this question is for connor lingan over there [Music] hey [Applause] it is question all right i'm extremely confident if you can't tell i'm coming in with with full preparation full commitment and full confidence in my in my striking abilities and my shots and who knows maybe a submission but i'm going to be going for the knockout because i knew who jeremy was you know jeremy was a good fighter and was a former lightweight then down into the federal division good power in his hands but their timing was just impeccable there and that was it i'm the money fight in the mail mail at all weight division so everybody else up here it's as true now as it was back then you know it's probably even more truer now all tate him up so nice i put the feet up then he mimicked him when he put the feet of his hands right nowhere to protect the belt and i just smashed it off the table i know that good boys that was in my hometown dublin ireland what about you're a credit to the community it was great to share that it was great to share the arena with me on both occasions i have nothing but respect for nathan and nick you know i wish them well listen you're here now you have a monster right here 45

since since that time right he's gone he's fought how many times since that damn press conference oh 20 times how can you not give it but how can you not tip the hat to that i'm not really interested in what what he has to say to be honest you know i like donald no no ill will against donald but i'm going to put him away and i'm going to put him away smoothie how will donald and his wife celebrate

ufc event oh why are you going to enjoy this this is a good one this is the biggest one the best one so good man good to have you thank you appreciate it you think it's the most dangerous element of cowboy's game i can read it on like a children's book to be honest you know he's a good he's a good fighter he's got some good tricks up his sleeve but we are well prepared and we'll see him tonight it's gonna be a good night hopefully he's got some hooked on phonics we'll see what's going on i don't know [Applause] hello how are you coming for the hot tub actually as far as the cat's out of the bag you don't have to worry about if connor comes there's not going to be any issues this is like awkward and comfortable yeah what's up yeah yeah so i'm going to punch in the face as i came in two days bro cool me too as they say like a happy is a scary fighter so i'm actually really excited to see him go out there [Music] he's always been a killer but now his mind is just like zen in a perfect spot i'm actually scared for cerrone to be honest [Music] so it's about they're trying to pull me back trying to hold me back on the rants and i'm just raring to go so soon a couple days and when he got up on the stage he speaks very well you know and he grew the sport tremendously i mean the dude's a superstar he brings a lot of eyes a lot of attention so uh you know right about that time i was like ah this dude he's he's got he's the whole package man for sure saturday night man i plan on doing everything right what cowboy shows up who knows man but i hope the bad shows up that's what i'm hoping for and then leading into the eddie alvarez uh fight i just felt like i was in prime condition and untouchable so i'm looking to acquire that that time in there again so ufc fans we'd like to

baby five seconds five [Laughter] thank you 170 for official cowboy 170 for mr mcgregor good luck i'm a professional mma fighter from the beginning conor mcgregor's mission has been to prove the doubters wrong then they said he had met his match that he had been exposed he's done they said things were impossible [Music] dateline las vegas nevada but now refocused and back to what he wants what he wants is to regain his position at the top of the heat and conor mcgregor is one of the most charismatic and enigmatic fighters to ever compete in any combat sport with us tonight only the greatest of all time six-time super bowl champion from your england patriots tom brady and who was among the early arrivers here tonight and there he is folks the man many of these fans have come from far and wide to see the notorious conor mcgregor i i don't anticipate any patience i anticipate him trying to close the distance and land bombs something different from the gates built ram tough you can see it in the greats and that walk is now mine [Music] [Applause] this is uh i got goosebumps so i'm very very excited right now [Applause] conor mcgregor when he's on point when he's at his best is one of the greatest of all time conor mcgregor a prime 31 donald cowboy cerrone will be 37 in march cerrone the taller man by several inches but it is conor mcgregor who will enjoy a one-inch reach advantage tonight [Applause] [Applause] all right gentlemen we've been over the rules protect yourself at all times follow my instructions we're going to keep it clean touch gloves let's do it in blue con mcgregor with a couple early shoulder strikes is increased oh dogs knows he's already bleeding [Applause] mcgregor announces his return with about as many style points as you could produce that's crazy let's look at it again i mean i need to see that again i mean he's hitting him with the collar bone he's hitting him with his shoulder and then that high kick lands right on the jaw yeah right over the guard man is this something that you've worked on yeah yeah i i change levels with it and come up into it so it's a good shot baby boom they knew he wasn't expecting that little level change little level band walk they're into it so i'm gonna party tonight celebrate spend time with me family and then get back in the gym and try it and any one of these little melody fools can get it you have to be feeling on top of the world after a finish like that so quickly after a month layoff how you feeling yeah i feel really good you know still more work to do you know i'm happy with where i'm at and where i've got to um onwards we go it's a good shot to shoulder i wonder what all the so-called experts say he's just a left shoulder you know the way they say he's just the left hand right that that record alone is probably worth more than a world title in my mind you know have the most head kick knockouts since in the ufc that's insane but i i felt like he was coming for that and i was i was going to surprise him with my arm on some happy days i got him in terms of when or who um leaning towards anything in specific the who doesn't matter you know he would have just that guy you know that's what i'd be saying the most unrealistically really you know what i mean what were your thoughts on on his performance i was blown away he looked unbelievable you won't hear another peep out of me about fighting at 170. people are gonna say that cowboy was shot which is total [ __ ] and uh conor mcgregor came out he looked fast he hit hard he had a game plan and uh he finished a real tough kid who came to win that kid has an incredible fight iq and he has the speed the power and the ability to back it up many of you know throughout the years with me talking i'm a big believer in ring rust i believe in ring rust it's real i've seen it i've seen it happen i've seen it play out we didn't see it tonight so it was good it was awesome i i loved it i like conor mcgregor i mean i know you guys all you guys the fans everybody bust my balls that you know about my relationship with conor but i did not like this kid he always had told me that he respected cowboy he likes cowboy thinks cowboy's a family man and a good guy and has always fought all the best in the world you know and things like that so uh i knew he liked cowboy and respected him i'm just wondering and you've spoken about how big this khabib uh conor fight rematch would be how big do you think a tony ferguson conor mcgregor fight could be i mean that big uh conor mcgregor and this guy right here with the camera is a huge fight yeah i mean this guy is such a huge superstar i mean i put him up there with tyson leonard uh you know ali all of them but when you say you can't put a number on can we say 2 billion no i just said you can't put a number on it you can't put it might be more than two billion who knows what the number is it's matthew that was weird you try to get your life back together and you have this great comeback story and i think tonight was that story for conor mcgregor you're always going to have people that won't like you but i think a lot of people jumped back on the on the mcgregor bandwagon tonight and became fans i see it you can really catch a man so um i knew i caught him with the fourth one off guard then i caught one or two more and when we separate the nose and the eye was boost and it's a good shot i've utilized that many times and i'm in the gym and happy with it very very very honored to share the cage with donald and and and um very proud you know it's he's a good man and he's got cool people behind them and much respect so if you get a quick win and then you kind of go off then all of a sudden it can be four weeks without a full training you know what i mean it would without a real training session and then you slipped behind again so i'm gonna make sure not to do that and get a good session in the day after tomorrow and carry on i achieved it all right i i broke the game before i was 30 years of age simple as i one belt became not enough one bill's almost not even enough anymore you gotta get the two to even start it's on my call and i'll ring and say hey we're in the gym now the next half an hour make sure everyone's there i just felt like i disrespected the people that believed in me and supported me and and i and that's what that's that's what led me to recenter myself and and get back to where i was at it's just about commitment that's it you put in the work you'll you'll reap the rewards there's no there's no secret sauce to this recognize what you need to do and [ __ ] do it and you will succeed
