From Nothing to Something to Everything. Inspiring.

[@RisingTheClan]

"I felt when we stared down, I felt his right hand was twitching, which was a subtle tell for me. He is ready to unload that right hand and I feel that will be a downfall for him. if he lets that right hand go, I will not be there. I simply enter the way I enter, and that is enough, they either overextend or they shrink away, but either way it is not good for them. I will create traps and dead-space inside that octagon and i will walk him into that dead space, but all of a sudden he will be in danger. We will collide in the middle of the octagon and José will fall on the first exchange" - Conor McGregor

[@mudturtlevision]

+The King Damn.. when did he say this? Epic

[@gergemini2993]

truly mystic :) mother quote I love ........"from nothing - to something - to everything" - Connor McGregor

[@mako4874]

+cory lepire this is gonna be like pactards and flomos all over.great great fighter- but he brings it out of some people where when he fights- they think they're fighting. i don't see how a grown man can be so happy for another mans success , nationalistic pride aside, when they don't even know you or care about you. these guys will live and die for mcgregor - get ready for a long long road.

[@gergemini2993]

+Spankda Bag stop crying like a baby....face facts...all those bitches inside and outside mma are just jealous of his meteoric rise and success... pure and simple... they know its something they will never have! besides he is a showman... he is entertaining....90% of ufc fighters are walking sedatives!

[@flyingknee32]

+The King Conor "The Prophet" McGregor

[@TissDiss]

I like Conor more when he acts like this. Deep down he seems like a very kind, appreciative person.

[@archangul]

+TissDiss He always has been, people don't understand that he has other dimensions too.

[@chriser555]

+TissDiss It's not even "deep down". He's always kind and appreciative, all that other stuff is just promotion. he's a business man as well as a fighter.

[@burlhorse61]

+TissDiss so u don't know what hyping the fight means

[@tomhegean6669]

"He acts like this" this is not an act

[@homerthompson6028]

he's just doing what chael sonnen and other fighters did and that's selling himself, which increases hype thus increasing viewership and in the end will make him more money.

[@petriukas20]

as usual, very professional , very polite, very accurate and very truthful and honest and correct.

[@jesse8924]

+Johnny D polite isn't "as usual" for McGregor, but I agree he's always honest and correct.

[@arrow6366]

+Johnny D As usual? You're mistaken young man, think twice before posting drivel in public, I have half a mind to report your comment for its innacuracy.

[@petriukas20]

He has always been reasonable and polite with all the interviewers. What you gentlemen have you understand is that this is business and he is making money, promoting himself, taunting his opponents all day long. He is not only a remarkable fighter but also very smart and an extraordinary entertainer.

[@jesse8924]

Johnny D I understand all the promoting and taunting, and yes I know he's smart. It doesn't make "as usual very polite" a correct statement. Maybe specifically to interviewers he is, but not to other fighters.

[@petriukas20]

Henry T-Bags I agree with that, perhaps the statement is incorrect regarding him being polite all the time. In correction I would like to add precision to my comment: Polite with his interviewers. I take his taunting/impoliteness to other fighter as part of entertainment that he intentionally undertakes. Check his latest post about Jose Aldo on his FB page, he has spoken great words about him and has shown respect to the long unbeaten champion, thus proving that once the show is over he can reveal truthful feelings towards his opponent to the media. What do you think about that?

[@BurchyBurchChannel]

I love how Ariel understands vision and the law of attraction. Always mentions it to Conor...

[@MeechModding]

Started from the bottom now he's here

[@nicklion]

Doesn't everyone start from the bottom?

[@MicahYongo]

+nicklion no, I find not everyone does.

[@nicklion]

+Micah Yongo who the hell starts from the top and if so name me names

[@MicahYongo]

I'm talking in general terms. Life terms. But I guess if you're meaning MMA specifically, there will be those who are able to go straight into the UFC without toiling on lesser promotions because of their profile - CM Punk, for example.

[@MeechModding]

nicklion Not everyone is where Conor is right now

[@Riggsatrandom]

McGregor's striking is simply on another level.

[@arrow6366]

+Riggsatrandom No, it really isn't.

[@johnberry2678]

+Arrow Conor's timing is Pound for Pound

[@jimbomalley]

+Arrow Today, on Arrow, Arrow spends his Sunday trolling comments on all ufc videos on youtube, for sunday is a day of rest, and Arrow has no friends

[@oplepeo8318]

true

[@PapaAV]

+Lua Lavatai he's one of the best boxers in the ufc

[@hollowgam3r]

My Man Conor He Predicts these things

[@arrow6366]

+Hollow Gamer Do you know what "my man" means? It doesn't mean anything, it's meaningless slang that McGregor picked up from some 90s US films, it's something a 12 year old who doesn't understand the slang of the day would say. He also predicted Siver's 1st round KO. I wonder what happened there, hmm? Maybe Siver didn't believe the hype?

[@GeeseH]

+Arrow you lost money on the fight huh? Joker, your butthurt is astounding.

[@xeno942]

deez tings

[@CptAngelKGaming]

Meh Mcgregor is such a joke. He hasn't even defeated the Undertaker at Wrestlemania yet. He's just a loudmouth.

[@pidouble145]

+Le Pepachu lol it got me too

[@MacrosBlack360]

+Jeremiah Thomas Unfortunately he gets his fights hand picked. So the Robot fight with JDS/Cain vs Conor won't happen. Dana is too scared.

[@hectorstarboyfranca]

+Angel K.N lool

[@vincevaldez3019]

+Leon Edwards you're a brony😂

[@CptAngelKGaming]

+Leon Edwards You can't read can you.

[@Spinning99]

but but but but um um he hasnt faced a wrestler with good cardio yeah thats a new one

[@CGKf35]

Jose showed oop but his chin is still in Brazil lmaooo!

[@Mark_106]

+okezumi stuff LOL

[@arrow6366]

+Spinning Any wrestler with half a leg can destroy Conor, that's not the point - you need to find people like Chael Sonnen vs Silva I (or Alex Gus vs JJ), who don't believe the hype. As soon as a person like that steps up, McGregors days in the limelight are over. He'll become Bisping.

[@MrOasis316]

+Arrow lol you no nothing about MMA.

[@SanHHwang-ul1ym]

+Arrow So what does that make Chad? Your denial amazes me

[@venheartzeil3070]

He reminds me of Ragnar Lothbrok.

[@raymundoacevedojr7488]

I thought the same thing, lol!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

+Eira Heartzeil The only thing that was missing was Conor cutting of Jose's head and throwing it in to the audience and then pissing on his corpse.

[@dubbud74]

+AndyFromBeaverton lmbo nice

[@elizabethmoore9018]

+Raymundo Acevedo Jr me too!

[@c24c24c24]

+Eira Heartzeil i thought of that since i first heard him speak too

[@draknininaj]

I told you all...And you laughed.

[@ThegodisAbraxas]

+Conor McGoat i wonder what the excuse will be now

[@draknininaj]

***** nothing against that

[@Mark_106]

+okezumi stuff that's cool, I'm still a fan of Aldo and respect his rise to the top as P4P etc no doubt he will do alot of soul searching and be back, whether he goes up a weight or goes to reclaim his Title, I think Aldo vs Holloway on the same card as Mcgregor vs Edgar would be fitting, well just have to wait an see!!

[@arrow6366]

+Conor McGoat Still laughing. It's a joke, and a very bad one. Let's find McGregor some guy who doesn't believe the hype, like HH or Gus or Sonnen, and then let's see what he's actually made of. The emperor has no clothes (and isn't an emperor) - some people are just too afraid to point that out.

[@corylepire342]

You feel special that the most talented fighter in today's world won a fight like he said he would? He will come and in a few years there will be another GOAT. You're just a fan boy passing through

[@james1327]

Oh haters what say you!

[@vlcince]

+james D They just killed themselves.

[@archetypeparadigms]

+james D Well Aldo was never that good anyway right?

[@Patryk....]

+james D Frankie is next. I spoke about it for the last year and half and I badly want this fight.

[@arrow6366]

+james D Not a hater, but one who recognises that the most gifted part of Conor's anatomy is his mouth. He was able to convince you and Aldo as well that he isn't just a backwater loser from Ireland, but that he's something more than. His training and abilities are inexistent - all that he's good for is standing there like a rock-em-sock-em robot. If you put a guy who isn't afraid of him in there, he'll get KO'd very, very quickly.

[@Bahador.B]

+james D I say that it seems like the drunk no respect having uncivilized fans who represent Ireland will not stop being drunk and obnoxious after the only achievement their country has ever made except having drunk fans in middle of the day in front of holly holm.

[@rustyshackleford4743]

Everybody who kept saying Aldo would win: I told you! I kept saying that Aldo had no way to finish Conor. That gives Conor 5 rounds to land a big left. It only took 13 seconds bitches.

[@chuckbarrientos6848]

then ill give u the fortune teller award

[@MrCheesyBaconBits]

+Rusty Shackleford You do realize that if Aldo got a lucky 13 second KO there would be people saying I TOLD YOU!... there are always people who pick sides, you chose your favorite fighter and supported him didn't you? so many people turn into experts when they pick one right outcome. How stupid was everyone to support Aldo when the almighty truth sayer Rusty Shackleford told us otherwise! I bow to you mighty truth sayer, how blessed are we to walk in the same time period as the great foreseer!

[@michaelanese]

there is no such thing as i told you so when it was just a 13 sec fight if it went to the 2/3 round and beat the crap out of aldo easily then you can say it connor deserves to be champ but aldo is still a dangerous opponent and can KO/sub anyone 'IF" he could catch him

[@johnndamascene]

True champion. Felt like I watched history last night

[@RickyJSports]

The last time I screamed like that was back in 1987 when I opened up my Christmas gift and realized I got a Nintendo Entertainment System lol What a win for MMA fans!!

[@user-eg8lh8pl6l]

The greatest who ever lived.

[@TheSignOfJonah]

*Arieol speaks:* "Connor in February of 2013 we spoke for the first time, you didn't have a car, you didn't have a pot to piss in, all you had were blueberry's.Now here you are with the undisputed gold, enjoy it my friend. You deserve it you called it." *Connor speaks:* "Yeah from nothing, to something, to everything." 3:26

[@escoboss3006]

Damn this the calmest I've ever seen my boy . Humble Pie. My favorite Fighter /Assassin . Get them belts my boy this is your division. Hold it down my boy

[@Ash_Hudson]

These two are good friends now. That's awesome to see this particular friendship develop after so long

[@sdbo7102]

has the UFC ever considered a 10 count? 60bucks for 13 seconds is crazy! ...still a lot better than 12 boring rounds from floyd tho

[@ChristianVidauri]

Once the punch connected, Jose was knocked out. In boxing I believe McGreggor would have just waited for him to get up possibly. But in UFC, McGreggor punched and once Jose fell, he started punching to his hearts content.

[@AmisTheos]

+good afternoon that gets in the way of the original flavour and point of the UFC, it is a simulation where finishes mean that one man either gets actually physically broken by grappling or choked to death, or they get beaten to death, there aren't any ten counts in real life lol.

[@darkestification]

There was a fun grappler battle and there was a number 1 contender fight for the middleweight championship and there was the middleweight title fight that turned out to be fun it was for sure worth the money

[@rustyshackleford4743]

+good afternoon Dude you got to see all those other amazing fights moron.

[@sdbo7102]

Rusty Shackleford i did see the other fights you doofus but my brother's best friend payed to see a good main event. my 5 dollar contribution was worth the 13 seconds tho

[@AJDEFIXION]

I just hope Edgar gets what he deserves. Cmon Conor, give him that shot before you move up.

[@stebostock20]

+AJDEFIXION It sounds like it, he said he was impressed with Frankie and Aldo will be re-grouping for a while for sure!

[@TheFutboller10]

Fuck no edgar is lame and boring, cowboy is next

[@dpeace99]

+EL TIGERE Edgar is boring? Guy is a beast. He never stops moving. And I hate to disappoint you but Cowboy will most likely lose next week.

[@TheFutboller10]

+dpeace99 edgar is goin to fight aldo next, then will see

[@demianhaki7598]

+AJDEFIXION I think that would be great, especially since Frankie may be the first guy who won't try to outplay Conor in the trash talk game.

[@pward17]

He's played his hand brilliantly, hype machine, intimadator and when it's all said and done a class act. Well played sir.

[@jason300c1]

they both were very polite, the interviewer was very professional and polite and Mccgregors respons was very polite as well. awesome guys

[@CarlCallmer]

This man has impressed me so god damn much, and this interview is so cool, to see him calm and himslef. Such a cool guy!

[@bryanpedro4192]

Wow. I didn't expect this professionalism by him. Your humbleness has earned you fan.

[@mbisetakobana]

"From nothing to something,to everything!thats where i am at right now"-King Conor

[@JA-rs3os]

mystic mac looks the most happy ive ever seen him he's just smileing ear to ear

[@curbotron13]

Very humble and respectful from Conor, when all is said and done, the talking is just good marketing and good business. Showed himself to be a true champion and class act here Imo.

[@arkiajahani3560]

[@tomolowe8654]

[@labigashi8327]

" from nothing to something to everything ! " 👊

[@FromPoetryToRap]

I just feel like giving him a good hug and congratulating him on changing his life the way he did

[@Murphyslaw3345]

He's very well spoken. Much respect to him. Great fighter.

[@_--INFiNiTE_C0NSCi0US--_]

I'm definitely a McGregor fan, but i do feel really bad for Aldo.. Although, i don't think there should be a rematch, to be honest. I want to see McGregor move on to the Lightweight division next.

[@mrroon11]

Since the win over Aldo, Conor has been very kind and pleasant. He really seems to be happy and fulfilled. Congrats to him - nobody can say that he didn't earn it. He was gutsy enough to call his shots and he delivered. He has my full respect, especially when he acts like this.

[@mosshark]

You come through every single time, Ariel. You do a fine fine job. Congratulations.

[@xavier6037]

How could you not love this guy

[@antjmi]

Much much much respect to Conor. I was a doubter at first I am sure like many others but the man has not only accomplished a miracle he has changed the UFC. People who have never seen MMA have now heard of Conor he deserves his big money contract for sure!

[@craigreilly9529]

Good interview, asked the questions we wanted to be answered

[@danglesnipecelly13]

I swear I could listen to Conor talk for dayssssss. What an amazing story he was entering the UFC. It's like a movie! He predicted dese tings!!!

[@Davidcollecting]

from nothing to something to everything this is what conor is all about . gave me chills

[@lennard7185]

Great interview. Helwani never ceases to not disappoint me. And McGregor is such an inspiration.

[@Deondre_Clark]

He's a really deep thinker. Not a typical fighter at all.

[@SirJamestheIII]

conor's mental game is rock solid. He doesn't fantasize about being great, he outlines his path in great detail and manifests it. I've had it with fighters saying they want to be GOAT and then never tell you how. Conor Mcgregor is practically living a book he's writing.

[@MrMIDWEST323213]

So calm in this interview

[@martinharvey3990]

This is a good interview. Seems like a very satisfied & proud young man... And so he should be - he's beaten some unbelievibly tough men olong the way. Interestingly though, once vacating belts are mentioned that look comes back! This kid isn't going to dodge or vacant anyone or anything! Nice to see a Champion having some time to reflect on his achievements - unlike Fury who has been hung/drawn/quartered by the Murdoch owned press.

[@theminaya42]

Been known this guy was special from the start of his ufc career. Beautiful fight . Did exactly wat he saidz deserves his respect

[@sinlokemp]

I like this interviewer, The way he interviews makes the interviewee feel at ease :)

[@dusty616l]

KING CONOR!

[@selveneleven]

Man it's always good seeing fighters who didn't have nothing and now have something

[@TheN1H1LL]

He's a poet as well as a fighter.

[@TheHooliganification]

This is truly amazing. Beautiful stuff in a life so dark and tough these days with scumbags and whores just the lowest forms of humans making huge amounts of money and living life to the fullest in the most spoiled, selfish and ignorant ways, it warms my heart that a human like Conor has made it and continues to be so true to himself shows huge amount of core values, belief and character. That's a role model for the greater good people, so smarten the fuck up already, he is nothing special, he is a human being a god damn good human

[@whatthehell1338]

I don't watch alot of ufc but. This guy is a real class act.

[@ShaunWhite4444]

There is something about him that draws me in, something about him makes me want to keep watching anything with him in it

[@sofiaruiz863]

Ariel you lucky dog. Ariel and Conor Mcgregor have good chemistry. You can tell Ariel is a huge fan and looks up to Conor alot. And Conor likes Ariel because he asks real questions and he admires Ariel too.

[@Truncatedicosidodecahedron]

wow he seemed really nice here :) i liked both fighters and im glad conor got his win, and im also a bit sad to see aldo leave his throne, but these things happen. aldo had a good run, and conor will surely bring a lot of entertainment at the top of the division !

[@wrx77]

"McGregor got lucky, Chad was out of shape, if Aldo's ribs were fully healed McGregor would have been the one KO'ed!" They said! lol

[@joselinema]

They were both in good shape, so no excuses.

[@wrx77]

Vinh Tran lol, No, that's what Aldo fans were saying before last night's fight, hence the quotation marks.

[@JoseSLC]

+LYNN LOVE aldo was out for 4 months on rib injury he broke 4 ribs thsts why the fight was posponed on averge a figher might take half a year or full. you cant really train proply if your ribs are broken. but honestly conor im not here to say that jose aldo should of won thing happen in a fight so even if he didnt break his ribs last summer he could of lost ether way. same you cant really prodict a fight im mma, widmen lost and he was one of the best he beat anderson silva who was indefeated for 6 years

[@AlexAlex]

good interview!

[@Losiboi]

Mystic Mac deserves a 10 figure contract !

[@tomSeliX]

Great video. Respect.

[@IVIusicFiend]

Look at the cut on his eye, that's one punch from a padded glove. The fights outcome would've been a lot more interesting if the punch he landed was aimed a little lower. A double knockout would've been talked about for a while the way the hype of this fight was going. I really think this fight demands a rematch, it's only necessary. I want to see what Conor can do to him in a full round and seeing that punch Aldo landed I wanna see what he can do against Conor in a full round. Aldo faded his right and left himself open, I've never seen him do that, Conor took advantage and got the left hook in perfectly. All in all, can't wait to hear the news about they're next fight.

[@jamo2006]

Very nice to see a humble, gracious Conor. Sometimes the theater of trash talking shines a negative light on him. This is great to see. Good fight, great champ.

[@Helfthane]

[@matteoeljamei1266]

i don't know if they on the same weight class but sage northcut is an interesting fighter

[@thehumungus9950]

i like it. Conor seems more relaxed now he has less to prove. i actually think he is a very loyal sweet, humble person who loves his family. you hear about him reaching out to people during times of hardship. that to me is a sign of a classy person. i think we are getting to see more of the "real" Conor now. and i like what i see.

[@miguelparagas6609]

"From nothing to something to everything" A very positive mindset. EIRE 🇨🇮

[@ohgeez4354]

chad and aldo have excellent ground game ...they even occasionally take naps.

[@Mrdannyboy1462]

To everyone saying it's fixed, that's too risky for the UFC to do so, and they will eventually be exposed if they were fixing fights. Dana knows it's too risky and so does Lorenzo. The word would have eventually got around . Dumb excuse to all the doubters. Other than that, WELCOME TO THE MCGREGOR ERA!!!!!

[@REVOFEV792]

Looking forward to this moment again after Saturday.

[@N3LU]

man it makes things interesting with his next move, lets say he moves up face off for 155 title wins, joe duffy (last man to beat conor also in the division) win his next 2 or so gets a title shot opens up a money fight in a stadium in Ireland, or he moves up loses the title fight in 145 aldo vs frankie for the vacant/ interim title lets say aldo wins the rematch will be a money fight also

"From nothing, to something, to everything." -- Connor McGregor, 12/12/2015

[@chrisvbnm6765]

got to be RDA or cowboy for early next year depending who wins.. then with his 2 belts it is essential a fight at his home at croke park in the summer, deffo would be getting myself a ticket for that

[@verne27]

not taking anything away from Conor he fought the perfect fight but if BJ Penn, Frankie Edgar, Anderson Silva, and Ronda Rousey all deserved rematches then so does Aldo... Especially considering he was inactive for over a year who knows how much that could have effected him. Look at how he walked to the Octagon, he wasnt singing or dancing around like he usually does, the nerves were real.

[@ramondimas1252]

Gotta love Conor. He has a great mind and has no problem expressing himself. I noticed that the interviews he gives to other countries are just like this one, he is humble and reserved. When he does the hype videos or interviews on mainstream he tends to be more of an ass, just like Chef Gordon. His British shows he was super nice and then the American shows he was a total jerk. it is weird what sells here in U.S.

[@HaasSolo]

Ya know, I wasn't a fan of the smack talk from the mcgregor but I like how he composed himself after the fight and didn't continue to talk smack
