UFC champ Conor McGregor speaks with CNN

UFC champ Conor McGregor discusses unique training techniques, pet tigers and Donald Trump's U.S. presidential campaign.

[@menelikwatson4808]

WHy is she asking him questions about Donald Trump or the presidential election like he gives a shit about any of that, Hell, Most Amerricans could give less than a shit about it.

[@trynalearn]

Very true. Should've asked him about a candidate not wrapped up in popularity and controversy.... Bernie

[@TruthStartsNow3]

Menelik Watson And that's why your country is so fucked up.

[@bighands69]

Menelik Watson He actually might care but is intelligent enough to be coy in regards to it.

[@Triangulove]

Menelik Watson Because it's CNN!

[@bootyfruity2]

Menelik Watson because it's CNN and that is what they talk about over there. The fact that they interviewed Conor is a bit strange to me.

[@brandont4693]

Irish Bruce Lee right here.

[@BobbyBoonyBrown]

Cousin skeeter And McGregor actually has recorded fights to prove that he's good.

[@joeharko2576]

Lol. Bruce lee is not a real fighter.

[@lordroyaltee]

Joe Harko Yea he was just some badass actor/stuntman that whooped anyone's ass who thought he was a joke. LOL

[@conorfrancis1495]

I agree his movement power and speed are identicle

[@celticjordan1]

Th3DoM1naToR Hell yeah!!! Bruce lee the greatest of all time!!!!

[@danielwood0318]

I'll vote for you, Conor.

[@roccocassara1238]

Maybe I...will run...for president.

[@shair00]

Would Donald Trump do well in the UFC? Did she really ask this? Why not ask if Hugh Hefner would do well?

[@AmuckPVP]

shair00 She might as well say, "Hefner vs Trump!!! Make it happen!!! Trump will win by the 2nd round because Hefner will get a heart attack. The winner will face the champ Obama for presidency." Where in the hell do they find these incompetent reporters & I wouldn't doubt it if she was an unpaid intern.

[@J23486]

shair00 Trump couldn't do five pushups to save his life.

[@shair00]

***** HIS HAIR PIECE COULD BE READY ANY DAY NOW.....YOUR NOT SEEING HE GOOD STUFF...LMAO

[@jacksonneomusic]

shair00 Trump would win 1st round because Hugh Hefner is dead

[@event201plandemicyoutubese2]

McGregor 2016 for President

[@gabewagner3693]

For the USA? Can't, he wasn't born in the USA

[@gurneymcbuzzin5066]

That didn't stop Obama did it Gabe.

[@UnreliableUsername]

Gabe Wagner And Arnold Schwarzenegger can become a Governor?

[@paddymuppy]

why would he want to become president of the dumbest, most hated, war mongering evil nation on the planet. You stick with that fuckwit Trump.

[@InsaneFame]

MD They do now.

Jonathan Luna "like" being the most important word in that sentence.

[@Murderdolls1990]

***** You guys act like this isn't the interim belt lol. It exists for marketing purposes.

Levi Frankforter chicken shit Brazilian but he did put every single one from the devision on the ground and the BELT WAS NOT paid for pal!!! witch means Aldo REMAINS THE REAL KING!!!!

[@Summer_Sausage]

He's still backed out of 6 title defenses. Still a chicken shit

[@Leaps-xz3hg]

Levi Frankforter stfu he had a injured rib you moron. That chicken shit has beaten almost everyone in his division. McGregor skipped almost everyone to a title shot. Aldo has fought everyone. He gets injured so what? Jon jones has pulled out of 5 events himself, GSP has pulled out of 4, Anthony Pettis has pulled out of 5, and Weidman has already pulled out of 4 events if I recall correctly and he has only had 3 title defenses. I don't hear you call them chicken shit. Aldo has to work harder than everybody else in his division if he wants to stay at the top and his division is so talented which means he has to push his body to limits causing injuries. You're a fucking idiot. Go back to watching WWE cause you obviously a casual fan who just jumped to the McGregor bandwagon.

[@princbul]

he is tired of all the media and all the haters.take a rest King Conor you deserve it

[@barrygreene007]

Im from Ireland and Mcgregor is on a level of his own to the people over here. Not quite like Manny Pacquiao in the Philippines but you get my drift.

[@greengob1iin864]

Connor is such a troll. He’s fucking hilarious

[@Bulsebub]

2:27 those handshakes

[@laryanstewart]

What is the interviewers name?

[@NeedMoreJuice.]

Connor McGregor looks like Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars

[@ism4962]

I think he's high asf here!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mecloc4453]

I agree with him on a lot

[@mecloc4453]

Randy Abern haha see my channel pal, Ufc is about wrestling more than martial arts. You sports fans never get it but all the real martial artists get it. Only the wrestlers and jiu jitsu guys wonder why real martial artist champs dont fight in the ufc. So which are you sports fan? wrestler? jiu jitsu?

[@evexxxxx]

Conor sounds like he hit the bong before that interview. ...or he just has problems reading off the teleprompter, where they write his responses for him. You can see it when his eyes shift from left to right constantly.

[@sintech14]

He carries himself like a king. Only Conor McGregor can announce his running for presidency of the United States without cracking a smile.

[@KORNEWARRIOR]

Absolute LEGEND.

[@TheFirstCrown]

He sounds very tired? And seems like his isn't feeling all to well? I hope it's nothing serious !

[@replicacity92]

That's how he talks

[@indiepc668]

Dino Hodzic Tough leg injury btw.

[@aisforannihilation1662]

Maybe on something for pain from knee injury. I hope he's ok too. He looks really off & tired. Has every reason to b exhausted w/ his schedule but I don't like how his eyes look. Have to watch more interviews from post Mendes fight. Would b terrible if head injury related. He has seemed off since the fight tho. Hope he's just tired & not messed up. What a shame if he is messed up from damage taken altho u'd never know it during fight. Took it like a champ.

[@tomsjanis2907]

+A is for Annihilation you're right, his eyes do seem off. I think something is going on and we are not being told about it

[@replicacity92]

Toms Druvaskalns well he was just in a fight

[@stevenmonash624]

This win seems to have boosted Connor's confidence.. he was so retiring and seemed to lack confidence before this.

[@djones4028]

Conor McGregor was in the middle of talking about tigers and the interviewer just interrupts and starts asking him about Donald Trump lol what??? How??? Why??? 😧😧😧😧

[@axelstone3131]

Adding weights and strength training would benefit Conor. Even Bruce lee knew this.

[@georgem7195]

It’s just unbelievable to think this is the same person as the absolute sloppy goof we see on Instagram these days. What a tragic metamorphosis of character.

[@TheFacepuncher]

"We'll work on your citizenship". I really hope she doesn't think that would be able to allow him to become president.

[@wangpuaaboh2909]

Love this Fighter....inspiration!

[@franklin9613]

Connor McGregor could be an actor as a ruthless warrior or some game of thrones type character whose a savage and raging mad-man.

Conor Mcgregor 2020

[@GODTHESOOTHSAYER1]

Conor works out in his Gorilla outfit while foraging throughout the trees and exercising for his next match... That was Conor in this video in his workout tree...

[@geffres]

Rachael Nichols handled this like a pro, McGregor is a really hard interview sometimes this was a good one

[@hashtagscooterswagyoloswag7828]

she tried getting him to talk about politics 😂 she’s a fucking idiot, “would trump do well inUFC?”

[@ThiccusDickus]

He is the Irish bruce lee but still admits ronda rousey would lay him out

[@clintwarwick2191]

Is there anyone else out there that thinks this is fake, and not in no ordinary way, but like he is being controlled, and almost hypnotized, or cloned, to talk like this? Very smart and very Articulate? Had anyone seen the little bits when Conor is being interviewed for Jose also, and it looks like he's in a trance?? Very weird indeed

[@mhel1angel308]

I watched the ufc 190 postfight last night "dana quoted ufc190 did better than 189, after its not McGregor show

[@vouduska]

respect conor but thats not the real belt

[@matt1335]

DM It would be if Where's W-Aldo showed up.

[@snakeplay]

***** No one claims he is the real champion he is the real champion. You want someone to come into fight with a bruised rib and not be able to move or wrestle. But he deserves the belt being temporary held by Conor. Conor is the real deal he might have gotten destroyed wrestling wise but he Bjj defense was very good and his striking just fucked up Chad Mendes. Honestly Aldo vs Mcgregor could go anyway, even though aldo has been dominating for the last 8 years

[@UnreliableUsername]

DM Ah give over, ALDO RAN SCARED BECAUSE HE WOULD FAIL A DOPE TEST. McGregor is a true champ.

[@Mcfc2Rich]

No he borrowed it of WEC...it's a UFC belt, deal with it.

[@BrandonHeat92]

It's the Real Belt.. and he'll be the sole champion soon.

[@meligeni]

Brazil supports Conor McGregor.

[@Danger____]

0:25 now Conor is bodybuilding 💀

[@Xceles618]

After Connor knocks out a tiger in single combat he's commin' for Jose Aldo. And Dat Belt.

[@ericjhaber]

Just so everyone who doesn't really follow MMA knows, he is NOT a champion. He is an INTERIM champion. This basically means he is keeping the thrown warm until the true champion Jose Aldo comes back from injury. When Jose comes back, these two will fight for the championship.

[@rugvedpawar7114]

[@rennogade8177]

corner is the champ, Aldo was praying Chad would win coz he's scared and now when they meet, Aldo's career is over.

[@AJDEFIXION]

Interim champ*

[@jacobdonohoe3214]

"Yeah I'd like an orange and black one" - CNN flash up a video of a man struggling to control a white tiger... like mcgregor would struggle? THE TIGER WOULD BE STRUGGLING TO CONTROL HIM

[@TheLittlegoaty]

First interview I seen since McGregor has the interm belt. He's starting to get weird. The superiority thing is getting a bit out of hand and I don't find him humble.

[@m1sCh1eVoUsMaVeRiCk]

Woot, woot. McGregor, 2016!

[@goasupreme4804]

UFC champ ? I don't remember him beating Aldo. Just beating the guy that Aldo whooped 2 times

[@anasshahid224]

Conor McGregor is the best 🙌😃🇮🇪

[@marcusoruiari2099]

Its a wild Animal! Free it! Im from Ireland and this tiger business is sickening! Conor dont go down that road.

[@ViperVenoM13]

INTERIM please

[@ziongite]

Having the UFC belt for your country doesn't actually have any bearing and doesn't help your country. Something like high academics and business success and a successful country is what is important. Not silly stuff like fighting. If more Irish youths think they will be fighters then that would only make the country worse in fact. This is the modern world, it isn't the cave men era. Technology is advancement and science is what is important and makes one country more powerful than the other.

[@josh1212121]

looks like he just woke up lol

[@gales9969]

Don't buy a tiger. Have respect for them and leave them in the wild where they belong. Conor could always finance a tiger to be protected in his name and even see him/her when he wants. Exotic wild animals are meant to be in the wild not pets for people with too much money.

[@andrewgriffin4624]

First Clint Eastwood, Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter and now Conor McGregor all standing up for Trump! Toupee Power! Trump, 2016 Baby!

[@travelersarib6995]

Did she for real ask if Trump trump would do good in the UFC. That’s like asking if Hugh Hephner would be a good Preist

I guess that laughing gas wasn't a thing then hahahahaha

[@miagifodder5599]

Mcgregor keep that idea in your head to be president then onto Brazil.

[@CamRN81]

He only looked a little thrown off on the trump question.

[@faridamin2410]

Jose would take this guy out of his dream delusional world even Chad would have done that but not having a full training camp and only 2 weeks training was not enough

[@iamyourgod530]

Know wander why ESPN has been so political. One of there anchors works for CNN.

[@Kanklesisgod]

Don't know why she's asking him about politics he's not american why would he care. And I know a lot of Irish won't like this but in all honesty AND reality, that's the interim belt for a reason. Needs to beat aldo before he's the champ

[@473incognito]

Aldo needs to turn up! He can only beat who's put in front of him!

[@gregorsmith]

473incognito Like Conor showed up for his fights after he tore his knee up. If someone is injured they are injured.

[@arsen-jb1gs]

good answer conor, you should run as the president of USA. CNN was pick aside on this presidential eclection, conor knows it and actually he just don't care about it but they ask him.

[@chrislopez9436]

Connor is awesome lol

[@Arthurdankarelli]

That's a fugazi BOBO belt right there. Aldo is the champ

[@MangoMan360]

This is it... He proved it... He can talk shit on any given topic.. :D

[@grapefruitsimmons]

Hes not really the champ. They just decided to make an interim title so they can get more money

[@TheJakub345]

lol he wants a tiger

[@77sandy49]

His a Irish BEAST

[@cristianmontes5546]

Donald Trump vs CM punk i think thats a fair fight

[@timekeeper20ARC]

McGregor is my guy and all but he sound out of breathe for?

[@ray14romario]

timekeeper20ARC I was honestly just thinking that... It seemed like he was really out of it. He didn't seem himself.

[@donttouchmysoda6178]

probably because he just got out of a war in the octagon 😂

[@ray14romario]

I know this wasn't just me... But didn't he seem really out of it? Seems like he wasn't feeling well..

[@jamesfiaco4922]

McGregor will get my vote for president. If he can demonstrate. How he will get mixed martial arts. Implemented into our school systems. And takes my advice on how to. Create jobs, from coast-to-coast globally even. That are going to improve a person's health at the same time. Cleaning our airways waterways and landscape. All these candidates for president. Know nothing about becoming physically fit mentally sound and spiritually balanced. Through the loyalty and devotion that goes hand-in-hand with mixed martial arts.

[@04tsxpower]

Aldo is the champ

[@ComedianMoeBrown]

hes holding the belt like that is a real belt.. aldo is champ?

[@DJ_Papi_Luna]

Yeah and what? Lol Not like Also holds the belt with any pride, hell he even got the belt snatched from Conor lol

[@ComedianMoeBrown]

[@irishbrother5303]

When he left and you walk back and forth in circles Hatred got inside your head. I know it. Your about to commit a crime, which you did. Injured innocent people. Smashed a fan phone. Punched old man. If this conor saw you he’d give you the real left hand. Peace
