Connor the only person who can interrupt himself 😂
😅

Don't forget Bert Kreisher
Lolololololololok
That was very nice of Conor to let Ariel listen to him talk
😂😂😂
this is sometimes the best way to conduct an interview with such a high profile guy
I love all of my White brothers and sisters.
May God bless us all.

Ariel: *How are you, Conor?*
Conor: **indistinct Irish noises for 15 minutes**
Thank you
Yes, thank you.
Lol
Underrated comment😂
Hahaaaa
Ariel could’ve walked off for some lunch, came back and Conor would still be chatting away to himself 😂

Coke is a hell of a drug 😂
Hahaaa
Ariel was definitely not wearing any pants during this interview.
😂😂😂😂
made me lol 😂😂
i get what u mean
FYI Cokehead McNuggets has 1 win in 8 years
and you have 0 wins in life in general but we don't usually bring that up.@@jchilin

Do you eat after taking a whopper??
"Hoovered"
@@villeahtinen he's eating you don't eat on cocaine like your projecting weird Connor haters like almost gay how obsessed they are in hating you agree ?
He always gives Ariel more time than expected. Can tell he's always appreciated Helwani for giving him some shine before he was a star. Finally the Mac is back.
One thing you can always say about connor, guy is loyal beyond words and never forgets people who help him
I'd say the coke always gives Ariel more time
@@michaelbarjakever done coke boss?
U def ain't stopping to take a bite of food lmao
@@huntsy6257 You know him personally?
@@SpyroTek yeah he gives me massages on his yacht 3x a week
I could see Conor playing the villain in a Guy Ritchie movie
Exactly
Totally agree! I felt he could’ve been in the gentleman.
Oh hell yeah! Along with Tom Hardy and Charlie Hunnam for example. That would be something
Me too
Great shout
Conor looks like a lightweight again
@@XVRKMMAthere is no way you can tell his weight to that degree by the shape of his head 😂
@@barry4649look at his arms, 14 inches, no biceps veins, no definition. Very little muscle on him, you can definitely tell his weight
@@barry4649 when he was bigger he was supposedly around 190-200 so not hard to imagine he's probably around 170 here just from looking at his face, neck and arms. Looks like he's been putting in some cardio rounds

The Schitzo ranting was an absolute delight.
Conor wants those last 2 UFC fights done ASAP, so he can bounce and get a taste of that Saudi or Netflix money💰🥊
UFC may go with Netflix soon
@@snyder_fine_artwhat do you reckon ufc does with the espn plus deal considering they get a lot of money and also are promoted on that same level as other major sports?
Good coke is expensive.

Oh ya for sure bro
But on the coke. He does not stop talking.
Wednesday is his off day.

Lmaoooo
What stands out is the way Connor is remembering his beginnings and gave this interview to someone he remembers helped him early on.
Kudos Connor.
I think as time goes by we’ll see more Connor giving back as he matures as an individual.
Also,
He sticks with long term relationships which is another trait of a decent individual.
He’s battling a severe drug addiction lately. Thats why Dana said he’s not coming back anytime soon.
@@ryanb8736 doubt it
He's giving interviews all over the place for promotion...
Conor is the only one that Ariel doesn’t need to ask about salary/income 😂
coz he knows he's rich?
@@ItsameAlexexactly
@@ItsameAlex no, because he knows conor loves to brag before he even gets to ask
Why? Does he get extra Bonus from Dana or something?
I knew he wouldn’t come to NYC without talking to Ariel!
Loyal man
It’s a video call interview, WTH you talkin bout
J's be J'ing
Dude came to NYC and still didn’t meet up with Ariel in person
think you missed the joke mate@@samipatel7118
Yall catch how conor said "if you're taking substance, while you're training" lol sneaky sneaky
He had medical exception due to leg break. Can't fault him for using it for all it's potential and getting yoked lol.
People forget Conor is 35 now -- age changes people. Im 35 and im much different then I was at 25,30. Time. Children. Life. It changes you. I think people are looking too much into how Conor acts and how different he is now.
Real talk! You get it bro
It’s more so the mourning of what could’ve been strictly from a fighter standpoint the Alvarez fight is one of the best performances I’ve ever seen the Aldo one also it’s just such a shame that we never saw what that fighter could go on to achieve
@@RZ6787 conor became the biggest fighter in ufc history first double champ changed the game for everyone.if he never fights again fair play conor you can never hate on what he has down
He is unrecognizable from every angle.
His face has literally changed, he seems to have gotten some kind of Botox around his face and eyebrows. His speech patterns are alarming and reminiscent of somebody on drugs.
Life certainly changes you, but he is totally different from just a couple of years ago.
He should formally retire, he is going to get badly hurt if he steps back in the octagon.
Connor dedicated many years in the gym while many of his peers spent those same years partying. Connor made it to a higher level and now is doing the partying that his peers did when he wasn’t there. Can you really hate on that? I mean really??
Zip his jeans up when you’re finished
@@stevethedweeb3846🤡
Lmao conor has been a mad lad his whole life, he partied through his entire career you melt
@@smerchh915nothing passes you mate 👏
Why you acting like working out and working on your career is somehow less fun then going to party
Say what u like about drug use etc.. but that moment he said this is good for me now. I need to tighten up. I feel like that was a glimpse of a vunerable addict finally having his purpose back and has something to keep him on the straight and narrow. Must ve crazy to have no financial limit to a night out cuz its easy enough to make a total arse of things with a few hundred quid friday to sunday.
Honestly you are completely right and it's sad but he's going to have a meteoric crash where he has to hit rock bottom to come back to humility and respect.
well said sir
@MrCaptainTea Yeah, this is heading to the priory and possible huge mistake that he can't cover up. When you don't look in the mirror in life and see realities it makes it even tougher to handle or come back from.
But that’s still worrying he doesn’t have long to clean up and prepare for the fight but if he does and does well in the fight he still doesn’t have long left in his career so what next?
Ariel so efficient and ask best questions in a best ways, thank you
So funny watching Ariel desperately trying to start his question while Connor’s jabbering on without any slight sign of stopping 😂😂
5:28 Even Conor McGregor does what he's told
This made me chuckle thanks
LMFAO
Connor's been doing a lot of interviews but this is the one I was waiting for 🏆
I know it's gone on so long but if he is now set to come back. I'm glad he is thinking in the way of coming back first to 3 rounds. It's harder for him doing 5 rounds & there's really no need to do it for his first fight back. It will make for a better fight from both men & gives Conor a much better chance of winning by the judges if he doesn't ko Chandler. It also, as he says let's him build up to it cos he is so long been out the game. It would be crazy expecting someone out so long to go straight back to 5 rounds. U can prepare for it in training all he likes but it's completely different on the nite cos Ur energy can go quicker cos of Ur adrenaline for the big night
Cocaine is a hell of a drug 😂 Conor cant stop tweaking out Ariel couldn’t get a word in 😂
HAHAHA
So true.
If you think this one's bad, watch the one where there in person in a pub.
Ye little bunch of Fanny’s, he ain’t on drugs, all Irish talk fast 😂
@@Essex007he's off his brains
This seems the most genuine promise of McGregor coming back since forever.I hope to see him back 🙏 🙌🏼
he can yap all he wants, at the end of the day, daddy dana is gonna keep him as a pet like the little twerp he is yee
Casual omg😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How did you arrive there?
It's usually a casual using the word casual 👍
Glad he’s being sensible leaning towards 3 rounds. Sounds like he’s really planning to come back with a plan and thought out approach!
He literally said exactly the same thing to Ariel in March 2023. He’s not fighting anyone any time soon.
17:25 i couldn’t understand a word at first😂😂
ARIEL TRIED SO HARD TO STIR THE POT😂😂😂😂
Trust me!!
Weasel
He is that friend who gets you either beat up or fired.

Funny😂

Lolololololol. Mr white. Lolololol
nuh uh... he has ADHD.... lol
😂
What a time to be an MMA-Fan 🙏🏽
All the years of watching Connor's interviews ive never ever seen him lose his train of thought untill today
Dude this is exactly what I was thinking. Not sure about what everyone else speaking to but Connor losing his train of thought is was caught my attention. Like he said “I’m not sure if I need a nap because of nervousness”. Anxiety can be a menacing disposition.
the first 10 minutes is painful to listen to. What the hell is he talking about. I'll continue
lol he’s losing his mind
are you drunk

I've just seen this comment.. I'm 3.44 in.. it's rough going. I know everyone goes on about the coke but he can't be on it every time he's on camera.. he's on camera a lot. There has to be something going on with him.. doubt it's CTE because he's not taken a ton of damage.. relative to other fighters. Maybe it's just a bad combination of coke, pills, booze, stress, punches to the head, deteriorating ego etc. I for one will be glad when he retires
How many “Conor announces his return” video have we seen in the last 3 years
17
its not on connor its on the UFC hes wanted return for awhile they wont book him
@@MakoCS2 Right, I’m sure he’s wanted to come back. I think he says he’s returning every 5-7 months because he wants some more attention because people realized how unimportant he is. He’s like the little kid at the playground who pulls out his weewee because he wants everyone to pay attention to him.
to say connor mcgreggor is unimportant is straight disrespectful to what he has done im not a fan of his actions but im a fan of him as a fighter i think his road to title will never be replicated and what he did for the UFC he should not be treated how he his they are shelving him to try and drag out his publicity cause his contract ends in 2 fights they did same thing with nate@@jackapples1
@@jackapples1 Say that again when his next ppv hits the top 10 of highest sold ppvs again
Appreciate this guy while he’s still around. We will miss him when he’s gone. Bravo Conor, we love you x
Chill out bro
He's been gone for a long time. The Conor most enjoyed disappeared in the lead up to the Khabib fight
I've always been a fan of Connor - but I'm finding him hard to follow here - It's like he's answering questions that weren't asked.
Make Conors Eyebrows Great Again
Most underrated comment.
Yeah his eyebrows look insane now 😂
Botox
Cosmetic eye lift surgery
Made that way to make him look happier and more alive
Ariel looks intoxicated when McGregor talks 😂 A lot of it's been cut from the live airing of this video, but 8:37 is just an example. Guy's face was like that throughout 😂
Lmao I went back to your timestamp and just cracked up looking at ariel dumb face lol
Gooning
haha true but remember that Ariel for sure hit Conor up 1000 times "please do my show, PLEAASE CONOR PLEASE"
Looks high as a kite😂

Good to see Conor off the gear and looking clean and healthy.
The admiration Nate and Conor have for each other is lowkey one of my favourite friendships? In the sports..
This 👍🏼
Agreed they remind me of gatti and ward. Destined to fight each other and later become friends
Lowkey?!? You speak English about as good as Conner.
If Conor had admiration and respect for Nate, he’d grant him the rematch he promised him many years ago.
@@willhendrickson972clearly you’ve not been keeping up to date mate. Conor doesn’t have the power to “grant” fights anymore, he can’t even get a fight never mind put one together.
Conor be on that De La Hoya/García secret dust 😂
Time passes, none of us get younger with age.. McGregor should close the circle with a return match against the opponent who gave him the big lift to the stars, a 3 round Rematch against Jose´ Aldo -what a fight that would have been for the UFC 300 🤩
Ariel Smelwani doin it again!!! with the Irish King! Thx for this! & for Everything!
Why's Ariel made himself the center of attention on the thumbnail😂
They’re both on it and Ariel is the interviewer and host

Ate you serious??? He's off his face on drugs answering questions he wasn't asked ffs , no wonder Dana won't organise a fight for him
@@topperharley54You weirdos just like throwing around the drug accusations, he looks better in these interviews than he has in years. Danas not booking fights to try and keep him in his contract. Dont comment on something you literally dont have a clue about
It would never be said to his face. He's genuinely a good person. Quit hating this man. He deserves better. Probably the main reason most of you are watching MMA today
This is sober Connor. The one we like.

"Wet me beak".

That had me crying laughing too. If i could wet me beak like conor does, id be at the point of no return. The life he has wow. What an amazing inspiring story. Much props to conor. He visualized it and made it happen #lawofattraction #thesecret RIP Patrick Swayze! Im sure he would be proud of the remake. Great interview Ariel

Ariel should’ve brought up more of Diaz vs Masvidal 2 in boxing and Connor opinion on that etc lol
Conor admitting to needing a 3 round tune up aka co-main event is wild. It’s smart..but wild to hear.
He’s at a disadvantage for being so popular tbf because anyone else wouldn’t go straight into a headline fight unless it’s a champion but a champion wouldn’t be out for 4 years.
Wish he realized that earlier instead of jumping essentially straight into that first Dustin rematch.
So freaking wild to hear. But I love it.

Soo wild to hear conor not being main event would be a mistake mcgregor jus needs a tune up before chandler
You’ll do what your told Ariel
Be original
@@RawDogTV make me
Almost sounds like Jones with needing a fight to focus on or he gets distracted/gets restless and into trouble. Makes you wonder how many fighters struggle with the same thing.
Volk said the same thing
How about a TKO Board seat in exchange for a handful of fights and becoming a part of the UFC's promotion machine, especially as it relates to building out Saudi and scaling western Europe.
Conor about nate : i was a fan of the man!
Me : YOU WAS A FAN BOY!! A LITTLE FAN BOY!!! hahahaha love conor and nate
Someone should tell Conor that you can get Amazon Prime without the Amazon Prime :) We don't have Prime or Amazon in Norway, but we can get Prime video, we just don't get the prime shipping benefit that comes with it. Would be same for Ireland.
Hard to watch a movie when you can tell they’re ACTING! Wanted to LOVE it, ended up going back to the original. Now that’s a film! #Chickendick
I think Conor with this hat should be a character option in the new ufc game
to anyone who hasnt done drugs here is what happened - just before conor came online he did a line of cocaine. so for the first few minutes he was still sobor and then the cocaine hit the system and he started feeling it. thats why he was quite sobor and normal at first
You can see it in his eyes
His on the bags
Seen someone makes him eat something towards the end to make it look like he’s not on anything and he gives them a wink after he does it 😂
Lol cocaine takes effect within a minute or less of doing a decent like 😂
Dude is tweaking hard
His subtle jaw swings are hard to miss 😂
