[@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

[@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"

[@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 ;)

[@tehSJS]

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

[@skwaaaaa]

Lmfao

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

[@NC-ck5oj]

Unbelievable montage at the start. Great stuff

[@danthemantmac]

Don't underestimate John Kavanagh's greatness as well

[@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.

[@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.

[@DigitalDHnation]

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

[@decmadine]

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

[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

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.

[@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

[@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

[@o-kay368]

Dude oozes charisma. Gotta love him

[@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.

[@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 *

[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

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

[@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

[@dr.stevebrule4029]

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

[@azertyb1593]

The Old days

[@youngboy258]

The good old days

[@InteristaS5]

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

[@CommandoMaster]

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

[@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 !!!!

[@jamieMccarthy4Good]

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

[@yesjoeri1]

His true power is his confidence.

[@jasonodom9277]

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

[@IPADDR3SS]

Good video, Conor bless.

[@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.

[@codyj8763]

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

[@Joesilvpb]

Quality Interview and overall video

[@js53]

one of my favorite interviews to this day.

[@WolF911x]

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

[@ladev91]

lmao he said a retired skateboarder

[@Matt-ne3cl]

king conor..!!

[@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]

[@SavingPrivateBob]

[@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!

[@gilbosh1]

Great interview.

[@danamba7]

Those shots at the beginning were incredible.

[@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.

[@JaygodaGenius]

I love this guy Mcgregor, would love to meet him. Everytime i watch him he's got such a great persona #KingOfHisCraft

[@jkkway]

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

[@averagebloke4474]

"media obligations" hahahaha I love him.

[@LandscapeMaster33]

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

[@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.

[@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 !

[@iRoyalpriesthood]

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

[@Intershockni]

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BIG C !

[@SeanT649]

Excellent interview

[@massimopincione6975]

....Like his style...he talks and talks and talks but he fucking backs it up!

[@blkstone5272]

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

[@lukepowell2801]

what is the name of the song just before the interview?

[@codyzender5077]

Can someone PLEASE tell me what the name of the song used at the beginning is?

[@a.7801]

Great interview. That interviewers hair though !

[@Cm1st]

Where in Dublin is this filmed? What coffee shop?

[@mindsprawl]

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

[@sebastiansfeci1305]

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

[@urgenvolt8108]

[@eoinsmith1996]

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

[@samaellandaverde6229]

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

[@johnvarian8616]

[@xXMikeyBhoy67Xx]

Looks like it

[@barryhamilton7845]

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

[@Monsieur7295]

Can someone please explain to me what he means by sequences?Il veut dire quoi par "sequences"?

[@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.

[@greendogg83]

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

[@magicarpet101]

Beginning montage was epic. I hope the fight is not stopped prematurely. I want a good fight, the fight with Chad was stopped to early in a lot of peoples eyes, mine included. I think Aldo is a different beast, gonna be a hell of a fight. I want Conor to win but this is definately the boss fight, if he wins this hes unstoppable.

[@magicarpet101]

***** 2 seconds longer and I would have been happy with the decision. Ive seen a guy out cold, fight was not stopped and he won. Thats a bit extreme but I just want it to be clear the other guy is completely done. He wasnt in that position for very long. Matter of opinion anyway, I know Im not alone on this though, there was a lot of dispute on twitter about the decision.

[@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

[@Mike-zo6vj]

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

[@user-nn5jw5ko6c]

One of the most inspiring people of our time

[@MrMustard1993]

What song did they use at the start?

[@bogdy2craizy]

Conor McGOAT

[@markopolo6640]

No homo but I absolutely love this guy.

[@namritmehta4305]

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

[@danos1011]

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

[@francodepp8527]

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

[@VV070]

Great intro !!!!

[@oolongish]

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

[@KnifingDil]

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

[@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

[@troyterrell5666]

Conor a real nice everyone who meets him say he a nice guy

[@bobchang8708]

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

[@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.

[@WeAreAllSlaves1]

It will be on bt sport

[@finipops]

ANybody know the music at 1:33? Thanks

[@louisparratt]

I think this sport is fucking brutal, but if I really enjoyed it I think this guy would be my demigod

[@johnwright2549]

conner doesn't mess abaut he might say afew things like jose wount turn up on night but if he doesn't turn up wer is his career going after that im not dissing jose1 bit BUT I JUST WANT TO C THESE2 FIT ONCE AND FOR ALL IF RED THIS WHATS YOUR PREDICTS FOR THE FIGHT???

[@howiryadoon]

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

[@sbmmishorseshiet2319]

His mentality is inspiring

[@luiecordova7706]

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

[@tommysotomayor4368]

Conor reminds me so much of ragar from vikings. so Fucking awesome

[@12laiton]

He's nervous for the fight as soon as the interviewer mentioned ALDO watch conor

[@luftim]

+12laiton 13 sec ....

[@McTee08]

that leather hitting chad was a beautiful sound!!!

[@alexzamora4454]

After December 12th, Conor will have no legs. He is done. Jose will finish this man.

[@salexwired7845]

You sure, The Champion. Conor McGregor knocks out Aldo in 13 seconds.... But that's none of my business

[@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.

[@alexmacky3528]

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