Exclusive: Conor McGregor Full Interview

The 'Notorious' Conor McGregor sits down with us to talk about his career thus far and what the future holds.

[@tbrossable]

"You stare at your past and you'll end up staying there." "You sleep on a win and you'll wake up with a loss." Great quotes from the notorious one.

[@alexanderespada8871]

Yup! He may not know it, but what he said is scriptural!

[@smashkh8314]

@@alexanderespada8871 wtf is that even mean? “He may not know it.” He was literally ahead of his time with his mentality.

"Sleep on a win, you'll wake up with a loss." Real gems dropped in this interview. Conor could be a case study in sports psychology and mental strength in general.

Love him or hate him, the takeaway for anyone listening to Conor should be how valuable the mental aspect is to anything in life. I'm currently dealing with a serious illness and when I am feeling defeated I go on KZbin and listen to this guy speak. I immediately feel stronger. I think his mental game accounts for a large proportion of his skill set and success.

Robert Irons are you referring to how Conor thinks?

[@jjames05]

It's not "talking trash" or being arrogant. He is applying the practice of positive thinking, visualization and realization. Those who see it otherwise are, like most people, limiting themselves and don't even know it. Thank you Connor. You are a great conduit of the Universe!

[@sigthor1945]

I mostly agree with you, but I also think that he has a lot of preconceived ideas that haven't been tested yet. As we've seen with the Nate Diaz fight, never underestimate anyone. When I first heard about the Rafael dosAnjos fight my first reaction was "no, he can't win against dosAnjos". Rafael has proven over and over that he's a beast in his class. I'm glad that he's positive but as we've seen with the Diaz fight pride comes before a fall and like Rhonda Rousey he needs to reign it in. At least he's likeable unlike Rhonda.

Wet a well spoken and intelligent young man, with wit. There is nothing fake in this man, hes what Chael Sonnen wanted to be, but lacked the integrity. I can only imagine this guy in 2 years. He reminds me of ALI, talked and delivers, witty and serious. He is something special and only he himself can ruin it. He has an entire country counting on him, riding his back, motivating him.. If you understand the Irish people you know they are fighters with hearts bigger than their chest with national pride.

[@drissgreen1280]

[@ReDav1s87]

In 2021. It makes complete sense now why he isn't as hungry. He was never hungry for the fight game. He was hungry for financial security. Much respect.

[@ivansivic6676]

why is the fool fighting then,cmon he just lost aint that bad,he can ko any other lw

[@Capital2x]

I get your point but thats not exactly accurate , Conor is a true fighting man but just because you want to fight doesn't mean you'll win , being willing is only the 1st step , there are so many more factors influencing his life than just his will to fight. For most fighters , fighting is their identity , but its not for Conor because he transcended fighting. At his core he is still a fighter and he always will be he'll always have that fire and you can hear it when he speaks but its not all he is or his only identity he's became so much more than that. Something that only 4 fighters have ever achieved : Muhammad Ali , Mike Tyson , Floyd Mayweather , & Conor McGregor. Even other big ppv stars still have not completely transcended their own sport the way those 4 did. There's not much left for Conor to do he needs to set new goals but this leg break seems to have gotten his mind back on track we'll see

"I will retorn better than anyone has retorn"

[@sigthor1945]

At this point in time he was either 26 or 27 years old. He's awfully young and has yet a lot of obstacles to encounter in life. I love him because he epitomises the Celtic spirit. The Celts always had a loud mouth and a lot of bravado. They told tales of unbelievable bravery about themselves because they lived in a brutal world and it helped to bolster them for future wars. Connor is very much a Celt. A vulnerable tough guy. I didn't think he lost against Diaz, he gave Diaz a pretty mighty beating and Diaz looked a mess. In the 2nd round Diaz got a punch in to the side of Connor's head and after that he slowed down. I don't think he gassed even though Connor thinks he did. I think Connor would massacre Diaz in a future rematch. Plus I think he's great for Ireland.

[@sigthor1945]

Financially you're doing well now Connor but you're also a big spender and as you've said the fighting game is finite, so protect yourself. I'd love to see him in movies. Apart from Scott Adkins there are no action stars anymore, I'd love to see the action genre come back.

He performed great in is first two fights against low tier fighters and then was fed and under trained deigo brandao in his home town still looked very impressive it will be intresting too see how he fairs against one of the higher tiered fighters in the ufc with a full camp and if he wins with his mouth and a 4-0 record in the ufc i think his popularity will get him a title shot

[@rhysnichols8608]

My main takeaway from this is that Connor has always had lapses in motivation and is prone to slacking off, he’s one of those people who can either work at an insane capacity or can drift into slacking off. Crazy to think that after he became Cage warriors champion he thought about quitting then the UFC rang 😂 he did the same before fighting khabib and Dustin 2, it’s always been part of his character

Conors rise to STARDOM was EPIC.... Too bad all the drama changed him because he was pure GOLD..

there's no doubt Conor is a special fighter with a big personality, and not a fake forced personality but his real self and it maybe a cocky at times but every fighter needs that at this level he just verbalizes it in a different way but as special as he is he has a high risk style, and in a sport like ufc everyone has holes and this style like Silva's is a style where you can pay a big price when those holes are exposed. I just don't think he'll have anywhere near the career of a Jones or Silva or other awkward style fighters have, but he's a great talent regardless

[@ThisYoungLibertine]

think Dustin as much as i love the guy..isnt as good against more flashy and unorthodox type strikers. He also gets impatient sometimes and a bit emotional. They are both well rounded.. but conor is alot more crisp. That being said if conor has improved in ground game in the last year or so as well. This is his fight. BUT if Conor hasnt....On top of the fact that his only losses are by SUB. Dustin may get the sub on conor. I think this will be at least a 2 round fight though..i expect a back in forth fight. The longer it goes the better chance for Dustin. The answer is has conor worked his ground as good as the rest and his sub defense from the past? And will dustin get too impatient and emotional? I want Dustin to get a title shot..more than mcgregor cuz dustin has worked harder and been around longer. So i WANT him to win based only on that. But ima gunna pick against who i want considering everything ive said and go with Conor for the WIN. Im also a Louisiana here..but just tryna keep it honest.
