2013-16 Conor was something amazing to witness

It will be an end of an era when he retires, like him or hate him, the dude makes the sport entertaining

"Open doors for everyone and lead the way" He did

Literally spoke his achievements into existence.

missing the old charismatic young hungry conor, wish he would be back his era felt like movie

It’s crazy how he mentioned Diaz this early

This is what made me a fan. I had never seen a character like him before. Charismatic and captivating. Raw and honest. Definitely inspired and motivated me.

How could you not love this man. “Any man can celebrate a win but not every man knows how to lose” -Sinkiy

By the end of the interview the journalist actually *knew* what Conor meant

Couldn't imagine the UFC if Conor hadn't come along. The sport owes alot to this man

If you want to get drunk like an Irishman take a shot every time Conor says "yewknawwhutimeen?"

He’s accomplished every single thing he said he wanted to do and went above and beyond that. The Conor Mcgregor era will go down in combat sports history, and the history is still being written today 💪🏻 🍀

You can see he had nothing to lose back then, he was feeling no pressure. That' s why he was invincible.

Motivated and trash talk conor is a great combination.

Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agreed that Alpha Conor made our day better:

1:40-1:55 He said he's taken moves from GSP, silva, diaz and shogun. cool af

Conor is a legend. Love him or hate him he is a legend.

"You can't have an ego in this game" True conor, very true.

In 2021, the forbes highest paid athletes in the world. What a journey!

4:48 "The day you stop trying to learn is the day you start losing" - Conor was a different man during his run up to knocking Jose Aldo in December 2015 and winning the featherweight title compared to who's been since fighting Floyd. He used to taunt opponents as a tactic rather than to stroke his ego, then the fame got to his head and he cared more about making money than being the best MMA fighter he could be. He used to be a master of human movement and have a PhD in unarmed combat, now he's a pretty good fighter and a great businessman. 2013-15 Conor was one of the highest peaks we've ever seen from an MMA fighter, hope he does well against Dustin for his sake.

Nearly 10 years ago , we are truly getting old

The man who changed Mma and Ufc forever 💯🐐

This kid seems pretty good, hope he can make some money in the business

Conor McGregor was extremely cold hearted in competition back in the day. I guess being a father and having kids does really change everything in an amazingly great way can’t wait for the Trilogy best of luck to both gentlemen.

Baby we did it… A left hand… a left hand and a left shoulder

This Conor is not the Conor we have today unfortunately😢

"I don't feel pressure" How many of us wish we could say the same? Sometimes I think you don't really get to choose how you'll react to an occasion. Your body will just react for you, regardless of what you want.

Conor beats dustin then rides on a horseback to Oliveria's favela and kills anyone that's not fit to work

2:51 is for everyone that says if he’s bald he’ll lose

Well he definitely exceeded his expectations. I bet at the time of this interview he never dreamt of having a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather or being in the position he's in today. dude made his family rich for generations!

This version of Connor no longer exist. He is the newest Diaz brother.

A legendary interview.. basically shows what a mindset of a rising star is, no matter in which field.

Conor brought so much attention and money to this sport. He deserves an office next to Dana, soon.

6:15 "you cant have an ego in this game" mystic mac predicted his own downfall

Young Conor was inspiring af

He predicted his own upbringing LITERALLY‼️

Connor's philosophy is a reincarnation of Bruce Lee. He's a walking legend.

Little did he know he would become the biggest star in UFC history

This aged like fine wine, this version of McGregor was hard not to like

Conor elevated the UFC to a whole new level, he is a legend and an icon that forever changed the sport. Regardless of what has happened over the past few years, it will be a sad day when he officially retires.

Conor “you know what I mean” McGregor but read this in Bruce Buffer’s voice now

Interviewer : you are the last person to make excuses Conor : My foot was a baloon

He is one of the main reasons the UFC is what it is today. Crazy how spot on he was in this interview. Literally predicts it all.

This Conor is so wise and thoughtful lol

Imagine where mcgregor would be if he hadn’t taken so many big breaks after the mayweather fight.

“ I could warm up in this chair “

"You can't have an ego in this game" I guess that's what's come round and got him in the end 🤷‍♂️ it would be impossible to imagine the level of success he would go on to have, that would go to anyone's head in the end

Love watching these old interviews. He absolutely changed MMA the whole sport forever.

Meanwhile clown paul preparing for his next interview: "Write it down write it down"!🤦🏻‍♀️

Can we just appreciate how good he is at TALKING. Not trash talking, just talking. There is no script here, just flow of consciousness

Win lose or draw, he changed the game forever and everyone has to appreciate him while he’s stil here

I started to watch UFC because of him! Since 2013..🔥🔥💯🤙🤙🤙

The greatest era in ufc history was when Conor was in featherweight. I got into ufc because of Conor and the way he predicted shit and made it come true…truly sensation

His answers are so philosophical and in depth, no doubt is/was a very intelligent guy, especially for a fighter

this was the Connor we fell in love with. The Money corrupted him so bad.

Everything he said he would do, he did it. Love him or hate him he will go down as a legend and will always be remembered

Love him or hate him you gotta respect Conor confidence and his promotion skills

This is the best fighting interview ever

Vicent Van Gogh if he was a plumber who just started fighting

@1:40 conor had respect for the diaz brothers from the beginning. He has mentions it later on in the career as well. How can you not. Real reconizes real.

It's sad that Conor has become some of the things that he warns about in this video, like having no ego, he's well and truly fucked that rule right up.

The king will be back 🏁🏆

' ah man i forgot my lucky pants ...fook im gonna lose " hahaahaahaaa that had me dead

There are so many things here we can learn from his words. He had zero fear back then, absolute animal. Today's conor is just a different type of animal. He even exceeded his own expectation regarding his popularity, fame, and value. We can always remember him for one thing however, hard work pays off.

This guy is a living legend, lets hope we see him start getting his drive back somehow soon. Don't like the direction he is taking with this strictly boxing style

I really miss this Conor but I'm still a fan. I hope we see this guy again on the 10th!

Never knew he was even aware of the Diaz brothers at this point. That's cool

Humble. Focused.

I want to see 2021 Conor react to this!

Snapback Conor was something else

Conor will go down as one of the GOATs!!! 👑🐐

Conor is easily my favorite interview in all sports.

"So it sounds like you are the last person that would ever give an excuse why you lost" After losing "mi fut waz a balooon"

His comments on losing is 100% that’s why we love Nate and other dogs that been in this game 10+ years

guess the number of times conor said " *you know what i mean?* " 53 or 67

A lot of knowledge in this video ✊🏼❤️🔥

4:40 Conor fucking loves mixed martial arts as much as we all do. People love to see the downfall of great people.

Take a shot everytime he says "You know what I mean"

5:27 "when there's all this media, people askling for pictures, then you start thinking you're bigger than you are, then they show up sloppy, sluggish, out of shape, that's not gonna be me." .... if only it wasn't

Man his passion here is so inspiring

Conor: Yewknawwhutimeen Khabib: What happen to your language - English change your language?

People hate on Conor because it’s “cool” to hate on him, he’s not perfect , he has his flaws just like many of us do. At the end of the day he’s a two division champ, he changed the landscape of the sport forever. his legacy is set in stone.

Back when there was hunger , no “real” money , no babies , no distractions , no BS. When he HAD to fight and there was a fire 🔥.

4:41 - "We have all won and we have all lost" - Khabib Numagamedov

Come on conor🇮🇪

mcgregor needs to channel his 23 year old self again

“We all lose” - Khabib

Legendary.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪 stand together 👊

"know what I mean" and "it is what it is" - All I hear in this interview

This dude will be a future PPV king, mark my words.

it wasn't ever trash talk, it was confidence..

0:25 I literally started laughing when I heard that question, he became first ever champ champ 😐

Legend

"Cant have an ego" he says, weeeeell today he's a wee bit different init?

What a interview

"We have all won, we have all lost." Khabib: "What you mean bratha?"

24 and the world at his feet nearly 10 years later look at him now

I know its said a lot but money really did ruin him.

The sky is the limit, and when we hit the sky we can get to space. Conor has the best one-liners of all time
