  • On July 17, 2014, we took a stroll around Dublin with Conor McGregor. This interview was shot two days before McGregor's return fight in Dublin versus Diego Brandao.
    In the interview, McGregor talks about his rise in popularity, his humble beginnings, how his career almost never was, his future plans, and much more.

      i always say this. Yes conor massively boosted the popularity of the ufc, but the overall product was better in the pre-mcgregor era. Golden days of UFC is late 2000s to early 2010s. Its give or take a bit, but id say it was the best roughly from about 2008 til about 2014

      There's a small window to grab these guys on their ascension before they become too big to do stuff like this, whether it's because they're way too busy, or crowd would go nuts, or they just don't have any interest in building their profile in a very candid way, which sucks because it's such a good format. I feel like Israel has one or two of these in him before he outgrows it - although he's an Internet kid so maybe he'll always be up for it.

You listed the main ones for males. What ab females? Nurturing, independent, billionaire CEO, anything less than kim kardashian or any top model wont cut it. Those are the only women who can get guys like that. The women who expect a guy with all that but literally have absolutely nothing to offer will get a bug slap in the face by reality later in life its sad

      To be fair, all other fighters in the UFC are working just as hard. At least all the top 5s in their respective divisions. Genetics have been kind to Conor. Long reach for his height.

  • @nicksprofile

    i love the part where he said that somewhere down the line he wanted a 5 round war. And when Ariel asked him who could give that to him he said nobody. And then he said, "at least in the featherweight division." Which is totally true because he mopped the floor with every featherweight he fought. It wasn't until he fought diaz at 170 that he got his 5 round war. It just shows how good this guy is at assessing and predicting things. Everything he visualizes is so accurate and it all almost happens to a tee.

    Watched Conor grow to a superstar in front of my eyes. First time I saw this guy was in an interview in 2013, had not yet seen him fight but the way he spoke captivated me, his mind was that of an intelligent man and I was intrigued. It's great to see this, sometimes looking at Conor now as great and entertaining as he is its always nice to go back to the essence. The early days. The kid from Dublin with big dreams on his way to smash the game and the whole of pop culture. Became a fan and put this guy as a wallpaper across all social media and nobody at the time knew who he was. I'm glad the rest of the world saw what I did that day I was sitting alone on the computer and stumbled across an interview. Though I like to call all new fans bandwagoners lol

    21.37: Only Irish people will get this one. When Conor was talking about working as an apprentice plumber, he referred to the job he was working in as being "out the country". Dublin people think Ireland consists of two places. 1. Dublin. 2. Out The Country (everywhere else). I worked in Dublin years ago and loved it. People knew me as "That work experience student. You know him - Yourman from down the country"! Brilliant time and they were amazing to me.

Thats why i always say if mma ever starts paying enuff to attracting NBA type caliber athletes, it will be a whole different story. Just imagine if someone like Lebron or Giannis had trained mma their whole lives instead of bball. Would easily be heavyweight champ stacked up against the current heavyweight rosters

Got friends coming in other people who trained box/kickboxing and I found that i was really talented because I was winning with people who trained in the gym before and people who didn't.
