"I need MMA, it's a deep-rooted passion!" In-depth with Conor McGregor ahead of UFC 246 

My son loved Conor from the start, he was a huge fan, and dragged my doubting self along until I became a fan too. He also loved Cowboy, and passed away in anticipation of this fight, sadly. This will be the first time watching a McGregor fight without him, since he sat me down to watch the Brandao on RU-vid a week before Conor faced Dustin Poirier. It's been a bittersweet last couple of weeks watching the lead up to this fight alone, and not discussing or talking about it with him. I'm pulling for Conor, but love them both.

How many of Conor's new interviews have I watched this week?... All of them.

Best interviewer I seen so far doesn’t cut people off let them talk

He's probably been seeing a therapist or life coach. Acts so much different.

This guy is such a good interviewer

This man got me into the sport of MMA and probably millions of others.

Conor: “I love the UFC what a company” Dana: “🥺😍❤️”

Hate him or love him, we're gonna miss him when it's all said and done.

Finally MMA has a credible interviewer.

Interviewer is great at keeping it a great mixture of professional and just a friendly conversation

That's the best version of him mentally, respectful and humble, calm cool and collected. I'm a khabib supporter but I always liked Conor skills and fighting style.

The interviewer asking all the right questions, as a fan.

He’s human. It’s nice to see him at ease. Whoever the Conor was that showed up at the Khabib press conference seems to have vanished, thank god.

Adam Catterall’s name deserves to be all over this video. Fantastic interview

This interviewer got answers from Conor as if he was a therapist

He couldn't have said "fit, healthy, and ready" any jollyer than he did

The patience that Conor is maintaining in all his recent interviews is really surprising.He is calm,composed and very focused. Answering same questions being asked repeatedly with utmost sincerity! Looking forward to the fight 🙌🏻

hearing Conor talking about toy story and buzz lightyear is hilarious

Never seen Conor more excited than when he was talking about Toy Story 😂

It’s nice to have an interview with Connor where the interviewer doesn’t have a pre loaded agenda trying to stir things and get a wild reaction. Instead we end up with a smiling Connor talking about ToyStory and his son. 👍🏻

2016 Conor: El Chapo 2020 Conor: Buzz Lightyear

Hate him or love him youre going to watch him.

Ariel is absolutely the complete opposite of this interviewer

He just seems like a stable person now, I've never seen him this down to earth in a interview. I like it

Get this guy instead of Ariel’s face. He deserves the recognition and attention. Good stuff.

Best interviewer in the business at the moment....hands down.

2018 Conor: “Muhammad Ali was a very special man....” 2019 Conor: “Buzz Lightyear was a very special man...”

"Fans are in for a treat" man thats so intriguing.

Everyone deserves a second chance

Such a good interviewer, need more people like this

The interviewer did an amazing job, he’s very professional.

now he looks like a real warrior. humble focused. feels like he is coming back.

'I've never spoke to the man in me looiiff'

He's one of the guy who took MMA to another level. ..........Missed him badly...........

This interviewer is really good makes the fighters feel comfortable and open up

The GOAT of interviewers, probably the best interviewer of Conor I've ever seen.

I see haters loving him already, cause they all know he's about to take whats his.

He seems so different now. Different in a good way. Humble and focused. Really hope he wins on Saturday

Interviewer: **Speaks** McGregor- *HMMMM*

Love Connor I’ve stayed a loyal fan thick and thin! Good to see him focused. Grounded and BACK

The man is a great interviewer

Have to say the English media - this guy, Dan Hardy etc are a level above. Great interview

Love him or hate him, he’s a living legend. Hyped for his comeback

Conor talking about toy story and his son melts my heart this man has matured

Jesus Conor is looking more and more like his dad!!!!

Tony Ferguson the type of guy to wake everyone up to tell them he’s going to bed

Was never a Connor fan, but he’s really growing on me

Chaels sonnen: where is the media? Connor McGregor: hold my drink

I love when he says “I WILL NOT be holding pads for him or anything” Conor seems to be more honest n more matured after everything it’s a great side to see 💯

Adam is such an underrated analyst and interviewer. One of the very well spoken and articular ✌ love from India can't wait for this fight.

Love this interviewer mate. Honestly so good to listen toz

Damn Conor is in the best mental state I’ve ever seen him in . Pure positivy

McGregor's one of those fighters that needs the sport, he can't live a grounded life without fighting.

It's come back time!🇮🇪

It’s so good hearing conor talk about mma. His passion is inspiring

He didn't outlast Nate, he just did his best to survive after taking the lead on points. It was still a phenomenal performance though

How many mcgregor interviews have I watched this week. .......yes

Always been a conor fan, Even in the darkest times i was fan

This is the first interview I’ve seen on BT about MMA but can I just say that this interviewer is great. It felt more of just a conversation, he didn’t try to get a reaction or stir something up and it was so refreshing. Well done

Conor: "Tyson keeps saying me and him spoke, I never spoke to Tyson in me looiif" Interviewer: "He's coming this weekend" Conor: "Tyson's a good man. I like tyson. He's a phenomenal boxer"

This is the Conor of the Jose Era. Expect early fireworks.

Question ask by interviewer are awesome Like his fan asking question to him

Feels good to have McGregor interviews nearly every day rather than 1 a year

Conor legitimately seems happy and content with his life and its good to see. Ready to be at that point one day as well. Keep grinding everybody.

This interviewer should start his own channel

Focused McGregor right up there with sea level Cain,trt vitor, 5th round lawler,uberreem

Conor out here making me think I’m watching undisputed. “Hmmm” “hmm”

Imagine Tyson fury and Conor together in an interview hahaha pure banter that hahaha

McGregors beard is something to be admired

The McGregor we all want!💪

Conor's mind and focus are very sharp at this point💯🔥 that's where u want it to be before a fight. He wins this upcoming fight.

Who else remembers that sweet laugh back in 2015?Man I missed that laugh

Mcgregor will be a commentator 1day

5/5 interview, would watch again!🙌🏼 That chat about Tyson Fury was pretty funny😁

Conor “ I predict these tings” McGregor

This man should have his own channel What an interviewer. Good questions, keep the conversation flowing (smoothly), didn't cut the guest, and have a very nice charisma.

Though i m a khabib fan, but it seems like this man has learned his lesson and want to become a great fighter. Will be cheering for him

I believe if Conor fights 3 times this year wins a title and all that, they might decide to create a 165 division and maybe put him against Nate for that early next year

I’ve been a Conor fan for years now, always stood by him etc. can’t help but admit the Conor that showed up to the last conference to this one now, is a complete 180, I really like the humble but confident angle he’s coming at this from. Seems more real with himself and everyone around him.

Uncle Dana got his Golden boy back, can't wait to see him action.

He's given the best quote so far this year "people say I'm toast but I'm the bread" haha love or hate the guy he is entertaining

This man is in his mental and physical prime

he's got a smile on his face just thinking about it. I love it, lol.

This interviewer is so *consistent* and incredible with this interviews

Anyone else notice how humble Connor has become? 😂 Wow Khabib wasnt joking

This dude does great interview, always enjoyable. Big up

More impressed with the interviewer. Comes close to Costello.

The interviewer deserves credit for this, he made Connor relax and the flow just went smooth

Conor by 2nd round ko

PUT THIS MAN AS A VOICE ACTOR FOR THE NEXT TOY STORY!

Brilliant interview and great questions and interviewer also.

What a hreat interviewer, also good to see them giving Cowboy a fair shake, his interview is slightly longer. Good job.

the interviewer is like the watcher in marvel listening to a hero's story

Great interviewer

If theres ever a toy story sequal, he'll be involved in a voice over role. Im calling it

Agree...Great interview!! Nicely done. First pay per view I will have purchased in a long time.

Tony Fergusson is a type of guy ...... that's it. No jokes.

Conor talking about toy story was hilarious 😂 plus this man has come a long way , i'll always support him !

Looks a lot humble in this interview , crazy what time can do to people .

"to infinity! and ballewn!"
