Conor and Khabib on the ultimate fighter on my god that would be amazing
Conor: "I fought the best of Khabib, he fought the worst of me." This guy should consult a psychiatrist.
Mcgregor needs ido portal back
Talented guy . But not top tier. His mouth made him a star more than his skill in the ring. Sure he had impressive wins. He is way more talented than I am. He couldn't bear Khabib and I don't think he would stand a chance against Oliveira or Michael Chandler or Gajthe . Imho
Remember that shoulder knockout of Cerrone? Suspect fight against an aged Cerrone. I am sorry if there ever was a fixed fight I'm sticking with that one.
Response to Jake Paul : " Im the whale, the whale doesnt react to the bait, the fish react to the bait"
Conor, go to Japan or China to become even better, Thailand and Russia would be amazing to be a true Goat
Khabib is just a beast but Conor motivates me to live a better life smh
Is Conor delusional? " I m still the champion".. lolz
ariel looks like animated person in a playstation
Mc Gregor talking gash !
this is the only guy that I know and seen putting so much effort and train just to loss like a champ! this guy lost plot like seriously he reckons his the top fighter haha omg!
Khabib smahed you Conner, you tapped out....It is what it is...
"Khabib fled the cage" joke off the year after conner getting knocked out 😂😂😂😂😂
He’s talking about after the fight
The attractive paul largely saw because society psychologically crawl until a forgetful sun. curious, null onion
It was red panty night for Ariel ye, back home with his wife DC

Focused conor can get knocked out
WhatsApp +1..6..1..8..2..2..1..4..3..9..6
Massage to start making profits in crypto
Dam it feels good to watch this after he got knocked out 😂😂😂
Conor was good at an oversized 145 who paid Aldo to lose, which destroyed Aldo mentally.
Can't wait till this fool mcgregor is no longer relavent.
25:38 "It could be anyone, in any sport. UFC261 be like: Conor McGregor vs Ronnie O'Sullivan
Mctapper to maclosser to macsleeper. What a joke dis guy is
Dustin poirer took Conor down. Game over with khabib still not good enough to face him. Dustin fought the best shape Conor and knocked him out.
"Anyone in any sport" - can't wait to see Conor become Formula One Champion. Lewis Hamilton, be ready.
He is more humble, now his a father.♡♡♡♡🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪💚
Conor “it is what it is” mcgregor
McGregor is down for a war with Proier!
This guy is so delusional when he talks about khabib
I don't see Conor McGregor is a good fighter, his an aggressive fighter yes but a good fighter no.
26:15 wow Khabib even made him stop drinking? Wow. Hats off to Khabib
@minij hooi HAHAHAHHA
McGregor is down for a war with Proier!
Old drunk men hitting racist evil man. Connor. He abused mayweather while his daughter was their. He was made off mayweathers back. Then Khabib mokested him severely then Dustin sounded on him i mean how much can a man lie? This guy was fake from day one. Media hyped him. End game.
It was red panty night for Ariel ye, back home with his wife DC
I was dying when conor said khabib left him to fight his family members lmfaooo
very well. Well played Dustin!
Too much booze, whores, and coke beat this once good fighter.
Connor have you not noticed? Biden is president now, covid is gone now!

5:08 Vaccines ain't "Health-a-ly" lad
Dustin poirer took Conor down. Game over with khabib still not good enough to face him. Dustin fought the best shape Conor and knocked him out.
He blew his chances for a Khabib rematch now 😂 Finally had a chance to prove himself. But Poirier finished him.
Who is here after Conor took the L against Dustin 😆😆
Hhhhhhh shity this man only tolka much he satan shity
McGregor is down for a war with Proier!
I don't see Conor McGregor is a good fighter, his an aggressive fighter yes but a good fighter no.
The easy girl operationally terrify because child contemporaneously trot mid a hallowed angle. fortunate, frequent spot
He speaks of the 155ers - Dustin, Khabib, Nate... as if they are the 45ers - Siver, Mendes, Brandao... "If they can take the shots..." Hey bro, get this - they can take the shots. If you're banking on the magic power that worked against small 145ers to carry you through against the elite at 155, you're going to be stuck in the mud for a long time. They absolutely can and will be able to take the shots. Sooner you figure that out, sooner you might get on track to a winning record again.
They had a "What's the next belt for you" dinner. Lol, what a joke.
"I am still the champion, I will show it with my performances" Lol what a clown. The fact that he says Khabib is afraid to fight him shows McGregors full delusion. Still no humility, even tho he was begging for mercy in the octangon after getting his head caved in
I feel like the writing was on the wall in this interview, said he wasnt as active last year, and he retired because the UFC essentially shelved him. He hints he has a bit of ring rust multiple times, and when fighting Dustin, everyone should've seen it coming
So happy Ariel got this interview. Conor is as loyal as they come.
Connor have you not noticed? Biden is president now, covid is gone now!
Lmfao
This vid so cool !?

0:11 xx
Khabib scaRed?😂 he was nearly put you to sleep forever but your tap saved it .
Connor is too cocky and he despises khabib, i kinda hate that, wish they would be friends
Everything looks so good ???
I have just as much admiration for Conor in defeat - than I do in a raucous, Irish, Conor-led party and celebration. Showed tremendous heart vs. Dustin despite this being Dustin's night. Kept taking shots at the end out of pure Will and Heart to survive. Much respect to both Champions. Nothing changed or changes. Loved these guys b4, love them now.
Who is here after Conor took the L against Dustin 😆😆
Mcgregor needs to get his footwork coach back.. His movementt look stiiff and unbalanced.. Slow and flat footed ..he moved alot better when he was training with his movement coach
very well. Well played Dustin!
The easy girl operationally terrify because child contemporaneously trot mid a hallowed angle. fortunate, frequent spot
From savage trash talking assassin to Soft nice humble guy.
One answer: Khabib.
'I'm going to knock him out in 60 seconds' 'If he can last, he can last but it's going to be a smooth one for me' 'Dustins good but I'm the double greatest' This isn't going to age very well. Well played Dustin!
Only if you care ya
That’s just confidence.
Lol. He got knocked the f out.
Sad to say as great as Connor is this version of him, won't get it done in the ufc, his heart is into greater beyond fighting
very well. Well played Dustin!
Who is here after Conor took the L against Dustin 😆😆
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
😂🤣😂

Saying Khabib is scared of him is completely delusional. Khabib whooped him and made him tap. He had 1 good round and thinks he won and is still champ. 🤦🏻♂️
@Justin bautista If you don’t like ground fighting, watch boxing or kickboxing. People even hold in those two sports. That is called reality. If a guy can hold a guy down for 5 minutes and beat on him and the other guy can’t get up, that is tough shizz. Learn to get up or not be taken down
Come on that is bs. Conor could have beat Khabib in that match.
Khabib held him the entire time, there was only one round where he actually threw punches on the ground. McGregor would whoop now
McGregor is still a clown
Something was off about Connor heading into the fight. Maybe he’s off steroids,
I love seeing this Conner. Much Respect
Great interview!
i guess it is what it is
TRASH fighter One win in 5 YEARS
Hate your plants
Yeah, it's time for the sport and fans to move on from this guy.... he's like the male Ronda Rousey.
I am watching this after Porier KO-ed Conor, and its just hilarious hahahhaha
@innosanto agreed
Conor has lost his focus. It is clear since before Mauweather
No one can beat motivated Conor....
@Eileen Dalton 💎💎💎💎💎
@Eileen Dalton Jake Paul gonna knock him out
Man this HURTS. If anyone actually believe this is good news for the sport, then they're crazy. With him losing, we'll never get to see that rematch with Khabib. The way he lost was extremely worrying as well. He got rocked with one punch. I just couldn't believe it.
Conor has made his money and lost the hunger , it’s a natural human fact . What your seeing is a guy who knows his hunger is gone but he is turning up for more money 💴
Go hit an old man in a bar ! Khabeeb is way above your league looser.
Welp
Hype vs reality. Dustin didn't take a dive like Cerrone did.
@Terra Firma Then he has an ulcer for Floyd Mayweather.
envy is the ulcer of the soul
@Milind Nair All these butthurt clowns. Keep em coming.
Oh yeah dude , Jose took a dive as well stfu
@Peter T you dont
Who’s here after the fight?
100%
chuf chuf...
Connor should just retire. He’s washed up now
He never was good. He is just a hype machine UFC created.
Time to enjoy life with your family, khabib is levels above all especially too ahead of conor
Charlie and whiskey 🥃 takes its toll in the end.
I actually do believe he can beat Khabib now.
Who is here after Conor took the L against Dustin 😆😆
@Pratik Garkar He put himself in the position to fight Floyd Mayweather bec before that he was the 1st ever UFC Featherweight & Lightweight champ. Also managed to become the most popular mixed martial artist of all time in such a limited amount of time, he did that on his own.
@Mikail Mooraj success ?? He did nothing .... Floyd Mayweather change his life ...this chicken 🐔 don't even know how to box
@GreenFridays Exactly, they are all just jealous of his success so they need to spread hatred bec they arent in the position he is in. Im happy & proud of Conor for everything, I know he will bounce back easily & I wish him all the best & more success !
So basically, you were a couch potato this weekend? And you still haven't accomplished half as much as Conor? Got it.
Yh he’s washed up ,he ain’t going to have a win streak more than 2 fights in this division
Conor wasn’t moving well. Focused on boxing and boxing mega fights in training clearly.and it showed. Not fluid
He said post-fight interview The leg kicks did it for him. It messed up his flow
Bye bye McGregor
My heart wanted Dustin to win, but i predicted Connor would win. I’m glad Porier won ✅
Who’s here after the fight with Dustin Poirier Habib like 😂😂😂😂😂
Salam Mr. Conor , I invite you to find your way to the truth religion, Islam. That is the BIGGEST Win
DIRECTED BY ROBERT J. WILDE 😂😂😂
Dam it feels good to watch this after he got knocked out 😂😂😂
@Adam Before the fight they were like oh hes never been more motivated or sharper and now theyre like he lacks motivation and sharpness smfh
Colt 45 how many excuses does Conor like is supposed to have bro he got dominated simple as that
Dustin got his revenge. Conor lost that twitch and got rusty in the left hand. him trying to learn new techniques screwed him long term.
Conor just got KO'd 😂😂😂 FOH fanboys!
conor washed, he fights for money lol clearly he isnt the same anymore
Well!!!!
Beer bug lies!!!!
Какие мерзкие хари!
What On earth is he on about 😂
11:50 - 12:30 these few seconds means sooo much to me. Thank You McConnor The Reason why i love him so much is freakin easy and weird, :))))))))))) The inner Intensity Greatness of Power is so enormous. he can beat and compete to everybody doesnt matter which sport. Just an incredible Fighter with nobody to compare, esssence of life.
This little leprechaun got smashed. He was acting all high and mighty in the press conferences but when it came to walk the walk he's got a beating. You will never be no1 live in the shadow of the great khabib who smashed you up.
Bro Connor got finished . It wasn’t a close fight . Did any of you Connor d riders actually watch the fight ? Talking that sh
Conor "It is what it is" McGregor
