[@sergiolo569]

he hit em with the el chapo handshake pose, lmao hahaha

[@ugugublu2951]

+Sergio „2 LOUD“ Lopez Can you elaborate on that?

[@HardTruthsReviews]

Hahahahhahahaaahahhaa!! That was great/.

[@fruitypicks4167]

+Ugugublu www.record.com.mx/sites/default/files/articulos/2016/01/20/mcgregorelchapo20012016.jpg

[@ugugublu2951]

fruity picks Haha, alright. Thanks! Great nick and pic btw.

[@user-ey4rn1zf2w]

+fruity picks why is Sean Penn shaking his hand?!

[@stormyj14]

not a big fan of Connor but that shirt is amazing

[@killazz13]

+Jamal Nuh el chapo wana be

[@tommyvercetti6176]

reminds me of something Pac would've worn, Versace I think

[@stormyj14]

+Tommy Vercetti I can see that!

[@HeartFilledHatred]

+New Era 59fifty Conor McNugget!

[@bodybalancer]

😂

[@1of1ok18]

It’s crazy nobody got the El Chapo reference 😂

[@brent2105]

RDA was ice cold, conor tried to make him flinch twice

[@user-ni1pd8hs1z]

he wasn't ice cold. he was simply stuck in the mud

[@jonathanroche732]

+895 2341 you're gay

[@tykill]

+895 2341 AAYYY LMAO

[@Valliant2007]

+Lildrummerboy714 And that means what exactly?? You sound like the fat kid at school!!

[@brent2105]

+Lildrummerboy714 he didn't move an inch

[@rigzin5418]

Here after JRE just to see that el chapo handshake pose lmao

[@team3gaming749]

Rigzin Thakur Lmao I just remembered that. He’s right about nobody caught onto that 😂

[@criticalbill2090]

I like Conor`s shirt, it reminds me of the ones The Rock used to wear in WWE 1998/99. If you smell what Conor Mcgregor is cooking!

[@Phantom77083]

+Bill Proud NO, no....

[@criticalbill2090]

Phantom77083 YES....um, yes?

[@yahoo1o1]

+Bill Proud it was WWF back then.

[@allstarbleeder]

Its versace.

[@robotnumber33]

+Bill Proud what do the tight white pants and no socks with dress shoes remind you of?...a woman

[@last9emperor]

it looks as if RDA has learn to not get emotionally invested in these press conferences. that's where Jose went wrong, he let Conor's antics get to him.

[@ohgeez4354]

I mean like the part where he said instead of beating him in round one he was going to make it last 4 rounds of tortue lmao that's called conor getting to him ...

[@ohgeez4354]

+lester p. you* torture*

[@maltatravel]

+last9emperor yea he knows what's good for him... better be quite lol... He looks tense as fuck he's already feeling that pressure.

[@fergusjenkins9785]

+last9emperor He should start interrupting Mcgregor and yelling at him, it would be interesting to see if the mind games could work in reverse.

[@mandroid3219]

+last9emperor That's not it honestly. I think if your going to take offense, escalate the situation. If your going to play it cool do so. No in between, no hesitation. In the stare down when he got to close like that if I was RDA I would have slapped him for sure, through it down catch him with a punch. He wont do it again after that.

[@Brian-kr7bw]

i wish this fight happened

[@kainodinson8404]

Oh wow, Dos Anjos actually flinched

[@kainodinson8404]

+joecugo you blind?

[@sergiolo569]

he did close his eyes a lil bit, huh?? lol

[@lightbearer7508]

Troll. McGregor got left hanging hahaha. He's a fool. Dumb Irish chav.

[@2kzoltan]

Thats called reflex.

[@2kzoltan]

Thats called reflex.

[@barryreilly3578]

Best stare down I've seen yet .

[@killerkdawg88]

Rafael didn't even flinch. Gonna be a great fight!

[@respect2864]

+Kyle Hughley neither did aldo.

[@69birdboy]

he did fling ..check his eye when connor makes the move

[@respect2864]

69birdboy I saw that as well. I just don't think it matters that much.

[@bodybalancer]

Yup. He ain't scurred a Conor

[@antreas1654]

It's just the beginning

[@declanmcdonnell6965]

I'm an Irish McGregor fan but think he took it too far when he brought Dos Anjos' kids into it, mocking their names. I felt bad for Dos Anjos. He seems like a nice bloke out of the octagon. I'm aware it's only mental warfare to get an edge over the opponent but you shouldn't be bringing a guy's kids into anything publically.

[@johnmoran5627]

+Declan McDonnell christ its the fight game!!!

[@TheOsamaBinLiner]

you idiot stop whining, RDA's kids arent even called Bob and Donald, its Gustavo and Rafael jr, that was the joke

[@declanmcdonnell6965]

No need for idiot calling. I didn't know that, I took him at his word. Wasn't privy to Rafael's kid's names.

[@JohnnytNatural]

+Declan McDonnell Bob and Donald, lol. I was wondering that's like the two whitest name for a Brazilian

[@johnoswaldpalines]

Its just mind games. Rda never have kids with the name of donald and bob hahahaha

[@stevegutierrez8679]

that's cool that robin black let conor borrow his shirt.

[@AxisKisu]

I was thinking the same thing haha

[@AxisKisu]

I was thinking the same thing haha

[@BillBui_]

Thumbs up for the shout out to Robin Black though!

[@AK-salvador]

_goosebumps_

[@I-P-777]

+The Self-Made media getting to u. like all the other brainwashed media puppet fans. u people are soo simple nowadays. The fact is conor would be Nothing if the ufc/media didn't build him up like that. like it or not u guys are media puppets .

[@AK-salvador]

Loveoldies7 Conor would be nothing??? He beat the champ fair and square. Even still, i got Dos Anjos to win this fight.... but then again, i picked Aldo to win it last time too.

[@bulllea]

+Loveoldies7 lol . you are dead wrong , man . conor build it himself .

[@GhastlyCretin]

Dos Anjos is a beast but McGregor's gonna be way more dangerous with an extra 10 pounds of muscle. Can't wait for this fight.

[@badgersbollocks1119]

+GhastlyCretin85 And slower

[@MrOasis316]

+badgers bollocks Thats not how it works he will still be quicker quicker than dos Anjos

[@GhastlyCretin]

He might even be faster and sharper not having to dehydrate himself to near death now that he's fighting at 155!

[@MrFirerod1]

+GhastlyCretin85 its been proven that the more weight a fighter cuts, his physical performance is poorer than before the cut. so having to cut 10 less lbs will benefit him

[@snakeplay]

+GhastlyCretin85 lol unless he is on heavy steroids he won't gain 10 pounds of muscle in a couple of months mabye 2 pounds of muscle with some fat, you really only gain 10-15 pounds of muscle a year if your Conor's size

[@rossboss5072]

I was hoping Conor would snatch his belt,lol

[@TheoWalcott-sm7zg]

+Ross Boss ahaha

[@deeseach]

+Ross Boss he could have. then RDA would have snatched Conor's wig.

[@deeseach]

+Ross Boss he could have. then RDA would have snatched Conor's wig.

[@rossboss5072]

Secret Agent but if Conor can keep this fight standing up,I don't think RDA stand a chance

[@lbpltd34]

+Ross Boss i was hoping rda would smash him with it, pro wrestling style, but rda is too cool and mcg too stupid to pull it off.

[@profileN7]

damn... this fight is even more exciting than Aldo vs. Mcgregor. I remember I was so hyped up about UFC 194, the night before the event I literally couldn't sleep.

[@Ma1q444]

Damn

[@AndreasMarcos]

We're still waiting for the fight mate! 😂

[@SirCouchus]

Dos Anjos didn't flinch:OOO I predict this being McGregor's toughest opponent next to Mendes.

[@ohgeez4354]

which opponent has flinched ?

[@Str8Pimpin1994]

actually he did flinch very slightly

[@celticjordan1]

+SirCouchus only reason Mendes did what he did was because Connor was wayyyy to cocky, hands down and square footed walking into Mendes for a takedown... focused Connor like we saw in the aldo fight would be different story...

[@maltatravel]

+SirCouchus - He blinked man... lol

+Ali bomaye Well, he did, but it was more of a product of reflex. I don't think he was scared.

[@James-wk5mj]

Man do I miss these days good old days of 2016 when life was.....simple😌

[@centoanni5869]

The first person to break Conor McGregor beats Conor McGregor provided that they carry the necessary tools but nobody right now shares the same hunger this kid has

[@joeywitt7129]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAV CLIPS I F NG LAUGH SO HARD WHEN RDA LOOKS AT CONOR HAND PRICELESS!!!

[@MZONE3D]

Conor is finally in his proper weight class. can't wait for this one.

[@theotherhalfoftheang]

"the worst thing a fighter can do is to show his confortable self to his enemy... quietness show you nothing.. it instead makes you wonder. you never know what a quiet one is gonna do. you can just think and wonder".

[@jonathanf3604]

I like how RDA had the belt but the camera still follows Conor off stage. He's really the main event any time he's in the room.

[@Lildrummerboy714]

" I'm like El Chapo in his prime !" - King Conor

[@tor3699]

Let the mind games begin!

[@MoIotov]

him keeping his hand out with the sunglasses on is so cold

[@weirdo-gj5xz]

i can't imagine anything else but conor unlocking his full potential at 155. the man is fighting at his OPTIMAL weight. 145 he was drained and killing it, imagine him at 155. MORE power and MORE cardio. everyone at 155 SHOULD be nervous af.

[@ridinhi530]

Don't be scared homie

[@Truegenius23]

+NEXT LEVEL Why would they be scared? Almost everyone in that division will have a size advantage over that dude. It's up to them to use it and not get flustered by his non-stop trash talk.

[@jayonefive234]

0 takedown defense

[@jcold9147]

+Truegenius23 Exactly....it will all be over March 5th! RDA will take it away!

[@J_Schecter]

+Jimmy Jay last time someone who was good with takedowns took on a striker, they got humiliated ....cough RONDA

[@sandeepgrg220]

Khabib predicts Conor will KO Dos Anjos early in 2 rounds. #AreialHelwaniShow

[@theedgeofglory6529]

+saf dyp He also said that Conor will kill Aldo

[@raww999]

+saf dyp did khabib fight dos anjos?

[@travelwithvist]

+John Doe yup, he butchered him

[@sdaftermath123]

+saf dyp khabib's predictions are usually better then conors..

[@sdaftermath123]

+saf dyp khabib's predictions are usually better then conors..

[@Fullblown671]

0:15 "Look at those pantalones!" 👖

[@b0zay]

this is my favourite stare down

[@JJUNG964]

Get this underway now. It's about TIME.

[@bakinbarrelroll7896]

"give him his belt" *Conor patiently waiting* conor is a character , i love it haha

[@Wavywizard678]

Precision beats power and timing beats speed 💪💪💪

[@conor7179]

What a marketing genius. he knows by doing that el chapo handshake pose he is going to be meme'd all over the internet

[@devinbird2571]

big Connor fan. I'm Irish and proud but I also really like Dos Anjos he's a good man and hits like a truck lol

[@-Macx]

I see a Dos Anjos vs Pettis remake with McGregor but worse because unlike Conor at least Pettis has a Ground game.

[@kberlin85]

+Conan O'Brien conor has a ground game and he is the best striker in the game pettis can only use his kicks properly

[@-Macx]

+kberlin85 Conor will yield to Dos Anjos!

[@lightbearer7508]

+kberlin85 hahaha you're clueless

[@maltatravel]

Dos Nachos looks scared... TBH

[@maltatravel]

Lopata991 HAHA

[@salt580]

+maltatravel im connor´s fan but connor looks scare...

[@WhisperingNightmares92]

+Eleazar D. Castillo you are not a connor's fan

[@salt580]

yes i am...but i like the objectivity

[@WhisperingNightmares92]

Eleazar D. Castillo nah you are not or may be you dont know how to read body language.

[@isamolii7247]

He did flinched. People might not see it, but Conor is already gotten into dosanjos head.

[@l1city]

I like both, but RDA is next level, he just put a beat down on 6'1 Cowboy who was on a 8 win beat down streak himself. McGregor got a skilful, but unquestionably lucky win over Aldo, don't even try and dispute that. This will be a war!

[@kberlin85]

+Mark Elwin please STFU with your stupid conclusions

[@allansamaniego1471]

Conor has a bigger reach than cerrone ,that plays into factor a lot

[@alexcacares6547]

+allan samaniego Yeah so what? Nate Diaz has a bigger reach than Conor and that didn't stop RDA from destroying him.

[@kberlin85]

Alex Cacares conor is the better striker and his movment is wey better than diaz and he has 1 punch ko power RDA will lose

[@alexcacares6547]

kberlin85 RDA blew through Pettis, Cerrone, Diaz and Henderson. Conor will lose

[@alvarogines6788]

completly chapo guzman....

[@TheoWalcott-sm7zg]

+Alvaro Crespo lol

[@slicvm]

Chapo had more class than this clown. Don't associate them.

[@lefthook6804]

You can say whatever you want about Dos Anjos but you must admit that he has one of the meanest staredowns in MMA

[@ThaLedExpert]

That fail move for the handshake from Dana, lol

[@krusty6928]

Connor punked on his ass

[@conormcchrist7215]

Accept me as your lord and savior, and I will make you and your whole family rich.

[@johnrambro5928]

At first Anjos was literally just ignoring everything Conor said in this presser, then you could see him getting progressively more pissed and he even said he wants to punish him just like Aldo. Conor knows what he is doing and its already working

[@jonasfadi8213]

Conor is lucky af that Diaz did him the honor of tapping him out, RDA would have mounted him like he does his wife

[@pjkinneen]

Rafael did flinch and also this is the first press deal plenty of time for McGregor to get into his head

[@edwardodavila5617]

Left him hanging. LMAO

[@sergiobruce2175]

he wasn't going for a handshake

[@Jamierockson]

+Edwardo Davila it was like hand over my belt

[@martineri2000]

+Jamie Murray the same I thought

[@RichDodger1]

Nah he was recreating the El Chapo picture.

[@sergiolo569]

+Immortal Nexon exactly

[@ManrantsonMRA]

I'm not his biggest fan but RDA is on the juice so I hope Connor kos him

+Manrantson MRA How do you know?

[@UnexistingChannel]

+Manrantson MRA That's a serious accusation and he's always come back clean on the testing, so I suggest you stop talking out of your ass and enjoy watching the biggest hype train derail in MMA history.

[@lightbearer7508]

Nah RDA is natural. Built like a bull. You can tell the difference with people on PEDs. Like Aldo was deffo coming off PEDs in his last fight. Looked soft and frail.

Jas Pal There was little to no difference in his physique compared to his last fights.

[@lightbearer7508]

+Rômulo Rocha yes there was. He was ripped in his fights with mendes. Against mcgregor he wasn't as muscular and looked a lot skinnier. Not to mention the psychological effects of coming off PEDs. His confidence in his physical abilities must have been shot. I don't think you know much about athletes, etc.

[@randyvalencia6798]

Rafael blinked when Conor flinched at him. Welcome to Eire.. EIRE!

[@arabizo]

He was posing for the el chap edit on his instagram ahahahha

[@Seaileanu]

Nighty night, Dos Anus!

[@maxpal27]

rip rda

[@sandman41688]

never underestimate the quiet ones

[@keewayjoe]

that versace shirt is saucy though

[@trieepychizza]

It's funny how Dana White thought the handshake was for him when McGregor hands out his hand

[@CoolAsianGuy]

umm no

[@manoigangtv7080]

People kill when they say it's a different ball game when Connor moves up.. HE IS A NATURAL 155 and has fought that way for many years including being a champ.. If anything he's more scarier at this class no severe weigh cut like that.. That weight cut to 145 was killing him and he still showed high level performances and K.O after K.O.. So imagine at 155

[@bodybalancer]

When he scootches a little closer with his outstretched hand 😆 hehe

[@bopannatk8346]

for a moment rafael looked like alexis sanchez

[@rudzpogz7795]

The KING is not waiting for shake hands..He was like "Gimme that fuck'n Belt"...haha..

[@slicvm]

You know he was waiting a shake to later move his hand out of the way. He has done stupid things like taking the belt before. You wish he was that cool. He does not do subtle moves on the contrary he flaunts them.

[@lightbearer7508]

The King can go fuck himself and you can give yourself a nice big Stockton slap. Bitches!

[@jackblack5623]

Rad so kicked ass! Love it!!!

[@Gaslitelilbaby]

RDA didn't "flinch". He just closed his eyes for a sec , so he couldn't see that ungly face closer.

[@danielbmarrqueezzz6568]

He found no fear in Dos Anjos. Will be a battle of heart and skills. Should be a good fight.

[@andydoufreisn2973]

LOL at this comment...

[@maczac123]

This is going to come across clich'e, the saying "You can tell alot about someone by looking in their eyes," it is true. Dos Anjos and McGregor both, have that extremely focus stare on fight night. McGregor when he walks out. Dos Anjos more when he fights. I am extremely excited not only for this fight but for Holms vs Tate as well. Great card.

[@TheRoryR21]

They need to make the belts in each weight class look a LITTLE different... that way Conor could hold his in the shot and no one would be confused. Would just add to the aesthetic of the hype for the fight.

[@philtubeish]

Hey wouldnt it be awesome if Conor's entrance song was I'm Shipping Up To Boston - Dropkick Murphys ????

[@thepopeisdope559]

I honestly think a fight that would attract serious interest would be lawler, frankie and RDA all fighting mcgregor at the same time with the tree belts being on the line, obviously still think mcgregor would win but could be somewhat interesting anyone else agree?

[@MAXTHUNDER99]

Conor wasn't extending his hand to shake Rafael's. But for Dos Anjos to just hand over his belt and skip the beating.

[@Juquinha...]

Conor McGregor is Max Cady the movie Cape Fear

[@alisalam47]

Memories 🙏

[@stephenmaharaj3242]

Dana at 31 secs always has me crackin up🤣

[@saitamad3080]

Conor can not see fear in Rafael eyes

[@joshuafranklin1826]

Dana be like : can i shake that hand?

[@greenwalds7251]

what type of shirt is connor wearing? its so awesome

[@regrob16]

Can't wait for this one too

[@makingitchina418]

damn RDA definitely took that one to the books!! McGregor got scared there..

[@Mentox95]

my sister getting this fight on ppv for her birthday whether she wants it or not.

[@thebiggestcontroversy5881]

conor try to be nice with shakehands awesome

[@FlatSkip]

I like both em tbh I'm not sure who's gonna win. Ain't gonna bet on this one.

[@justinobrien700]

This video has more views than RDA's last fight haha

[@roquecampos9145]

RDA lowkey flinched 😂

[@snowypoem5591]

no, he didn't

[@ganamcg5770]

This is beautiful, as a fighter!

[@dangerousaltoids]

Yeah...Ready to see this fight go down for sure.. Also curious to see how Tate and Holm goes down as well......GREAT CARD!!! =) Damnit UFC you got my $ again.

[@mihamiklicstrizovic7647]

what is the brand of conor mcgregors shirt?

[@jaimepena463]

dos anjos dont look so scared as jose in the face off

[@CalvinHikes]

who has that belt now?

[@comicslovers975]

I changed your bum life now everyone know you - Joe Hogan to this video

[@elpadrino402]

Lmao

[@maroka25]

RDA has been thru some tough times in his career with earlier losses...But this RDA is a whole new beast and he'll take the fight to McGregor n put the hurt on him...McGregor won't back down either n will try to hold his own so I believe this fight will be something special...One thing for sure someone's ol lady will break out the Red panties

[@DayTreaper]

I miss this :/

[@ValIlias]

Whats the fights date?

[@texasboogie]

When is this fight going down?

[@FullMetalJesus84]

[@cleneloalvaroid1123]

Fegs be like" that shirt is fabulous!" No disrespect tho lol

[@saintrari7888]

I knew Conor was big for the Featherweight division but damn! He's as big or maybe even a little bit more bigger than RDA.

[@hi.nixson]

Fear has a strong stench…

[@smallepu92]

I'm not going to lie. I think RDA is one of the best fighters in the division if not UFC but I honestly see conor dominating the fight. people say things about his wrestling, his experience or whatever but the man knows how to get out of those situations and place himself in vantage points.

[@joemora6171]

Me encantan los face off!

[@omgtitsrgood]

Luciano: (in Italian) you should shake it...

[@mrleefox]

We're is full press conference

[@MrHabart]

I like both of these fighters a lot, I'll be very impressed if Conor pulls this off and takes 2 belts.
