"I will be a ghost in there. He will think I’m there, and then I am not there. He will think I am not there, and then I am there." Conor McGregor just did a Bruce Lee there. #Legit

[@hiteshwar143]

allskoolguru all his quotes are modified quotes

[@kenny_flo]

What is Bruce Lee’s original quote to that?

[@kenny_flo]

I know I’m gay when I say this but Nope. I think he was just trolling. Never found any quote remotely similar to that

[@melktert1763]

He did a Bruce Lee meaning he made a good quote

[@whatzupperent.4036]

That shit gave me chills up my spine hearing that and knowing the outcome. Omg so epic

[@kvbvl7285]

The thing about this is you can feel his Zen energy, it’s not like he’s just capping for the sake of it. Every sentence, the way he engages, his speech patterns etc. You feel the energy. Conor is diff man. True student of the sport.

Just look at the huge diffrence between conor here and conor against khabib... it says it allll

[@steverogers7456]

What does it say? He was loud and outspoken against Eddie Alvarez then dominated him. He was still the same way in the rematch against Nate and won. He was loud and outspoken in all of his fights when we got to the UFC until this moment and he dominated those fights. So tell me again, what was the intent on your statement?

[@travismartin4863]

@@steverogers7456 theres loud conor, then theres frantic scared conor... Watch the first press conference he did with khabib.. there was no audience, it was dead quiet and conor litteraly looked like he was going to faint. Hes jumping and screaming and drunk, meanwhile khabib just smiled at him. Conor was worried about khabib. Look at him here, hes as cool as a cucumber 😎

[@steverogers7456]

@@travismartin4863 I respect your personal opinions that you are entitled to. My opinions- The one thing Conor never has been is Scared of an opponent. He was infuriated that press conference was not open to the public and was intentionally taking things to a new level for entertainment and to try to get inside Khabib's head. I will admit that I think Conor never got in Khabib's head, but instead motivated Khabib to maul him harder. Conor got beat by Khabib, fact. At the end of the day, Conor has always been more entertaining and always will be.....as a promoter and fighter. Khabib is just plain boring to me....my personal opinions.

[@Mehooo]

@@MICKYMAVYT Khabib almost knocked out Connor. He is a better striker too than Connor, we saw it in the fight. Khabib striking > Connor striking

[@tomamine]

This was a legendary press conference.

[@fastguitars4380]

The real fight for Conor wasn't beating Aldo, as that was simple......the real fight was actually getting Aldo in the cage. This is why Conor seems so relaxed, ... its because he knew the real fight was over, as Aldo was actually there this time.

[@Viper-sn5cx]

Motivation right here. Miss the old school hungry like a lion philosophical zen like connor. Now hes money mcgregor lol

[@Copemaxx]

Conor's IQ and eloquence got him so far. Whenever you give a mic to other fighters they keep saying same shit 'it is what it is', 'its the best shape i've ever been', 'and still, im not losing this'. Conor's speech is almost like a book, he smoothly transforms his vision into words and passes it into the audience depicting a picture in their mind and attracting interest. Legit intellect is everything in this world. Also yea, its motivational to see old Gregor videos, he was young up and comer with not much money in the bank, hungry to kill anyone on his path, without a family, fully dedicated to his career.

Even conor does't know how good he is, as he did better than he predicted

[@robertgerrard]

I'm from Dublin 🇮🇪💯❤👊👊 and it was great to see an Irishman go to the UFC and not be the "token Irish guy and take over not just take part".It was refreshing to see an Irish athlete not just be comfortable with being in the UFC and doing what he said he would do which was be a 2 division champion and he did it in a funny way with great charisma and skill it's just great looking back at his rise and I hope he isn't finished just yet but we'll see Dustin is different and got that win back so the trilogy fight will be interesting and let us know if Conor has more to offer and more chapters to his story .

[@samcharles8928]

I have been an mma fan my whole life but now something crazy happened Conor mcgregor changed the perception of the sport. For the first time u can correlate the ufc with money and Conor has done that. Mma fighters were always thought of as employees with low salaries, and now Conor have changed that.

[@Spinning99]

luke looks pissed next to mcgregor haha

[@MrChomskyist]

luke has been fighting for years and was a champion in Strike Force, he's a legit fighter and McGregor is pretty relatively new so hence why majority of guys in UFC hate him and with good reason.

[@mygrandmasirishmcgregonato3829]

Conor called luke a schmuck.He should be thanking Conor for the ppv payday

[@MrChomskyist]

+MattUT777 I'm not saying he isn't of course he's a fighter and good also but he was fighting in Ireland's regional circuit, and frankly i don't know much about those leagues unlike Strike Force so many great fighters and champions have come out of there like Luke Rockhold, Nick Diaz, Jacare de souza, Paul Daley, Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey etc

[@Triangulove]

+Spinning Fuck Luke. I hope Weidman gives him a New Yawk ass beating.

[@MrChomskyist]

+MattUT777 obviously, and there's nothing wrong with that if anything more props to Connor, I'm just pointing out these guy's have been putting in work longer than Connor and they feel like they're not getting there dues. We have to remember Connor hopped over everyone because of his attitude and persona also his talent in fighting helps but he jumped over guy's who've been giving wars for the UFC funny enough Benson Henderson and Jim Miller spoke on this and those two are warriors especially jim miller in that luazon fight.

Its not that he's hurting . Conor has been on the road for almost a year and half . He's not been home for more than a month in so long . I trained in sbg for a year last year and saw him once . I feel tired when I watch him answer the same questions day in and day out on different news channels
