Irish,a true celtic warrior!!! RESPECT CONNOR!!!!

[@scullychrist823]

I love how he acts incredibly cocky, yet with his fans he's the nicest guy in the world. True lad

[@stainly7529]

AS the GREAT Muhammed Ali said "To be the best you have to call yourself the best, even if you're not, just pretend you are". Thats exactly what this kid is.

[@val_9_281]

No matter what the haters say, Conor McGregor is a true champion inside and outside of the octagon. He lives his life by the rules of "The Law of Attraction". His infinite belief in himself is the most powerful thing you can ever have. I do not want him losing to anyone. However, I am absolutely positive, that if he does, he will take it as a man.

[@KnifingDil]

Never mind that interview, I'm more impressed that they edited the liffey so well that it looks blue..

[@tykisy]

love this dude. all the hype aside, he is a humble good hearted man. and even the hype is planned. he sees what it takes in this country, to be recognized, and he played it to the hilt !!!!

[@IPADDR3SS]

Good video, Conor bless.

[@sebastiansfeci1305]

Huge fan of this dude but I gotta give a shoutout to his stylist and his tailor, they do an amazing job

[@danielbaysin4]

This dood is Inspiring If you listen to the interview it was hard for him to be even called Interim This doods mindset and Self belief Are so strong He believes in Himself He sees it and makes it Happen Top Notch of a man right here guys Much respect to this guy hes a baddass dood

[@SavingPrivateBob]

Was so excited for this interview!

[@SavingPrivateBob]

***** Already out.

[@Mike-zo6vj]

They should have made the room more soundless, I heard to many people in the back ground faintly and it was irritating.

[@mindsprawl]

Did the dictionary people redefine exclusive? This is not the first interview.

[@jessiewalker8547]

Conor and Uriah should have their own reality show, dudes are low key best friends

[@gilbosh1]

Great interview.

[@iRoyalpriesthood]

Watching the replay of the fight in the intro got me emotional :)

[@superchesman38]

I understand why he doesnt like "interim " because he is right he showed up, he fought and he won. He is the current champ. Just like when Cruz was out, barao was the champion, he won it and he defend it in Cruz absence. When mcgregor beats Aldo, mcgregor will be the unified ufc featherweight champion. I like the mindset he has as far as not having losing in his mind. He stays positive and that's the attitude and mindset you need to have in everything.

[@PS3Vids98]

You can't hate this guy... he chats shit, but backs it up.. not many people can do that constantly. The man's one of a kind

[@darkmatter4768]

cannot believe this due fought with 80 percent torn acl with no excuse win the championship or not this dude is on different level

[@blkstone5272]

YES! Thank you for the upload. Absolute fucking legend.

[@sbmmishorseshiet2319]

His mentality is inspiring

[@Joesilvpb]

Quality Interview and overall video

[@V20-u9z]

One of the most inspiring people of our time

[@howiryadoon]

"and they feed me a bannana and ask me to dance"

[@craigodriscoll4496]

Whatever you say about Conor McGregor, he has done it all. He has the mindset of a champion and if you dont believe you are the champion, you never will be.

[@Matt-ne3cl]

king conor..!!

[@gilbert9574]

I really want to know where to get that hoodie that he wear at 14:47 , Cant find it in the Reebok website, anyone else know?

[@anissweb]

Epic interview !

[@h.j.w2783]

10:27 "you look like a 50 year old retired skateboarder" HAHA lmao

[@Streamboss2504]

Hardest Working! Highest Paid! All Real! No Fake Shit! The King! The GOAT! CHAMP!

[@yamabushi_nate7825]

Conor starts to get irritated when he asks him what if he loses. He has to understand that to be at that level you have to think that it is destiny that you succeed. You must have 100% confidence.

[@RyanGiggsOBE]

"you look like a 50 year old retired skate border" I'm fucking gone. thats brilliant

[@dgamer7118]

he deserves much more as he is

[@francodepp8527]

Mcgregor is always a lovely guy kind at heart, he just knows how to conduct business and how to play the game.

[@LandscapeMaster33]

*When is the jose aldo / McGregor fight??*

[@SeanT649]

Excellent interview

[@fifajam72]

It's scary how accurate he actually is

[@oolongish]

Warrior, philosopher, truth-teller. Gotta like the guy.

[@incarser101]

"curled up like a bitch" "red panty night" Conor is the man

[@yashamaru61894]

If aldo does show up somebody make a note of @18:25 on wards because thats how i see the fighting playing out as well.

[@a.7801]

Great interview. That interviewers hair though !

[@alexmacky3528]

How can people hate this guy, he is the naot enjoyable Ufc fighter by a mile, no one comes close

[@lilsteffysworld]

McGregor is so legit. This guy is a true champion. I love when he talks about obsession and how he don't TINK about NUTTIN else!

[@Intershockni]

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BIG C !

[@swiperboysb6897]

that mindset broke with quickness when he tapped out vs diaz

[@greendogg83]

Best thing to happen to the UFC, an inspiration to other potentuals

[@Cm1st]

Where in Dublin is this filmed? What coffee shop?

[@ryananderson8817]

you watch this guy, your first impression is that he is cocky and arrogant. But you keep watching him and you learn that he is honest and passionate at what he does. He backs up all his claims. What is to not like about the guy?

[@danos1011]

ah he is a good man.. giving back like that... Total respect...

[@samaellandaverde6229]

Can someone please please tell me what is the song that start at 1:37 ????

[@jkkway]

Gareth A Davies, can I get the music that u use in this video from 2.45?

[@bobchang8708]

Connor is GREATNESS at it's rarest form. Greatness in flesh form!!!

[@luiecordova7706]

is that Schoolboy Q in the back at minute 1:44 ?? I think is.

[@kg5653]

Mendes did scar him 😨

[@Lildrummerboy714]

+kg5653 It's ok because scars look bad ass, but Chad on the other hand. Chad will go his whole life, and whenever people see him, they will say, " look, it's the fool who thought he could beat the Mighty Conor McGregor." That Legendary KO will be in the archives for centuries to come.

[@olafurtomasgubjartsson8385]

+kg5653 Mendes fucked Jose up! So one scar before getting knocked the fuck out....naaaah

[@kg5653]

+Roland Bozz poor sad little man

[@PeterMJ100]

+FreeThought --No due it was the Thunderous elbows from Mendes that open him up..and scarred him..stop giving excuses you lose your credibility...

[@lickaginger4916]

+Elton Dorcas You lose credibility when you dont know what you're talking about, he did put his fingers in the cut

[@travishibachi]

I'm not a neurologist hahahahahahaaha.....I fuckin love this guy. When one goes to war we all go to war. War, McGregor.
