1
00:00:11,886 --> 00:00:15,640
Oh, this is clicking.
It's, like, literally clicking.
2
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,309
Like, move it
and it'll go click or something.
3
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:21,980
Dunno, feels a bit broke, to be honest.
4
00:00:23,106 --> 00:00:24,607
Can you move it?
5
00:00:26,151 --> 00:00:28,111
It's banged up, like.
6
00:00:28,111 --> 00:00:29,320
It's banged up.
7
00:00:35,493 --> 00:00:37,912
A hand injury's always difficult.
8
00:00:37,912 --> 00:00:40,040
{\an8}It's an injury to the joint,
9
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,752
{\an8}and it's actually worse
than a fracture,
10
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:46,337
in that it's going to
take more time.
11
00:00:46,337 --> 00:00:49,132
It's gonna require an operation,
12
00:00:49,132 --> 00:00:51,509
and we're looking at
some time off training,
13
00:00:51,509 --> 00:00:53,887
something in the region of 12 weeks.
14
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:56,306
- Twelve?!
- Twelve.
15
00:00:58,183 --> 00:01:01,436
How does a guy who's
so concerned with putting work in,
16
00:01:01,436 --> 00:01:04,606
how does he cope with rehabilitation
and time on the sideline?
17
00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:07,984
I'm fight-- to be honest,
I'm probably fighting depression daily.
18
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:11,738
I'm fighting myself,
know what I mean?
19
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:13,907
'Cause you are fighting yourself.
There is no--
20
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:16,951
there is no opponent, you know
what I mean? It's you versus you.
21
00:01:16,951 --> 00:01:20,205
For an athlete, for a guy like me,
you know, if I can't train,
22
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:23,833
or if I have nothing to work towards,
it's tough, but,
23
00:01:23,833 --> 00:01:26,836
I need to be strong, 'cause other people
have came back and conquered it,
24
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:28,546
so that's what I plan on doing.
25
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:33,468
I always had that belief that in my head,
that I was gonna return.
26
00:01:33,468 --> 00:01:37,138
And not only return, return better than
anybody has ever returned before.
27
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,574
You're gonna have to
be very careful with it.
28
00:01:56,574 --> 00:01:59,119
And I was even thinking
of maybe holding it like this.
29
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,829
Yeah.
30
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:03,289
At least then I got none
coming back on the thumb,
31
00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:06,751
whereas this way, there's always
the risk I'm gonna come on the thumb
32
00:02:06,751 --> 00:02:07,919
if I get a bit tired.
33
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:09,838
You're not training to be a rower,
34
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:12,465
{\an8}you're just trying to workout
out of the thing.
35
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,175
{\an8}If you want that, that's...
36
00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:17,428
{\an8} Conor, he's not a guy
that'll sit around doing nothing,
37
00:02:17,428 --> 00:02:19,389
even if you tell him to.
38
00:02:19,389 --> 00:02:22,976
So, pretty much straight after
he got back out of the hospital,
39
00:02:22,976 --> 00:02:25,854
straight down to the gym,
straight back training.
40
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:28,398
- How's the hand feeling, Conor?
- It's all right.
41
00:02:28,398 --> 00:02:30,942
It's not bad. Still yelps me.
42
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:32,861
Had a rough week.
43
00:02:32,861 --> 00:02:35,530
Did a week where it got,
like, infected.
44
00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:39,409
Antibiotics and fuckin'...
It was a bleedin' heavy week, it was.
45
00:02:39,409 --> 00:02:42,120
Like I dipped down badly,
know what I mean?
46
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,455
Like, you have it
and then you just lose it,
47
00:02:44,455 --> 00:02:46,457
and then you just have
to fight to get it back.
48
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:50,295
Conor can be up and down
and it's just a question of reading him.
49
00:02:50,295 --> 00:02:53,339
- So sometimes you have to hold him back
50
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:57,010
or he'll stay there too long,
or do too much.
51
00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:03,308
This is a nuisance, everything.
52
00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:06,895
A lame paw. It's like a lion
without a paw, know what I mean?
53
00:03:07,562 --> 00:03:09,814
It's been a fuckin' rough
couple of bleedin'--
54
00:03:09,814 --> 00:03:12,734
In my headspace,
dunno what's gonna happen.
55
00:03:17,614 --> 00:03:20,992
How much of your game
do you think is mental versus physical?
56
00:03:20,992 --> 00:03:23,161
It's probably 100% mental, I believe--
57
00:03:23,161 --> 00:03:26,581
People say it's 90% mental,
10% physical,
58
00:03:26,581 --> 00:03:28,416
I just think it's 100% mental.
59
00:03:28,416 --> 00:03:30,293
I think everything is an illusion,
you know,
60
00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:33,671
the mind is what creates
these things, you know, it's just--
61
00:03:33,671 --> 00:03:35,965
The mind is a powerful thing,
62
00:03:35,965 --> 00:03:37,967
and I'm only learning that,
I'm growing at that,
63
00:03:37,967 --> 00:03:40,220
and I mean,
so what's to stop me?
64
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,351
When I was a kid,
I realized I was getting these nerves.
65
00:03:46,351 --> 00:03:49,187
I'd sit back and I'd be analyzing
those emotions I had
66
00:03:49,187 --> 00:03:52,190
and saying,
they're a weird emotion I just had,
67
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:55,443
and ultimately,
that was what drove me to combat sport.
68
00:03:55,443 --> 00:03:57,946
To be able to manage those emotions.
69
00:03:57,946 --> 00:03:59,405
That was when I first got into it.
70
00:03:59,405 --> 00:04:01,866
So every time I'd go to a boxing gym,
71
00:04:01,866 --> 00:04:04,786
I would feel them butterflies
that I felt that time,
72
00:04:04,786 --> 00:04:08,206
and I'd be thinking,
"yes, now I'm getting more comfortable."
73
00:04:08,206 --> 00:04:09,749
Now I'm feeling these feelings more.
74
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:12,335
The more I feel them,
the more I'm gonna be comfortable in them.
75
00:04:12,335 --> 00:04:14,504
That's why I will always
search for that feeling.
76
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:18,716
Now I'm fucking fighting in the MGM Grand,
and I don't give a shit, know what I mean?
77
00:04:22,136 --> 00:04:25,848
You know, that showed me
that the mind is a powerful thing.
78
00:04:33,064 --> 00:04:35,775
Croia Mairead, I baptize you
79
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:38,528
- in the name of the Father...
- Good girl.
80
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,238
...and of the Son,
81
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:43,658
and of the Holy Spirit.
82
00:04:44,701 --> 00:04:46,452
Amen.
83
00:04:46,452 --> 00:04:49,205
- Yeah!
84
00:04:49,205 --> 00:04:51,165
Good girl, good girl.
85
00:04:57,630 --> 00:05:00,174
Now, little girl, this is all for you.
86
00:05:00,174 --> 00:05:02,885
This is all for you, little girl.
87
00:05:06,055 --> 00:05:08,975
So what happened was, I'd done it,
had two wires put in it.
88
00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:13,104
{\an8}It was taken out the cast
after five days, it was too soon.
89
00:05:13,104 --> 00:05:15,398
{\an8}Then I was shadow boxing again
and moved it,
90
00:05:15,398 --> 00:05:18,818
and then the wires came loose.
So I had to go again.
91
00:05:18,818 --> 00:05:21,696
It's not bad, though.
It's getting-- it just takes time.
92
00:05:24,282 --> 00:05:27,452
{\an8} Conor was almost like
this beacon of good health.
93
00:05:28,369 --> 00:05:30,121
{\an8}So him injuring his hand
94
00:05:30,121 --> 00:05:32,415
{\an8}was like a rare sign of vulnerability
95
00:05:32,415 --> 00:05:34,917
that this guy is, like,
actually kind of human.
96
00:05:36,085 --> 00:05:38,629
Around that period, I had heard
97
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:41,758
that there was talk
of booking him a fight
98
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:44,635
and I believe
the hand injury screwed it up.
99
00:05:47,221 --> 00:05:50,099
People were talking
about when can he go fight again.
100
00:05:58,232 --> 00:06:00,526
I was in great shape
before I broke the hand.
101
00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:02,904
Like, really, good shape,
like fight shape.
102
00:06:02,904 --> 00:06:06,074
I done a couple solid rounds
the other day with 18 ounce gloves.
103
00:06:06,074 --> 00:06:07,950
- Brand new, I felt. So--
- Queally?
104
00:06:07,950 --> 00:06:10,536
With Queally.
I'm not bad, like fitness-wise.
105
00:06:10,536 --> 00:06:12,747
But when there's a crowd and everything,
then it makes it...
106
00:06:12,747 --> 00:06:14,999
Know what I mean?
That's what I want, that's what I need,
107
00:06:14,999 --> 00:06:17,835
to get the feet wet,
know what I mean?
108
00:06:17,835 --> 00:06:19,337
Are you announcing a fight?
109
00:06:19,337 --> 00:06:22,215
No, I'm not announcing, but I'd love
to fuckin' announce a fight.
110
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:23,841
I don't know what way to play.
111
00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:25,802
Let's suss it out.
112
00:06:25,802 --> 00:06:28,346
Let's have a couple of days,
I need to suss it out.
113
00:06:28,346 --> 00:06:31,140
I'd almost like to do a December one,
like for charity or something.
114
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:34,310
If they're not giving me
that tune-up fight I wanted.
115
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:36,646
I don't care, necessarily,
about the money or anything like that.
116
00:06:36,646 --> 00:06:39,148
That's the excuse
for the Frankie thing.
117
00:06:39,148 --> 00:06:40,650
It's a bigger picture thing.
118
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:42,235
I want it up for a season.
119
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:43,861
I wanna come back,
I wanna fight Frankie,
120
00:06:43,861 --> 00:06:46,364
then I wanna fight,
fucking, whoever,
121
00:06:46,364 --> 00:06:50,243
like, early next-- 2020,
then continue with, like, a season.
122
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:51,869
The way I've fuckin' always done it
123
00:06:51,869 --> 00:06:54,455
before the bleedin' politics
of the prize got involved.
124
00:06:54,455 --> 00:06:56,749
D'you know what I mean?
125
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:58,918
Let's see what happens anyway.
126
00:07:00,169 --> 00:07:02,505
Three, two, one, go.
127
00:07:04,549 --> 00:07:08,010
{\an8} The way we take every Conor fight
is that you let the fight happen,
128
00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:10,221
you let the division play out,
129
00:07:10,221 --> 00:07:12,223
then as it gets closer for
Conor to fight,
130
00:07:12,223 --> 00:07:14,183
you see what the landscape looks like.
131
00:07:15,643 --> 00:07:17,728
But you know,
we look at what could screw up
132
00:07:17,728 --> 00:07:19,730
making the fights that we wanna make.
133
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:22,608
Injuries, contract negotiations,
134
00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:24,610
and fame.
135
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,406
You get to a certain point
136
00:07:28,406 --> 00:07:29,991
where you've made a bunch of money.
137
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:32,285
Now you've got other
business opportunities
138
00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:34,662
that compete with fighting.
139
00:07:34,662 --> 00:07:37,457
And, you know, there's always something
140
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:40,334
interesting and new going on with Conor.
141
00:07:47,216 --> 00:07:49,844
It doesn't matter
where you go in the world,
142
00:07:49,844 --> 00:07:52,180
everybody has heard of Conor McGregor.
143
00:07:53,431 --> 00:07:57,268
Conor is one of the biggest stars
ever in the history of the sport,
144
00:07:57,268 --> 00:08:01,272
and he's the guy who helped
truly take the sport global.
145
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:08,988
To be a sex symbol...
146
00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:11,157
Sex symbol?
147
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:13,284
It's about you.
148
00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:16,621
Conor McGregor here, everybody!
149
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,460
It's unbelievable
actually to see you, really, here.
150
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:24,545
Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
151
00:08:24,545 --> 00:08:26,047
Like, it's really you!
152
00:08:26,047 --> 00:08:29,050
If anything bad goes wrong,
it was a clone, you know what I'm saying?
153
00:08:30,968 --> 00:08:34,180
Now, you're very so kind, so calm.
154
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:35,890
What is your true face?
155
00:08:35,890 --> 00:08:38,643
My behavior
and my attitude reacts to how...
156
00:08:38,643 --> 00:08:40,478
my surroundings,
you know what I mean?
157
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:42,563
If I'm scheduled to fight a man,
and I know this man is
158
00:08:42,563 --> 00:08:45,316
gearing up to
punch me in the face, and hurt me,
159
00:08:45,316 --> 00:08:47,443
my attitude and behavior is different, so.
160
00:08:47,443 --> 00:08:50,947
Right now, I'm in a relaxed environment,
you know, so,
161
00:08:50,947 --> 00:08:53,824
this is it,
this is my true face, you could say.
162
00:08:53,824 --> 00:08:56,244
What would be your next fight?
163
00:08:56,244 --> 00:08:59,664
We're very, very close to announcing it,
164
00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:03,125
not just yet, but surely over
the course of this trip,
165
00:09:03,125 --> 00:09:06,087
we should have an announcement,
that's what we're aiming for.
166
00:09:06,087 --> 00:09:07,755
- That's it. Thank you so much.
167
00:09:07,755 --> 00:09:10,550
Thank you very much.
Conor will sign the gifts for you now.
168
00:09:11,592 --> 00:09:15,680
{\an8} He can capture the attention
and the imagination of the world.
169
00:09:16,347 --> 00:09:21,018
People are drawn to him
because he's just like this tornado
170
00:09:21,018 --> 00:09:25,773
of charisma, and success,
and enthusiasm, and fun.
171
00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:27,483
You know the fan pages...
172
00:09:27,483 --> 00:09:29,527
Obviously there's
fucking millions of them.
173
00:09:29,527 --> 00:09:32,697
- McGregor face, Notorious Mate.
- Dee Devlin Queen.
174
00:09:32,697 --> 00:09:34,323
- Devlin Queen!
175
00:09:34,323 --> 00:09:37,034
There's bleedin'
millions of them, like.
176
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:41,455
But whatever, we love them, don't we?
177
00:09:41,455 --> 00:09:43,124
So, we're in these fan pages,
178
00:09:43,124 --> 00:09:44,959
we were in Kiev, me and Dee,
179
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:46,586
and came all the way
in the train.
180
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:49,422
- How long she been here?
- Since this morning.
181
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,842
Hello, how are you?
Very good, how are you?
182
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,053
How could you not be inspired?
The way he speaks,
183
00:09:56,053 --> 00:09:58,556
the humble beginnings,
the plumber's apprentice,
184
00:09:58,556 --> 00:10:02,101
and then he becomes the biggest
star in the history of the sport.
185
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:05,896
He just believed it,
and he really willed it into existence.
186
00:10:05,896 --> 00:10:09,150
And so, who can't
live vicariously through that?
187
00:10:13,321 --> 00:10:16,449
In my first ever
mixed martial arts competition,
188
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,618
I was 17 years of age.
189
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:21,287
So 17. You guys are 10, 11, 12.
190
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:24,081
I had not even began training,
and I rose up,
191
00:10:24,081 --> 00:10:26,584
through hard work, through focus,
192
00:10:26,584 --> 00:10:30,004
and became the multiple weight
champion of the UFC.
193
00:10:30,004 --> 00:10:32,548
So you guys,
you have a head start already.
194
00:10:32,548 --> 00:10:35,176
So as long as you stay focused,
the sky is the limit.
195
00:10:35,176 --> 00:10:37,762
So I wish you all the best,
and it's an honor to be here.
196
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:46,145
I remember when
I was in Ireland,
197
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:48,814
there were a bunch of kids
who came by, and I asked them
198
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:50,024
why they liked him so much,
199
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:53,110
and they said that he comes
from where I come from,
200
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:56,906
and he has given us hope
that we can make it in the world.
201
00:10:58,032 --> 00:11:00,368
That's amazing, isn't it?
Jesus Christ, man.
202
00:11:00,868 --> 00:11:03,204
I'm blown away.
Honestly, I'm blown away to see this.
203
00:11:03,204 --> 00:11:04,580
So fair play to you.
204
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:06,957
- It's our future to invest in.
- Exactly.
205
00:11:06,957 --> 00:11:09,126
Invest in the future, yes, no doubt.
206
00:11:09,126 --> 00:11:11,003
Very good, guys, very good.
207
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,632
The thing about Conor is,
208
00:11:14,632 --> 00:11:16,550
you become
emotionally invested in his journey
209
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:19,261
and then he takes you
on this roller coaster ride with him.
210
00:11:19,887 --> 00:11:22,807
He brings this whole movement with him.
211
00:11:22,807 --> 00:11:24,266
And you're seeing this movement,
212
00:11:24,266 --> 00:11:26,519
and you're seeing this connection
that he has with the people.
213
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:29,146
You can't help but fall in love
with the movement as well.
214
00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:33,109
There's just something about him.
This doesn't happen often.
215
00:11:33,109 --> 00:11:35,361
There's, like, something
magnetic about all that.
216
00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:41,951
I'd like to introduce Conor McGregor!
217
00:11:46,705 --> 00:11:49,500
I'm very, very excited to be here
218
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,753
and I have some news for you all,
for the world, here.
219
00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:55,047
I would like to announce to the public,
220
00:11:55,047 --> 00:11:59,927
the return of the notorious Conor McGregor
will take place on January 18th
221
00:11:59,927 --> 00:12:03,013
in the T-Mobile arena
in Las Vegas, Nevada.
222
00:12:03,013 --> 00:12:05,433
Ask the UFC who the authority is,
223
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:07,518
because I do not give a fuck.
224
00:12:07,518 --> 00:12:10,020
I am going to go through the entire roster
225
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:12,231
like a chainsaw through butter,
226
00:12:12,231 --> 00:12:13,732
make no mistake about that.
227
00:12:15,317 --> 00:12:16,819
The return of Conor McGregor.
228
00:12:16,819 --> 00:12:19,572
{\an8}Yes, the notorious one,
he is, in fact, coming back
229
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:23,367
{\an8}on January 18th
against Donald Cerrone. UFC...
230
00:12:23,367 --> 00:12:26,036
{\an8}- Conor and Cowboy.
- Oh, shit!
231
00:12:26,036 --> 00:12:28,080
{\an8}- It's coming up.
- Give the date.
232
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,625
{\an8}- Cowboy Cerrone is the opponent
233
00:12:31,625 --> 00:12:33,669
{\an8}for Conor's first appearance
234
00:12:33,669 --> 00:12:37,089
{\an8}since that UFC 229 loss
to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
235
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:40,342
{\an8}I'm surprised it's Cowboy.
He is a very good fighter,
236
00:12:40,342 --> 00:12:42,803
{\an8}I think people agree with that,
and a legend,
237
00:12:42,803 --> 00:12:45,764
{\an8}he's not on the level
you see McGregor fight, usually.
238
00:12:45,764 --> 00:12:47,766
{\an8}If I'm gonna point out a spot
239
00:12:47,766 --> 00:12:52,021
{\an8}that I think Donald can beat Conor,
it's if he can get him to the ground.
240
00:12:52,021 --> 00:12:54,940
{\an8}McGregor. He hasn't fought
in 12 months in the Octagon,
241
00:12:54,940 --> 00:12:56,859
{\an8}he lost 204 by way of submission...
242
00:12:56,859 --> 00:12:59,904
{\an8}Conor's fast, Conor's tricky. So's Cowboy!
243
00:12:59,904 --> 00:13:02,823
What are your thoughts on
Conor McGregor coming in to this fight?
244
00:13:02,823 --> 00:13:05,284
{\an8}I got a lot more weapons
standing up than he does,
245
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:08,078
{\an8}he's working on everything
he's ready for this fight, as am I.
246
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:14,710
{\an8}- Cerrone will always pose a threat.
- Donald Cerrone!
247
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:17,379
{\an8} He's a veteran of the game.
He grows into the fight.
248
00:13:17,379 --> 00:13:20,216
Wow, and Cerrone
now trying to lock up the arm
249
00:13:20,216 --> 00:13:22,051
and go for submission victory.
250
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:23,552
That's it!
251
00:13:23,552 --> 00:13:25,846
He's tough as nails
very skillful,
252
00:13:25,846 --> 00:13:28,182
he has nice set ups,
and tricks, stuff like that.
253
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:31,977
{\an8}- That's it! It's over.
- Head-kick knockout.
254
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:33,437
{\an8} The man is solid everywhere.
255
00:13:33,437 --> 00:13:35,481
{\an8}Very good off his back,
with his triangle game.
256
00:13:35,481 --> 00:13:37,525
On the feet, very slick kickboxer.
257
00:13:37,525 --> 00:13:38,484
Oh!
258
00:13:38,484 --> 00:13:40,569
And let's not forget all
the great wins he had
259
00:13:40,569 --> 00:13:42,988
against plenty of
top level competition.
260
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,449
Oh, my goodness!
261
00:13:45,449 --> 00:13:48,035
Vicious head-kick by Cowboy.
262
00:13:48,035 --> 00:13:51,038
He's a winner.
He's got a winner's mentality.
263
00:13:51,038 --> 00:13:53,499
The all-time leader in wins!
264
00:14:06,387 --> 00:14:10,057
Well, it was a rest day.
I let off the gas a little bit.
265
00:14:10,057 --> 00:14:11,976
I kinda just, after rest,
266
00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:16,146
I let me food go a little bit,
stayed up a little later,
267
00:14:16,146 --> 00:14:18,899
those little things, and then
they impacted me the next day,
268
00:14:18,899 --> 00:14:21,277
when I was waking up,
'cause I didn't get much sleep,
269
00:14:21,277 --> 00:14:23,737
and then I'm kinda try to catch it back.
270
00:14:23,737 --> 00:14:27,700
It's after the sessions that I--
If I don't...
271
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,077
If I don't fully commit
after the sessions,
272
00:14:30,077 --> 00:14:33,247
it just impacts everything,
it's just snowballs down.
273
00:14:33,247 --> 00:14:35,875
{\an8}One day puts you back a week.
One day puts you back a week.
274
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,419
{\an8}You know, until the fight,
until the fight--
275
00:14:38,419 --> 00:14:39,837
{\an8}I was saying to the boys,
276
00:14:39,837 --> 00:14:42,089
if I was to say a percentage
of how much I'm all-in,
277
00:14:42,089 --> 00:14:43,299
I'm about 75%.
278
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:44,717
I'm 100% when in the gym,
279
00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:46,844
I'm working as hard as I can possibly go.
280
00:14:47,386 --> 00:14:50,139
But the little touches outside of it,
281
00:14:50,139 --> 00:14:52,016
I'm not as fully committed as I could be.
282
00:14:52,016 --> 00:14:54,435
Now, don't get me wrong,
I'm fucking...
283
00:14:54,435 --> 00:14:57,187
We're 10 weeks out,
I'm gonna up that as well,
284
00:14:57,187 --> 00:14:59,565
as I'm closing in, it doesn't impact me.
285
00:15:04,862 --> 00:15:06,447
Yup, double bag.
286
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,618
Double bag.
287
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:13,412
You know,
Conor's obviously, he's my fighter,
288
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:16,957
{\an8}I coach a fighter. I always felt Conor
was like a kid brother or something,
289
00:15:16,957 --> 00:15:18,792
{\an8}and I just didn't see the point
in him doing any more,
290
00:15:18,792 --> 00:15:22,880
unless he was really up for it,
unless it was really motivating to him.
291
00:15:24,340 --> 00:15:27,051
I wanted it to be
that he's really enjoying it.
292
00:15:27,051 --> 00:15:29,136
Ah, good work.
293
00:15:29,136 --> 00:15:31,722
That's what I've seen
in these last few months.
294
00:15:31,722 --> 00:15:35,142
The smile is back again,
the post-training questions and chats,
295
00:15:35,142 --> 00:15:36,644
and looking at techniques.
296
00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:39,647
All of those things that were
a lot of fun with him on the way up,
297
00:15:39,647 --> 00:15:41,148
I see a return, very strong.
298
00:15:41,148 --> 00:15:44,401
- Up! Again! Up!
299
00:15:46,737 --> 00:15:49,740
Last time,
I was just not committed, simple as.
300
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:54,036
And that led to injuries,
that led to doubt in the mind.
301
00:15:54,036 --> 00:15:57,206
Keep it simple. Know what I mean?
302
00:15:57,206 --> 00:15:59,959
Put in the time,
you'll get the reward back.
303
00:16:00,876 --> 00:16:02,795
{\an8} He's gonna do five-fives,
304
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:05,339
{\an8}kickboxing rounds with takedowns...
305
00:16:05,339 --> 00:16:09,468
{\an8}with all the guys
that are a similar size to Cerrone.
306
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:12,262
And they're all high-level kickboxers
307
00:16:12,262 --> 00:16:14,556
so they're going to be able to
mimic him very well.
308
00:16:14,556 --> 00:16:15,975
Look at the amount of them.
309
00:16:17,059 --> 00:16:19,353
It's a bit over the top now,
310
00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:22,064
- there's only bleedin' a million of them.
311
00:16:22,064 --> 00:16:24,441
I don't need them all,
give me a minute.
312
00:16:25,275 --> 00:16:28,445
He's not preparing
to beat up Donald Cerrone,
313
00:16:28,445 --> 00:16:32,074
he's preparing to give
an exhibition of mixed martial arts.
314
00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:35,119
As opposed to, like,
revenge, and anger,
315
00:16:35,119 --> 00:16:37,538
and aggression,
and wanting to hurt somebody.
316
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:40,207
It's very, very different mindsets.
317
00:16:40,207 --> 00:16:43,085
It's night and day, it's night and day,
and that's what we see a return to here.
318
00:16:43,752 --> 00:16:46,630
He's a very different
athlete since that loss.
319
00:16:46,630 --> 00:16:49,800
{\an8}Part of that's the training
that we've been doing,
320
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,469
that's one part,
but you've gotta want to do it.
321
00:16:52,469 --> 00:16:54,847
He found that want.
322
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:58,392
That's why his mental attitude
323
00:16:58,392 --> 00:17:01,520
and his approach to this,
this time is a whole lot better.
324
00:17:02,896 --> 00:17:04,773
Set a time to train,
train at that time.
325
00:17:04,773 --> 00:17:06,859
Set a time to go to sleep,
go to sleep at that time.
326
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:08,527
Set a time to get up,
get up at that time.
327
00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:11,572
Don't tell yourself you need to
do something and then don't do it.
328
00:17:11,572 --> 00:17:14,158
That's what I was
talking about with Ariel. I said--
329
00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:17,536
I knew in my head,
I was saying, "get up at this time."
330
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:19,371
I got--
I didn't get up at that time.
331
00:17:19,371 --> 00:17:21,665
"Train at this time."
I didn't train at that time.
332
00:17:22,499 --> 00:17:24,793
"Don't eat this." I ate that.
333
00:17:24,793 --> 00:17:26,754
"Don't drink that." I drank it.
334
00:17:26,754 --> 00:17:29,673
And these all just
infiltrate my mental strength.
335
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:31,925
- Just little, kind of, defeats.
- Exactly.
336
00:17:31,925 --> 00:17:35,804
Little defeats instead of wins.
And it just culminates into, "ahhh."
337
00:17:35,804 --> 00:17:37,389
And you just don't wanna be here.
338
00:17:37,389 --> 00:17:39,099
So, I'm just figuring meself out,
339
00:17:39,099 --> 00:17:41,101
like I've never figured meself out before.
340
00:17:42,311 --> 00:17:47,191
{\an8} You go from a camp where there's
a lot of animosity between the two people
341
00:17:47,191 --> 00:17:50,778
into a camp where
it's back doing it for the love of it,
342
00:17:50,778 --> 00:17:53,030
and I always remember from day one,
343
00:17:53,030 --> 00:17:56,241
Conor fights at his best
when he's like that.
344
00:17:59,286 --> 00:18:01,789
In the early days,
when Conor started fighting,
345
00:18:01,789 --> 00:18:04,083
he had no kickboxing, no wrestling,
346
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:07,753
no jujitsu, but he loved to train.
347
00:18:08,504 --> 00:18:10,172
He was always trying to improve.
348
00:18:10,172 --> 00:18:12,841
Always trying to get better technically.
349
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:17,221
And then eventually
he got the call up for Cage Warriors,
350
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:20,182
and, obviously, Conor's results
spoke for themselves,
351
00:18:20,182 --> 00:18:23,811
like all serious, unbelievable KOs, TKOs.
352
00:18:24,812 --> 00:18:27,898
Because he's the most
obsessed person I've ever met
353
00:18:27,898 --> 00:18:29,566
about fighting.
354
00:18:29,566 --> 00:18:32,111
Everything I do
in my life is related to this.
355
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:35,197
I don't do nothing else,
if it's not got to do with fighting.
356
00:18:36,448 --> 00:18:39,743
It's in my head 24/7.
I don't think about nothing else.
357
00:18:40,869 --> 00:18:43,455
{\an8}That's why it's become a career for me,
because I love it.
358
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:45,541
{\an8}I love what I do. It's my life.
359
00:18:45,541 --> 00:18:46,750
Ireland!
360
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:48,085
You know what I mean,
there's two things I've learnt.
361
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:50,087
Number one is that hard work pays off.
362
00:18:50,087 --> 00:18:53,215
And number two is that dreams comes true,
and that's what's happened.
363
00:18:53,841 --> 00:18:56,718
A two division champion.
364
00:18:56,718 --> 00:19:00,764
The notorious Conor...
365
00:19:00,764 --> 00:19:03,851
McGregor!
366
00:19:08,897 --> 00:19:11,024
We are excited to see Conor McGregor
367
00:19:11,024 --> 00:19:12,985
step into the Octagon.
368
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:15,612
This is my UFC debut
369
00:19:15,612 --> 00:19:17,364
and I'm very excited about it.
370
00:19:18,615 --> 00:19:20,701
I'm on an eight-fight win streak, yeah.
371
00:19:20,701 --> 00:19:23,245
Love to make it nine,
but I don't really think about that.
372
00:19:23,245 --> 00:19:26,290
I just don't really think about that,
just keep the head clear.
373
00:19:26,290 --> 00:19:28,959
I picture meself going in there,
and feeling at home.
374
00:19:28,959 --> 00:19:30,919
And here we go.
375
00:19:30,919 --> 00:19:33,380
Quickly taking the center of the Octagon.
376
00:19:33,547 --> 00:19:37,384
Black trunks for Dublin,
Ireland's McGregor.
377
00:19:37,384 --> 00:19:39,178
Look at that uppercut!
378
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,263
- Looking to finish it here!
379
00:19:41,263 --> 00:19:44,558
This is why everyone's been
talking about Conor McGregor!
380
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:48,395
It is all over!
Conor McGregor, another first round win!
381
00:19:48,395 --> 00:19:49,771
Wow!
382
00:19:49,771 --> 00:19:53,233
Dana, 60 Gs, baby!
383
00:19:54,651 --> 00:19:58,530
Someone is
calling out for knockout of the night.
384
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:01,825
- Well done.
- Welcome to the UFC, man.
385
00:20:01,825 --> 00:20:03,368
Thank you very much.
386
00:20:03,368 --> 00:20:05,829
So, there's been a lot of hype,
I guess the hype is real.
387
00:20:05,954 --> 00:20:09,249
{\an8} Even when I met him, he had that
thing you can't put your finger on,
388
00:20:09,249 --> 00:20:12,002
{\an8}but a lot of people
call it the "it factor."
389
00:20:12,002 --> 00:20:14,588
He's got a certain energy to him,
he's exciting,
390
00:20:14,588 --> 00:20:17,341
he's funny, he's witty, he's smart.
391
00:20:17,341 --> 00:20:22,095
I knew right away if this kid could break
into the top five, he'd be a big star.
392
00:20:22,095 --> 00:20:23,472
What was the feeling like?
393
00:20:23,472 --> 00:20:25,891
Describe the emotions
at the end of the fight?
394
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:27,893
To be honest,
I don't know what's going on here.
395
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:29,811
I'm just, after hearing $60,000...
396
00:20:31,271 --> 00:20:33,815
I'm just thinking about what
I'm gonna spend it on.
397
00:20:33,815 --> 00:20:36,235
Just last week
I was collecting the social welfare,
398
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:38,153
you know what I mean?
399
00:20:38,153 --> 00:20:40,739
Now I suppose I'm just gonna
have to tell them to fuck off!
400
00:20:42,616 --> 00:20:44,076
Conor, just one more question.
401
00:20:45,619 --> 00:20:47,537
{\an8} Before Conor's UFC debut,
402
00:20:47,537 --> 00:20:50,832
{\an8}nobody knew what MMA was
in Ireland.
403
00:20:53,627 --> 00:20:55,921
{\an8}It was a very, very small scene
404
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:58,924
but Conor captivated the Irish people.
405
00:21:04,304 --> 00:21:06,431
Why was it so important
to be here tonight?
406
00:21:06,431 --> 00:21:08,976
Support teammates, support teammates.
407
00:21:09,393 --> 00:21:11,478
Are you proud to be, like,
leading the way
408
00:21:11,478 --> 00:21:13,730
for more SBG
and Irish fighters in UFC?
409
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:16,608
Of course I am. You know what I mean,
to give people an opportunity
410
00:21:16,608 --> 00:21:18,527
to come onto the stage,
and to make money,
411
00:21:18,527 --> 00:21:22,239
{\an8}and make a living out of it,
that's something nobody can take from me.
412
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:27,369
- Focus, just calm.
- It's your show. It's your show.
413
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:30,372
I paved the way for this
414
00:21:30,372 --> 00:21:32,499
so I take great pride in this,
415
00:21:32,499 --> 00:21:34,543
and when it's all said and done,
416
00:21:34,543 --> 00:21:36,211
and when I walk away from the game,
417
00:21:36,211 --> 00:21:39,047
and I watch these young kids
coming up that no one's even heard of
418
00:21:39,047 --> 00:21:40,924
at the minute,
that are climbing the ladder,
419
00:21:40,924 --> 00:21:43,302
I can sit back and watch with a smile
420
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:45,262
knowing that I played some part in that.
421
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:49,558
{\an8} We had a great team
even before Conor started fighting,
422
00:21:49,558 --> 00:21:51,810
{\an8}but we never had that belief in ourselves.
423
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:53,312
Let's go, Peter.
424
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:56,773
{\an8} But when Conor came in,
everyone changed their belief in the gym.
425
00:21:56,773 --> 00:21:58,817
We were like, this is our boy,
426
00:21:58,817 --> 00:22:00,861
if he can do it, why can't we do it?
427
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:09,244
{\an8} MMA wouldn't be how
it is today if Conor didn't arrive.
428
00:22:09,244 --> 00:22:12,414
- Especially for Irish MMA.
- Yes! There you go!
429
00:22:13,707 --> 00:22:16,293
We just weren't getting a look in
until Conor came along.
430
00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:18,837
And then that put
the spotlight on the country,
431
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:21,840
and he really kind of
drug Ireland into the scene.
432
00:22:33,643 --> 00:22:37,189
Yes!
433
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:41,109
Fucking delighted,
that's a hardworking man right there.
434
00:22:41,109 --> 00:22:42,486
Understand that.
435
00:22:42,486 --> 00:22:44,279
The work that man puts in.
436
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:46,865
He commits his whole life to it.
437
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:49,284
Fucking proud of him,
swear to God, man.
438
00:22:51,036 --> 00:22:53,580
Before I got here,
we weren't even on the map.
439
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:55,791
Now it's all they seem
to be talking about.
440
00:22:55,791 --> 00:22:58,710
So I will embrace it,
and I will raise the tricolor high,
441
00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:00,420
and I will be proud of it.
442
00:23:07,594 --> 00:23:09,846
- Hello, how are you?
- I'm good. How are you?
443
00:23:09,846 --> 00:23:12,682
I'm good, good, good.
I have some paperwork for you to sign.
444
00:23:12,682 --> 00:23:15,852
Signature and full date right over here.
445
00:23:15,852 --> 00:23:18,021
Right, and one more, 14 up here.
446
00:23:18,021 --> 00:23:22,109
{\an8} Today is check-in day, it's where
he signs the UFC official posters,
447
00:23:22,109 --> 00:23:26,363
{\an8}gets his gear, really sets the tone
for the rest of the week.
448
00:23:26,363 --> 00:23:28,865
{\an8}- How are you? Good to see you.
- Good to see you too.
449
00:23:31,409 --> 00:23:34,496
- How's the week?
- Oh, that's always a little struggle.
450
00:23:34,496 --> 00:23:35,831
- Yeah.
- Yours?
451
00:23:35,831 --> 00:23:38,166
I'm on that. Thank the fucking Lord!
452
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:41,044
- All I know is I'll make it.
- Yeah, good on you.
453
00:23:41,044 --> 00:23:42,879
- True pro.
- Yeah, hop on.
454
00:23:44,381 --> 00:23:48,051
{\an8} There was a ton of pressure
on Conor going into the Cerrone fight.
455
00:23:48,051 --> 00:23:51,012
He was coming off
the disastrous Khabib fight
456
00:23:51,012 --> 00:23:52,806
and there was this long lay-off,
457
00:23:52,806 --> 00:23:56,143
and I think people were starting
to think, if he stumbles here,
458
00:23:56,143 --> 00:23:58,019
the old Conor is no more.
459
00:23:58,562 --> 00:23:59,729
Perfect.
460
00:23:59,729 --> 00:24:01,439
But I think he handled it well.
461
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:04,067
He was calm, he was relaxed.
462
00:24:04,067 --> 00:24:08,572
It just seemed like he was in a very
sort of zen-like state before that fight.
463
00:24:17,664 --> 00:24:19,499
Dear fans in Scandinavia,
464
00:24:19,499 --> 00:24:21,751
UFC 246 is this Saturday,
465
00:24:21,751 --> 00:24:23,503
watch on Viaplayer.
466
00:24:23,503 --> 00:24:26,214
Tune in to see the return
of the notorious one.
467
00:24:26,214 --> 00:24:31,011
Hola. Soy Conor McGregor.
Enjoy UFC 246 aquí en Español.
468
00:24:31,011 --> 00:24:33,263
What are your thoughts
on fighting Cowboy Cerrone?
469
00:24:33,263 --> 00:24:35,390
This is gonna be-- Sorry.
470
00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:38,560
This is going to be a...
very exciting bout for the fans,
471
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,146
and I'm very excited--
I hate this part of it!
472
00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:42,564
I swear to God.
473
00:24:42,564 --> 00:24:44,983
I can't, man. Okay, go again.
474
00:24:45,775 --> 00:24:48,695
You said once
that what defines us
475
00:24:48,695 --> 00:24:51,198
is how well you rise after falling.
476
00:24:51,198 --> 00:24:53,700
Is that quote something
that is still true for you?
477
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:56,620
Yeah, of course. You know,
I've came back-- I came back before
478
00:24:56,620 --> 00:24:58,205
right after the Diaz loss,
479
00:24:58,205 --> 00:25:00,207
and I proved everyone,
I showed everyone,
480
00:25:00,207 --> 00:25:02,959
what a fully focused Conor can do.
481
00:25:02,959 --> 00:25:04,794
It's like sometimes when I get it all,
482
00:25:04,794 --> 00:25:07,130
I have to kinda give it away
for me to want to get it again.
483
00:25:07,422 --> 00:25:09,216
So, maybe that's where I am right now.
484
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,843
And I'm in a great spot.
485
00:25:11,843 --> 00:25:14,679
I'll get this, and I don't think I'll--
I don't think I'll give this up.
486
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:17,015
Been focusing on the skills,
you know,
487
00:25:17,015 --> 00:25:20,060
focusing on my inner self,
I feel really good doing that,
488
00:25:20,060 --> 00:25:21,728
feel a lot more calmer,
a lot more at peace.
489
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,481
I'm treating this like a season,
490
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:27,359
so Donald is first up,
and there will be many after him.
491
00:25:29,819 --> 00:25:32,364
- You looking forward to the face-off?
- Yeah, most certainly.
492
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,449
It's just good to get in there,
493
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,576
and get the excitement built up.
494
00:25:36,576 --> 00:25:38,370
Conor, I wanted to start with you.
495
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:41,456
It's clear that you've got a much
different energy about you this week.
496
00:25:41,456 --> 00:25:44,209
{\an8}You know, sometimes you gotta go
to certain places in our life to...
497
00:25:44,417 --> 00:25:47,003
{\an8}to realize what we need to do,
and I certainly--
498
00:25:47,003 --> 00:25:48,296
{\an8}I turned over a new leaf.
499
00:25:48,296 --> 00:25:51,299
{\an8}Although I feel I'm still
the same young man,
500
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:54,177
but, I don't know,
I am as real as it gets,
501
00:25:54,177 --> 00:25:55,595
like the company slogan, you know.
502
00:25:55,595 --> 00:25:58,640
I react to how the situation is.
503
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,100
He has my respect,
504
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:02,394
and although there will be blood spilled,
505
00:26:02,394 --> 00:26:03,687
on January 18th,
506
00:26:03,687 --> 00:26:04,980
it will not be bad blood.
507
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:08,024
And for the Mystic Meg prediction,
it will be a KO.
508
00:26:09,192 --> 00:26:11,361
Cowboy, many people say
509
00:26:11,361 --> 00:26:15,532
that you prefer when there's no bad blood.
Does it matter to you?
510
00:26:15,532 --> 00:26:17,784
No, there's no truth.
We're just professionals.
511
00:26:17,784 --> 00:26:21,162
Why can't we-- why can't Conor sit here
and hold himself like he's doing, right?
512
00:26:21,162 --> 00:26:22,956
This is fucking amazing,
are you kidding me?
513
00:26:22,956 --> 00:26:25,875
I mean, you guys aren't getting
the clickbait and all the shit y'all want,
514
00:26:25,875 --> 00:26:28,962
but as a man, pssh, my hat's off
to the sumbitch for sitting here.
515
00:26:30,005 --> 00:26:31,881
Excellent, thank you very much.
516
00:26:31,881 --> 00:26:35,135
Hey, Conor, you've laid out
plans for the 2020 season,
517
00:26:35,135 --> 00:26:36,219
as you're calling it.
518
00:26:36,219 --> 00:26:38,263
I'm in a good spot,
I am ready to fight,
519
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:40,557
any weight, any division, any anything.
520
00:26:40,557 --> 00:26:42,183
Line them fucking up.
521
00:26:45,353 --> 00:26:47,522
I feel good.
I feel energetic, light, fast,
522
00:26:47,522 --> 00:26:49,691
accurate, and precise.
523
00:26:49,691 --> 00:26:52,986
So if I'm going
to kickstart UFCs 2020 year big.
524
00:27:08,793 --> 00:27:10,920
When am I on, 10 o'clock?
525
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,422
I think so.
526
00:27:13,173 --> 00:27:16,384
See if we can find actual
clarification on an exact time.
527
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:19,179
Usually they can tell you
you'll be walking out--
528
00:27:19,179 --> 00:27:20,847
Where's your hands?
529
00:27:20,847 --> 00:27:23,266
- Where's your hands?
530
00:27:31,024 --> 00:27:33,193
Daddy's gonna fight on there
later on tonight.
531
00:27:33,193 --> 00:27:35,111
- Wow, no way!
- Swear to God!
532
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:39,699
Yeah, I'm gonna boot him around.
533
00:27:39,699 --> 00:27:41,701
Yeah, and then bop!
534
00:27:41,701 --> 00:27:43,119
- Yah!
- Yeah!
535
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,163
- We're gonna do it!
- Yes, we are, champ!
536
00:27:45,163 --> 00:27:47,791
- We're gonna fight on the telly.
- Yes. Boom!
537
00:27:48,708 --> 00:27:50,877
Say, "Good luck, Daddy!"
538
00:27:50,877 --> 00:27:53,129
Let's go, Daddy! Give us a kiss.
539
00:27:53,129 --> 00:27:55,131
- Bye, now.
- See you!
540
00:27:55,131 --> 00:27:56,633
See you in a bit!
541
00:27:56,633 --> 00:28:00,136
- Good luck, Daddy. See you later.
- Thanks, Kathy. Thank you. Appreciate it.
542
00:28:00,929 --> 00:28:03,223
- See you later.
- All right, champ. Have fun, all right?
543
00:28:03,932 --> 00:28:05,308
Aw, are you sad?
544
00:28:05,308 --> 00:28:07,602
Aw, I need your support, buddy.
545
00:28:07,602 --> 00:28:09,396
See you in a bit, all right, buddy?
546
00:28:09,396 --> 00:28:11,481
We'll watch it
when we come back.
547
00:28:11,481 --> 00:28:13,608
We're gonna watch the fight
when I come back?
548
00:28:16,778 --> 00:28:18,988
Places, everybody! Andy's coming!
549
00:28:19,531 --> 00:28:21,658
Buzz Lightyear will help me, won't he?
550
00:28:23,410 --> 00:28:26,955
That's okay, Daddy has to go.
It's just work, Daddy has to go to work.
551
00:28:34,754 --> 00:28:36,339
Come on, come on.
552
00:28:41,469 --> 00:28:44,431
{\an8} In the Cerrone fight,
he was back having fun.
553
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:48,893
The big thing with Conor is
554
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:51,730
when he's enjoying the challenge,
he's at his best.
555
00:28:53,398 --> 00:28:56,109
When he's just in the moment,
not emotional,
556
00:28:56,109 --> 00:28:59,487
just reading the game,
reading the opponent,
557
00:28:59,487 --> 00:29:01,448
and finding the shots.
558
00:29:01,448 --> 00:29:04,659
There's nobody on the planet that can
touch Conor when he's like that.
559
00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:12,625
Feeling very good. Energetic.
560
00:29:12,625 --> 00:29:14,919
Bags of energy, I have.
561
00:29:20,508 --> 00:29:22,802
- Perfect.
562
00:29:22,969 --> 00:29:25,388
{\an8} Conor's at a state in his career
563
00:29:25,388 --> 00:29:28,641
{\an8}where it's about leaving the legacy
and the moments behind
564
00:29:28,641 --> 00:29:31,060
that he wants to be remembered by.
565
00:29:31,686 --> 00:29:33,688
Even though he's a legend, right now,
566
00:29:33,688 --> 00:29:35,523
if he decides to never compete again.
567
00:29:35,523 --> 00:29:37,650
But that's not who he is.
568
00:29:38,985 --> 00:29:42,155
When you see him so focused, so driven,
569
00:29:42,155 --> 00:29:45,867
so present in his craft,
570
00:29:45,867 --> 00:29:48,787
it's because he has
that fire and that edge
571
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:50,914
and that ambition to just go get it,
572
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:55,710
and really just put a stamp
on what he's trying to achieve.
573
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:58,838
We're going up. We're going up.
574
00:30:19,776 --> 00:30:22,654
Did you have faith
that you would be able to explode
575
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:24,322
onto the scene, as you had?
576
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:26,449
If I didn't,
it wouldn't have happened.
577
00:30:26,449 --> 00:30:28,701
I had to believe in it. I had to feel it.
578
00:30:28,701 --> 00:30:31,996
I had to have faith in it
for it to happen.
579
00:30:31,996 --> 00:30:33,540
So, you're damn right I did.
580
00:30:33,540 --> 00:30:37,377
What happens if you do lose?
581
00:30:37,377 --> 00:30:40,713
That is not in the equation,
that does not process in my brain
582
00:30:40,713 --> 00:30:42,090
for one second.
583
00:30:42,090 --> 00:30:45,218
Is there like a safe,
that's in your brain, that's locked,
584
00:30:45,218 --> 00:30:46,511
and it just doesn't open?
585
00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:49,264
I don't know. I'm not a neurologist,
I'm not a neurologist.
586
00:30:49,264 --> 00:30:51,307
I just cannot see it, I cannot feel it.
587
00:30:53,101 --> 00:30:55,311
When you put it all together,
588
00:30:55,311 --> 00:30:57,772
not just the weigh-ins,
not just the fight,
589
00:30:57,772 --> 00:30:59,315
all of the other stuff,
590
00:30:59,941 --> 00:31:01,985
nobody can do it better than me.
591
00:31:47,530 --> 00:31:49,240
Oh!
592
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,534
Early head kick from McGregor!
593
00:31:51,534 --> 00:31:54,412
Cerrone covering up! Cerrone's down!
594
00:31:57,123 --> 00:32:00,501
Oh, Cerrone trying to survive,
30 seconds in.
595
00:32:04,172 --> 00:32:06,174
- Conor McGregor!
596
00:32:06,174 --> 00:32:09,344
Too easy! Wow!
597
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:11,721
Wow. Wow.
598
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:14,766
Less than a minute in,
599
00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:17,977
Conor McGregor announces his return
600
00:32:17,977 --> 00:32:21,564
with about as many
style points as you can produce.
601
00:32:21,564 --> 00:32:26,694
Proclaimed the winner by TKO,
602
00:32:26,694 --> 00:32:30,073
the notorious Conor...
603
00:32:30,073 --> 00:32:35,745
McGregor!
604
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,456
Woo!
605
00:32:38,456 --> 00:32:40,625
Oh, my God, I can't--
606
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:43,086
You know what Conor said to me,
I think it was last week?
607
00:32:43,086 --> 00:32:45,421
{\an8}"Everyone thinks he's gonna knock
me out with a head kick.
608
00:32:45,421 --> 00:32:48,967
{\an8}I'm gonna knock him out
with a head kick." I swear to God.
609
00:32:50,510 --> 00:32:52,428
Congratulations, champ.
610
00:32:58,309 --> 00:33:00,144
Come on, you fucking legend!
611
00:33:00,144 --> 00:33:01,521
Yes!
612
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:11,239
Yeah, all the boxing training.
613
00:33:11,239 --> 00:33:12,657
I banged him on his shoulder!
614
00:33:13,866 --> 00:33:15,284
Eh, d'you remember?
615
00:33:15,284 --> 00:33:17,203
D'you remember it was back
in Georgia, USA?
616
00:33:17,203 --> 00:33:19,372
You turned your back
and I said, "Don't go away."
617
00:33:22,417 --> 00:33:24,544
Ah, rushed that.
618
00:33:24,544 --> 00:33:26,796
Good, very good, but I rushed the finish.
619
00:33:26,796 --> 00:33:29,632
I got--
It was done, and I was like, "Ah!"
620
00:33:29,632 --> 00:33:32,176
- Then you... then you did take a second!
621
00:33:32,176 --> 00:33:34,220
And then I did take a second,
yeah, then I did.
622
00:33:34,220 --> 00:33:35,847
I told him so.
623
00:33:35,847 --> 00:33:37,724
That's control, man, that's all it is.
624
00:33:37,724 --> 00:33:38,975
D'you know what that is?
625
00:33:38,975 --> 00:33:40,810
That's something out of the cage.
626
00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:42,228
That I weren't like that.
627
00:33:42,228 --> 00:33:44,313
Usually I would have just settled into it.
628
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:49,736
Oh!
629
00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:52,113
{\an8}Fucking wow!
630
00:33:52,113 --> 00:33:53,781
{\an8}Seriously, fucking wow.
631
00:33:54,490 --> 00:33:57,410
{\an8} Every Saturday night,
I gotta make people jump outta their seats
632
00:33:57,410 --> 00:34:01,122
and say, "Holy shit," and
whether he won or lost the fight,
633
00:34:01,122 --> 00:34:03,541
every Conor fight,
it was a "holy shit" fight.
634
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:06,085
Is anybody else as blown away
as I am by that shit?
635
00:34:06,085 --> 00:34:08,129
Am I the only guy in the whole place
636
00:34:08,129 --> 00:34:11,382
- that didn't see that coming?
- Thanks, mate!
637
00:34:12,175 --> 00:34:14,385
I did not see that coming.
638
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:16,804
I thought it was gonna be a war.
639
00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:20,141
What about the shoulder shoves,
like, what are they?
640
00:34:20,141 --> 00:34:21,768
Boom, that got him.
641
00:34:21,768 --> 00:34:24,520
He's a slow starter but, Jesus Christ.
642
00:34:25,313 --> 00:34:26,939
That was madness.
643
00:34:26,939 --> 00:34:29,233
The whole fucking arena was like this...
644
00:34:29,233 --> 00:34:32,236
The whole place. Holy shit.
645
00:34:32,236 --> 00:34:34,864
Happy days, happy days.
646
00:34:39,285 --> 00:34:40,953
Conor, congratulations.
647
00:34:40,953 --> 00:34:43,915
After everything you have
been through since the Khabib fight,
648
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:46,751
is it possible to put into words
what this moment means to you?
649
00:34:47,627 --> 00:34:49,587
The hard work pays, you know what I mean?
650
00:34:49,587 --> 00:34:52,048
{\an8}It's... I'm no different
than I was before,
651
00:34:52,048 --> 00:34:54,425
{\an8}I just was committed, worked hard,
and earned it.
652
00:34:54,425 --> 00:34:56,427
And that's it, we're all equal, I feel.
653
00:34:56,427 --> 00:35:00,306
It's the work you're willing to put in and
the commitment you're willing to put in,
654
00:35:00,306 --> 00:35:02,391
and I was committed to this camp,
655
00:35:02,391 --> 00:35:06,145
and I'm happy and proud
to represent my team and our work.
656
00:35:06,687 --> 00:35:09,023
Is it fair to say you're
a little emotional right now?
657
00:35:09,023 --> 00:35:11,067
Of course,
fighting is an emotional game.
658
00:35:11,067 --> 00:35:14,278
You've no idea, it's a rollercoaster of
emotion, maybe a little more this time,
659
00:35:14,278 --> 00:35:17,281
all I've gone through, and all the team's
gone through, and my peoples gone through.
660
00:35:17,281 --> 00:35:19,826
It's good to get us back where we belong.
661
00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:23,621
Very grateful for the people
that stuck with me through
662
00:35:23,621 --> 00:35:27,416
this trying time,
and this one's for... for them.
663
00:35:34,757 --> 00:35:37,343
Well done, mate. Great fight, you know.
664
00:35:39,762 --> 00:35:41,639
The Irish won it again.
665
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:44,517
Yeah!
666
00:35:47,019 --> 00:35:49,105
Oh, yes.
Thank you, men. I appreciate you all.
667
00:35:49,689 --> 00:35:52,024
Talk to me about
the emotional release.
668
00:35:52,024 --> 00:35:55,194
- At the end...
- Oh, it's... It's just a wild game, man.
669
00:35:55,194 --> 00:35:58,239
It's such a psychological
rollercoaster, man.
670
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,324
You know, it's just...
671
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:02,869
It's worth every penny this business,
you know, so...
672
00:36:02,869 --> 00:36:04,537
It's a good buzz.
673
00:36:04,537 --> 00:36:07,623
Conor, congratulations
on your victory this evening.
674
00:36:07,623 --> 00:36:09,292
Thank you, sir,
I appreciate that.
675
00:36:09,292 --> 00:36:11,961
40 seconds. I don't think
a lot of people saw that one coming.
676
00:36:11,961 --> 00:36:15,339
So obviously something changed from
your preparation in the Khabib fight?
677
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:18,759
Yeah, just my commitment.
You know, I just felt like I disrespected
678
00:36:18,759 --> 00:36:21,679
the people that believed in me
and supported me,
679
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:26,267
and... and that's what led me
to re-center myself,
680
00:36:26,267 --> 00:36:28,895
and get back to where I was at.
681
00:36:28,895 --> 00:36:31,314
If you get to pick
for your next shot here,
682
00:36:31,314 --> 00:36:33,357
in terms of when or who,
683
00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:35,026
leaning towards anything specific?
684
00:36:35,026 --> 00:36:37,820
I don't think the who matters.
Right? I think I'll be ready.
685
00:36:37,820 --> 00:36:39,864
You know, I'll have a celebration tonight,
686
00:36:39,864 --> 00:36:42,909
I'll chill with my kids tomorrow,
I'll show Junior the fight on the telly,
687
00:36:42,909 --> 00:36:44,035
see what he thinks of it,
688
00:36:44,493 --> 00:36:46,913
and then back to training, and carry on.
689
00:36:58,841 --> 00:37:00,927
- Ready to go, baby?
- Yep.
690
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:07,850
You have reached your
destination on the left-hand side.
691
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:11,354
Any where you like.
If you wanna be in the middle...
692
00:37:15,316 --> 00:37:18,986
- Vroom, vroom, vroom.
- Yay, champion!
693
00:37:18,986 --> 00:37:22,198
Woo-hoo! Yes!
694
00:37:22,198 --> 00:37:24,242
- Alligator, there, look.
695
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:25,785
See him, buddy?
696
00:37:25,785 --> 00:37:27,745
- Conor, see him?
- See that, champ? Look!
697
00:37:27,745 --> 00:37:29,413
Crocodile.
698
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:32,875
- Look how still they stay.
699
00:37:34,752 --> 00:37:38,005
{\an8} The Cerrone fight was a way
for him to redeem himself.
700
00:37:38,005 --> 00:37:40,341
{\an8}It was a way to reset everything,
701
00:37:40,341 --> 00:37:43,386
{\an8}and it was flawless,
his performance was flawless.
702
00:37:43,386 --> 00:37:47,473
He came back from that
and there wasn't a scratch on him.
703
00:37:48,307 --> 00:37:51,185
{\an8} It was beautiful,
and, you know, you do feel
704
00:37:51,185 --> 00:37:55,147
{\an8}pressure mounting a little bit, and just
to have that come off your shoulders
705
00:37:55,147 --> 00:37:58,776
and that fight,
all of it is just gorgeous,
706
00:37:58,776 --> 00:38:01,195
just beautiful to watch,
I'll watch it all day long.
707
00:38:04,115 --> 00:38:05,908
- Look, there!
- Oh, yeah, look, it's moving!
708
00:38:05,908 --> 00:38:08,035
- It's coming right for the boat.
- Oh, my God!
709
00:38:08,035 --> 00:38:09,954
It's coming right for the boat!
710
00:38:12,915 --> 00:38:14,959
Look, I'm seeing him
doing his head, there.
711
00:38:17,461 --> 00:38:19,171
- Alligator.
- Alligator, yeah.
712
00:38:19,171 --> 00:38:21,299
- What is it, Conor?
- A gator.
713
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:23,426
Alligator. Do you like it?
714
00:38:23,426 --> 00:38:24,885
Oh, look, alligator.
715
00:38:24,885 --> 00:38:26,262
- He knows I'm not food.
- Ooh!
716
00:38:26,262 --> 00:38:28,681
What? Relax,
I'm just seeing how it reacts.
717
00:38:28,681 --> 00:38:30,766
I'm in control of that thing.
718
00:38:30,766 --> 00:38:33,019
Watch, watch, watch! See?
719
00:38:33,019 --> 00:38:35,604
Told you, didn't I? He took a back step.
720
00:38:35,604 --> 00:38:37,857
Yes, off you go, son.
721
00:38:41,319 --> 00:38:42,653
Yes!
722
00:38:42,653 --> 00:38:45,239
It's going,
it's submerging, it's going under.
723
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,741
It's going under.
724
00:38:52,038 --> 00:38:54,040
{\an8} Conor enjoyed it in there.
725
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,833
{\an8}And you could see that
in the performance.
726
00:38:55,833 --> 00:38:58,711
{\an8}And you could see how quickly
he dismantled Cerrone.
727
00:39:02,089 --> 00:39:04,508
We felt like we got it right in that camp.
728
00:39:04,508 --> 00:39:07,094
The energy was perfect,
the training was perfect,
729
00:39:07,094 --> 00:39:10,765
and we felt like
if we start putting a run together now,
730
00:39:10,765 --> 00:39:14,185
we're back on top
and we're going onto even bigger things.
731
00:39:37,416 --> 00:39:41,087
{\an8} People were saying
that's it for contact sports, it's over.
732
00:39:41,087 --> 00:39:44,840
No one's ever gonna play rugby again,
no one's ever gonna wanna wrestle again.
733
00:39:45,549 --> 00:39:49,220
This killer disease,
and it seems to be mutating,
734
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:50,805
and taking over everything.
735
00:39:52,306 --> 00:39:56,143
{\an8} After the Cerrone fight,
there was lots of talk of welterweight,
736
00:39:56,143 --> 00:39:58,020
{\an8}and welterweight title fights and stuff.
737
00:39:58,687 --> 00:40:01,649
And, you know,
it could've easily been done.
738
00:40:04,026 --> 00:40:07,571
Pandemic hits, gyms are closed.
739
00:40:07,571 --> 00:40:09,907
Shows were canceled, you know.
740
00:40:10,449 --> 00:40:12,701
It was difficult.
741
00:40:14,370 --> 00:40:17,373
Could just see
all these conflicting thoughts,
742
00:40:17,373 --> 00:40:20,042
but look, we keep going,
743
00:40:20,042 --> 00:40:23,129
we keep walking forward.
744
00:40:35,724 --> 00:40:37,726
That's not the one we're taking, is it?
745
00:40:37,726 --> 00:40:40,229
- We're taking the white one, yeah?
- Okay.
746
00:40:40,229 --> 00:40:43,357
White ones are too common.
You're better off with this one.
747
00:40:44,358 --> 00:40:48,279
I always visualize
what giving would feel like.
748
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:50,531
Givin' to people who have given to me.
749
00:40:50,531 --> 00:40:51,657
What that would feel like.
750
00:40:51,657 --> 00:40:54,243
I always dreamed of just showing up
one day and being, like, here!
751
00:40:54,243 --> 00:40:56,203
And that would always
give me good feelings.
752
00:40:58,539 --> 00:41:01,333
This is the first drop-off,
in Connolly Hospital.
753
00:41:02,293 --> 00:41:04,420
I done two back-to-back shoulders
754
00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:06,380
in Connolly Hospital with me left paw.
755
00:41:06,380 --> 00:41:08,048
Thank you very much.
756
00:41:08,048 --> 00:41:10,259
- One for all, sir, one for all.
- Good man.
757
00:41:10,259 --> 00:41:13,179
So, it's good to be back here
and gifting back now.
758
00:41:13,971 --> 00:41:16,557
Now I can do
what I've been dreaming of doing,
759
00:41:16,557 --> 00:41:19,059
giving back to the people
who have given so much to me.
760
00:41:22,688 --> 00:41:24,773
I think it's my duty,
761
00:41:24,773 --> 00:41:26,859
it's the duty of people
who are not affected
762
00:41:26,859 --> 00:41:29,320
or are in a position to help, to help.
763
00:41:29,945 --> 00:41:31,822
- Thank you very much.
- My pleasure.
764
00:41:31,822 --> 00:41:34,074
Oh, no, there's one more,
there's one more, sorry.
765
00:41:35,868 --> 00:41:37,995
I don't know how
many weeks, now, it's been,
766
00:41:37,995 --> 00:41:40,080
so I'm only human,
I've slipped a few times,
767
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,832
and I was training so hard
768
00:41:41,832 --> 00:41:43,918
and then you have a week or two
where you cannae let it go.
769
00:41:44,543 --> 00:41:49,548
But overall, I'm pretty good and it's been
a good self-learning experience.
770
00:41:53,802 --> 00:41:55,930
{\an8} Conor was in a financially
comfortable position
771
00:41:55,930 --> 00:41:58,182
{\an8}where he could just say,
okay, see you later, guys.
772
00:41:59,266 --> 00:42:02,520
And he's still wanting to train,
still wanting to be involved.
773
00:42:04,271 --> 00:42:06,815
And that gives you hope,
that gives you courage,
774
00:42:06,815 --> 00:42:08,901
gives you purpose.
775
00:42:10,945 --> 00:42:13,405
{\an8} Nobody knew
when this was gonna end.
776
00:42:14,823 --> 00:42:18,118
{\an8}But then Dana was talking about,
well, we're working on stuff.
777
00:42:19,411 --> 00:42:21,622
There's a solution to every problem,
778
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:25,876
{\an8}and my job is to figure out a solution
779
00:42:25,876 --> 00:42:27,419
{\an8}to whenever problems pop up.
780
00:42:27,419 --> 00:42:31,298
Rolling over, quitting, hiding,
781
00:42:31,298 --> 00:42:34,552
none of those things
are in the way that I'm built.
782
00:42:37,930 --> 00:42:40,975
Big news,
UFC president, Dana White,
783
00:42:40,975 --> 00:42:44,895
announced that UFC 251
will take place July 11th
784
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:46,564
on Fight Island.
785
00:42:46,564 --> 00:42:48,566
Only Dana White could come up with that.
786
00:42:49,483 --> 00:42:52,570
Fight Island
was the only true bubble
787
00:42:52,570 --> 00:42:54,822
that ever existed during COVID.
788
00:42:54,822 --> 00:42:58,450
We brought people onto this island,
and they were there
789
00:42:58,450 --> 00:43:00,828
for weeks, away from everybody else,
790
00:43:00,828 --> 00:43:04,665
being tested,
and we went into this true bubble
791
00:43:04,665 --> 00:43:08,043
that nobody ever left until
it was time to go back home.
792
00:43:08,043 --> 00:43:10,754
We were talking to everybody
back then, you know,
793
00:43:10,754 --> 00:43:13,132
because I have to offer them
three fights a year.
794
00:43:13,132 --> 00:43:14,508
And they can say no.
795
00:43:15,217 --> 00:43:18,053
So, we were in talks
with everybody, including Conor.
796
00:43:24,435 --> 00:43:27,354
- It's good to see you're well.
797
00:43:27,354 --> 00:43:29,273
I haven't had
contact training in a long time.
798
00:43:29,273 --> 00:43:30,983
If you're looking for spars, we have them.
799
00:43:30,983 --> 00:43:33,110
{\an8}Let's get this session in,
see where we're at.
800
00:43:33,110 --> 00:43:34,987
{\an8}- Not now.
- Yeah, not now.
801
00:43:34,987 --> 00:43:38,198
{\an8}Like, I said to the doctor,
I'd let you just find your spot.
802
00:43:38,198 --> 00:43:40,367
This is my first time
in the gym, like, even.
803
00:43:40,367 --> 00:43:42,369
That's what I'm saying,
just find your spot.
804
00:43:42,369 --> 00:43:45,789
When this Corona thing happened,
I got into the best shape of me life.
805
00:43:45,789 --> 00:43:48,959
That spurred me on
to stay put, stay focused,
806
00:43:48,959 --> 00:43:51,545
get your work in, and I went levels up,
807
00:43:51,545 --> 00:43:53,881
even from the last camp,
808
00:43:53,881 --> 00:43:56,675
and then it was active rest week,
809
00:43:56,675 --> 00:43:59,345
idle... devil... what's the quote?
Devil fucking...?
810
00:43:59,345 --> 00:44:01,722
- What's the quote?
- Devil makes work for idle hands.
811
00:44:01,722 --> 00:44:04,683
Devil makes work for idle hands,
and that's what happened to me.
812
00:44:04,683 --> 00:44:07,269
I swan-dove back into the bleeding pit.
813
00:44:07,269 --> 00:44:09,313
But then I crawled myself
back out of it again
814
00:44:09,313 --> 00:44:11,690
and then I was kinda like,
up and down and in and out.
815
00:44:12,316 --> 00:44:14,401
And that's where I've been since, so.
816
00:44:17,196 --> 00:44:20,157
{\an8} We were really
pushing to stay active.
817
00:44:20,908 --> 00:44:23,035
{\an8}Cerrone was the start of it.
818
00:44:23,035 --> 00:44:25,746
We thought that was gonna start
to have him fighting
819
00:44:25,746 --> 00:44:28,290
two, three times a year,
which is a good cadence,
820
00:44:28,290 --> 00:44:30,668
in terms of frequency of activity.
821
00:44:31,585 --> 00:44:33,629
I don't know what's gonna happen.
822
00:44:33,629 --> 00:44:36,840
They haven't...
Haven't approached me with anything!
823
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,926
They've not come near me.
824
00:44:38,926 --> 00:44:41,428
The Anderson, the Masvidal, the Usman.
825
00:44:41,428 --> 00:44:43,138
None of them.
826
00:44:45,307 --> 00:44:49,061
Ultimately, I can't tell
you what they were thinking.
827
00:44:49,061 --> 00:44:53,273
The reality of it is, is they weren't
booking him, weren't keeping him active,
828
00:44:53,273 --> 00:44:56,902
after numerous requests from us to them,
829
00:44:56,902 --> 00:45:00,906
knowing that, hey, listen,
we want to stay active.
830
00:45:08,664 --> 00:45:11,625
{\an8} How hard is it
to sit here by the sidelines
831
00:45:11,625 --> 00:45:13,419
{\an8}and watch other people fight?
832
00:45:13,419 --> 00:45:16,922
To see these great contests, and I'm
sitting there, can't-- know what I mean?
833
00:45:16,922 --> 00:45:19,174
So, definitely, it's tough.
834
00:45:19,174 --> 00:45:22,386
I will fight anyone. I'll fight
my corner man, I'll fight my coaches,
835
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:24,430
I'll fight my teammates, know what I mean?
836
00:45:24,430 --> 00:45:27,141
- Yeah, man, I will fight you right now...
837
00:45:27,141 --> 00:45:30,394
...but I'm just trying to keep a positive
mindframe and always be happy,
838
00:45:30,394 --> 00:45:33,689
because why not?
I mean, what else...
839
00:45:33,689 --> 00:45:36,859
nothing good ever comes from worrying,
840
00:45:36,859 --> 00:45:39,111
or sitting and feeling sorry for yourself,
841
00:45:39,111 --> 00:45:41,613
even though I've had a few nights
where I felt sorry for myself,
842
00:45:41,613 --> 00:45:44,575
I just keep positive, keep pushing on,
things will turn good.
843
00:45:54,168 --> 00:45:56,545
Shut the door, ring the bell,
844
00:45:56,545 --> 00:45:58,338
And no one does it better than me.
845
00:45:59,173 --> 00:46:01,467
So, stay tuned.
