Interviewer: Who are you rooting for LSU or Clemson?
Connor: I like tigers
This man really asked conor an american college football question im so dead
So embarrassing to watch
Inigo ikr like Conor couldn’t give two shits 💀
sivan ferna or maybe he likes promotion for proper 12?? 🤷🏽♂️
@@Madferit91 not all, maybe half
Completely appropriate question framed perfectly with the mentioning of his tiger tattoo. It was the pregame show at the venue for the Championship after all. It'd be weird for him to not mention something
The old Connor would’ve been like “who da fookk are those teams”
This comment is gold.
Salty96 *Conor
Haah
He absolutely had no idea which teams the interviewer was on about😂😂😂."Ummm, yes tiger cool animal,grrrr."
😂
Hahahaha dead 😂
Hahaha
@Luke i think the heard him perfectly and that was the problem
Lol
Who’s here from embedded when Conor said “I didn’t know the difference between the teams so I said I wish them well.”😂😂😂
Ryan Salyer yes bro
he is not watching that game lol
Too focused huh
Love Armstrong too lame lol
Lol, i doubt he will
Haha Nfl is lame huh
Most Irish don’t care about American football
The awkward smile at the end 😂
He's doing the Jorge Masvidal thing.
Chris Ratcliffe Jorge masvidal branded smile lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He said 😬
@I know I’m gay when I say this but Literally all his clips end like that, go is it Jorge Masvidal's channel
2:58 that tiny smile he makes at the end instead of responding is gold
Reminds me of colby lol
Mk ultra lol
@@DeMarvelous_DeChosen probably where he got it from😂
Lol that’s cringy af what do you mean😂😂😂
He said 😁
this dude became so positive, it’s scaring me. deadly.
Gay
He always been positive, except trash talking.
@@yourboss8340 no u
Boo
Conor is great!!
I like how Conor seems like he's more spiritually centered!
I seen him on embedded doing the praying signal... I've never seen him do anything like that before
I believe that what we are witnessing is the real Conor as apposed to his past antics which I have to admit was significantly more entertaining....wouldn't y'all agree?
Scott Losey agreed
Khabib humbled him of course.
Bugatti bro stfu 😂😂 you so corny
I see Conor I click
Hisoka Morow I’m a simple man
Gay
Whip Lash why are you here if you hate mcgregor plz answer this
Whip Lash lol but you’re here
Whip Lash yet but you also clicked 😂 what’s this the10th 11th ? Conor video you’ve watched in the last hour 😂 don’t be ashamed 😂 just admit it to yourself and enjoy like the rest of us lol
Who agrees that conor didn't even know about the teams 😂
Pranto Barua there’s an interview where at the end he said he didn’t even know who was playing lol
he said it in the embedded series
When he said football he meant soccer 😂😂😂 and then the guy ask him about college football
I know right, obviously he follows football more than eggball but u can't help americans :D
@@Luka99 Any person who hates American Football shouldn't even be considered a man.
@@dionr1168 American eggball is just a bad copy of rugby so stfu.
@@dionr1168 football is trash
Domagoj Kersun rugby is trash
1:58 Conor: “God forbid I come out safe.”
Donald: “Amen!”
0:00 vs 0:05 when mom says smile for the camera
The Colby smile to finish the interview 😂
Through in that Covington smile at the end lol 😬😁😂
Steven Paul 😂😂😂😂
I saw this comment then the smile 😂
That awkward smile in the end though
"Your head will clatter off the canvas Reeses pieces"
Someone’s gonna make that smirk at the end there instagram profile picture
I gotchu
Their
Lol the way he turned on his smile 😆
“God forbid I come out safe” 1:57
*god God God forbid
It was a slip of a toungue he meant to say God forbid I dont come out safe
Buttered
What he said is acceptable.
He asked God to forbid and he come out safe
God forbid, I come out safe
Embedded fans know why he didn’t choose a team🤣
@Marcus Marcus because he had no idea who they were.
He’s so quick of the cuff, tbh he’s not watching that game😂
wheter you like him or not, you will miss him when he’s gone.
fact
I promise you I won't.. fact
The other fighters will definitely miss him, he paved the way for higher fighter purses in the UFC and hes continuing to push the boundary.
@@azz1906 maybe they would be thankful but they won't miss him. Superstars like masvidal will continue to rise with or without connor I garuntee it. Thankful would be a better word then miss
@@kevincharles1983 Masvidal isnt even close to Conor's star power and I highly doubt anyone in MMA will ever reach the star power that Conor did. Conor drew many new eyes to the sport and was/is one of the biggest stars in combat sports period. The way he talked the public into watching a 0-0 boxer taking on possibly TBE boxer will never happen again. He holds 2 of the top few PPV buyrates of all time, including boxing.
The only man I see getting remotely close is Israel and that's only if he continues winning in exciting fashion. His trash talk isnt as witty as Conor's. As soon as Conor retires, fighter pay increase grinds to a halt. They will miss him.
@@azz1906 I never said he was at that level and he probably doesn't want that type of Fame but if he keeps winning he'll get to where he wants to be. Money isn't everything and it changed connor for the worse. Hopefully he has refocused on his love for the sport and leave all the nonsense behind him. And the floyd fight was purely a cash grab. He didn't get that fight because of his talent, trust me. UFC will be and has been just fine without connor. All that said I do hope he regains his passion so we can all watch him display his talent, not his ego
SOUTH CAROLINA CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THA GOAT
GOAT of What??
Never defending?
Tapping out?
@@southpaw7738 He wants to fight everybody and comes to fight, There is a reason why people love Conor...
HE'S BOX OFFICE BROTHER
@@southpaw7738 hes a goat of tap. Wonder why he didnt fought with justin or dustin that would've been a fantastic fight
Kako Mohammed don’t be bothered about him he’s just a boomer boxer fan who’s jealous.
Cowboy is a stepping stone for Conor at this point. Cerrone was the biggest named fighter who’d be an easy fight for McGregor.
A Initiate hahahaha
There is no easy fights, you think fighting is easy go give it a shot
Jordan Snyder For Conor it’s an easy fight. Cowboy is way past his prime.
@@RobbieStacks90 lol these r getting very funny 😂
@@RobbieStacks90 I'll fight you where you live?
Asking Conor about American Football...*dead*
Saturday is a million years away
CONNOR LETS GO!!!! HIS OVER CONFIDENCE IS WHY I LIKE HIM
He lost to Khabib and a 40 year old boxer
fearmkultra both undefeated and connor is the only fighter to win a round vs khabib casual he is going to knock cowboy out on Saturday
AND PUTTING EVERYTHING IN CAPS SURE LETS US ALL KNOW THAT!
JSweaTz_- a McTapper nut hugger calling someone else a casual that’s fuckin rich 😂
Khabib and Floyd DOMINATED HIM
“I must humble him” khabib. He did it
First time I thought about this. You're right! Khabib is exactly what Conor needed.
Let's rasal
khabib created a monster is what he did.
Tarrorize we didn’t see anything he was the hammer let’s see how he deals with adversity
I genuinely enjoy his interviews I think he’s hilarious. 😂
External Shockwav3
He's always been hilarious
WHO don't enjoy his interviews
Hate him or love him, this man got me into the sport
What’s with that smile he does at the end 🤣
Robbie Compson you see it in embedded. He says I don’t know either team and starts laughing.
“ I want to take this moment, to Apologize to ABSOLUTELY EVERbody”
-Conor McGregor
For Always tapping out
BoxersDontTapp tapped out twice, your favorite fighter wouldnt escape the submissions either. And you yourself ESPECIALLY wouldn’t.
@@threezus912 tapped out 4 times
Rom eo his excluding times when Conor was nobody
Your watching CONOR MCGREGOR regardless.. so SHut ur foooking mouth n jus watch the video mate
He just keeps on smiling, makes me smile 😁
That dude being interviewed looked a lot like Conor McGregor.
You're blind
you guys didnt get the joke..
Yea, he looks just like him but more humble
Freakout12344 because he’s changed I suppose lol
After Seen Conor Positive Attitude,
His Haters : Who the fook is that guy🤣🤣🤣😀.
Mctapout
@@Miuranger1 khabib is the most boring rat 😂😂🤣🤣
All thanks to khabib. He really did a good job on him
When is the press conference
The smile at the end was funny. Good luck McGregor.
I can already sense the casuals in these ESPN comments
BuT RoB wEnT 10 RoUnDs WiTh YoEl
Yup all the casuals under estimating Conor
@@AmadeusBrown facts and don't forget the butthurt haters
or the casuals that think hating conor makes them cool. Get a life neckbeard
When Khabib said "I will make him humble" he wasnt kidding haha
He wasn't kidding when he hid his wife under a towel either
Looking pretty jacked see it thru the hoodie I believe he ready to get another W under his record long as some twilight zone surprise hit or grapple don’t happen to him lbs
Good for him he seems like a more humbled fighter now and is taking it more serious hes only gonna get better 🙏🙏
Khabib: “I will make him humble” a year and a half later, we see conor humble
He can run, but he can't hide baby
100 % Right. Can't see his invincible confidence. My opinion Bad for Conor.
@Cody Chasteen So true. No one knew Khabib until he fought Conor. Conor made him famous.
@Cody Chasteen Someone fight for mooney someone for legacy.
It most certainly wasn't Khabib that made him humble though that's for sure.
Interview ends at 2:08
The smirk at the end Just killed me.😌😌
that Colby smile at the end lol
*Funny how everyone is saying everything other than what Conor actually said in the interview* 😂 😂
*Regardless he looks focused and good*
I feel like when he said football season he meant soccer
Yeah defenitly
When is the presser between the 2?
Man conors every interview is so so funny.espexially the hard questions he's asked make him be like ,e e erm
Did he just say he’s twirty one years of age
Conor “what the fook is football” McGregor
He knows what football is, Americans don't, they only know Hand-egg
Subtítulos por favor gracias
That smile at the end has me weak hahahahaha😬
Conor's face after old buddy asked the football question hahahaha last time that doofus interviews the champ champ.
David Durie you idiot I’m pretty sure it was scripted for that question to be asked, it’s the biggest sporting event being covered on that day
The King is back
Zoren Tagab King Of Tapping?
Never defending?
BoxersDontTapp haters gonna hate
@@southpaw7738 boxers hit each other with pillows. You're lying to yourself. Any professional MMA fighter would rip you limb from limb.
@@zorentagab7612 hating when he's stating facts? Nice.
Your king
That smile at the end 😂
there is some benefit to the weight cut when its not extreme. its like a pre fight cleanse. it sharpens focus and lowers inflammation.
Love connor McGregor always connor McGregor is the best in all history 💪🏿👑♥️👑🦁
The Irish are back!...then they left a couple years but now they are back!
When you have 30 more seconds left, but have no more questions
@1:55 he says "god forbid I come out safe" haha wow
“God forbid I come out safe”
He getting injured this fight
What?
THREEZUS @1:57
😂
Was thinking the same thing. God willing*
I hope not Conor like the Michael Jordan of ufc I forgot how entertaining he was I didn’t like him when he was fighting kahbib but now I wanna see him beat up khabib
THE IRISH ARE COMING 🇨🇮
Donovin Dale coming to see him lose
Irish Got Beat Up By Russians At UFC 229
Donovin Dale ok that’s just the Ivory Coast flag
Donovin Dale Ivory Coast flag there buddy
@@southpaw7738 FACTS
Conor smile looks so innocent
He said “god forbid I come out safe” 🤦🏻♂️😂
@G L O C K Ah ok if its an irish thing.
I thought he meant to say god willing but messed up his words.
Cause he feels that he’s a trash and wants to prove something
Team McGregor 💪🏽
smashed by team khabib
He’s washed up
Jeez, these casuals who knew nothing of khabib before the drama with McGregor started are more obsessed with McGregor than khabib. Give it a rest sheesh.
@The Wave so have many other great fighters, I don't see u trashing on Dustin, be real.
@The Wave khabibs cousin was one of the three that attacked Conor after he lost to khabib so there is that and khabib was the one mocking Conor for tapping "like chicken" and all of Conor's haters who didn't know and still don't know anything about khabib besides him beating Conor laughed along with him so....
He answered that football question very well
Love this McGregor! Seems much more positive, spiritual, free-flowing and self-aware! 🙏
"To pay off the Irish mob"
If that was the case he would look a lot more stressed out and wouldn’t be enjoying training as much. Sorry to burst your bubble
How unprofessional of these "journalists" to hold an interview like this. Props to Conor for putting up with that background garbage.
that smile at the end tho
How do I watch this fight for free?
Conor gunna sleep that boy 1st round
I agree on that.
Because Cerrone is on a 2 fight tko loss streak
Lol are u good 🤣🤣 u wouldn’t be able to touch Conor
@@rubend176 funniest comment on RUclips
Zenigundam Conor can smell scrubs like you a mile away. You wouldnt even get 10ft near him. Stay in your lane
Zenigundam no ..... no
Conor is also on a 2 fight losing streak.
He is going to be dangerous at 170!!! But he will run into some Killers. Speaking of Tigers Conner’s gonna have one by the tail 🤩 Donald is a wise wise fighter.. What a great matchup .
“God forbid I will get out safe” 😂🤦♂️
this guy wasted a interview with conor
KING!!!!!!!!!🇮🇪👊🏻👏🏻🦍🐐🔥👑👑
That smile in the beginning😂👌❤️
He looks humble that's good.
Real answer: Because you are scared of Gaethje
Why, when Gaethje was knocked out by two fighters Conor beat handily?
If that was the formula for predicting the results of MMA fights.... we would all be millionaires
Doubt that.
@@samseptember6404 welp it doesn't look good for Gaethje either way, if they were able to KO him. And Conor KOd them, that means Conors hands will be nukes to Gaethje
@@samseptember6404 you know how often Justin gets hit a minute right
Look it up
He'd be dead on the floor within 3 minutes
" I need fookin Mooney, that's why I'm back"
He opened up a very successful whiskey company, he is not hurting
That smile at 2:59 is like a 8 year old on picture day
Thank you Connor for beIN humble and respectful. Looking forward to the fight. Good luck!
Khabib humbled McGregor
He got sloppy got to high
Khabib sniffed Conor’s crotch for four rounds
He bored everyone including McGregor
Humping your opponent into submission isn't making anyone humble.
@@brendenwoolums7474 Go watch boxing then
Did he just say he’s 21
he said 31
CaliGreatness 31
😂😂😂😂😂
I thought Ariel Helwani was going to comment on that smile at the end.
2:00 God forbid he comes out safe 😂😂
Nicely observed
Washed up dude.
How is he washed up
lol they why are you here?
Principal Skinner he’s in his physical prime you dope
@@connormuckerman8101 his career is washed, not his age you dope.
You never had a career your washed since birth
THE IRISH 🇮🇪 ARE BACK
People ain't ready for a calm respectful conor
The kinda impact he’s made just by coming back, I went running in the snow at 2am 💯
gay
The only reason he´s fighting: no more money...
You cant be serious
Conor likes to fight. Realistically, he could’ve never even fought Khabib and stayed set for life.
I’ve never seen his bank account, but I can assure you the man is flourishing financial wise.
Seems like someone’s had some proper 12
He made an easy 100 million just with mayweather, trust me he’s alright with money 🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣
Conor looks like a Red Dead Redemption character
Haha that smile in the end :)
