He predicted it word for fucking WORD

[@gen_0348]

It’s creepy how spot on conor was with this

[@joseph4500]

So weird watching this. He's so different now

[@bowenlennon178]

I know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!

[@dennisjohnny9981]

@Bowen Lennon instablaster ;)

[@bowenlennon178]

@Dennis Johnny i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@bowenlennon178]

@Dennis Johnny It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@DividedWeAllFall]

This will forever be the most legendary interview and prediction in fight history. Words can't explain how incredible it is that he was able to describe the outcome so precisely and correctly.

[@Copemaxx]

Absolutely insane, he forecasted what Jose would do

[@joondagoon6774]

He is so zen bc he manipulated Jose into believing he was weak and old. Jose unfortunately believed it, fell into the trap and just one shot ended it

[@sexyalboballa23]

if he lets that right hand go, i will not be there.... haha this guy is a legend

[@dabmedi]

Cristiano Sterrelo I miss this conor

[@JaSe-qq9wk]

@@dabmedi oh man I do too, I hope that he is like this in his comeback, calm collectef and smart

[@JaSe-qq9wk]

@Young Offenders Yess hes back, im glad. I cant waittt

[@johnnyblaze6409]

@Young Offenders Looks like the sun set for Conor RIP

[@kyleistheguru]

the way he stares off when he says it lmfao

[@JDblEtv]

I could easily watch a 30 min. interview with these two

[@Lildrummerboy714]

+JDblEtv try an hour , I'd listen to a full blown podcast interview with these 2 MMA savants all day

[@mantisxxx3656]

These two should be in the broadcast booth.

[@PureMetalBanzai]

great questions Robin. Awesome interview

[@xwhite2020]

+Ryoji Kitomi Always. He understands how intelligent C McG is and put the questions in the correct form.

[@Lildrummerboy714]

+xwhite2020 Seriously, Robin's knowledge for the game surpasses EVERYONE else in MMA media. I love listening to his insights. This was a beautiful but short interview. Would love to see Robin and Conor have a long sit-down and just pick each others brain.

[@lyonstea8352]

"The right hand was twitching for me" Holy shit Conor is mystic mac. He predicts These Things!!

[@scullychrist823]

Robin looking out for Conor, tell him to watch that right hand. Ma man

[@andyhartwatp]

single most coldest reply about the right hand ever

[@Daffmeister187]

Awesome interview Robin! You could see Conor's mind was working as he was answering instead of being on auto-pilot giving standard answers to standard questions.

[@sparkyanddaisy]

Robin should be at all ufc events.

[@conordavies3839]

McGregors mindset is a PED.

[@RobinBlackMMA]

+Conor Davies Awesome!!!!! I'm going to use this if that's ok?

[@conordavies3839]

+Robin Black Cheers Robin, please do!

[@DamaniJones]

PED?

[@DamaniJones]

rofl oh, I love it.

[@NC-ck5oj]

An amazing interview to look back on in retrospect

[@moronesaxatilis]

Finally someone who can ask real questions , Dan hardy is another one, both of you are doing great work

[@stronggjk8492]

This is a legendary interview that will go do in the annals of UFC history. Truly amazing responses to great questioning.

[@MMAprospect]

Other journalists should take a look and see an example how true insight interviews are done. Great job!

[@perrrry]

Love to see the interviewer get the recognition he deserves. I've backed up Robin Black before and I'll gladly do it again. In a time where journalism is at a all time low, I see Robin is a breath of fresh air - Confident, intelligent questions and showing passion for his work towards the reader/viewer and the person he is working with.

[@michieldijksterhuis794]

call me a fanboy that is one of the greatest pre fight statements ever. conor, especially during his come up almost had a poetic touch to his words

[@tmill1811]

Agree! He was a real martial artist in a game full of athletes. Sadly I feel like that part has gone and he’s now a businessman imo.

[@IRISHBULLYBOY]

Nice n flowy Robin .........Beeeeeautiful

[@rambololal]

+Maximus Decimus Meridius Attaboy!

[@jhremodeling103]

Robin finally got to interview Conor..Nice!

[@cpinto23]

absolutely amazing questions...Robin brings a completely different viewpoint than the others... always about specific technical and mental elements....awesome work!

[@ij7778]

watching is after the fight is crazy

[@69birdboy]

Conor can talk so charismatically,

[@TheYoungSuccess]

scarily accurate

[@thatt-shirtguy9669]

"ATTA BOY Robin, Nice n Flowy Out Dere!"

[@UniversalisLogica]

"Be foost, Robin! Be foost!"

[@thatt-shirtguy9669]

"Jab to de body, jab to de body"

[@ruefullysage]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laugh every time.

[@Cabsmell]

How awesome is Robin black with the questions, dudes done his homework

[@Lildrummerboy714]

The GOAT interviewing the GOAT, goosebumps...

[@CallMehXiLe]

Watching this interview and seeing how Conor said he will make him think he is safe and then watching the Monday morning analyst. Truly shows how much of a powerful genius this man is, something special

[@fazorator]

He reminded of a wounded lion in that Mendes fight, you could tell from the entrance he was different . The way he planted himself and became uncharacteristic in his movement showed me a grit. He knew if he moved in his unorthodox way he could have triggered the acl damage and become even less mobile. Like when Mendes was taking him down he sort of went with it instead of trying to plant his feet and negate the take down attempt thus taking pressure of the Injury, which in my opinion was a lot worse than he was letting on.

[@AAPowerdog]

His answers were perfect, and he had no issue translating them into the ring for his win.

[@5burned5]

HE PREDICTS THESE TINGS.

[@jacobpearlman9266]

Undefeated 10 years kod in 13 seconds. Perfect example of the power of self belief and manifestation. This conor will always be the greatest athlete ever. No one can or will be able to replicate the spot on predictions, mixed with his immense ability and trash talk

[@victorblaer]

Finally an interview that is insightful and spot on. Great questions Mr. Black!

[@simplelife88393]

Possibly my favourite interview so far in fight week. Awesome stuff.

[@JAYDUBYAH29]

The only thing missing here would ld be Ido portal to make it the 3 most interesting minds in the physical mastery game...

[@lennoxforeman601]

"If you feel it and have the courage to speak it, it will happen. Some ppl think this stuff but shy away from" words from the legend after the fight miss him loads but not as much as the organisation misses the revenue he used to creates for them ✌

[@shecravesit7072]

Its so crazy that when this was uploaded I still couldn't legally drive (march 2016)! Wish I watched it as it happened!

[@LossesCostUs]

Aldo is a fantastic champion but I think McGregor has the factors necessary to beat him.

[@dabmedi]

Ferguson-AGR he read him like a book.

[@steviedj6730]

Robin gives amazing insight and is also a ground breaker in the game of mixed martial arts. conor is innovating and very few understand this and so demonise him. Robin understands the innovation and gives fantastic analysis. we just saw the two best at their respective professions

[@represent93]

Fantastic interview, not like the regular boring stuff people typically ask!! Well done Robin.

[@Charlielindsey]

This version of Connor was truly something else it’s beautiful to watch

[@JamesDel]

Great interview! Right to the point, No BS questions. Respect!

[@brandonbrown1284]

he seems so oddly calm, even for himself. this old conor would murder the current but maybe he will turn it around vs cowboy?? i worry the money ruined the fighter

[@iGwlbirdy]

Great interview Robin! Keep 'em coming!

[@Bloodwolf1]

Haha Robin made him have to really think on that one. Nice job

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

Is Robin talking about a new breakdown he did on Conor? and where do I find it? Can't see it on this channel

[@Magani79]

+MrGenedancingmachine i think its on the UFC channel

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

Magani79 Thanks!

[@AtownGoods]

Ya great questions Robin as always

[@dtbristol]

Robin is on another level. If MMA interviewers have a GOAT it is Robin Black!

[@clivehollo7972]

Great questions as always but why is noone mentioning the feint /scramble and full knee that Jose has been secretly training ?

[@sgthomer1]

Breath of fresh air Robin...Great interview!

[@scuffz100]

PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF ROBIN BLACK DUDE IS A GREAT GUY

[@brian_mcevoy_]

Finally! Some fresh questions that provoked FRESH responses. MMA journalists take note, it's not about your fucking p4p list, or trying to make a point to prove your intelligence ("Conor, did you hear bla bla bla"). Do your fucking job correctly and stop soothing your ego with nonsense, we don't care about YOUR opinion, we care about the fighter's. Great job, Robin!

[@dibankarsaha101]

2:00 ( for editors )

[@dom123456able]

Amazing interview

[@briandennehy6380]

Robin and Conor need to sit down for an hour long interview. Please make it happen!

[@iRRichiee]

Black & Helwani...the 2 best in their area. Keep it up

[@adammaples4684]

Conor at his best .. mind and body both sharp as a samurai unfortunately don’t see this side of him anymore ☹️🇮🇪💪🏽

[@drb2944]

That's the best MMA interview i've seen.

[@oluwakamau]

insightful q's %Robin!

[@moronesaxatilis]

Great questions

[@michaelmuckley2731]

robin black has gotta be the best interviewer in the game aspiring mma journalists could learn a lot from this man

[@scribble36]

Robin is a great interviewer and analyst,Maybe the best at his game just like the Notorious!!

[@ManiacMageetheG]

You're the man, Robin.

[@herzwatithink9289]

You heard it here first :) Great job gentlemen, this was intense!

[@vitoat123]

yeah good vibe w/conor and interviewer. good shit

[@sensationaldenny]

Conor does look healthier and more well groomed than UFC 189...he looked like shit, injury, tough weight cut, too much media and distractions and he didn't even cut his hair, he had to keep brushing it back in the Mendes fight

[@Alchemistic88]

+Denny Sensation I agree. Mentally you can see was drained at UFC 189, he came into the fight with Chad and threw and spinning back kick and a flying knee... That's not the calmest approach, reminded me of Nick Diaz vs Anderson Silva. He was stressed out. This time he came in so damn relaxed it's amazing. When he was walking through the tunnel and he gave that smile to the camera, and the 20 seconds before the fight started when they do the staredown and go back to their corners to start, I thought "Fuck this guy is dialled in", he looked loose, focussed and sharp. It's really inspiring to be honest.

[@fazorator]

+Denny Sensation He reminded of a wounded lion in that Mendes fight, you could tell from the entrance he was different . The way he planted himself and became uncharacteristic in his movement showed me a grit. He knew if he moved in his unorthodox way he could have triggered the acl damage and become even less mobile. Like when Mendes was taking him down he sort of went with it instead of trying to plant his feet and negate the take down attempt thus taking pressure of the Injury, which in my opinion was a lot worse than he was letting on.

[@forprogressiveminds]

So true, a lot of these new fighters coming up are trying to be like Conor. And some older ones are changing their style but you can see through it. Conor is the one true God.

[@seany32]

robin is brilliant

[@purefigha101]

KEEP IT NICE AND FLOWEYYYYY ROBIN

[@yrath5034]

Robin is the bollocks. Best in the business. I could watch him interview all day.

[@Zamalshkay]

like im watching all his shti back and im fucking impressed of how fuckign accurately he predicted certain things!

[@awareness-mb5do]

robin interview is just deeep. love it !

[@smokeweedevryday88]

Peak and hungry mcgregor😳😳he was a different animal back then,still changed the game of MMA despite his flaws now

[@DenissBikbulatovs]

so true, jose was trapped and praying before the fight! Conor was nice and confident. Good Bye Jose and thanks for your last 10 years.!

[@flygonna3259]

I like this version of Conor

[@GeneralSmartass2]

What is the Intro music? Sounds like Chimaira to me

[@Beastzz77]

I believed and for certain this Conor was making his way to be the GOAT the present Conor am not so sure doesn't seem as focused as before

[@bojan_milic35]

i like aldo, but i loooove conor. and kinda hate the fact someone is going to lose.

[@UnlimitedRange]

He certainly predicted that right hand strike!

[@ImDrizzt]

Conor's looking really attractive in this clip, cleanly groomed, i like this look

[@anything704]

jesus thats exactly what He did. holy shit

[@ImDrizzt]

Props for asking good questions, 95% of the time it's that same old verbal diahrrea bullshit they think they mainstream wants to hear. Keep it up

[@primitiv252bulo2]

I miss this Conor

[@mickeydonavan1082]

Mutual respect. Love that

[@mr.green.thumbnailclipper98]

You can say what you want about Conor but he called this fight against the best p4p fighter at that time

[@TheExgymnast]

"I feel....I feel....I feel pain from Aldo's leg kicks"

[@zdsrtgnzetmyet]

beautiful

[@jadenhaly9793]

1:18 he literally predicted

[@williamchandler236]

Robin Black is GREAT!

[@barrygreene007]

how the fuck did mcgregor predict it so well.

[@MrAdal206]

If Connor beats Aldo I'll have huge respect for him! Aldo isn't going to lose quietly and Connor will definitely earn his win! This is going to be a battle for the ages!

[@Nautilus1972]

Just a few hours now. Aldo gets the Flim-Flam. McGregor by TKO round 1 ... maybe 2. Aldo steps in for the leg kick and then gets a straight left in the mug. Fight over. Payment.

[@DamaniJones]

He got the FLIM-FLAM

[@kaleemahmadkhan5764]

Savage

[@jimhawking1193]

Loool robbin and his head nods, even wen they do a close up of conor u can see his hair nodding xD

[@flyersluver4eva]

He feels

[@francodepp8527]

Robin black could not handle the excitement and had to end the interview at 3 mins 2 seconds of the very first round.

[@DamaniJones]

Mad respect for Conor.

[@RudeBoi2971]

It will be a specticle

[@meanmrmustard007]

great fucking interview
