"Sleep on a win, you'll wake up with a loss." Real gems dropped in this interview. Conor could be a case study in sports psychology and mental strength in general.
he LOVES sports-related quotes and in fact he spoke one of the wisest things about his approach to mma. look up obsessed quote mcgregor and ull know wat i mean.
Love him or hate him, the takeaway for anyone listening to Conor should be how valuable the mental aspect is to anything in life. I'm currently dealing with a serious illness and when I am feeling defeated I go on UA-cam and listen to this guy speak. I immediately feel stronger. I think his mental game accounts for a large proportion of his skill set and success.
It's not "talking trash" or being arrogant. He is applying the practice of positive thinking, visualization and realization. Those who see it otherwise are, like most people, limiting themselves and don't even know it. Thank you Connor. You are a great conduit of the Universe!
I mostly agree with you, but I also think that he has a lot of preconceived ideas that haven't been tested yet. As we've seen with the Nate Diaz fight, never underestimate anyone. When I first heard about the Rafael dosAnjos fight my first reaction was "no, he can't win against dosAnjos". Rafael has proven over and over that he's a beast in his class. I'm glad that he's positive but as we've seen with the Diaz fight pride comes before a fall and like Rhonda Rousey he needs to reign it in. At least he's likeable unlike Rhonda.
In 2021. It makes complete sense now why he isn't as hungry. He was never hungry for the fight game. He was hungry for financial security. Much respect.
I get your point but thats not exactly accurate , Conor is a true fighting man but just because you want to fight doesn't mean you'll win , being willing is only the 1st step , there are so many more factors influencing his life than just his will to fight. For most fighters , fighting is their identity , but its not for Conor because he transcended fighting. At his core he is still a fighter and he always will be he'll always have that fire and you can hear it when he speaks but its not all he is or his only identity he's became so much more than that. Something that only 4 fighters have ever achieved : Muhammad Ali , Mike Tyson , Floyd Mayweather , & Conor McGregor. Even other big ppv stars still have not completely transcended their own sport the way those 4 did. There's not much left for Conor to do he needs to set new goals but this leg break seems to have gotten his mind back on track we'll see
Say what you want about Conor McGregor but since him joining the UFC and me watching his fights and interviews it has inspired me to go back to my local mma gym every week and focus on my goals. A true inspiration!
Wet a well spoken and intelligent young man, with wit. There is nothing fake in this man, hes what Chael Sonnen wanted to be, but lacked the integrity. I can only imagine this guy in 2 years. He reminds me of ALI, talked and delivers, witty and serious. He is something special and only he himself can ruin it. He has an entire country counting on him, riding his back, motivating him.. If you understand the Irish people you know they are fighters with hearts bigger than their chest with national pride.
@@davidnelson1090 done mate predicted the same shame about the downfall but you were right about that as well only Conor that brought his own downfall with all the inactivity
At this point in time he was either 26 or 27 years old. He's awfully young and has yet a lot of obstacles to encounter in life. I love him because he epitomises the Celtic spirit. The Celts always had a loud mouth and a lot of bravado. They told tales of unbelievable bravery about themselves because they lived in a brutal world and it helped to bolster them for future wars. Connor is very much a Celt. A vulnerable tough guy. I didn't think he lost against Diaz, he gave Diaz a pretty mighty beating and Diaz looked a mess. In the 2nd round Diaz got a punch in to the side of Connor's head and after that he slowed down. I don't think he gassed even though Connor thinks he did. I think Connor would massacre Diaz in a future rematch. Plus I think he's great for Ireland.
Financially you're doing well now Connor but you're also a big spender and as you've said the fighting game is finite, so protect yourself. I'd love to see him in movies. Apart from Scott Adkins there are no action stars anymore, I'd love to see the action genre come back.
My main takeaway from this is that Connor has always had lapses in motivation and is prone to slacking off, he’s one of those people who can either work at an insane capacity or can drift into slacking off. Crazy to think that after he became Cage warriors champion he thought about quitting then the UFC rang 😂 he did the same before fighting khabib and Dustin 2, it’s always been part of his character
4 years ago I graduated, having a predisposition to influence others, I learned in an unconscious way the ways of speaking of McGregor, needless to say that they gave me the highest marks and the professors were moved saying that I was a determined and brilliant soul, from there I began to have a great job, Good relationships and a high quality of life, thanks Conor, if I ever succeed in something really great lo I owe it to you
so transparent, so humble, so wise, love listening to Conor, on "the perfect storm" (or systems theory as it applies to becoming genius), on the mental side of the Force, on presence, on the journey, hopefully he stays true to his word at 35.41
35:50 'I am smarter than I look' haha I love what he says about Martial Art on 35:02.. really cool thoughts and interview held by CMG (which is not usual)
Arjan Tv no one knew Khabib would be this dominant 3 years Agos. Everyone knew he was a dangerous challenger. No one knew he would be this good. Come on now
He take all the money!!! 💰 Now he’s millionaire, cruising with his yacht 🛥️ around, with his wife and 4 children… Making more and more money 💰 not fighting, different business, Hollywood… Love him or hate him, he lives his dream!!!
Conor has a very strong mental game and that's a big advantage in this sport. I'm confident he will beat Aldo and knock him the feck out come July 11. Hopefully the Brazilian midget doesn't pull out of the fight coz of his rib injury! It's clear as day that Aldo fears Conor 😁
There was a time when his name was on everyones lips and had the whole country proud of him. Then give him a few pound and he shows his true colours. Now he's a disgrace to the country and only for himself. Sad 😔
crazy to think "this might not be for me".. thn ur givin a shot nd ur brain chemistry alters drastically while it aligns w ur soul.. once mind body soul are aligned the doors open nd no1 can stop you but urself
there's no doubt Conor is a special fighter with a big personality, and not a fake forced personality but his real self and it maybe a cocky at times but every fighter needs that at this level he just verbalizes it in a different way but as special as he is he has a high risk style, and in a sport like ufc everyone has holes and this style like Silva's is a style where you can pay a big price when those holes are exposed. I just don't think he'll have anywhere near the career of a Jones or Silva or other awkward style fighters have, but he's a great talent regardless
+arrgh garry I don't think you understand, you had as long as you wanted to come up with that and it still wasn't slightly impressive, what I mean is he doesn't plan his insults, he comes up with what he says instantly, and that's what's unbelievable
Brilliant stuff. Far too many people have a hatred for Connor, much like they do for maywether. Self belief is frowned upon these days and it's fucking sickening.
Daniel Gallagher because people like to watch nasty shits and then post nasty comments because he is a nasty arrogant shit ,its human nature ,and also it is human nature to say domething nice or good or praise them when they do something good,and if by chance he did something good i would say so
Conor is a one of those rare individuals who is the complete package. He is well on his way to becoming the greatest MMA artist of all time. I cannot wait to see him kick Aldo's ass!!!!
"You stare at your past and you'll end up staying there."
"You sleep on a win and you'll wake up with a loss."
Great quotes from the notorious one.
Yup! He may not know it, but what he said is scriptural!
@@alexanderespada8871 wtf is that even mean? “He may not know it.” He was literally ahead of his time with his mentality.
"Sleep on a win, you'll wake up with a loss."

+ShaolinPete 21:55
+truthspeaks84 In hindsight, do you think he slept on the Aldo win - leading to the Diaz loss? 100% sure he'll bounce back at 200!

Ernesto Caro thanks man, means a lot.
Robert Irons are you referring to how Conor thinks?
It's therapeutic just listening to this guy speak. Conor is the epitome of the Law of Attraction.
The Trading Team beautifully put
The Trading Team
Couldn't agree with you more.
Perfect statement
The law of attraction is based of luciferian ideals
"When you go face to face with a man and he bows before you, you dont advance on him. You pat him on the head and carry on"~McGregor on Dustin Poirier
abeeftec its a mental game
It's not "talking trash" or being arrogant. He is applying the practice of positive thinking, visualization and realization. Those who see it otherwise are, like most people, limiting themselves and don't even know it. Thank you Connor. You are a great conduit of the Universe!

Miss this Conor mcgregor. This guy was just different than anyone we have ever seen.
Ya very special time in his life and a true moment in time that cannot be replicated
In 2021. It makes complete sense now why he isn't as hungry. He was never hungry for the fight game. He was hungry for financial security. Much respect.
why is the fool fighting then,cmon he just lost aint that bad,he can ko any other lw

I have a math exam in an hour

nice excuse
18 minutes to go man

Like him or hate him. This man is a warrior and he does not know what giving up is.
Love early McGregor. And this interviewer is fantastic. Informed, concise, relevant questions.
Thank you Connor, you are my first inspiration why I started training like you, and cried that I reached my goal
