1
00:00:23,356 --> 00:00:26,776
How's it going?
Uh, welcome to Shinobi Vlog.
2
00:00:26,776 --> 00:00:28,570
My name is Conor McGregor,
3
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:32,157
I'm a mixed martial artist
with the Ultimate Fighting Championship,
4
00:00:32,157 --> 00:00:34,701
and I'm from Dublin, Ireland.
5
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,746
- What scares you most?
6
00:00:37,746 --> 00:00:41,332
Uh, I don't know.
I don't really fear...
7
00:00:41,332 --> 00:00:44,836
fear too much. I don't fear... I don't
really think about things like that.
8
00:00:44,836 --> 00:00:47,630
Nothing fears me.
9
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:52,385
People might, might expect me to say
losing might fear me, or defeat.
10
00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:55,597
Defeat isn't...
isn't something that fears me,
11
00:00:55,597 --> 00:01:00,435
success isn't something that inspires me
either, you know what I mean?
12
00:01:00,435 --> 00:01:03,146
Success doesn't inspire me,
and fear doesn't...
13
00:01:03,146 --> 00:01:05,690
and defeat doesn't fear me.
14
00:01:05,690 --> 00:01:07,734
What d'you wanna be?
15
00:01:07,734 --> 00:01:09,819
That's another thing,
"What do you wanna be?"
16
00:01:09,819 --> 00:01:11,529
I don't... I don't wanna be anything.
17
00:01:11,529 --> 00:01:15,116
I-- I am...
I am everything I wanna be.
18
00:01:15,116 --> 00:01:17,285
I'm already there, you know?
19
00:01:17,285 --> 00:01:19,537
I don't, I don't want anything.
20
00:01:19,537 --> 00:01:23,208
People say, people say like,
"I want this."
21
00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:26,086
Or "I wanna, I wanna do this, or do that."
22
00:01:26,086 --> 00:01:29,339
But the vibe you're putting out is want.
23
00:01:29,339 --> 00:01:32,967
You're always going to want.
I always have the attitude that I have.
24
00:01:32,967 --> 00:01:36,429
Again, I always felt
like I was a black belt.
25
00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:40,517
You know what I mean? I always
felt like I was the world champion.
26
00:01:40,517 --> 00:01:43,561
I always felt like
I already could do everything.
27
00:01:43,561 --> 00:01:45,814
Know what I mean?
But I don't want anything,
28
00:01:45,814 --> 00:01:47,732
I have everything. That's the mindset.
29
00:01:47,732 --> 00:01:49,234
I mean, I have everything.
30
00:01:49,234 --> 00:01:50,568
I have everything!
31
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:09,671
UFC 257 is officially in the books,
32
00:02:09,671 --> 00:02:11,881
and you probably heard by now
33
00:02:11,881 --> 00:02:13,967
that Dustin Poirier
defeated Conor McGregor...
34
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:17,679
Dustin Poirier dusted up
Conor McGregor in the second round.
35
00:02:17,679 --> 00:02:19,556
Holy shit, that just happened!
36
00:02:19,556 --> 00:02:22,892
...knocking out Conor McGregor,
the whole world was watching...
37
00:02:22,892 --> 00:02:27,021
- Yeah, he fought well in the beginning...
- He did.
38
00:02:27,021 --> 00:02:29,983
Poirier just mangled the leg
of Conor McGregor.
39
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:31,526
He walked out with a cane.
40
00:02:31,526 --> 00:02:33,069
His legs were shot.
41
00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:35,905
I just feel like Conor McGregor
really shit the bed out there.
42
00:02:35,905 --> 00:02:38,658
John Kavanagh told us
before the last fight,
43
00:02:38,658 --> 00:02:41,286
this is the best Conor McGregor
you've ever seen.
44
00:02:41,286 --> 00:02:44,914
And it was without doubt the worst
Conor McGregor we've ever seen.
45
00:02:44,914 --> 00:02:47,167
I don't think he's the same animal.
46
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:49,502
Wasn't the Conor of old.
47
00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:52,547
That ain't the same guy.
That's not the same guy.
48
00:02:52,547 --> 00:02:56,092
We need the old Conor back,
we need the trash-talking Conor...
49
00:02:56,092 --> 00:02:59,304
I told you, he's a rich man now.
Got a lot of money.
50
00:02:59,304 --> 00:03:02,932
He was in the gutter,
in Abu Dhabi or Dubai,
51
00:03:02,932 --> 00:03:04,225
sipping up.
52
00:03:04,225 --> 00:03:06,185
It's hard to get up
at 5:00 in the morning
53
00:03:06,185 --> 00:03:08,396
and go running
when you're sleeping in silk pajamas.
54
00:03:08,396 --> 00:03:13,026
Sleeping on super-yachts
and living a billionaire lifestyle.
55
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:17,238
The difference between
wanting to win and needing to win...
56
00:03:17,238 --> 00:03:19,908
McGregor is in that want-to-win stage.
57
00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:22,827
He's fighting dudes who still need to win.
58
00:03:22,827 --> 00:03:26,664
They're hungrier, and if McGregor
can't get hungry like that,
59
00:03:26,664 --> 00:03:28,374
then he should hang it up.
60
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:37,884
{\an8} Conor, he had been
under a bit of pressure,
61
00:03:37,884 --> 00:03:40,053
{\an8}from, from a lot of different angles.
62
00:03:40,970 --> 00:03:43,806
He needed a bit of breathing space.
63
00:03:43,806 --> 00:03:47,060
He needed that little bit of time
to find himself.
64
00:03:48,895 --> 00:03:52,732
{\an8} Nothing quite feels
like losing a fight
65
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:54,776
{\an8}because it's prime.
66
00:03:54,776 --> 00:03:58,279
If the referee wasn't there,
you would've died, and you know it.
67
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:02,367
He's got to ask himself, "Do I want it?"
68
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:05,203
Do you wanna put up
with that misery in your underwear
69
00:04:05,203 --> 00:04:07,455
in front of 20,000 people,
in front of the world?
70
00:04:07,455 --> 00:04:09,666
It's as... it's as honest as it gets.
71
00:04:11,626 --> 00:04:14,754
And then all the criticism that comes
from that, when you win or lose.
72
00:04:15,713 --> 00:04:17,632
Fact is, when you walk out there,
73
00:04:17,632 --> 00:04:20,677
and the bell goes ding-dong,
d'you wanna kill the guy or not?
74
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:27,517
{\an8} That's how it's been
for the last few weeks?
75
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:29,811
You coming in here, dead of the night,
getting your work done?
76
00:04:29,811 --> 00:04:32,855
Yeah, that's it. Two sessions a day.
77
00:04:32,855 --> 00:04:35,942
Just doing me work. Head down.
78
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:37,610
Fully focused.
79
00:04:38,945 --> 00:04:40,488
And enjoying it, I have to say.
80
00:04:41,155 --> 00:04:44,284
You know. A lot of time on my own,
obviously with the family,
81
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,661
but alone from the team.
82
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:48,329
You know...
83
00:04:48,329 --> 00:04:51,124
...a lot of soul searching
and deep thinking.
84
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:55,753
How I wanna go about the next one
and what I should be doing.
85
00:04:55,753 --> 00:05:00,091
You can learn a lot from tough times,
you know what I mean?
86
00:05:00,091 --> 00:05:04,262
If not... the most.
You learn the most from...
87
00:05:04,262 --> 00:05:07,181
your hardships, your losses.
88
00:05:07,181 --> 00:05:10,852
Then come back better than ever.
And that's what I feel.
89
00:05:10,852 --> 00:05:14,147
- I really feel I've figured it out.
90
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:17,108
I can feel my purpose,
I feel like I'm glowing again.
91
00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:21,112
I'm getting that glow about me again.
And, uh...
92
00:05:21,112 --> 00:05:24,407
Do you feel that's a solo journey?
93
00:05:24,407 --> 00:05:26,826
Ah, well, of course it's a solo journey.
94
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:30,580
I've got an incredible team who all help
me out and are all there for me,
95
00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:32,498
but it is a solo journey.
96
00:05:32,498 --> 00:05:35,251
I'm the one that has to walk
into the cage at the end of the day.
97
00:05:35,251 --> 00:05:37,337
So, um...
98
00:05:44,135 --> 00:05:46,429
McGregor! Yes!
99
00:05:46,429 --> 00:05:48,389
Champion!
100
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:08,326
{\an8} Conor's someone
that takes his losses in the chin,
101
00:06:08,326 --> 00:06:10,411
{\an8}but comes right back with a vengeance
102
00:06:10,411 --> 00:06:14,207
and shows that he's learned
and he's grown from that experience.
103
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:18,628
When he's faced with adversity,
he runs back into it,
104
00:06:18,628 --> 00:06:20,379
as opposed to away from it.
105
00:06:22,298 --> 00:06:23,674
And so, he told me,
106
00:06:23,674 --> 00:06:26,010
I don't want anything else
but that rematch.
107
00:06:27,845 --> 00:06:30,014
- Breaking UFC news...
108
00:06:30,014 --> 00:06:34,018
It's official. Dustin Poirier
vs Conor McGregor 3. UFC 264.
109
00:06:34,018 --> 00:06:36,896
Dustin Poirier,
Conor McGregor, part 3.
110
00:06:36,896 --> 00:06:39,398
I can't overstate
how big this fight is for Conor.
111
00:06:39,398 --> 00:06:41,734
The pressure
is on McGregor to come back.
112
00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:44,195
There's a lot on the line.
113
00:06:44,195 --> 00:06:45,863
He can't continue
losing like this.
114
00:06:45,863 --> 00:06:48,157
As he stepped in there,
he was so focused on...
115
00:06:48,157 --> 00:06:51,119
Conor was just
so predictable in that last fight.
116
00:06:51,119 --> 00:06:54,789
Don't know if he and
his team can construct the right game plan
117
00:06:54,789 --> 00:06:58,459
to defeat the best 155-pound fighter
in the world.
118
00:06:58,459 --> 00:07:02,505
What were your thoughts
this week with the added media attention?
119
00:07:02,505 --> 00:07:05,758
I don't pay attention to it.
I just pay attention to my team.
120
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:09,095
The people in my circle.
Nobody else matters.
121
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:11,764
That's perfect,
straight to the mat there.
122
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:13,933
My team is my team since day one.
123
00:07:13,933 --> 00:07:16,602
My coach has been my coach since day one.
124
00:07:16,602 --> 00:07:19,605
I feel people go to different gyms
and go in search of something,
125
00:07:19,605 --> 00:07:22,650
but it's a sign of a weak fighter, to me.
126
00:07:23,317 --> 00:07:26,654
You build it yourself with a belief
in your surroundings,
127
00:07:26,654 --> 00:07:29,157
belief in your work
and belief in your team.
128
00:07:29,157 --> 00:07:33,619
I listen to my team, show up at the gym,
put more work in than anyone else.
129
00:07:34,704 --> 00:07:37,081
And at the same time,
no one can critique me... myself
130
00:07:37,081 --> 00:07:38,499
more than I critique myself.
131
00:07:38,499 --> 00:07:40,626
You know what I mean? So...
132
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:43,171
what other people say
doesn't really come into the equation.
133
00:07:45,631 --> 00:07:48,301
Nice body shot there
from Conor.
134
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:52,138
Catch that left-turn kick,
135
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:54,348
off of something coming
on the back.
136
00:07:54,348 --> 00:07:58,269
Right. That definitely could be a feature
of Dustin's plan, you know?
137
00:07:58,269 --> 00:08:00,104
Yeah, lay-up, yeah. Yeah.
138
00:08:00,104 --> 00:08:02,482
- Poor on round three.
- Yeah.
139
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:03,983
There's nice shots here.
140
00:08:03,983 --> 00:08:05,651
- Isn't there like?
- Yeah.
141
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:07,778
Around the temple,
he's weak around the temple.
142
00:08:07,778 --> 00:08:09,113
The dome, like...
143
00:08:09,113 --> 00:08:11,073
There's a few glancing elbows there.
144
00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:14,702
{\an8}They kinda pulled this trick
145
00:08:14,702 --> 00:08:16,871
{\an8}outta the back pocket,
and fair play.
146
00:08:17,997 --> 00:08:19,290
We know that now.
147
00:08:20,208 --> 00:08:22,126
Look, no one loses better than Conor.
148
00:08:23,794 --> 00:08:26,422
It takes a very special mindset
to be able to sit back,
149
00:08:26,422 --> 00:08:28,966
have your ego in check,
watch the tape back,
150
00:08:28,966 --> 00:08:30,676
and say, "We screwed up here,
151
00:08:30,676 --> 00:08:33,429
why so many calf kicks?
We never had this issue before.
152
00:08:33,429 --> 00:08:36,390
Where am I weak?"
Well, look. Here, here, and here.
153
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,232
The great thing with Conor
is that he understands
154
00:08:44,232 --> 00:08:48,194
that failure is a necessary ingredient
towards success and improvement.
155
00:08:48,861 --> 00:08:50,738
And you go out there and you do it.
156
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:04,877
{\an8}If you were squaring up
in front of me...
157
00:09:04,877 --> 00:09:07,588
{\an8}I can't kick that,
and if I try and kick that,
158
00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:10,341
{\an8}that left hand's gonna fuckin'...
like a missile down the pipe.
159
00:09:10,341 --> 00:09:12,802
He won't get a heavy lead
like he did last time.
160
00:09:12,802 --> 00:09:15,346
He hit me with 18 kicks,
I hit him with one.
161
00:09:15,346 --> 00:09:17,890
Eighteen low kicks, I hit him with one.
162
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:22,770
You know what I mean?
I'll be the 18, he'll be three or four.
163
00:09:22,770 --> 00:09:25,940
You know what I mean? And that'll be
in the first two fuckin' minutes.
164
00:09:25,940 --> 00:09:28,359
Yeah, man, excellent job.
Good leg kick.
165
00:09:28,359 --> 00:09:31,320
Boom, boom, go.
166
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,614
Kick and go!
167
00:09:33,614 --> 00:09:35,741
One more round to finish five.
168
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:37,577
Let's do that high-high kick.
169
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:40,705
Now push! Now push!
170
00:09:40,705 --> 00:09:43,916
Back up and then spin. Hey!
171
00:09:46,043 --> 00:09:48,421
{\an8} One of the very common questions
I get is,
172
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:50,423
{\an8}"Oh, did you know right away with Conor?"
173
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:53,384
{\an8}Or, "When someone comes in,
do you know they're special?"
174
00:09:53,384 --> 00:09:54,844
I'd be lying if I said yes.
175
00:09:54,844 --> 00:09:57,680
Because I don't know if they can do it
every day for six months.
176
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,683
So it's very tempting to say
the wall came down
177
00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:03,519
and split the mats in two,
and out walked Conor...
178
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:07,273
Oh, no, he was just a kid
that just wouldn't stop showing up,
179
00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:11,027
wouldn't stop messaging me
outside of class times with his questions,
180
00:10:11,027 --> 00:10:13,988
and that's what separates him
from the others.
181
00:10:13,988 --> 00:10:17,158
Every session is done with a mindset
182
00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:19,243
that this is for a UFC championship
183
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:22,872
in Madison Square Garden,
with half the world watching me.
184
00:10:22,872 --> 00:10:25,875
Those daily repetitions
done with a mindset
185
00:10:25,875 --> 00:10:28,919
of somebody
that's winning a title every day.
186
00:10:31,339 --> 00:10:32,882
It was a tough session.
187
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:35,635
The sessions I need
and the sessions I'm relishing.
188
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,261
I'm enjoying them very much,
189
00:10:37,261 --> 00:10:40,848
so keep it going, six weeks to go, today.
190
00:10:40,848 --> 00:10:44,060
That's a camp for people, six weeks.
191
00:10:44,894 --> 00:10:47,188
I'm full of energy, I'm fresh.
192
00:10:47,772 --> 00:10:50,399
Keep it going. We've got this.
193
00:10:59,575 --> 00:11:01,661
This is my new son, Rian.
194
00:11:03,913 --> 00:11:07,750
- The next... the next champ.
195
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:09,085
All right, buddy?
196
00:11:09,085 --> 00:11:10,795
One week old.
197
00:11:10,795 --> 00:11:12,421
One week old, yeah.
198
00:11:13,631 --> 00:11:15,591
So just the smell of him, and all.
199
00:11:15,591 --> 00:11:17,635
It's great.
200
00:11:18,594 --> 00:11:21,931
Hey there, buddy.
Another little one to teach.
201
00:11:22,973 --> 00:11:25,559
Now I've got Junior
that's gonna help me teach as well.
202
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:29,105
I'm excited.
He's very good with him as well.
203
00:11:32,691 --> 00:11:36,362
{\an8}Dee had the third child, Rian.
He's a beautiful baby boy.
204
00:11:37,488 --> 00:11:40,282
And, you know, I've seen Conor grow
205
00:11:40,282 --> 00:11:43,369
with every new family member
that he's brought into this world.
206
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:46,455
- He's smiling a little bit, isn't he?
- He's smiling.
207
00:11:46,455 --> 00:11:50,000
I can see, honestly,
a twinkle in his eye.
208
00:11:51,585 --> 00:11:54,588
{\an8}- Daddy, can I have some more?
- Want some more food?
209
00:11:56,674 --> 00:11:59,385
{\an8} He does it all for them.
210
00:12:01,512 --> 00:12:04,932
Like The Lion King.
Look at his little face.
211
00:12:09,437 --> 00:12:12,565
Again. Hey! Nice one.
212
00:12:13,983 --> 00:12:17,278
The difference between that
and that, you know?
213
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:19,530
So, just a slide back,
different shot.
214
00:12:19,530 --> 00:12:22,783
Thirteen minutes.
Thirteen minutes to go.
215
00:12:29,373 --> 00:12:32,793
Sixteen minutes.
Sixteen minutes gone.
216
00:12:42,511 --> 00:12:44,180
On the ankle as well.
217
00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:48,684
A little sore on the shin.
218
00:12:49,643 --> 00:12:52,438
Throwing them and sometimes
they lift and hit the knee,
219
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:56,400
but it's all good.
Couple of days or a week...
220
00:12:57,693 --> 00:12:59,945
of minding it,
221
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:01,864
and I should be good to go again.
222
00:13:08,245 --> 00:13:11,832
{\an8}One of the things that... unfortunate...
Conor had to deal with
223
00:13:11,832 --> 00:13:14,668
{\an8}was a lot of swelling around that ankle.
224
00:13:15,377 --> 00:13:18,005
We feared that it was a stress fracture.
225
00:13:19,381 --> 00:13:23,177
The X-rays done in Dubai came back
that it was a deep bone bruise.
226
00:13:23,177 --> 00:13:28,057
So, we were trying to figure out,
how do we get him through this camp,
227
00:13:28,057 --> 00:13:32,061
finish camp and get him to fight?
Or do we have to push the fight back?
228
00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:35,773
It's not a decision
that's taken lightly at all,
229
00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:38,234
particularly when Conor
never tries to pull...
230
00:13:38,234 --> 00:13:41,111
He tries to avoid--
He doesn't wanna talk about it.
231
00:13:41,111 --> 00:13:43,113
But at the end of the day, for us,
232
00:13:43,113 --> 00:13:47,493
we have to first make sure his health
and safety is put above everything else.
233
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:52,623
This happened right before he flew to LA.
234
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:05,928
My surgeon is the head doctor,
so we came out to see him,
235
00:14:05,928 --> 00:14:07,429
to chat about the ankle.
236
00:14:07,429 --> 00:14:10,724
A couple of days' rest, naturally,
after the last mesocycle.
237
00:14:10,724 --> 00:14:12,184
So I'm okay to do all this.
238
00:14:12,184 --> 00:14:15,145
Then I want to start pushing,
getting back to training.
239
00:14:15,145 --> 00:14:18,357
I want to kick again, bounce again,
spar again.
240
00:14:18,899 --> 00:14:22,319
If these are things I can't really do,
there's gonna be an issue.
241
00:14:22,319 --> 00:14:25,990
I'm gonna see how it unfolds
and make a decision what to do after that.
242
00:14:26,824 --> 00:14:29,577
I've been sparring a lot
with no shin pads.
243
00:14:29,577 --> 00:14:32,204
{\an8}Obviously,
there's to be a trauma in the, in the...
244
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:35,291
{\an8}bunch of low kicks, the last time.
I wanted to be sparring
245
00:14:35,291 --> 00:14:38,544
{\an8}and training with no shin pads,
so I can feel the exact force.
246
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:41,505
So I threw a couple of kicks,
I've thrown loads of kicks,
247
00:14:41,505 --> 00:14:44,216
one of them hit the knee with the shin,
248
00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:47,094
and the other one hit the knee
with the ankles. Two separate kicks.
249
00:14:47,094 --> 00:14:49,513
So, is this part sore?
250
00:14:49,513 --> 00:14:51,015
Not when you press it, no.
251
00:14:51,015 --> 00:14:54,518
{\an8}Your bone's bruised on this.
You got a big bone bruise here.
252
00:14:54,518 --> 00:14:57,521
{\an8}- It shows that, does it?
- I'll show you the MRI scan.
253
00:14:57,521 --> 00:15:00,900
- So, whenever you do that...
254
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:03,485
When I do that,
I can feel something here.
255
00:15:03,485 --> 00:15:07,531
What you're feeling there
is the swelling around the bone, here.
256
00:15:07,531 --> 00:15:09,909
I have a feeling, when you kick,
257
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:12,328
you kick with force, so your leg stops,
258
00:15:12,328 --> 00:15:14,705
- your ankle and foot keep coming.
- Yeah.
259
00:15:14,705 --> 00:15:17,291
- Does this hurt when I do that?
- No.
260
00:15:17,291 --> 00:15:19,877
- So that's what happens when he kicks.
- Yeah.
261
00:15:19,877 --> 00:15:22,087
It'll stop here,
this will come forward.
262
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:23,881
If that doesn't hurt you,
that's a good sign.
263
00:15:23,881 --> 00:15:26,884
- Yeah.
- Let me show you what you have here.
264
00:15:26,884 --> 00:15:28,761
- So that's new.
- What?
265
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:30,220
The bone bruise.
266
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:32,598
That's from the kick?
That's from kicking the knee?
267
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:35,684
Yeah, and it's also from the added impact
268
00:15:35,684 --> 00:15:38,228
of what you're doing to train,
the running too.
269
00:15:38,228 --> 00:15:43,317
I guess the real reason we came here
was to get a time estimate
270
00:15:43,317 --> 00:15:46,612
of what you think
that this is going to take.
271
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:49,782
That, or figure out
if we should push the fight back.
272
00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:52,701
Yeah. It's gonna be,
basically, based on his symptoms,
273
00:15:52,701 --> 00:15:54,703
not based on how you follow it like this.
274
00:15:54,703 --> 00:15:57,289
I think that you decrease the impact,
275
00:15:57,289 --> 00:16:00,709
let him go into the Octagon
and do what he'd normally be doing
276
00:16:00,709 --> 00:16:03,379
at this point before a fight,
and see how it responds.
277
00:16:03,379 --> 00:16:06,215
If it gets worse
278
00:16:06,215 --> 00:16:09,259
over the course of a week or so,
279
00:16:09,259 --> 00:16:10,970
then we gotta shut it down.
280
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:13,639
When you're training,
as soon as you make contact
281
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:17,685
with that part of your ankle
with somebody's shin or knee,
282
00:16:17,685 --> 00:16:19,770
if you hit it like that...
283
00:16:20,437 --> 00:16:22,272
anything hard-- There's no padding here,
284
00:16:22,272 --> 00:16:24,858
there's no muscle or anything
under the skin here,
285
00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:27,611
it's gonna light you up. And so...
286
00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:30,030
if we at least pad it,
287
00:16:30,030 --> 00:16:33,033
for training, it's not going
to eliminate the impact,
288
00:16:33,033 --> 00:16:36,370
but you need to be able
to throw some kicks to...
289
00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:39,707
- To go through the motion.
- ...to go through the motion of training.
290
00:16:39,707 --> 00:16:44,211
Once I can go through the mechanisms
of it and not be limping then after it,
291
00:16:44,211 --> 00:16:47,214
I'll be happy with that.
292
00:16:47,214 --> 00:16:49,133
I mean, I could cut this bit.
293
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:51,343
Yeah, perfect.
294
00:16:51,343 --> 00:16:52,845
Perfect, man.
295
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:55,431
{\an8}What you need to do
is go get your stance,
296
00:16:55,431 --> 00:16:57,766
{\an8}- 'cause it's gonna get very hard.
- Yeah.
297
00:16:57,766 --> 00:17:01,979
See, that's better, right?
But the question is, is it functional?
298
00:17:01,979 --> 00:17:04,982
- When you bounce around?
- It is functional.
299
00:17:04,982 --> 00:17:08,235
You can take stress off,
train and feel confident.
300
00:17:08,235 --> 00:17:09,653
That's it. That's all I need.
301
00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:12,698
He's gonna have to have this for training.
302
00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:15,075
This is gonna keep coming back
if he doesn't.
303
00:17:15,075 --> 00:17:17,995
This gives some confidence to know
there's an adjustment we have to do
304
00:17:17,995 --> 00:17:19,580
from an ongoing perspective,
305
00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:22,958
what we've been training,
this gives us all the tools we need.
306
00:17:22,958 --> 00:17:25,335
He's exposing it to what got you here
in the first place,
307
00:17:25,335 --> 00:17:27,755
so this is, going forward,
308
00:17:27,755 --> 00:17:30,340
- stuff he should work on.
- No problem.
309
00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:32,051
Thank you so much.
310
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:34,219
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
311
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:36,096
Two geniuses here.
312
00:17:36,096 --> 00:17:38,265
I wanna be correct going in here.
313
00:17:38,265 --> 00:17:41,602
I'm giving nothing.
I'm not giving an inch with this fight.
314
00:17:41,602 --> 00:17:43,312
There's a lot on the line,
315
00:17:43,312 --> 00:17:46,940
and hopefully in a couple of days,
it'll settle and we'll be good.
316
00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:48,192
But we'll see.
317
00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:00,412
Point out the difference
to the UFC floor.
318
00:18:00,412 --> 00:18:03,248
This is the exact UFC Octagon,
that's the UFC canvas.
319
00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:05,292
How good does that feel?
320
00:18:05,292 --> 00:18:08,087
Doesn't it? Ah! It's unbelievable!
321
00:18:10,172 --> 00:18:12,966
This is the McGregor compound
here in Newport.
322
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:15,302
Look at it. It's a dungeon,
know what I mean?
323
00:18:15,302 --> 00:18:18,931
It's all state-of-the-art equipment,
but it has that feel of hard work.
324
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:21,308
I look forward to coming here
and working hard.
325
00:18:21,308 --> 00:18:25,104
Lovely selection of bags. That is
a real nice selection of bags there.
326
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:28,440
He wanted something
that had all the necessary equipment,
327
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,692
from the Octagon to the heavy bags,
328
00:18:30,692 --> 00:18:33,695
{\an8}but he also wanted it to be real,
he didn't want it to be dressed up
329
00:18:33,695 --> 00:18:36,698
to make it look like
it was some palatial space
330
00:18:36,698 --> 00:18:39,576
that he was coming in to lounge.
He was coming in to get working.
331
00:18:39,576 --> 00:18:43,080
{\an8}Blown away by it, to be honest with you.
Everything that we need is here.
332
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,458
{\an8}Plus, he's happy,
and that's the biggest thing.
333
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:49,044
You can hear him in the background
being happy, yeah?
334
00:18:49,044 --> 00:18:50,337
It's perfect.
335
00:18:50,337 --> 00:18:52,631
It's mad, like an up and down game.
336
00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:56,760
Not just fighting, you know, life,
it's an up and down mental game.
337
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,181
Good to get here, good to see the gym,
good to talk to the doc,
338
00:19:01,181 --> 00:19:04,226
good to feel a plan
is in place for that final stage.
339
00:19:04,226 --> 00:19:08,313
I'm just thinking, I need to get
this recovery time right.
340
00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:10,107
I need to take this and enjoy this.
341
00:19:10,107 --> 00:19:12,609
That's when I switched,
before I came here,
342
00:19:12,609 --> 00:19:15,487
and this is sending me
like a rocket to the moon.
343
00:19:15,487 --> 00:19:17,823
And then the fight's handy.
344
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:19,950
With the prep, the fight's handy.
345
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:22,077
So, good day, good day today.
346
00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:36,592
Getting sent pictures of the kids.
347
00:19:36,592 --> 00:19:39,761
- How are they?
- They're just after having baths.
348
00:19:41,346 --> 00:19:44,808
{\an8}Conor's at a state
where he's grown into this man,
349
00:19:44,808 --> 00:19:46,310
{\an8}into this father...
350
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:47,811
That's a good start.
351
00:19:50,689 --> 00:19:53,483
But right now, the focus is on the fight.
352
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,613
And if he wants to be at his best,
353
00:19:57,613 --> 00:20:00,532
he feels he needs that singular focus.
354
00:20:00,532 --> 00:20:02,993
So, it was the family's decision
355
00:20:02,993 --> 00:20:05,078
that they stay home in Ireland,
356
00:20:05,078 --> 00:20:07,539
but then meet up right after the fight.
357
00:20:08,123 --> 00:20:12,127
And I think that it will allow him
to feel that energy, that vibe
358
00:20:12,127 --> 00:20:15,172
that he needs to go in there
and be the best version of himself
359
00:20:15,172 --> 00:20:17,090
come fight night.
360
00:20:36,318 --> 00:20:38,153
{\an8} It got very real very quickly.
361
00:20:38,153 --> 00:20:40,364
{\an8}There's five weeks to go.
362
00:20:40,364 --> 00:20:43,992
{\an8}We've come with a different approach
to put the pressure on Poirier.
363
00:20:43,992 --> 00:20:45,869
He's going with a boxing mentality,
364
00:20:45,869 --> 00:20:47,996
thinking you'll do the same,
some leg kicks--
365
00:20:47,996 --> 00:20:50,666
- Then suddenly, whop, wonky.
- Yeah.
366
00:20:51,291 --> 00:20:54,169
What have we changed?
I would say variety.
367
00:20:54,169 --> 00:20:57,839
We're gonna see a much more
expansive range of techniques.
368
00:20:58,382 --> 00:21:02,344
The mixed martial artist is here,
and he's here to win.
369
00:21:09,184 --> 00:21:10,352
That one's high.
370
00:21:10,352 --> 00:21:12,646
Keep your leg a little bit
in the kicking range.
371
00:21:12,646 --> 00:21:15,524
Keep your center straight,
move your leg back nice and fast.
372
00:21:15,524 --> 00:21:18,694
Put a jab or stutter-step
your way in, it's all good.
373
00:21:22,239 --> 00:21:25,617
Getting light on the feet.
Finding the left leg.
374
00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:27,369
Not damaging it.
375
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:29,621
All I need is the target.
376
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:36,295
Got to get your body strong
to be in this game,
377
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:38,755
for this long, at this level.
378
00:21:38,755 --> 00:21:41,091
So rehabilitation work,
379
00:21:41,091 --> 00:21:43,218
you've gotta become a master at it.
380
00:21:43,218 --> 00:21:45,470
Otherwise,
381
00:21:45,470 --> 00:21:47,723
you'll be here today, gone tomorrow.
382
00:21:49,057 --> 00:21:51,727
This one's one of my favorites.
383
00:21:52,436 --> 00:21:53,812
Thank you. Thanks so much.
384
00:21:53,812 --> 00:21:56,690
Got your whiskey back at the house.
I'm gonna drink it tonight.
385
00:21:56,690 --> 00:21:58,942
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
386
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:02,946
I'm not gonna rush now, cracking him.
387
00:22:02,946 --> 00:22:05,782
I'm gonna crack him, get in,
put it in his face!
388
00:22:05,782 --> 00:22:07,951
I know he's gonna do that.
389
00:22:07,951 --> 00:22:10,662
Elbow off that, exactly. Bam, bam!
390
00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:12,914
Go straight off. You have the technique.
391
00:22:12,914 --> 00:22:15,375
{\an8}One notable thing, the first time,
392
00:22:15,375 --> 00:22:17,502
{\an8}Dee's not here and the kids.
393
00:22:17,502 --> 00:22:20,464
The fact she's not here, I think,
does him a favor.
394
00:22:20,964 --> 00:22:24,968
{\an8}Definitely more testosterone in the air.
395
00:22:24,968 --> 00:22:27,971
There's definitely more aggression,
396
00:22:27,971 --> 00:22:29,681
but that increased aggression
397
00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:32,434
is a very good thing
for the fight environment.
398
00:22:32,434 --> 00:22:35,312
Beautiful knockout.
There's going to be a devastating victory.
399
00:22:35,312 --> 00:22:36,855
An ass whooping.
400
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:39,649
{\an8}Feeling that longing for his family,
401
00:22:39,649 --> 00:22:42,569
{\an8}that crushes him, but it also fuels him.
402
00:22:42,569 --> 00:22:45,697
It's like you take something away
that someone loves
403
00:22:45,697 --> 00:22:48,492
and it builds this energy
that you wanna have
404
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:50,202
heading into a combat sport.
405
00:22:50,202 --> 00:22:52,329
He's not coming back from this.
406
00:22:52,329 --> 00:22:53,830
This is gonna be a bad one.
407
00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:55,749
Mark me words on that.
408
00:23:00,837 --> 00:23:04,341
You can see the change
in Conor's personality.
409
00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:08,678
He's starting to look more like
that creative, precise killer.
410
00:23:11,056 --> 00:23:12,307
We're ready.
411
00:23:13,391 --> 00:23:15,560
It's just time to go and get it done now.
412
00:23:21,149 --> 00:23:23,318
- The one I hit here.
- Yeah.
413
00:23:23,985 --> 00:23:27,614
I do mix it up sometimes.
I got hit in the knee a few times.
414
00:23:27,614 --> 00:23:29,991
- With that one as well.
- Yeah.
415
00:23:29,991 --> 00:23:32,077
Leg kick.
416
00:23:33,662 --> 00:23:35,580
So I've been training
with no shin pads
417
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:38,834
because the shin pads let me down
the last time in camp because
418
00:23:38,834 --> 00:23:42,170
it felt like I was in a safe place,
taking the kicks in a certain area,
419
00:23:42,170 --> 00:23:44,881
and when you remove the shin pads,
it was way different.
420
00:23:44,881 --> 00:23:47,926
They had a major effect.
I wanna feel the exact feeling
421
00:23:47,926 --> 00:23:49,511
in the leg kicks.
422
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:51,888
Keep them kicks busy, man. Really.
423
00:23:51,888 --> 00:23:54,307
I wanna pump every fucking time...
kick me.
424
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:57,686
- You know? That's on the fourth round.
- Yeah.
425
00:23:59,062 --> 00:24:03,024
{\an8} The nature of the sport
is high impact, high trauma sport.
426
00:24:03,024 --> 00:24:05,735
And after the previous fights,
427
00:24:05,735 --> 00:24:09,239
Conor wanted to spar
without the shin pads.
428
00:24:09,239 --> 00:24:11,616
It's just to see how he would get on.
429
00:24:13,535 --> 00:24:16,913
We're very keen on early rehabilitation.
430
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:19,332
So, have you had the stim before?
431
00:24:19,332 --> 00:24:22,002
- I have had a stim before.
- Perfect.
432
00:24:22,002 --> 00:24:25,714
So, this one's gonna start feeling
like little electrical shocks,
433
00:24:25,714 --> 00:24:28,383
little pulses.
It shouldn't feel painful at all.
434
00:24:28,383 --> 00:24:31,344
At any point,
you can just let me know as I start it up,
435
00:24:31,344 --> 00:24:33,388
if it starts feeling good,
starts feeling too much.
436
00:24:33,388 --> 00:24:35,182
So I'm just gonna leave it there.
437
00:24:35,182 --> 00:24:37,726
Should feel pretty mild as it starts up,
438
00:24:37,726 --> 00:24:39,853
it's going
for about eight minutes...
439
00:24:43,648 --> 00:24:45,650
He's not the same Conor McGregor.
440
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:48,069
Will we ever see Conor
from Conor vs Dustin 1?
441
00:24:48,069 --> 00:24:49,613
Does that guy even remain?
442
00:24:49,613 --> 00:24:51,198
Nobody likes the respectful Conor.
443
00:24:51,198 --> 00:24:53,658
The subdued McGregor
wasn't as fiery coming to the fight.
444
00:24:53,658 --> 00:24:56,036
Conor's killer instinct was
half the battle for him.
445
00:24:56,036 --> 00:24:57,537
Is Conor there mentally?
446
00:24:57,537 --> 00:24:59,664
On Fight Island,
it was an even playing field.
447
00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:03,293
Conor made an even playing field,
he'd grown up and matured.
448
00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:05,462
He's become a pussycat
inside the Octagon.
449
00:25:05,462 --> 00:25:09,466
This time around,
I want the full mink coat out again,
450
00:25:09,466 --> 00:25:12,719
because I believe he needs
to do that to become notorious.
451
00:25:12,719 --> 00:25:15,889
Now we find out
Conor doesn't have his family with him.
452
00:25:15,889 --> 00:25:18,808
He's gonna be calm,
and he's gonna calmly say,
453
00:25:18,808 --> 00:25:20,685
"I'm gonna put you in the fucking ground."
454
00:25:24,397 --> 00:25:26,566
Excellent. Hands down, fists tight.
455
00:25:26,566 --> 00:25:28,818
Conor, I gotta
ask you this question.
456
00:25:28,818 --> 00:25:32,405
Considering all that you've accomplished
in life and career,
457
00:25:32,405 --> 00:25:33,657
why are you here?
458
00:25:33,657 --> 00:25:35,909
Every time I sit in an interview,
459
00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:38,161
it's, "Oh, why are you here?
You've too much money.
460
00:25:38,161 --> 00:25:40,038
You're too successful,
you've done it all."
461
00:25:40,038 --> 00:25:42,249
Blah, blah, blah.
There's a lot more left in me,
462
00:25:42,249 --> 00:25:44,501
I'm still very young,
I'm very fresh in the game,
463
00:25:44,501 --> 00:25:47,587
And I'm a dangerous man, Stephen.
I'm the most dangerous of them all.
464
00:25:47,587 --> 00:25:49,714
Obviously, he's made
a ton of money,
465
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:52,175
maybe the hunger isn't there as much.
What do you think of that?
466
00:25:52,175 --> 00:25:53,760
That makes him more dangerous to me.
467
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,845
He's doing it 'cause he wants to,
not 'cause he has to.
468
00:25:55,845 --> 00:26:00,183
Let's rewind the clock to the sequel.
You were incredibly nice.
469
00:26:00,183 --> 00:26:03,270
that this time.
That's the mindset here.
470
00:26:03,270 --> 00:26:05,855
Obviously, the last one,
you knocked him out cold.
471
00:26:05,855 --> 00:26:07,524
Will that make him hungrier?
472
00:26:07,524 --> 00:26:09,609
He wants that back,
that's what makes him so dangerous.
473
00:26:09,609 --> 00:26:12,821
I break people's faces
for money and bounce.
474
00:26:12,821 --> 00:26:15,949
That's what I do.
Saturday night, I'm gonna do it again.
475
00:26:15,949 --> 00:26:17,826
Excuse me, sir,
that just happened to you.
476
00:26:17,826 --> 00:26:20,245
Yeah, well, here we go again. I'm back.
477
00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:24,374
What's the difference between
Conor McGregor that won in 2014
478
00:26:24,374 --> 00:26:26,501
and Conor McGregor that lost in 2021?
479
00:26:26,501 --> 00:26:29,671
Sure, I lost.
It happened. I'm not a loser.
480
00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:31,631
Sometimes, a defeat is what you need,
481
00:26:31,631 --> 00:26:33,383
a defeat is the secret ingredient
to success.
482
00:26:33,383 --> 00:26:36,052
When this fight is over,
what will we walk away
483
00:26:36,052 --> 00:26:37,929
saying about Conor McGregor?
484
00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:40,557
The greatest of all time,
what a dangerous man.
485
00:26:40,557 --> 00:26:42,475
Shouldn't have doubted him.
486
00:26:42,475 --> 00:26:45,395
I'm gonna be doing it
for a long, long time yet.
487
00:26:45,395 --> 00:26:49,190
When you say a long, long time,
you're 32, how long are we talking?
488
00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:53,111
Three hundred and thirty-two.
I'm doing this until the day I go out.
489
00:26:54,696 --> 00:26:58,950
This game is mine.
This city, Las Vegas, is mine.
490
00:26:58,950 --> 00:27:02,245
This world is mine.
Saturday night, I'm gonna show that.
491
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:06,708
I'm sure he's going out there
with something to prove.
492
00:27:07,834 --> 00:27:09,669
Come and get it.
493
00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:13,340
I'm coming in
with vicious intent here.
494
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:17,177
Murder shots. KO, out on a stretcher.
495
00:27:17,677 --> 00:27:19,763
Know what I mean?
I'm coming in to kill this man.
496
00:27:24,601 --> 00:27:27,979
Dustin, you said
Conor had kinda lost his aura,
497
00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:30,690
but I wonder, this is
an entirely different environment, right?
498
00:27:30,690 --> 00:27:33,318
We're talking sold out,
bunch of Irish flags everywhere.
499
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:36,237
Has the challenge changed for you
because of this?
500
00:27:36,237 --> 00:27:38,490
Not anymore, I...
501
00:27:40,575 --> 00:27:43,995
You know, you guys in the crowd,
cheer it up, have fun.
502
00:27:43,995 --> 00:27:45,872
But I see a man
in front of me that I defeated
503
00:27:45,872 --> 00:27:47,582
and I know I can defeat again.
504
00:27:47,582 --> 00:27:51,836
You're getting walked like a dog
in that Octagon on Saturday night.
505
00:27:54,589 --> 00:27:57,926
It's getting kinda ugly again.
Is this personal for you, at this point?
506
00:27:57,926 --> 00:28:00,553
Nah. It's straight business, man.
This is--
507
00:28:00,553 --> 00:28:02,430
You're only a little bitch.
508
00:28:05,308 --> 00:28:08,019
Your wife is your husband!
509
00:28:10,146 --> 00:28:13,858
You're a little bitch of a thing,
a silly little hillbilly.
510
00:28:14,651 --> 00:28:18,405
You used to be a lot better than that.
The trash talk was better than that.
511
00:28:18,405 --> 00:28:21,116
Yeah. Shut your mouth.
I'm gonna dance on your head.
512
00:28:21,116 --> 00:28:23,701
He's done here. This is it for him.
513
00:28:23,701 --> 00:28:25,370
This is the end of the road.
514
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:26,496
So, it's on now.
515
00:28:26,496 --> 00:28:29,249
Saturday night, he's getting walked
around that Octagon like a dog
516
00:28:29,249 --> 00:28:30,750
and put to sleep.
517
00:28:32,419 --> 00:28:35,964
Conor, in the build up to the last fight,
you were unusually kind to Dustin.
518
00:28:35,964 --> 00:28:37,882
Now, on fight week,
it's the exact opposite.
519
00:28:37,882 --> 00:28:39,259
Where did the switch happen?
520
00:28:39,259 --> 00:28:41,177
Because he got knocked
the fuck out.
521
00:28:42,929 --> 00:28:46,891
Conor, win or lose,
do you respect Dustin Poirier
522
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:49,227
no matter what happens on Saturday night?
523
00:28:49,227 --> 00:28:51,521
I don't give a fuck about him,
to be honest.
524
00:28:51,521 --> 00:28:53,440
I don't give a rat's ass about him.
525
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,652
It was a fluke win and I'm going
to correct it on Saturday night.
526
00:28:59,612 --> 00:29:01,990
Thank you. We'll see you
at the weigh-ins tomorrow.
527
00:29:29,684 --> 00:29:33,980
We got the serious, hardcore,
ready-to-win Conor McGregor back,
528
00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:37,442
with the mind games that are played
leading up to the fight.
529
00:29:37,442 --> 00:29:40,153
He's the absolute best in the world at it.
530
00:29:40,153 --> 00:29:42,739
If he wins,
he's in line for a title shot,
531
00:29:42,739 --> 00:29:44,741
he could be the world champion again.
532
00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:47,202
They were buddy-buddy last time.
533
00:29:47,202 --> 00:29:48,870
The noise disappeared.
534
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:50,789
But that didn't work for him.
535
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:52,332
Anger with a purpose,
536
00:29:52,332 --> 00:29:54,501
something to overcome.
537
00:29:54,501 --> 00:29:56,628
That's his lift.
538
00:29:56,628 --> 00:30:00,340
He's the villain,
and it's glad to see villain Conor back.
539
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:03,259
Four pounds to go.
540
00:30:03,259 --> 00:30:05,011
If you go back to UFC 205,
541
00:30:05,011 --> 00:30:07,722
he was a double champion,
he had all the potential in the world.
542
00:30:07,722 --> 00:30:09,808
What is this guy going to accomplish?
543
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:11,851
Is he going to get back to that guy?
544
00:30:11,851 --> 00:30:14,813
Is he going to realize
the potential that we saw at UFC 205?
545
00:30:16,356 --> 00:30:18,942
- One fifty-six on the dot.
- Perfect.
546
00:30:19,526 --> 00:30:22,070
Why is he back? For one reason.
547
00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:23,696
He's back for legacy,
548
00:30:23,696 --> 00:30:26,324
he's back to prove that
he's one of the greatest of all time.
549
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:27,826
If Dustin wins?
550
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:31,329
For Conor McGregor,
is that him done in the UFC?
551
00:30:31,329 --> 00:30:33,081
Conor's got nowhere else to go.
552
00:30:33,081 --> 00:30:35,959
If he doesn't beat Dustin,
if he doesn't win this fight,
553
00:30:35,959 --> 00:30:38,878
where does he go from there,
with all due respect?
554
00:30:38,878 --> 00:30:42,257
You gotta find a way to get back
to whatever it was that you had
555
00:30:42,257 --> 00:30:44,259
when you were winning all of those fights.
556
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:53,560
When people ask you about
pressure you face in your life and career,
557
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,646
you always say you enjoy that pressure.
What pressure?
558
00:30:56,646 --> 00:30:59,816
Maybe previous,
when all the stuff was going on,
559
00:30:59,816 --> 00:31:03,236
all the world tours I went on,
amount of media obligations,
560
00:31:03,236 --> 00:31:07,699
the amount of times I felt like
I was a monkey in the zoo,
561
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:12,036
locked in a cage, and they feed me
a banana and tell me to dance.
562
00:31:15,874 --> 00:31:18,418
Now what I'm doing this for
is finally here.
563
00:31:18,418 --> 00:31:20,128
I'm not doing this for this.
564
00:31:20,128 --> 00:31:22,380
I'm not doing this for fake acting,
565
00:31:22,380 --> 00:31:26,676
trying to give emotion to some guy
that wants emotion from me for a shot.
566
00:31:26,676 --> 00:31:28,845
I can't do that. I don't do this for that.
567
00:31:30,471 --> 00:31:32,724
I do it for the competition.
568
00:31:33,933 --> 00:31:35,560
To step foot inside that Octagon.
569
00:31:39,981 --> 00:31:42,275
Someone asked me what it's like
when I make that walk,
570
00:31:42,275 --> 00:31:44,235
when you walk into that arena.
571
00:31:44,235 --> 00:31:46,446
When I walk out to that arena,
572
00:31:46,446 --> 00:31:49,782
I honestly feel
like I'm unshackling chains off me.
573
00:31:49,782 --> 00:31:52,994
I feel like I'm chained,
I'm carrying a cross or something.
574
00:31:52,994 --> 00:31:56,497
Then when I get to that Octagon,
I'm peeling it all off.
575
00:31:56,497 --> 00:31:58,750
When I finally step foot in that Octagon,
576
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:01,127
place my bare feet
on special UFC canvas,
577
00:32:01,127 --> 00:32:03,254
I feel free.
578
00:32:06,132 --> 00:32:08,384
That is why I say
I don't feel pressure in there.
579
00:32:08,384 --> 00:32:10,887
I do not. I feel free in there.
580
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:18,519
You're giving everything you've got.
You're in there to die,
581
00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:21,356
you're prepared to die in there.
I am prepared to die in there.
582
00:32:21,356 --> 00:32:23,483
And I'm also prepared to kill in there.
583
00:32:50,677 --> 00:32:54,430
{\an8}I remind him every day,
you don't have to do this ever again.
584
00:32:54,430 --> 00:32:57,141
{\an8}You don't have anything to prove
ever again.
585
00:32:58,768 --> 00:33:02,814
{\an8}"I have something to prove to myself,"
is the answer that I get from him.
586
00:33:09,654 --> 00:33:13,324
{\an8} He has an incredible vision
of what he can achieve.
587
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:17,620
{\an8}It's his belief in himself
and his lack of limitations
588
00:33:17,620 --> 00:33:20,206
{\an8}that allows him to do these things.
589
00:33:22,709 --> 00:33:25,837
There's a saying, "reasonable men
never achieved anything,"
590
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:29,215
and Conor's a very unreasonable man.
591
00:33:36,639 --> 00:33:40,393
{\an8} Most people don't have
the guts to put it all on the line.
592
00:33:40,393 --> 00:33:44,731
{\an8}To say what they're going to do
and be brash and confident about it.
593
00:33:45,314 --> 00:33:49,152
These are unique characters
that come every once in a lifetime.
594
00:33:49,861 --> 00:33:53,614
And if you're lucky enough
to be living in that era,
595
00:33:53,614 --> 00:33:57,994
you're gonna get the opportunity
to experience something.
596
00:33:57,994 --> 00:34:01,831
We call them the unicorns.
He is one of them.
597
00:34:01,831 --> 00:34:03,541
There will be more.
598
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:05,460
Will there be another
that does like it Conor?
599
00:34:05,460 --> 00:34:07,128
I don't think so.
600
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:14,635
We've been over the rules.
We're gonna have a clean fight.
601
00:34:14,635 --> 00:34:16,471
Touch gloves if you wish at this time.
602
00:34:16,471 --> 00:34:18,139
Let's do it.
603
00:34:27,482 --> 00:34:31,152
McGregor, two turning sidekicks
to the body in a row.
604
00:34:32,361 --> 00:34:33,780
- Beautiful!
- Oh!
605
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:40,078
Oh, he stunned him
with that left hand.
606
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:42,705
He's gotten out ahead of Dustin
a little bit.
607
00:34:58,971 --> 00:35:01,557
Poirier landed
a nasty left hand there.
608
00:35:01,557 --> 00:35:03,559
Furious start.
609
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:05,061
Oh!
610
00:35:06,187 --> 00:35:08,564
Oh! Oh, he's got a guillotine here.
611
00:35:17,156 --> 00:35:18,825
He's only got one arm now.
612
00:35:18,825 --> 00:35:21,035
- He's getting up.
- Poirier's fine.
613
00:35:23,329 --> 00:35:25,706
Big elbow by Dustin.
614
00:35:28,376 --> 00:35:31,129
- Solid elbows.
- Big elbows by Conor.
615
00:35:31,129 --> 00:35:32,797
Make space for the shins! Yes!
616
00:35:34,173 --> 00:35:37,510
Now Poirier throwing
massive elbows of his own.
617
00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:39,679
My goodness, this pace is crazy.
618
00:35:40,263 --> 00:35:43,141
- Oh!
- Dustin's dropping bombs!
619
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:45,143
Keep that foot under him!
620
00:35:50,523 --> 00:35:53,484
That's a big right-hand shot
from Poirier!
621
00:35:58,614 --> 00:36:00,908
Oh, big up-kick!
622
00:36:00,908 --> 00:36:03,035
- That was a big up-kick!
- That one landed!
623
00:36:03,035 --> 00:36:04,912
But Dustin's right back on top of him.
624
00:36:04,912 --> 00:36:07,290
- Oh!
- Oh!
625
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:09,125
Dustin's dropping bombs!
626
00:36:17,049 --> 00:36:19,427
- Now McGregor back to his feet.
- Yes!
627
00:36:32,732 --> 00:36:35,526
Oh!
628
00:36:39,822 --> 00:36:42,783
When you hear
the ten-second warning,
629
00:36:42,783 --> 00:36:45,036
{\an8}you start making your way to the cage.
630
00:36:45,036 --> 00:36:49,165
{\an8}Already, in my head, I kinda had
my 30-second speech ready.
631
00:36:50,374 --> 00:36:53,211
And then it kinda happened
in that time period.
632
00:36:54,003 --> 00:36:55,463
Why's he still sitting down?
633
00:36:55,463 --> 00:36:57,882
I make my way towards him, he looks up...
634
00:36:57,882 --> 00:37:02,678
foot's broken... And then we see this
misshapen ankle and it's like, "Oh, no."
635
00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:05,723
- He broke his ankle!
- His leg's broken!
636
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:07,183
Oh, no!
637
00:37:08,226 --> 00:37:11,187
You could just see it,
he was so devastated.
638
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,951
And that devastation
turned just into anger.
639
00:37:24,951 --> 00:37:26,744
- He was so annoyed.
640
00:37:26,744 --> 00:37:28,746
Well, I'm rendered speechless.
641
00:37:28,746 --> 00:37:30,539
Not the stoppage!
642
00:37:30,539 --> 00:37:32,375
You tell him not the stoppage!
643
00:37:32,959 --> 00:37:36,045
Declaring the winner, by TKO,
644
00:37:36,045 --> 00:37:39,173
Dustin "The Diamond"
645
00:37:39,173 --> 00:37:43,052
Poirier!
646
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,848
Nobody wants to be standing
beside your friend,
647
00:37:47,848 --> 00:37:50,059
his leg is broken,
648
00:37:50,059 --> 00:37:54,063
and everything he's trained for
gets taken away from him.
649
00:37:54,063 --> 00:37:55,940
That's definitely a hard one to take.
650
00:38:03,531 --> 00:38:05,116
It was surreal.
651
00:38:06,325 --> 00:38:08,828
I was like, is this happening right now?
652
00:38:10,037 --> 00:38:12,331
I was like, that can't be real.
653
00:38:22,842 --> 00:38:24,468
This way, right here.
654
00:38:32,893 --> 00:38:35,354
Well, that was...
655
00:38:35,354 --> 00:38:39,650
one of the most unfortunate accidents
that ended a fight.
656
00:38:40,484 --> 00:38:42,945
It's like... What can you say?
657
00:38:48,409 --> 00:38:51,287
- UMC? You're going to...?
658
00:38:51,287 --> 00:38:54,290
{\an8}Hospital. It was not...
It was not a sprained ankle.
659
00:38:54,290 --> 00:38:58,210
{\an8}It's not like he had a recurring,
unstable ankle.
660
00:38:58,210 --> 00:39:00,129
{\an8}That's not what he was wrapping it for.
661
00:39:00,129 --> 00:39:03,049
He was wrapping it
so that it dispersed it.
662
00:39:05,134 --> 00:39:07,219
We probably need...
663
00:39:07,678 --> 00:39:08,637
Immediately.
664
00:39:08,637 --> 00:39:10,514
- See how much swelling there is.
- Yeah.
665
00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:20,399
Dustin Poirier defeats Conor McGregor
666
00:39:20,399 --> 00:39:23,694
via TKO doctor stoppage.
667
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:25,154
First round, doctor stoppage...
668
00:39:25,154 --> 00:39:28,324
I think Conor put up
almost a rabid-level fight.
669
00:39:28,324 --> 00:39:31,118
Conor McGregor had a phenomenal game plan.
670
00:39:31,118 --> 00:39:32,995
Chewing up the legs of Dustin Poirier...
671
00:39:32,995 --> 00:39:36,123
Dustin Poirier was winning
that fight, easily.
672
00:39:36,123 --> 00:39:37,541
He was beating him, okay?
673
00:39:37,541 --> 00:39:39,835
On the ground, Conor was bleeding.
674
00:39:39,835 --> 00:39:42,630
There's a lot of questions about what
would happen if Conor didn't get hurt.
675
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:45,383
Conor could've had
a very strong second round.
676
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:47,593
He won a fight against Conor McGregor
677
00:39:47,593 --> 00:39:50,096
by McGregor stepping funny on his leg
678
00:39:50,096 --> 00:39:51,472
and it snapping in half.
679
00:39:51,472 --> 00:39:55,309
It snapped. I'm talking about
tibia and fibula, snapped.
680
00:39:55,309 --> 00:39:57,645
Oh, man, it looked like, just...
681
00:39:57,645 --> 00:40:00,272
This one of them freak accidents...
682
00:40:00,272 --> 00:40:02,525
- Conor's facing a long rehab.
- Yes.
683
00:40:02,525 --> 00:40:05,486
- Is Conor McGregor done?
- I think yes.
684
00:40:05,486 --> 00:40:08,114
We'll probably never see
Conor fight in the cage again.
685
00:40:17,331 --> 00:40:20,418
Okay, so,
that's the side view of your ankle.
686
00:40:24,171 --> 00:40:26,006
- Fibula.
- In half.
687
00:40:26,006 --> 00:40:27,591
So, tibia and fibula?
688
00:40:27,591 --> 00:40:29,969
The tibia was in four pieces,
689
00:40:29,969 --> 00:40:32,388
fibula cracked like that.
690
00:40:34,723 --> 00:40:37,101
You wanna see the thing that I love?
691
00:40:37,643 --> 00:40:41,397
- The job?
- Oh. Look at how perfect that is.
692
00:40:42,189 --> 00:40:45,151
All that smashed stuff is now...
693
00:40:45,151 --> 00:40:47,027
looks like a normal joint.
694
00:40:48,154 --> 00:40:50,156
It's only gonna get better,
isn't that right?
695
00:40:50,156 --> 00:40:53,325
- It's gonna get better.
- This is the worst of everything.
696
00:40:53,325 --> 00:40:56,954
I'm on all the pain medication.
I'm moving into a new thing.
697
00:40:56,954 --> 00:41:00,416
This is gonna be a little bit
of a rocky road early on,
698
00:41:00,416 --> 00:41:02,626
and then once you get going again,
699
00:41:02,626 --> 00:41:06,797
Conor, then all of a sudden,
you'll feel more like yourself again.
700
00:41:06,797 --> 00:41:09,300
- But, um...
- When do you think I'll be
701
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:11,594
ready to go again?
702
00:41:11,594 --> 00:41:15,055
I think that...
you're gonna be able to start training,
703
00:41:15,055 --> 00:41:18,058
not kicking, but training,
probably six months.
704
00:41:18,058 --> 00:41:22,062
I won't be able to train until six months,
though I'll be off a crutch at six weeks?
705
00:41:22,062 --> 00:41:25,441
You'll be exercising, rehabbing.
Training like you train,
706
00:41:25,441 --> 00:41:29,028
simulating kicking and punching the bag,
707
00:41:29,028 --> 00:41:32,531
and things like that,
I would bet it's gonna be about six.
708
00:41:32,531 --> 00:41:35,910
Okay, that's for an intense training
regimen. What about...
709
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:37,786
other training, when do you think?
710
00:41:37,786 --> 00:41:41,415
I know you've been enjoying
the biking and things like that
711
00:41:41,415 --> 00:41:44,084
you were doing in Orange County,
you'll be doing that
712
00:41:44,084 --> 00:41:47,254
probably just, maybe, two months,
eight weeks from now.
713
00:41:47,254 --> 00:41:49,882
I'd be able to that?
That would be amazing
714
00:41:49,882 --> 00:41:52,259
because I can get real work done there
715
00:41:52,259 --> 00:41:55,012
and I can also build
the strength back up in my leg.
716
00:41:55,012 --> 00:41:57,973
So that will definitely tide me over.
717
00:41:57,973 --> 00:41:59,350
Yeah.
718
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:02,353
When d'you think
I'll be able to fight? A year?
719
00:42:02,353 --> 00:42:05,439
Yeah, I think...
I think ten months to a year.
720
00:42:06,565 --> 00:42:10,402
Let's face it, when you get in there,
you're gonna wanna be...
721
00:42:10,402 --> 00:42:14,031
You don't wanna be compromised,
you don't wanna be restricted,
722
00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:16,492
you wanna be full go, everything goes.
723
00:42:16,492 --> 00:42:18,869
- And I think it's gonna take that long.
- Mm.
724
00:42:18,869 --> 00:42:22,248
I appreciate you, doc, man.
I really, really do.
725
00:42:24,250 --> 00:42:26,835
See you soon.
Have a good night. Nice to see you.
726
00:42:26,835 --> 00:42:28,963
- See you later. Good to see you.
- Nice to see you again.
727
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:47,189
How are you doing today?
728
00:42:47,189 --> 00:42:48,607
A little bit sore, so...
729
00:42:48,607 --> 00:42:51,193
It's alright...
but it's been...
730
00:42:51,193 --> 00:42:53,571
Fells like it's getting grayer in here.
731
00:42:53,571 --> 00:42:55,823
Lights are off.
Want me to turn them on?
732
00:42:55,823 --> 00:42:57,533
No, not with the light.
733
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,289
It's, like, up and down.
You know what I mean?
734
00:43:03,289 --> 00:43:05,124
I find myself up, buzzy, over it.
735
00:43:05,124 --> 00:43:08,627
And then I find myself
in a bad way over it.
736
00:43:08,627 --> 00:43:10,546
So, it's just about
737
00:43:10,546 --> 00:43:13,465
managing the way of...
738
00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:16,010
how good.
739
00:43:16,552 --> 00:43:18,971
Comes with the fuckin' territory,
doesn't it?
740
00:43:19,722 --> 00:43:21,974
Couple of weeks, I'll be all right.
741
00:43:40,326 --> 00:43:42,703
It's time to accept reality
for McGregor fans,
742
00:43:42,703 --> 00:43:44,830
and most importantly
for McGregor himself.
743
00:43:44,830 --> 00:43:47,291
Is Conor McGregor done?
744
00:43:47,291 --> 00:43:49,501
When you look at the career
745
00:43:49,501 --> 00:43:53,047
of Conor McGregor,
it's going to be before Floyd
746
00:43:53,047 --> 00:43:54,715
and after Floyd.
747
00:43:54,715 --> 00:43:57,301
A man who's aged, who's simply...
748
00:43:57,301 --> 00:44:00,179
Conor was on fucking welfare,
749
00:44:00,179 --> 00:44:03,057
and look at him how many years later?
750
00:44:03,057 --> 00:44:06,685
What is it, six or seven years?
Little more, seven or eight years.
751
00:44:06,685 --> 00:44:09,647
Multiple weight class titles,
he became a worldwide celebrity.
752
00:44:09,647 --> 00:44:12,399
At some point in time,
you're like, "You know what?
753
00:44:12,399 --> 00:44:15,861
My heart is not in it to do this anymore."
754
00:44:15,861 --> 00:44:20,199
I've questioned every single day
why this fucking guy is still fighting.
755
00:44:20,199 --> 00:44:22,326
Why're you fighting? What's the point?
756
00:44:22,326 --> 00:44:24,536
Just ride off into the sunset, my friend.
757
00:44:28,165 --> 00:44:30,125
It was a tough area, where I grew up.
758
00:44:30,125 --> 00:44:31,877
You just had to be able to
defend yourself,
759
00:44:31,877 --> 00:44:36,090
not that I couldn't fight,
but I would more be afraid of situations.
760
00:44:36,090 --> 00:44:39,927
If something happened, I was like...
I realized I was getting these nerves,
761
00:44:39,927 --> 00:44:42,304
and I was like,
they're a weird emotion I just had.
762
00:44:49,561 --> 00:44:52,064
Ultimately, that was what
drove me to combat sport.
763
00:44:52,064 --> 00:44:55,692
To be able to be comfortable
in an uncomfortable situation.
764
00:45:01,365 --> 00:45:04,493
I suppose all of these things combined,
doing these things as a kid,
765
00:45:04,493 --> 00:45:08,163
feeling these emotions, have just led me
to get to that better stage.
766
00:45:08,163 --> 00:45:10,749
But again, there is no limit to this.
767
00:45:10,749 --> 00:45:13,669
I'm gonna keep on going...
I don't know when I can stop.
768
00:45:24,596 --> 00:45:27,975
You know,
it's a high-pressure situation,
769
00:45:27,975 --> 00:45:30,727
this life, I suppose.
770
00:45:30,727 --> 00:45:34,815
It's just about coming in, enjoying it,
getting your work in, being committed.
771
00:45:35,774 --> 00:45:38,527
You know, I thrive under these conditions,
772
00:45:38,527 --> 00:45:40,446
in all aspects of my life.
773
00:45:41,321 --> 00:45:45,033
It builds character.
It makes me stronger.
774
00:45:45,033 --> 00:45:46,994
There's no question about it.
775
00:45:46,994 --> 00:45:49,997
All that I've faced in me life
has made me who I am.
776
00:45:51,915 --> 00:45:55,586
There may be a time
where I actually cannot fucking do this.
777
00:45:55,586 --> 00:45:58,255
You know, if that day comes,
778
00:45:58,255 --> 00:46:01,467
I don't really feel it will come.
I'll find a way.
779
00:46:04,303 --> 00:46:07,473
It is still gonna be
non-weight bearing for about six weeks.
780
00:46:08,265 --> 00:46:11,059
The question is, do you get
the regular pedicures?
781
00:46:11,059 --> 00:46:13,770
No, I haven't.
I've been thinking about it.
782
00:46:13,770 --> 00:46:16,315
- Definitely have to change that.
783
00:46:16,315 --> 00:46:19,318
{\an8}At the end of the day,
he's a mortal man.
784
00:46:19,318 --> 00:46:21,778
He definitely can't do this forever.
785
00:46:21,778 --> 00:46:24,531
But he still wants to compete.
786
00:46:25,949 --> 00:46:28,994
It's not about the fame,
it's not about the fortune,
787
00:46:28,994 --> 00:46:31,788
it is because he has that drive
788
00:46:31,788 --> 00:46:35,292
to continue to prove himself.
789
00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:38,754
That's how he took the world by storm.
790
00:46:38,754 --> 00:46:41,048
- Good. You all right?
- Yeah.
791
00:46:41,048 --> 00:46:45,427
So now, it's just another chapter
in his own life and career,
792
00:46:45,427 --> 00:46:50,224
and the story's being told
and it will unfold right before our eyes.
793
00:46:50,224 --> 00:46:55,145
It's looking promising
for getting back in training again.
794
00:46:56,897 --> 00:46:59,107
Back in no time.
795
00:46:59,107 --> 00:47:02,027
Where's that Brazilian at?
796
00:47:02,027 --> 00:47:05,030
{\an8} Certainly with Conor,
he has shown himself to be somebody
797
00:47:05,030 --> 00:47:08,867
{\an8}that long after
any financial incentive was there,
798
00:47:08,867 --> 00:47:10,911
he is still doing it.
799
00:47:10,911 --> 00:47:13,080
Ah.
800
00:47:15,123 --> 00:47:16,792
- Welcome back.
- Welcome back.
801
00:47:16,792 --> 00:47:18,460
Welcome back.
802
00:47:18,460 --> 00:47:19,795
Yes!
803
00:47:19,795 --> 00:47:23,173
I would challenge anybody
to give me a better reason,
804
00:47:23,173 --> 00:47:27,261
a better explanation
other than he clearly loves it.
805
00:47:27,261 --> 00:47:29,054
It's his passion.
806
00:47:29,054 --> 00:47:31,515
It's his love
for the thrill of competition.
807
00:47:31,515 --> 00:47:34,309
The enjoyment of the activity,
808
00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:36,061
the enjoyment of the sport,
809
00:47:36,061 --> 00:47:38,730
that has not waned, it's not gone away.
810
00:47:38,730 --> 00:47:41,483
If anything,
the power seems to be growing.
811
00:47:41,483 --> 00:47:42,901
Yes.
812
00:47:42,901 --> 00:47:45,988
There's always a way. Always a way.
813
00:47:45,988 --> 00:47:47,948
If you're willing,
814
00:47:47,948 --> 00:47:49,449
you're also able,
815
00:47:49,449 --> 00:47:51,910
and I'm more than fucking willing.
816
00:47:55,789 --> 00:47:59,084
{\an8} From day one,
he just always had that belief in himself.
817
00:47:59,084 --> 00:48:01,003
He'll say something,
818
00:48:01,003 --> 00:48:03,130
lets everybody know he's gonna do it,
819
00:48:03,130 --> 00:48:05,173
and he'll be brave enough to go after it,
820
00:48:05,173 --> 00:48:08,719
whether it's fighting,
whether it's business...
821
00:48:09,761 --> 00:48:12,556
{\an8} Conor McGregor
just sold the majority of Proper 12
822
00:48:12,556 --> 00:48:14,933
{\an8}for $600 million.
823
00:48:14,933 --> 00:48:17,603
{\an8} Conor McGregor
was the highest paid athlete
824
00:48:17,603 --> 00:48:20,355
{\an8}in 2021.
825
00:48:21,106 --> 00:48:23,984
I know I'm a made man.
I know I'm set.
826
00:48:23,984 --> 00:48:25,777
It's nice having that in the back pocket.
827
00:48:25,777 --> 00:48:28,947
It makes me, like, "Yeah, lovely.
You're damn right, I'm a made man.
828
00:48:28,947 --> 00:48:31,033
You're damn right I'm set."
829
00:48:31,033 --> 00:48:33,201
I'm extremely grateful for it.
830
00:48:33,201 --> 00:48:35,662
I'm proud of my life
and what I've done.
831
00:48:35,662 --> 00:48:37,623
I'm motivated to keep going,
832
00:48:37,623 --> 00:48:40,417
but I'm a competitor,
through and through.
833
00:48:40,417 --> 00:48:43,503
I'm at my best when I'm in competition.
834
00:48:44,755 --> 00:48:48,050
I'm gonna fight for me,
for my enjoyment and my love of it.
835
00:48:48,050 --> 00:48:50,802
For the love of being
in great physical condition,
836
00:48:50,802 --> 00:48:52,638
in body and mind.
837
00:48:52,638 --> 00:48:55,724
For the love of giving entertainment
to the fans
838
00:48:55,724 --> 00:48:58,310
and the people that support me,
do or die.
839
00:48:58,310 --> 00:49:01,563
- Through it all, the fans support me.
- I love you, Conor!
840
00:49:03,523 --> 00:49:05,942
Most days back smiling, yeah?
841
00:49:05,942 --> 00:49:07,611
Feel pretty good, though.
842
00:49:07,611 --> 00:49:10,197
So, well ready, well up for it.
843
00:49:11,573 --> 00:49:14,117
My legacy is already set in stone.
844
00:49:14,117 --> 00:49:16,745
I broke the game
before I was 30 years of age.
845
00:49:16,745 --> 00:49:20,207
Mr. McGregor, let's do this.
846
00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:23,752
I've been fighting my entire life.
847
00:49:23,752 --> 00:49:25,671
I just wanna compete,
I wanna do what I love to do,
848
00:49:25,671 --> 00:49:28,048
and I will continue to do so.
849
00:49:29,925 --> 00:49:32,177
{\an8}It's what I was put here to do.
850
00:49:41,353 --> 00:49:43,397
That's what I've been doing,
I've been just figuring out
851
00:49:43,397 --> 00:49:45,273
more and more stuff about myself.
852
00:49:46,233 --> 00:49:47,943
And I've been really enjoying it.
853
00:49:47,943 --> 00:49:50,195
I'm gonna keep going.
I don't think I'm there yet, you know.
854
00:49:50,195 --> 00:49:53,990
I think I've barely unlocked
my potential.
855
00:49:59,496 --> 00:50:02,332
I'm gonna get a picture
of all you motherfuckers.
856
00:50:03,792 --> 00:50:06,837
You might all have to just take
a little half a step back.
