I really liked this Conor. It’s a shame he had to revert to his old ways in the trilogy. He still has the skill to perform without all the trash talking
If McGregor wants to succeed like he did back in 2015/16, he needs to go to karate stance McGregor and not boxing
This Conor was terrible. In terms of entertainment that is. Being humble is boring. Being arrogant and charismatic is what sells fights and is more fun to watch
@@saturnringer267 if you find that stuff interesting, I feel sorry for you mate
@@shakirahmed440 your name explains everything
@@shakirahmed440 You must feel sorry for a lot of people because Conor is what he is because of the trash talking an personality. Go watch Karate if you want a nice respectful bout.
Who's got the first question? *Why do we even ask?* 😲
Was looking for this comment as soon as he said it😂
Yeah, well done man. Inventive.
Peter griffin always there
Lol yup
How does he always get the first question though??
I like how Connor mentioned Dustin’s hot sauce business and his other achievements
Dude who asked That question was disrespectful Dustin has the good fight organization and his hot sauce
Mind games. Dustin noticed it too
Yeah,more grounded now
@@suavecito7456 lmao absolutely. The way he talks about him is like he's talking down on him. "I have been impressed with Dustin". Lol who the fook are you?
@@suavecito7456 I think youre looking too far into it lol what exactly would that type of "mind game" do to help Conor win the fight..? He mentioned it because the dude completely discredited Dustin doing anything outside of fighting.
Motivated McGregor vs Salon Quality Poirier! What a time for mma fans.
Because we all know when dustin is bald he loses lol
Bald always loses
“Salon Quality Poirier” is good lol
This is a garbage time for fight fans. If you think back to 2004-2013, those were the times being a fight fan were amazing.
GSP, Matt Hughes, Anderson Silva, Frank Mir, Liddell, Ortiz, Franklin, Machida, Shogun, Fedor, Pride, the list goes on.
Watching McTapper hype a fight is nothing compared to the old Glory days.
@@cdb5001 I like how gritty it was but the skill has improved as time goes by same with any other sport
"Oh so you humble now." - Nate Diaz
Underrated comment 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This should be the number one comment lmao.
Can someone tag me when/where he said this
Thanks to khabib to made him humble 😆
Holloway vs Faber in skateboarding division
i would pay a full PPV for that
Lol
@thenineclub
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 Division
McGregor to Urijah: you look like a 50yo retired skateboarder
McGregor to Max: you look like a 20yo beginner skateboarder
"I feel like I'm only STARTING"
- Man who retired 14 times
Bahahhahahh... beauty ...bahahah
Well those are outta frustration and we know that. Conor's easily in the best days of his game rn
I smell an upset.
I feel like Poirer should be favorite in this.
@@drewh2822 i said the same🤷♂️
What is all this niceness? I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe.
Dustin saying “you’ll taste it sunday morning, then i’ll give you a bottle afterwards” was gold. Very subtle and slick and yet no one mentioned it yet. Conor was even thrown off.
What do you think he meant by saying that?
@@OrdinaryRefrigirator He'll make Conor taste the shots.
@@simplelife88393 exactly. He said Sunday morning which is when the fight will take place in Abu Dhabi time zone
Or maybe Conor won’t taste it until after his fight lol. I see what you mean though, the energy of the conference would point more to him actually tasting it after the fight. If he meant what you say then it’s a really good subtle threat 😁
No wait I rewatched it. I agree with you, yes he definitely meant the way you say. Good catch 😃
Wonderboy seeing this new, nice version of McGregor: "I like Conor, I think he's a nice guy. He's even a really nice guy. But really nice is still LEVELS below me."
Hahaha
That’s basically what he said about Masvidal’s striking 😂
Lmao
This is a truly brilliant comment
@@jamesdellinger7320 *the entire division’s striking
its cause its fixed
"The Guy From BT " hahaha Nick died inside
time?
When Conor said book it, i thought he said *FOOK IT* lol
Same lmao
The way this presser went you wouldn’t know Chandler and Hooker were on stage as well.
Doug Smith this is highlights of dusting and Conor
Ya, what Noble John said. This is a highlight.
Watch the full conference, it’s a lot more spread out this is just focusing on the 2 man cards
lol I want all these guys to win. I was so delighted when Conor mentioned Dustins business, no one said anything about it and was just going on about Conor. Dustin is such a great guy, it he gets a win on Saturday I will be delighted for him. Such a good vibe for this bout.
Dude fr same thing with Chandler and Hooker, so much respect between these lightweights
It's so high level competition there, disrespect and trash talk isn't necessary, Conor already made his name, and Dustin is a really cool guy, in the best shape he could ever been for this fight as well... man what a belt!!!! Jesus I can't wait
A press conference with Conor and Holloway would be absolutely hillarious
WERE THE BEST BOXERS IN UFC BAYBEEEE
Dont forget the first question from the fat guy 😂
Not really. Max just says it is what it is and you will see on (insert fight date). Not a percent entertaining.
@@TheChamp91100 LMFAOOOO
If we’re being fo real though I think Max would beat Connor if max went to lightweight, or if Connor went back down to feather weight, Max has drastically improved especially since his first fight with Max
Chandler is going to be in broadcasting when he retires. He speaks well.
He speaks very well, indeed! Hope you’re right.
God I hope not
Chandler and askrin
@@thegodpineapple6152 Nah don't worry he'll be worth a billion when he's done. No need for him to work at that age.
LOL conor casually throwing shots at Dana ... "I'm richer than Dana", "[Khabib did not say that], Dana said that"
Dana knows his place
Conor Mcgregor was never my friend
@Vengeful Fury I think Connor was legitimately surprised khabib was that upset.
Conor spitting facfs
I'm a Khabib fan but Khabib is running from a rematch against McGregor ......i dont why😅😅....
Therapist: cool calm collected Conor can't hurt you, he doesn't exist
This press conference: ...
It was great seeing everyone being so respectful to each other.
Thanks due to Khabib who shows that this sport is more respectable than using an ugly language
Bit boring though
@@GoGetYourShinebox Imo the respectful moments are better to watch overall than insults and trash talk, but I don't mind if there is beef.
@@GoGetYourShinebox super boring, this guy is talking about Khabib like Khabib didnt benefit from the trash talking
@@aineshenry8122 lol fr
I’m enjoying this respect from McGregor, I like seeing this humble side but with confidence!
That's the Khabib effect
@@amigocaffe not really, khabib was with his gang and got in people's faces as well.
It's being a father, and aging abit..
@D B nah he already got his bag from acting like that he would always do that to entertain
It was a fake which caused his downfall, Dustin wasn't in alot of mental stress just because Conor wasn't cocky , that's what Dustin said .
Connor trying to devote some of his shine to Dustin, and his hot sauce brand, maturity at its finest👏
Khabib said he’d humble him and he did.
@@MrXxsnapbacksxx nawww conor has kids to live for and be father figure to so I wouldn't say khabib did it but his son and daughter did 💯
@@deangelodillon4031 nobody cares what you would “say” Khabib said he would humble him and he only started showing respect after Khabib mauled him.
@@MrXxsnapbacksxx so khabib was the first person to choke Conor huh my badd bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watching the 3rd press conference has made this comment aged well
Can't sleep at 2 AM and the thing that I do is just rewatch this respectful press conference
Its amazing seeing Chandler a guy who went to the same highschool as me sitting next to a guy like Conor I hope he has a good debut
Liar
@@jedimindtricks5880 nope I'm not lying he went to the same highschool as me northwest highschool look it up if you don't believe me he took 2nd in state in wrestling his senior year
It must be surreal for you
@@Meltymorty what a simp
“Sitting next to a guy like Connor” I just don’t get how that’s so surreal as someone from your high school just his mma journey and bellator fights should be enough. Don’t be a mega a casual to think sitting next to another fighter is insane
Best part is watching the 3rd conference right after this.
Dana's content smirk as he watches his kids all grown up and getting along
hits the feels man.
Bump 👀👀👀
Connor: "I'm richer than Dana here!"
Dana: Now you're going too far kid! 🤣
Hahahah dead on water
He will be soon
Where?
Habib said b4 the McCregor " I'm gonna make him humble". Well what do you know Connor is being so nice and polite. A nice beating always does the trick
Cool to see these guys over the years how they have grown from becoming fathers like Chandler mentioned. We’ve literally watched them become mature men.
actually Khabib Nurmagomedov killed his soul then he became an angel and lost all his next fights lol
Dustin looked nervous. Just reading the facial expression/body language.
dudes a shy killer dont over think it
12:15 - 12:21 looks anxious af
Nah... he´s been always a natural introvert, while Conor is a natural extrovert...
Looks like he's paying attention, focused
Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. For some people having some nerves actually makes them perform even better. Wouldn't read too much into it.
"I'm RICHER than Dana"
- Conor McGregor 2021
what min
@@alek908 casual
@@alek908 10:25
Isnt dana a billionaire?
@@DMalek how does that make him a casual😂 mma fans throw that out too freely
Conor seems to be legitimately calming down and maturing.
They're all fathers now. Plus Conor been counselling under Tony Robbins. That says it all
I know its scary right 😂😂
Thank Khabib for that
@@grimmywizard He was a father during the Khabib fight so that dont make sense
@@Overtimewinner typical Khasual who became a fan of sport after UFC 229. Conor always been like this.
4:36 - 4:38 I remember when I heard Dustin say that, I knew he had BAD intentions for Conor even they were talking friendly. That was a big red flag. Conor ignored it and remained in that friendly mode and really looked over Poirer all the way until he got knocked out. He didn't even really put up a defense after he got rocked, you could tell he was just in shock in the second fight.
"so chandler, how do you feel about sitting next to mcgregor?"
"Well he's a dad and I'm a dad. He's a pretty dad dad and we are all dad's up here but I think I'm the dadest dad. You know I adopted my son so I'm pretty much a dad."
Oof
👍
this conor's a lot better than the one we saw for the third conference
Loving the lack of trash talk. It’s good to see respectful press conferences.
Imagine if Poirier called McGregor pea head 🤣🤣🤣
I like this Conor better than the one we just saw
The quote question you could see made Conor emotional.
Hmmm, so now mcregor is praising him, he is like making him feel good so its more if a friend attitude, I think thats a mental game for connor and benefits him
Meh I think you’re looking into it too much. I’d say it’s genuine just like Conor’s confidence, he doesn’t need the mind games anymore. Or at least we will see
It doesn't matter if he plays mental games or not, he's a living legend and that's enough to get people inside their own heads. He doesn't have to say anything anymore.
Haha good catch like he's a master of mental warfare at every level of the game
@@Bassist-Beneath even tho it's genuine it can still play with Dustins head. I think it will also affect McGregor in the end as well. looked like he was about to cry after what he did to Cowboy last year.
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking... McGregor totally switched it up. Dustin probably came in locked and loaded with comebacks... And yet all Conor does is act like they're best buds. I DO think this is closer to who Conor really is, but strategy is definitely a part of it.
Lol ppl sleeping like Dustin aint a killer at 55 lmao
Exactly! Dustin will shock the world. The guy went through wars (Alvarez, Gaethje, Holloway, Hooker, Khabib). Dustin got it worked by submission in the third round.
@@ayoubmerzak1733 hes gonna get slept bro
@@honcho4581 We'll see :D Catch you later after the fight
@@ayoubmerzak1733 yup
As long as Conor doesn't which it's pretty clear he isn't than who cares what all the casuals think. Both are super talented and this is a fight where one punch and slip of the mind can change the whole game. Think Conor's composure is his best asset
Mcgregor is going to knock Dustin out
In your dreams..
@@guylocation9823i dont think reality is dreams but conor by knockout first round
Khabib wasn't lying when he said he would humble conor 😂
The old man did , Conor punches the whole man after the khabib fight. Khabib has nothing to do with Conor’s “humbleness”
@@fabriziogarreta7160 connor didn't fight in 2019
All credit for McGregor's humbleness = khabib
Lol. Conor had over 2 years to fight at lightweight and earn another shot at Khabib. Now that he is retired, he returns to the division and says Khabib is running.
Yeah exactly i hope khabib dont fight, lul, mcgregor will probably then get hysterical like a little baby 😎
You got your facts wrong
@@mannylopez3460 lol here is true delusional mcgregor fan, I am pretty sure he doesnt even watch the fights, why are mcgregor fans so delusional, your guy aint the best nate diaz and khabib already proved that, he is a mctapp, lul, 🤣🤣
@@mannylopez3460 ok, what did I get wrong exactly? Conor came back once to fight at Welterweight.....against 0-5 Cowboy....
What am I missing?
@@Integratedsful there's plenty of you saying nobody knows mma lol you must be very knowledgeable good sir
Bro how can a man change so much from January to July. It’s unreal. A completely new person I’m looking at here compared to July
1:03 Dustin trying to figure out if Conor did really change.
Listening to this conor and the conor in their 3rd fight is insane how much he changed
Mc gregor is a changed man, after lesson of khabib gave him.
This conner didn't age well
the king is look like a professor
Thanks Khabib for making conor humble person😅
Conor sounds like he doing some of his court appointed community service
Im not sure if I have ever been this conflicted on who I’m rooting for. After a press conference like that with the amount respect given. How could you possibly root against any the guys lol
Man there’s a lot of bromance on that stage sheesh you wouldn’t know there’s a fight
Nice to see Connor like this. Kind of endearing
Who here after 3rd conference of Conor Dustin
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to preheat the microwave
Tony vs Conor
Hooker vs felder 2
Dustin vs Charles title
Gaethje vs Rafael dos anjos
I miss this conor
It’s funny you know. People said they missed the old Conor that trashtalked when we watched this press conference, but now when we saw Conor in July people say we want this nice Conor back. I agree with you, it wasn’t really enjoyable watching the Conor vs Dustin 3 press conference because Conor sort of forced everything, and it wasn’t genuine.
An entirely different conor in this press con compared to yesterday's press con lol
Dustin wont underestimate Conor's power this time and wont fight fire with fire, like last time. So the 60 sec prediction is way off. Dustin will fight back footed until at least late 2nd/3rd round and then he will step forward.
When a reporter asked Dustin about McGregor's 60 second KO prediction Dustin said in a interview that he wanted him and Conor both to be bleeding within the first 60 seconds so I dont think Dustin is going to be on the backfoot willingly lol
Weather you like Connor or not, he’s like a reality show, he’s brought tons of money and entertainment to ufc, he does love the game and that’s a fight I like to see not some vet who roles on the ground all day and gets no where
Which vets are you referring to?
Conor??
Dustin looks like he doesn’t even wanna be there.
Prolly dehydrated and hungry af haha I wouldn’t wanna be there either
He probably misses has family as well, they couldn’t come so he’s kinda alone
@@BanditGambitpj his family is there bro lol his wife and daughter came like 2 days after he got there
Nobody's talking about how solid chandler looks? Dude looks as ready as they come.
🤣 🤣 He seems calm now...
Is this because of Khabib 😂😂
@6:28 Man you can tell how much dustin really wants that belt. The man didn’t even laugh one bit.
Khabib has really humbled this guy
Conor winning me back with the pleasantries
That first guy always gets the first question
conor is very simple and transparent, theres no trash talk because so far chandler, hooker and dustin has been respectful, he trash talks those he thinks attack him etc. but id imagine conor no longer trash talking no more after all hes a dad now.
This is like an alternate reality watching in 2024 😂
Conor & Dustin in the octagon:
CRUZ: Gaethje with a disastrous leg kick!
Poirier looked so nervous during this entire thing
He’s always like that, just socially awkward
@@GoGetYourShinebox na he's legit nervous I don't blame him. He's finally gotten what he's asked for all these years.
Why does somebody always look like something to y'all?
Dustin can beat Connor. Connor really is an inspiration but I'm rooting for "Diamond". Let's go brother!
Dustin will lose
Conor is going to knock Dustin out just like how he would knock khabib out if they fought again 🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😭
@@chinesedana1567 absolutely
Tony Robbin’s coaching has really rubbed off on Conor.
Not enough it seems.
From this to: "Ya woife is in me DMs hey baby!"😂😂😂
Dustin always gets psyched out by Conor even when he’s being cordial lmao
It's not easy coming up against a guy who broke you mentally and then physically in 90 seconds, went ahead and became the biggest thing to come outta the sport
@@grimmywizard it'll either drive dustin to greater heights or drag him back down into the mud we'll see when the fight takes place
* Connor showing growth, maturity, kindness and resepct.
* Khaibib fans who think of themselves of men of faith, people of God - "He humble Connor, mc chicken, mc tapper, he smeesh your boy, fk you fk connor, connor fans cry"
* Me Yeah.... ok guys, great example of your faith.
Khabib really humbled Conor.
I’ve never heard McGregor this nice before
"who has the first question?" He doesn't need to ask that anymore, we all know
Oh Rory😳
Dustin’s hot sauce is INSANE!! Absolutely UNREAL.
felt like a conor interview
I just watch the 3rd press conference and fk me love to see heal Conor back in action nobody like humble conor
Khabib REALLY HUMBLED CONOR i m glad i like this conor✌🏽
He is trying to entice khabib by showing him that he is now respectful and no longer that disrespectful guy. He know khabib hates to get mad and likes opponent who are respectful that he can respect, so this is very tactical by Connor
Who giva fack about Khabib he retire dummy
I’m a Conner fan, but I honestly can’t understand why he feels he deserves the khabib rematch...?
So who’s got the first question? Jesus Christ Dana lol you know who 🤣
Johnny Fatneck!
How about who has a second question from now on?
Conor, who held up the division for over a year and has never had a title defense thinks Khabib should be stripped LMAO
Those are cheap slights and disses He's trying to edge him on in any way he can realistically the rematch won't happen Charles will get the final fight with Khabib I think or GSP at a super fight catch weight
Facts: mcgregor is richer than dana white
Dana: we were never friends
Excited for these top 2 bouts!💪
2 Humble Competitors....gonna be a great fight
Somone became humble now 😂
Watch conor body language change 7:34 when they ask him about the possibility of running into Khabib 👀 I’m starting to think he really doesn’t want the smoke 🤷🏿♂️
''Make him humble, little bit teach him''
Well, it worked
It’s actually really cool watching them be chill with each other it’s weird
I like new McGregor better. He's respectful and helping others
As he decided to return to his old style at ufc 264.
@@AWCTB haha yeah
@@AWCTB yeah that was sad and kinda pathetic
I feel like we should restart the comment section and see what we have to say now......
I'm all about bad blood but this is amazing. A different type of motivation but still motivated. ♥️
