0:01 Connor it's great to see you again good
0:03 to see you are you how are you pretty
0:05 good yeah it's been a while since I've
0:06 seen you in person so it's nice to be
0:07 back here it's a little nostalgic seeing
0:09 the team and whatnot and it's
0:11 interesting because I've been talking to
0:13 a lot of members of your team and I keep
0:15 hearing the same thing we haven't seen
0:17 him this happy and so long it's a
0:19 different Connor he's he's so engaged
0:21 he's so motivated do you agree with all
0:23 these statements and if so why is that
0:25 I'm feeling really good I'm enjoying my trainer
0:25 trainer
0:28 I took am I just took my you know I
0:31 listen to myself what I needed to deal
0:34 with in my in my training set up and an
0:36 outside of the jamming and I and I
0:38 executed him I followed followed what I
0:39 what I said to myself that I needed
0:42 needed to deal when it's it's giving me
0:44 energy it's giving me focus and I'm
0:46 happy now you know I'm enjoying my
0:49 training so why are you happy now I mean
0:51 I'm just focused I'm just committed you
0:53 know when you say to yourself right you
0:54 know what you've got a deal right we all
0:55 know what we've got a deal we say to
0:57 ourselves I've got to do I should do it
0:59 this way I should do this and and if you
1:01 and when you don't do that and then you
1:04 carry on II you feel you know like IOC
1:05 Delta's removed by action so if you're
1:07 not if you're not working and that's
1:09 where the devil seeps in so I knew
1:11 things I should have been doing I things
1:12 I shouldn't have been doing
1:15 and I still did them and didn't do them
1:17 if you get me and but now I'm I'm
1:19 listening to myself and I followed my my
1:22 internal instruction and it's just given
1:24 me more passion and more focus I'm more
1:27 Drive and I'm doing what I feel I need
1:28 to do when it's and it feels good so
1:31 that's it what got you back on track
1:32 like is there a moment in your life that
1:33 got me back on track you were a call
1:35 when you when you started to tell
1:37 yourself I need to go back to how I once
1:40 was I don't know about a specific moment
1:43 just it's life as a crazy roller coaster
1:45 especially this life you know so we vote
1:48 we bounce but and I find I'm at my best
1:53 when I set out when I say a nice when I
1:54 must do something I know I'm was still
1:56 it and I do it I execute it and that's
1:57 what I'm doing right now that's what I
1:58 have done the trainer has been
2:01 phenomenal my coaches my team everyone's
2:03 been in sync together and we've had a
2:05 great camp and we're very very happy
2:07 here and obviously it's good to be back
2:08 in Las Vegas I haven't been in Vegas in
2:10 a while
2:13 very excited very happy you know it's
2:14 somewhat of a cliche in the fight game
2:16 best camp of my life I've never felt
2:18 better all this stuff and I think in
2:20 your particular case because there's so
2:21 much scrutiny on everything that you do
2:23 people roll their eyes when they say up
2:25 as camp we've heard this before why
2:26 should they believe you do you want them
2:28 to believe you you know I can't I can't
2:30 focus too much on the external okay it's
2:32 great it's all positive right now right
2:33 it's like everything's going great
2:35 everyone's saying it's this and it's
2:36 that but I just must focus on my
2:39 internal and my internal is amazing.i my
2:41 thoughts are strong my belief is is high
2:45 my confidence is high and that's it I
2:47 feel like I am NOT I want to say back to
2:49 who I was but I'm even better than who I
2:51 was you know everyone says we missed the
2:54 L the L Connor at the 2016 Connor at the
2:56 2015 Connor or whatever it was but I
2:58 feel I'm better than that now I feel um
3:00 I'm mature I've can I've come full
3:03 circle I've have experienced everything
3:06 in this business right I mean I'm just
3:07 an experienced individual I know what I
3:09 need to do when I'm doing it and I have
3:12 a solid team of masters tactician
3:16 behind me that are that I discussed my
3:18 feelings and my thoughts with them and
3:21 we brainstorm and communication is
3:22 another thing I wasn't communicating
3:26 with with my team of my people and I was
3:27 almost assuming that it should be
3:29 understood you know know you know and
3:31 now we're just in sync like every just
3:32 conversations constant conversations
3:34 about techniques about skills but
3:37 practices and we're all just rising and
3:39 feeling the energy and it's a beautiful
3:41 time was there ever a point where you
3:42 thought you wouldn't be back to this
3:44 spot maybe not even fight again was ever
3:47 a doubt in your mind no no he didn't you
3:49 know III was there and my training was
3:52 flawless I like I said when we had that
3:53 discussion a while back right I hired I
3:56 was in phenomenal condition I had a few
3:57 little slip-ups and they caused me I
3:59 ended up in a timeshare I thought in
4:02 army and I just slipped off slipped away
4:04 from me but I was in from a phenomenal
4:08 place then also so and I knew I know I
4:09 get back I knew I knew it
4:12 sometimes you need sometimes sometimes
4:13 certain things need to happen for you to
4:16 kind of to get things right right so
4:18 that's what happened to me and and Here
4:20 I am you know when we spoke in in August
4:22 it was a bit of a diff
4:24 Connor you were very contrite you were
4:27 apologetic you you've never been known
4:29 to be an apologetic guy in my care what
4:33 the Portier say Portier said am i went
4:34 from apologizing to absolutely nobody
4:37 apologizing to absolutely everybody and
4:38 it was different and I think the fact
4:40 I'm sure what to make of it right and
4:41 they weren't sure if you were being
4:42 sincere or not why we've never seen
4:44 Connor in this look I'm as real as
4:46 against like the slogan of the UFC okay
4:48 you get what you see with me I'm in the
4:51 wrong I'm in the wrong and and I'm
4:54 really that's who I am so that wasn't
4:56 that long ago that was just five or so
4:57 months ago meet you your demeanor is
4:59 different you seem different you seem
5:00 happier of course you're about to fight
5:02 what's the difference between this guy
5:03 and that guy in August were you nervous
5:06 about your career we're just you know I
5:08 let it let people down and that's it and
5:12 just I'm in a position where I must you
5:13 know you must take take control of
5:17 things and and not shy away from things
5:18 and that's that's I've never done that
5:22 in my career and I never will do it I'm
5:24 back here now how am i how many months
5:27 five months ago that was solid five
5:29 months work so I'm very very happy with it
5:29 it
5:31 one thing that I remember you saying in
5:32 that and that interview was you felt
5:33 like it was a knife in the heart when
5:35 you when he started to hear the Irish
5:37 fans in particular lose faith in you
5:39 lose lose that trust in you because they
5:41 they propped you up right you meant so
5:43 much to them you feel like the support
5:45 of the people means a lot to me you know
5:47 I I do this to entertain the people you
5:50 know this this is for my for my fans and
5:53 my people who believe in me and not not
5:54 so much the anything that's gonna just
5:56 my lack of commitment I think the people
5:58 who believed in me and support me they
6:00 deserve better and I wish to give them
6:02 that night and I will and I am I know
6:04 like you said people can see that and
6:05 I'm putting in the walk and I'm saying
6:08 I'm putting in the focused walking
6:10 that's why we're all we're all in good
6:12 spirits do you feel like they are back
6:14 on your bandwagon or do you think you
6:16 have to do something I'm generally pay
6:18 you know that's why I'm like a man after
6:20 if there's even a thought it out and
6:20 they're not really with me anyway right
6:24 so look I've got my team my people I
6:25 know who's with me and I know
6:28 that's you know I'll say a prayer for
6:31 those who who cost me and try and bring
6:33 harm to me and and move on and stay
6:35 focused on the positive aspects of my
6:37 life and there are many many great
6:39 things in my life and that's it and you
6:41 know we can reach this bliss they say
6:43 right so that's that's that's helped me
6:48 a lot and I'm like I've got blinkers on
6:50 right I'm just focused nothing can
6:52 infiltrate my entire thoughts you know
6:55 no external it's like a lot of the
6:57 narratives Ariel that people say and
7:00 it's a crazy game right you know it just
7:03 used to irritate me to wait the way
7:06 certain the way certain narratives are
7:08 spread and the rewards are twisted and
7:09 these type of things and I just I had to
7:11 just disengage from it I eat but when I
7:13 came into the game it would happen and I
7:15 kind of laugh it off and plate and play
7:17 up to it and do my thing and then I just
7:19 kept on on and on and on and I just
7:22 cared a little a little a little more
7:25 and then I area I reacted I reacted to
7:29 disrespect but no more I am just focused
7:31 on myself my inner thoughts my team's
7:33 thoughts and and that's where we're at
7:36 the legendary boxer Marvelous Marvin
7:37 Marvin Hagler
7:40 he once said many moons ago that it's
7:42 it's it's hard to wake up at 5:00 a.m.
7:44 to go run outside when you're waking up
7:47 in silk pajamas you've experienced that
7:49 now right I'm caught in a show tracks
7:50 yeah I mean this is you know sorry about
7:53 Conor McGregor line damn is that a real
7:56 thing yeah it's it's not I don't think
7:58 it's for me it's not about money you're
8:00 right I'm in a position where it's not
8:02 it's forever money now this is not for
8:05 money for me and I'm a man so no one
8:07 that the money will stop my hunger for
8:09 this and my hunger to to compete and
8:11 entertain and and just and live my life
8:12 the way I want to live it and the way I
8:18 enjoy to live it and it certainly it's
8:20 too much money and without an awareness
8:22 of it of it in the past can be dangerous
8:24 you know he can there's no limits
8:25 there's no boundaries you can do
8:27 anything you can go anywhere you can
8:30 what I am I know what I want to do and
8:31 what I enjoy doing and this is what I
8:32 enjoy doing so I'm gonna keep doing it
8:33 and now I'm doing it full steam ahead and
8:34 and
8:36 I'm in the best shape of my life in
8:38 mental and physical but it's not like
8:40 you're throwing a basketball into a hoop
8:41 right you're getting punched in the face
8:42 and you have to get punched in the face
8:44 leading up to the fight a minimum
8:45 fighter so no one's punching me in the
8:47 face how do you know I mean I do sharp
8:49 may trust me on that but I'm just saying
8:50 where do you find that motivation now if
8:52 you have forever money why do you keep
8:54 doing this cuz I love it it's far the
8:57 low Vario I absolutely love the game you
8:59 know I mean the last time I smoked I
9:01 love this business it's a royal game I'm
9:04 you know just I'm involved in so many
9:07 businesses right thriving businesses but
9:08 there's no business like the fight
9:12 business right was there any possibility
9:13 in the making of this folks I remember
9:15 you telling me you wanted to fight in
9:17 December and it didn't work out and
9:18 there was the Edgar togs but then of
9:20 course we settled on this one a woman -
9:22 Donald in a second but was there ever
9:25 any issues because of what happened last
9:27 year with all the stuff of making this
9:29 fight of getting a gun of being able to
9:30 come to America and make this fight
9:33 happen were there roadblocks what a
9:35 company is the Ultimate Fighting
9:36 Championship right such a such an
9:39 amazing company that's helped me and and
9:41 the people in the background and we've
9:43 always done great business and it's all
9:46 people know my character you know people
9:48 that know me know my character so
9:51 everything went smooth and the people
9:53 that helped me in the background they
9:54 understand that and they helped me and
9:58 I'm very thankful for that so ya know
9:59 there was no problem making everything
10:02 went smooth I know you were in court in
10:03 November you paid the fine pled guilty
10:05 for the the incident with the bar we
10:07 spoke about what happened in Miami is
10:08 there anything else that's pending in
10:10 your life now or we have a clean slate
10:12 in 2020 clean snake clean sweat I
10:13 remember you telling me not that long
10:15 ago you felt like your your your
10:17 character was being assassinated
10:20 constantly in the press do you feel like
10:22 that is still the case yeah but I just
10:24 don't know just like I said blink or saw
10:26 like good look that I will say a prayer
10:29 for that you know I mean I just it is
10:31 what it is it's part of life right it's
10:33 just like I said it just some time ago
10:35 be on top of me and then I was like
10:38 reacted but no more now I am I had to I
10:41 had to go go to that point how do you do
10:42 that - because I do become always wanted
10:44 to react and then to say like that I'm
10:49 me man look at where it led me reacting
10:50 to disrespect and these happenings and I
10:54 just I've learned that some valuable
10:55 lessons in this that I'm very very
10:57 thankful for and I will use them going

13:53 won't bring my daughter I know I'll
13:55 leave my daughter with my mother and

14:00 sits down who you are and what you do or
14:01 not quite yet Shane he understands
14:04 fighting and I don't know Henry
14:05 understands who we are I would say that
14:08 champ champ junior you know I look
14:10 forward to the day when I show him tapes
14:13 and show him footage and doesn't quite
14:14 understand yet although he's a very
14:16 intelligent young boy for like two and a
14:17 half two and a half years of age he is
14:22 and very very proud of my family in a in
14:24 a weird way is it almost possible to say
14:26 that they helped save your career and
14:28 I'm saying wonderful right at the time
14:30 that I needed it needed it the most so
14:31 I'm very very happy I'm very very
14:35 blessed obviously you know we've covered
14:36 back in August we covered a lot of the
14:38 stuff that happened over the past year
14:40 for you but serious things have been
14:42 written about you and I've been alleged
14:43 towards you is there anything that you
14:45 want to say about these allegations that
14:46 have been written about you that have
14:50 been said about you I am look just know
14:52 I can't say anything about this it just
14:55 has to take place right does it bother
14:56 you that these things rather that people
14:58 call you you know more two-putt are you
15:01 yes they you know what
15:05 so once upon a time time patience
15:08 patience is a skill we must master
15:10 patience is one of the most valuable
15:13 skills a human being must master and I'm
15:15 working hard to master it and I feel I'm
15:18 getting there so time time work time
15:21 well time will show all that's it right
15:23 now I have focused on on the belt
15:26 focused positivity good thoughts and I
15:28 would say a prayer for those who try of
15:30 course me I try and bring harm to me
15:32 with with these type of things and
15:34 that's it and as a family man as a father
15:34 father
15:35 and we even things like you know the
15:36 story that came out someone said that
15:38 you were the father of their their child
15:39 then it comes out that you're not the
15:42 father that sticks to you right after
15:43 two and a half years that that situation
15:47 was going on for us so that was that was
15:50 a tough one for a while yeah but it is
15:52 what it is it's just there you go it's
15:55 not mine last question on this can you
15:58 say as your manager said in your your
16:00 your legal team has said you deny any of
16:02 these allegations that I've been yes of
16:04 course of course
16:08 100% yes daddy oh come on you're
16:11 seriously time time please just time
16:13 that's our time we'll review a lot of
16:17 time with hell honor and then I just see
16:19 how did we end up with Donald Cerrone as
16:21 your opponent you seem to have many
16:27 options why him um well I said I'd fight
16:28 him right I mean me and Donald had a
16:30 history a long history I'm not a long
16:33 history but we've had a histories and
16:35 it's an exciting belt it's a fan
16:38 friendly belt it's a fight that excites
16:40 me and it's a fight that I said I'd
16:43 partake and I appreciate it I appreciate
16:45 Donald had to say Allah you know he's
16:47 fought a lot of times and since the last
16:48 time I saw on my Sauron like the
16:51 aldo press conference many many years
16:54 ago he's gone on it and fought so many
16:57 times he's also a family man and with
16:58 his grandmother and these things I
17:01 appreciate that and I respect that Mel
17:02 to respect the method the method he went
17:05 about with the proper whiskey and you
17:07 know so much so much of what goes into
17:09 these things and have a bit to see it a
17:10 bit of respect they appreciate that and
17:12 I look forward to having a good belt I
17:14 know you're not interested in that he's
17:15 that wasn't the wrong the wrong wafer
17:17 but for me in this part of my land this
17:19 time of my life that is the right way to
17:21 go about it you know and especially now
17:23 I'm happy to come back and have my
17:26 comeback fight in the beginning of of my
17:28 season against Donald and I look forward
17:29 to it's gonna be a good night
17:32 and I'm gonna shine here on January 18th
17:33 I'm gonna create magic inside the
17:35 Octagon like I have done many times
17:36 before but this is gonna be something special
17:37 special
17:39 so the the opponent and the weight was
17:41 your decision ultimately right you could
17:43 have made this at 155 like I'm under
17:45 weight right now so how much do you
17:46 weigh on this Friday before the fight
17:49 I'm underweight I'd say 160 160 and a
17:51 bit so why not make him I know I could
17:53 how I just don't think he looks well at
17:55 155 right he does not look well I won't
17:57 he's a 170 fighters so don't you want it
17:59 to suffer on the way too worried but I
18:00 want them or some of this I don't care
18:02 no I I could be a movie for I would
18:04 bring him any blade no I
18:06 I'd be him at any weight I be and when
18:08 he blade you know I mean I beat him if I
18:11 had to flail or so like I don't hair I
18:13 don't need you know I don't need that I
18:15 just want to focus on my training and
18:17 keep me sharp and you know I don't get a
18:20 cut men build and include it's not you
18:21 know it's I'm happy where I'm at and
18:23 also 170 is it an excitement for me I
18:25 like 170 I like what's going on at the
18:27 170 division at the minute you got Jorge
18:28 with that belt you got the other guys
18:31 would fighting for the belt and and I
18:34 like all what's going on at 117 I feel
18:36 good at 170 I feel energetic it's what I
18:39 weigh it's what I weigh and and that's
18:42 it so it opens up so many more options
18:44 right you don't want to die no 140 no
18:46 I'm not doing I 155 no okay I could make
18:48 good I can make 155 this this this fight
18:52 no problem but I am I just want to go in
18:54 freshen as it is let the let the fly
18:57 play as it is and then open up all my
19:00 options historically the knock on Donald
19:02 has been he can't win the big one never
19:04 won the belt in WC never won the belt
19:05 you have see you know when it seems like
19:07 he has a big fight when the spotlight is
19:09 on him he falters there's no bigger
19:10 spotlight than a fight against you so
19:12 are you counting on that are you
19:14 counting on him to not show up so to
19:17 speak and all that all that mean means
19:19 nothing it's it's me I'm gonna in their
19:23 fresh sharp fast like dangerous powerful
19:25 and full of energy
19:30 it can be if you want to put it on the
19:31 first flight of the mate of the of the
19:34 card in the first prelim fight or
19:35 something I think that's that that's
19:38 gonna make Donald be comfortable then do
19:40 that let's see what happens to stay it's
19:43 still gonna be it's not gonna be what's
19:46 gonna happen so yeah that's it I know
19:48 you're very in tune with the fence and
19:49 when this fight was first announced it
19:51 was like he's ducking gay Chi he's dead
19:52 that was the fight to make a chi just
19:54 beat Donald how could you fight Donald
19:55 yeah this is the fight to make what's
19:57 your response to the people who say that
19:58 you were ducking gaeshi and you picked
19:59 the easier fight
20:01 well well well first of all I put it
20:02 into the UFC's hands right I was like
20:04 they wanted to make the belt I wanted to
20:06 make the baton Justin's in listen to
20:07 heavy door he was going on with certain
20:09 things or said a lot of people are
20:10 saying certain things or following these
20:13 these narratives these vicious
20:14 narratives that are going around about
20:18 me and and I'm like just I'm just
20:20 putting that on off on the backburner
20:22 for a minute and but I'll get to him
20:23 he's gonna get the end he was made not
20:25 that we party aids not that boy Oliver
20:30 is that's a handy one that is a true
20:35 handy fight for me so and whatever he
20:37 has made a very personal with you right
20:39 look at you're not gonna be able to get
20:41 make it personal with me certainly not
20:43 now I've gone to the brink of personal
20:45 attacks here none of me I know I'm
20:47 bulletproof I am you're not gonna you're
20:49 not gonna do that man that's that's not
20:51 that's nothing but I am I'll fight him
20:54 at some stage I think I'll fight him at
20:56 some stage yet this year possibly this
20:58 year yeah I'm gonna be active I'm gonna
21:00 be active right this is a spar to me I'm
21:01 gonna go in here and there was AI plays
21:03 in here and put on a show for the fans
21:09 and and get a beautiful win and and we
21:11 don't do the divisions look at me and
21:12 let me actually tree weight divisions
21:14 you know I mean no one's doing this so
21:17 I'm very very excited and very happy and
21:19 long made the opponent's continue to
21:22 take home and I'll continue to knock
21:23 them down so you're viewing this as a
21:25 season as you said hoping for three
21:27 fights right probably not more possibly
21:29 more yes did you lay it out perfectly
21:30 for us that's whatever wants to know
21:32 we're all speculate are did it all right
21:33 you know just just know that there's
21:35 activity there's activity I don't even
21:37 know when the next well if I go in here
21:38 and put on the way or go two seconds
21:39 which is
21:41 could happen I I could late-night to
21:42 probably near the next event
21:44 that's the Trevor - Emma I just wanna
21:47 like I'm gonna for me right after the
21:48 fight now it's gonna be the next like
21:51 I'm not like I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
21:55 like sink in with this this boys you
21:56 know and then just cuz he can get caught
21:58 up in it right yeah you get the win and
22:00 you're a great dam and all this all this
22:02 type stuff and I'm gonna I'm gonna go
22:03 out in the night I've got an after party
22:05 set I'm gonna go have a few sips of my
22:08 proper ways here I've abstained from
22:09 that I made a promise to myself I made a
22:10 promise to my team I made a promise to
22:12 my friends that I would stay wound
22:14 represent fully focused or up staying
22:15 from that and I miss it you know I do
22:17 love my liquid I'll have a few little
22:19 sips of my after-party I'll take the
22:22 following day to rest and then the day
22:23 after that I will engage in a red zone
22:25 McGregor fast training session like I
22:28 don't post the as - after the ds2 fight
22:30 I went that I had my afterparty I took a
22:32 day rest after the fight and I went in
22:34 and I don't read on sprints on the ski
22:35 area the skier it's a stationary machine
22:38 we pull the strings down because the leg
22:40 was jammed up from kicking Diaz's me and
22:43 his legs and so I couldn't I was hot I
22:45 was on crutches and I got that walk in
22:47 and just least set my mind I just reset
22:48 my mind put me back in that training
22:50 mind it's so easy for you to finish a
22:53 fight have a little celebration and then
22:54 it's stretched into the next day and
22:55 then you read a bit of bad food and then
22:57 the next day and then it's kind of hard
22:59 to pull yourself back in so I have my
23:00 plan that I'm gonna set out and that's
23:02 what it is I'm gonna have my little
23:05 celebration rest the next day and then
23:07 back into training and then and then
23:11 what's next Wow okay so this is I mean
23:13 we haven't seen you active like this in
23:16 a very long time so if I asked you do
23:18 you even have the opponents in mind it
23:20 does not matter you don't there's so
23:22 many times in Justin's there jeho Hayes
23:24 there my Camaros there don't have a
23:25 preference I don't know I don't yeah it
23:26 just wouldn't be fair to say you want to
23:28 end with Labib in Moscow cuz that's what
23:30 you know that one I'd love that one but
23:31 that's got to happen it's got to happen
23:35 here not a man he can it must happen so
23:38 I went on Moscow and I wasn't so was
23:40 that like our amazing Moscow is a great
23:41 place Roose is a great place I got to
23:43 say I'm very impressed with him you
23:45 didn't feel unsafe at any point no not a
23:47 Russian people did you see the fans and
23:48 the soap you know they're good people
23:50 have something at you
23:56 I sort of reflected I could have caught
24:00 it as well I loved it I love I love the
24:03 game you know yeah I look forward to
24:06 that to that competition it's fully
24:08 focused you can see it come on you can
24:10 see the shape of me yeah everyone knows
24:12 everyone knows and no matter what they
24:14 can map that mine can run but he cannot
24:16 hide from it so in the build-up to that
24:18 fight a lot was said right it's very
24:20 personal between you and a lot was said
24:22 that I think it wasn't just shared was
24:24 actions that led to what was said it
24:26 wasn't just they didn't just get to
24:28 words it was you know there was actions
24:30 that led to those words so like what
24:32 like just things that true about the
24:33 course of the build-up like with the
24:36 Artem situation you know and thinks that
24:38 maybe maybe slipped under the radar like
24:40 it was meeteth kind of began or listened
24:42 and whatever it did get it did get very
24:45 very personal but I'm I'm taking a back
24:47 step from that and focusing on the
24:50 skills it's a very skillful belt and he
24:55 poses a specific air a specific style
24:57 set and I posed a specific style set
25:00 it's an interesting clash with two fully
25:01 focused fighters and that's what will
25:03 happen in the next belt and I look
25:05 forward to it and settling it but I'm
25:07 just curious because it got so personal
25:09 things about in his family and he was
25:10 talking about things were that they were
25:12 being alleged about you and do you
25:14 regret any of that do you do wish in
25:15 hindsight it didn't get that personal
25:16 about his family the religion all that
25:18 the dad yes so some of the things maybe
25:21 I may be too far but hey it's it is what
25:23 it is it's the fight business at the end
25:25 of the day it went the way it went
25:28 that's it but you think that fight will
25:30 happen again when you hear him say he's
25:32 gotta win 10 fights and all this stuff
25:34 oh yeah what is your reaction to that
25:38 fear fear you know doesn't want it so
25:42 this is what it is you mentioned
25:43 something very quickly there that I just
25:45 want to ask you about so I think a lot
25:46 of people be surprised you said no
25:48 liquid in this camp when's the last time
25:50 you had a drink a couple of good couple
25:52 months ago tree for all months ago maybe
25:54 here is that a first for you or at least
25:56 first in a while what was Rincon oblate
25:57 in 40 week you asked me am I think I was
26:00 on the Conan O'Brien show yes Abra
26:03 I mean part of the Habib fight yeah hmm
26:05 you were drinking in the build-up mm
26:08 yeah mm-hmm was that common for you and
26:10 your career not read not not to that
26:12 extent no not that extent why'd you do
26:15 that I don't know I just I just venom in
26:17 me or something don't know boy I had
26:20 people holed up in a in a hotel from
26:23 that part that a world and and I would I
26:26 would ring and her and and arrange a fight
26:26 fight
26:28 so they come from the hotel down to the
26:29 gym and have a full block a full blown
26:31 flight no head guard close that
26:35 certainly good and a fight I'd win you
26:36 know I'd have a war and I'd win I'd
26:38 knock the guy out and then I go off and
26:41 celebrate and then I'd come back in
26:44 three days three days what were you
26:47 doing you know just don't know not
26:48 nothing what I should have been there
26:50 celebrating partying just I don't know
26:51 just not living the life that I should
26:53 be living and that's it so I'm not going
26:54 back there you know I mean I'm in a
26:56 graceful nail that's he and I put I've
27:00 made mistakes and you know I've been man
27:03 enough to admit them and correct them
27:05 and that's what I don't and you know I
27:07 mean I'm Way know I might not be perfect
27:10 area right but where would I what a good
27:13 sleep and a full belly on damn close
27:14 what time are you going to sleep these
27:16 days well right now we're on the course
27:19 getting onto the clock of a fight time
27:20 right that's hey I'll be walking into
27:22 the Octagon 10:00 p.m. of aigis time but
27:24 back home in Ireland I was sleeping
27:25 early I was waking up early we had a set
27:27 time I think was like it was 11 a.m. and
27:30 7:00 p.m. on my training sessions slots
27:33 and then so that was it I stayed
27:35 structure to of that now that we're here
27:37 or in the gym now every time on fight
27:39 night all right at the time of the fight
27:42 and carrying on I feel I've got a custom
27:45 for the time already to the times aren't
27:49 so perfect absolutely flawless
27:51 and I've heard you call that previous
27:56 camp of disaster right I'm not trying to
27:57 get you know it's not a disaster you
27:58 learned something from everything right
28:00 but I heard a lot about myself shoe and
28:01 and home came here on the walk was great
28:04 like but it's not like I was coming into
28:06 gym being lazy and half-ass that goes
28:08 almost what the park I said here I was
28:10 almost too too intense and to series and
28:12 to working too hard in the gym and
28:15 they're not working hard enough outside
28:17 because that's a that's a big part of it
28:19 as well you know I mean you've got to be
28:21 focused outside cuz then the next day
28:24 rolls around interview I'm focused when
28:25 you left the gym and then it's time to
28:27 go back you're not a sharp you're not as
28:28 fresh you're not as eager to be there
28:30 and that's what kept happening to me and
28:31 I just avenged didn't want to be there
28:33 never get there and then I have this the
28:36 scrap and then I'd offer go again and it
28:38 is what it is everything's a lesson and
28:40 some parts of it were enjoyable though
28:43 you knows I do love a good scrap just I
28:44 just gotta stay focused outside is um
28:45 let's see how are things with your head
28:47 coach John Cavanaugh amazing absolutely
28:52 amazing very very very in in contact you
28:54 know we discuss a lot or we we discussed
28:58 training methods and practices
29:00 everything you know that's communication
29:02 has been excellent this camp and I made
29:04 sure you know just it wasn't the last
29:06 camp not nothing not even with John but
29:08 it would everyone involves you know so
29:10 I've been a lot more in communication
29:12 with my team and relay and how I feel
29:15 and and you know what some hyuna
29:17 together we are truly some unit I
29:18 brought back my boxing coaches as well
29:20 went back to my old boxing gym feel sort
29:23 of and then at crowman Boxing Club it's
29:24 where I learned have the pawn shop
29:26 that's been good for the soul and that
29:28 and uh you know I said in my head that
29:29 after to me after I went back then I was
29:31 like because I don't know boxing about
29:35 in in there good Friday show and I had
29:36 feel in the corner and that I was like
29:38 damn I should I should have had the guys
29:40 in there for their Mayweather build-up
29:41 and you know I was part of the team and
29:43 but look that's the box and Avenue still
29:45 there also I'm it's good to have big the
29:47 guys back and there's a great energy in
29:49 the counter walks been phenomenal
29:52 everyone's in sync and that's it I had a
29:55 true team of tactician
29:57 behind me and
30:01 I'm excited to go in and represent our
30:04 walk and this is something that I don't
30:06 think that guys have caught on
30:08 just yet you and Phil Sutcliff I've seen
30:09 you working with him kind of like the
30:12 classic old boxing guy if you will the
30:13 decision to bring them back I think is
30:15 really interesting and I think symbolic
30:16 of the fact that you were trying to go
30:19 back to when it was simpler and to your
30:21 roots so to speak is this the first time
30:22 in your MMA career that you have had
30:24 them a part of of your camp in your
30:28 corner part of the corner yes and not
30:30 part of the can but since UFC days my
30:32 early MMA career I was still in the box
30:33 and in the boxing gym I would go to the
30:35 box in Germany and it's faster and it
30:37 mixed martial arts jamming we were kind
30:39 of at loggerheads a while back at the
30:41 very beginning because it was they could
30:42 not understood what the mixed martial
30:44 arts was and then that's kind of what
30:45 led me the interest to kind of stay
30:48 focused on the only MMA what boxing such
30:51 a beautiful beautiful discipline and
30:53 these guys are the best
30:55 you know me and so I'm very very and
30:56 this is what I learned how to fight and
30:57 then hit the box so I'm pretty happy
31:01 them feel yeah when were you at Kremlin
31:04 I will do a table 12
31:06 Wow 12 so do you see the symbolism in
31:11 that to have profits where my 12 keeps
31:13 bouncing up everywhere it's magic for
31:16 sex right - 46 is UFC two four six yeah
31:18 adds up to 12 to the 12th UFC fight it's
31:21 my 12th UFC fight something else there
31:22 was another one I think the date counted
31:27 up to 12 or something a 1 numerology is
31:30 but there's some great symbolism in that
31:32 right now bring back the old coach so to
31:34 speak of course you have to push anyone
31:36 out but you're adding him yes no no no
31:39 we're together we are all better we're
31:39 better together
31:42 most certainly everyone everyone on my
31:44 team has amazing skills and amazing
31:46 knowledge of the fight game in specific
31:50 areas generally and so and like I said
31:51 we're all in sync we're all in
31:54 discussion and we're in a great spot did
31:56 you sign a new deal signed a new deal
31:59 yes I'm on the fight and it's just that
32:01 usually just work for you here I've got
32:03 a piece here don't fire than you
32:06 renegotiate it's that blasted I believe
32:07 that's buzz what will happen after this
32:08 one I know
32:09 that's a no point of doing the eight
32:11 fight deals anymore if you're just gonna
32:12 renegotiate every single time yeah I
32:15 know you yeah yeah I'm confident it's
32:19 gonna be a good a nice paycheck most
32:23 ever probably in in my mixed martial
32:25 arts career yeah really hmm give us the
32:29 range we knew how much you made for
32:32 Mayweather yeah I'd say about it could
32:36 be I'm estimating a good 80 million 80
32:37 mmm come on
32:40 yeah because I have all like I said we
32:44 got the Australia and Canada and England
32:47 and England and Ireland then should be a
32:48 good one
32:52 Wow what did you make for Habib fifty
32:55 fifteen of it Wow eighty no one's ever
32:56 made anything most of many fighters
33:05 combined haven't made that think I'm
33:07 toast out here but I'm still the bread
33:09 you know this is the first time since
33:11 the Seaver fight that you're not a
33:13 champion or there's no stakes there's no
33:14 belt on the line or anything like that
33:16 even with Nate not a title fight we're
33:18 still a champion and whatnot does it
33:19 feel a little different now
33:22 no no I am the champ champ forever and always
33:23 always
33:26 it's in stone were you annoyed at the
33:28 BMF title stuff mom I thought it was
33:29 great yeah that was great
33:30 I guess straightaway I was like who will
33:32 show me that belt I wanted this I saw
33:33 the belt before Dana said that over to
33:35 me and then I was missing say no design
33:38 because I seen the drawer unloved at the
33:39 outline of it but I didn't see the color
33:40 of it I was estimating was gonna be the
33:42 BMF with the gold right and then when I
33:44 saw the silver and black and I don't
33:46 know about it sorry well scoop it up
33:48 though well I'm attitude to the thing
33:50 yeah definitely so do you almost feel
33:51 like those two should finish up their
33:53 business and maybe the winter fights you
33:56 cuz I was with our name cuz it ended
33:59 yeah yeah you don't know what wait wait
34:02 is now you're not I mean it's where did
34:03 where do you want to do it again I don't
34:05 think we were robbed at all right I mean
34:07 you could see Jorge dippin oh he was
34:09 dipping there enough at the end that I
34:11 toured around and that's where Nate's
34:14 only kicking in yeah
34:15 it would've been great to see the four
34:18 on five we didn't see it look whatever
34:20 see what happens you really feel that
34:24 the hub you Tony if I won't happen just
34:27 maybe you know possibly has nothing put
34:28 that supposed to happen four times I
34:30 mean they're known for pullin out ray

37:14 showed me a lot as well you know and and
37:16 came to my house and is there a lesson
37:18 or two that he that he taught you this
37:22 yeah a couple of just we went over some
37:24 things and I'll just keep it at that
37:25 okay hmm
37:27 do you ever go back and look at your
37:29 early fights even pre UFC or early
37:31 interview course yeah yes say that some
37:32 that's one thing that I've known right
37:35 because recently yeah definitely yeah I
37:37 went back and listened to my old self
37:38 you know no matter what way I was
37:42 thinking when I was when I was you know
37:44 everything was innocently everything was
37:45 just you know I mean not what it is now
37:49 are and that helped me a lot I was able
37:51 to go back and see what way my way of
37:53 thinking was they into it the way it is
37:57 now and you know just add what is useful
37:59 discard what is not you know Bruce Lee
38:02 quote that's what I don't and it gives
38:03 you motivation
38:04 yeah of course gives me a motivator
38:06 remember what that was like being on
38:08 welfare you know I saw I was actually
38:10 watching the documentary last night
38:13 the notorious documentary and und your
38:15 your lifelong partner are in like a tiny
38:17 tiny room in your parents upstairs and
38:19 you're both eating up there it's it's
38:21 saying to see that and not to see you
38:23 know what you become do you even
38:25 remember what that's like yeah of course
38:27 I stay I stay close to my roots always I
38:31 stay close to how I came up always in my
38:34 way of thinking of course God you've got
38:36 to you yeah because there's a part of
38:37 you that could forget ever you have all
38:38 this money you don't know what
38:40 do it in your buying things whenever you
38:42 want fancy clothes all that stuff
38:44 there's a part of you that could forget
38:45 that that's understandable
38:47 yeah but you haven't no no I made sure
38:49 to stay close to my roots stay close to
38:52 who I am and who I was and and that's it
38:54 you still won't never forget its
38:56 spending and thing you still do a lot
38:58 less though not less why is that I don't
38:59 know just I have a lot of teens right I don't
39:01 don't
39:03 like I said I actually said this to Tony
39:05 Robbins right cuz I read something about
39:07 LeBron James a while back about maybe a
39:09 year ago that he was steady spent 1.5
39:12 million annual on his health write
39:15 himself this is everything his
39:18 nutritionist training is everything and
39:19 I spent nothing
39:21 and I was like only in camp I bring a
39:23 team together of people and I was like
39:25 that's not the way to do all this so you
39:26 know me right but I drop I dropped money
39:28 on a blade in car or a blade all right
39:32 watch I'm gonna like put spend on myself
39:34 you know on my health and my fitness and
39:37 and that's helped me and then and then I
39:38 then you acquire more you're gonna
39:40 acquire it even more than when you're
39:42 shark and that's what I am now so unless
39:44 some possessions and things I suppose I
39:45 know but you've gotta go true right you
39:47 doughnut dough you're gonna always go
39:48 true that when you get our windfall you
39:50 know you're gonna sack any things do
39:52 just get a little bit it doesn't make
39:54 sight me as much as it would have you
39:56 know what I mean what excites me now is
39:58 creating you know I like I'd like to
39:59 create the things that I don't like the
40:01 clothing and I'm very much involved in
40:03 the designs and building building things
40:06 we're really working with my company
40:07 August McGregor and of course the
40:10 whiskey and the these ventures and and
40:13 that's what I enjoy doing so you're 31
40:14 now do you think you'll still be
40:21 fighting at 40 yeah yeah I don't know I
40:22 don't know it's probably but you're not
40:25 like a cap no no I'm gonna have a solid
40:27 couple years though I know I'll be
40:30 rocking I'll be rocking tell on to a
40:31 good 25 I'm gonna hit the Billy bottom
40:34 but if I'm 25 years of age the Billy
40:35 I'll be a billionaire but a hell on 25
40:38 that's that's so three and a half years
40:40 yeah really
40:42 mmm you're getting there yeah dude look
40:44 at those lists and compare yourself you
40:45 know when they put the highest and
40:51 earning absolute list one list now
40:54 well it alternates by year I think I was
40:57 not sure where I was this year not not
40:58 bad I think it was jeez I forgot now to
41:00 be honest but I was up there I was up
41:02 there I saw the decade when Floyd was
41:03 top of the decades yes
41:05 fair play Tom yeah and she's not so good
41:08 at the management of a great man how
41:10 close are you to the Billy I'm still a
41:12 good way away look what I mean I get
41:15 that I'll get there god I've got the
41:16 methods and it's something that excites
41:18 me and you just keep fighting in order
41:19 to get that right like you can't just
41:22 leave part of the success I'm not
41:24 waiting for word I know in Florida you
41:25 know I mean that's fine definitely helps
41:28 everything I finds opens up look at the
41:29 month let the bread I'm making sure the
41:31 fight game and I'm not even scratching
41:33 the surface on what I really probably
41:35 should be paid right I mean like the
41:37 backend money is where it's coming true
41:39 but it's it should be it should be
41:41 guaranteed right but I mean whenever it
41:44 is what it is so the fighting the fight
41:45 is definitely an animal to get there
41:48 like like the Mike Harrison Ford stunts
41:49 you want to have another boxing match
41:51 you feel like that's most certainly yeah
41:53 well I'd like to rematch Florida I think
41:54 we should rematch Floyd I mean he's
41:56 flirting with it and then when all this
41:57 and he can go and pick someone else it's
42:00 not gonna be the same it's not I don't
42:01 phenomenal I don't feel homeland that
42:03 belt and the only reason I lost that
42:07 belt was cause I prepared I prepared for
42:10 a back footed Philly shell style of
42:12 opponent and when the fight was like
42:14 that I was picking him apart then he
42:16 came forward and start pressing and I
42:18 wasn't sinking into my shots like I am
42:20 there one like my box and coaches under
42:21 my belt that I that are drilling
42:23 specific boxing things to enter me again
42:27 and I know I beat Floyd I know I beat
42:30 Floyd if we be matched and when we
42:31 rematch she's not gonna be one that
42:32 makes much noise but like he said it was
42:35 supposed to be it was supposed to be me
42:36 box and then we'll do one mixed martial
42:38 arts belt that was what was said and I
42:41 can tell his melt as well and was not
42:43 very not written but it was a variable
42:46 agreement ray and obviously that's not
42:48 gonna happen and I'm like me I don't
42:49 even I'm not gonna push him on that
42:51 either but I would like to box him I
42:54 think I think and that would be that
42:56 would be a good it would very much have
42:58 you even broach the subject yet
43:00 Stephenie we've definitely been talked
43:02 it's always kind of doctor no not to him but
43:03 but
43:05 it's his people yeah just all this time
43:06 because he's coming back and all this
43:08 yeah he sat with Dana wait at the
43:09 basketball game right they had a
43:11 handshake deal yeah it was a good
43:13 capital it was a good yeah yeah good
43:16 noisemaker this happen this year is
43:19 something good people to do business
43:21 with the Showtime people and Floyd did
43:24 you never know but it's not something
43:25 you're actively pursuing is just
43:27 something you want activity is what I'm
43:28 pursuing right so I'm just keeping
43:29 myself in shape
43:34 fresh focused and everything will happen
43:36 true that off of that so like that even
43:38 even even the mayor to build up over ten
43:41 weeks but ten weeks to prepare for that
43:43 and before that I wasn't in the rest I
43:46 wasn't you know I mean I was out messing
43:47 around the games and I mean I wasn't
43:49 good solid ten weeks now
43:52 now I'm fully focused so we'll see what
43:53 happens do you do look at that fight as
43:55 a man I could have been the one had I
43:57 not been doing that had I not been part
43:58 I could have been the one to beat him
44:01 the one guy I squandered that don't
44:02 squander it was a great it was a great
44:04 conversation you have a good internal
44:05 convert a good inner conversation you
44:07 have what a man when you've a fight with
44:08 him so it's great to fight flow at a
44:10 great day great to be in there with a
44:11 man Army's got he's a crafty veteran
44:13 he's truly craft you don't get the
44:16 profile or know 50 pro wins and an
44:21 extensive amateur career and you know I
44:23 mean so it was a great great experience
44:28 and I'm you know doing it again if not
44:30 in if it but I will happen that's gonna
44:32 happen again sings oh yeah we a mystic
44:35 man yeah it's happening again but also I
44:36 would be open to order box and belts you
44:39 know I know the money has been what
44:41 actually closed does a city close to
44:43 sign of money and what do you mean oh
44:47 yeah yeah what's that
44:49 now me and man look there's been talks
44:51 about the money for use well it's like
44:54 you versus Manny that's Bennett that's
44:55 there was enough for there was enough
44:57 are made on that year and what happened
45:00 just not yet not yet so but it's a possibility
45:01 possibility
45:03 very much so great in the poly Freud
45:05 like the Box Pauly is oh boy not that's
45:06 a bit about that's a bit of buzz as well
45:10 Pauly a box and bell and I want to
45:11 boxing it I will box again I'd love a
45:13 pocket I will get a boxing world title a
45:15 boxing world how is
45:16 and you'll probably have the box of
45:24 multiple times to get that yeah but I
45:25 would box multiple times I love boxing
45:28 I truly little box and so yeah I'm damn good
45:29 good
45:30 when you say sign pot what do you mean
45:32 excuse me sign Manny what do you mean
45:34 how does this negotiations going on you
45:37 know yourself right yeah okay
45:38 let's tell on this guy taken up a lot of
45:41 your time you know I I remember when you
45:43 beat Aldo you told me that I went from
45:45 nothing to something to everything right
45:47 yeah what a line that was yeah yeah yeah
45:49 I've had some good ones have a nice yes
45:51 and some good quotes yeah they put it on
45:53 clothes and sell them out quick that's
45:54 right but you know and Joe Rogan said
45:55 then we have to be out of fight you've
45:56 done it all sir
45:58 that's what he said you've done it all
46:00 sir so you know how wrong he was
46:02 everything I've done so much more it is
46:04 right yeah yeah what we gonna say anyway
46:07 so you have everything and then there
46:08 was a chance maybe people thought you
46:10 might lose everything right and that
46:12 here you are and even sitting in front
46:13 of you and I know people aren't gonna
46:15 believe this you're a different guy
46:16 you're different than the one that I
46:18 spoke to an artist even different than
46:20 the one prior to the Habib fight you
46:21 were a little bit you know all over the
46:22 place I don't remember the interview
46:23 that you did with the Mack life standing
46:24 right over there you were looking all

46:32 this the new chapter is this a new
46:34 Connor is this back to the old Connor I
46:36 would say it's a new Connor I just feel
46:39 reinvigorated you know excited let's
46:42 let's see yeah the illusion of all the
46:44 other stuff is is amazing for excitement

46:48 the fans are very excited that people
46:49 already excited to see this bounce see
46:51 me competing I'm very excited to be back
46:54 and to be to be gift gifting this to the
46:56 people and I'd be remiss if I don't ask
46:57 for a prediction cuz that's what you
