1
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:26,819
How's it going?
Uh, welcome to Shinobi Vlog.
2
00:00:26,819 --> 00:00:28,613
My name is Conor McGregor,
3
00:00:28,613 --> 00:00:32,200
I'm a mixed martial artist
with the Ultimate Fighting Championship,
4
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,744
and I'm from Dublin, Ireland.
5
00:00:34,744 --> 00:00:36,079
[indistinct chattering]
6
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:37,789
- [interviewer] What scares you most?
- [inhales]
7
00:00:37,789 --> 00:00:41,375
[Conor] Uh, I don't know.
I don't really fear...
8
00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:44,879
fear too much. I don't fear... I don't
really think about things like that.
9
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:47,673
[mumbles] Nothing fears me.
10
00:00:47,673 --> 00:00:52,428
People might, might expect me to say
losing might fear me, or defeat.
11
00:00:52,428 --> 00:00:55,640
Defeat isn't...
isn't something that fears me,
12
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,478
success isn't something that inspires me
either, you know what I mean?
13
00:01:00,478 --> 00:01:03,189
Success doesn't inspire me,
and fear doesn't...
14
00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:05,733
and defeat doesn't fear me.
15
00:01:05,733 --> 00:01:07,777
[interviewer] What d'you wanna be?
16
00:01:07,777 --> 00:01:09,862
That's another thing,
"What do you wanna be?"
17
00:01:09,862 --> 00:01:11,572
I don't... I don't wanna be anything.
18
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:15,159
I-- I am...
I am everything I wanna be.
19
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:17,328
I'm already there, you know?
20
00:01:17,328 --> 00:01:19,580
I don't, I don't want anything.
21
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:23,251
People say, people say like,
"I want this."
22
00:01:23,251 --> 00:01:26,129
Or "I wanna, I wanna do this, or do that."
23
00:01:26,129 --> 00:01:29,382
But the vibe you're putting out is want.
24
00:01:29,382 --> 00:01:33,010
You're always going to want.
I always have the attitude that I have.
25
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:36,472
Again, I always felt
like I was a black belt.
26
00:01:36,472 --> 00:01:40,560
You know what I mean? I always
felt like I was the world champion.
27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,604
I always felt like
I already could do everything.
28
00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:45,857
Know what I mean?
But I don't want anything,
29
00:01:45,857 --> 00:01:47,775
I have everything. That's the mindset.
30
00:01:47,775 --> 00:01:49,277
I mean, I have everything.
31
00:01:49,277 --> 00:01:50,611
I have everything!
32
00:01:51,904 --> 00:01:53,823
[opening theme music playing]
33
00:02:06,711 --> 00:02:09,714
UFC 257 is officially in the books,
34
00:02:09,714 --> 00:02:11,924
and you probably heard by now
35
00:02:11,924 --> 00:02:14,010
that Dustin Poirier
defeated Conor McGregor...
36
00:02:14,010 --> 00:02:17,722
Dustin Poirier dusted up
Conor McGregor in the second round.
37
00:02:17,722 --> 00:02:19,599
Holy shit, that just happened!
38
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:22,935
...knocking out Conor McGregor,
the whole world was watching...
39
00:02:22,935 --> 00:02:27,064
- Yeah, he fought well in the beginning...
- [man 1] He did.
40
00:02:27,064 --> 00:02:30,026
Poirier just mangled the leg
of Conor McGregor.
41
00:02:30,026 --> 00:02:31,569
He walked out with a cane.
42
00:02:31,569 --> 00:02:33,112
His legs were shot.
43
00:02:33,112 --> 00:02:35,948
I just feel like Conor McGregor
really shit the bed out there.
44
00:02:35,948 --> 00:02:38,701
John Kavanagh told us
before the last fight,
45
00:02:38,701 --> 00:02:41,329
this is the best Conor McGregor
you've ever seen.
46
00:02:41,329 --> 00:02:44,957
And it was without doubt the worst
Conor McGregor we've ever seen.
47
00:02:44,957 --> 00:02:47,210
[Joe] I don't think he's the same animal.
48
00:02:47,210 --> 00:02:49,545
[man 2] Wasn't the Conor of old.
49
00:02:49,545 --> 00:02:52,590
[man 3] That ain't the same guy.
That's not the same guy.
50
00:02:52,590 --> 00:02:56,135
[man 4] We need the old Conor back,
we need the trash-talking Conor...
51
00:02:56,135 --> 00:02:59,347
[man 5] I told you, he's a rich man now.
Got a lot of money.
52
00:02:59,347 --> 00:03:02,975
[man 6] He was in the gutter,
in Abu Dhabi or Dubai,
53
00:03:02,975 --> 00:03:04,268
sipping up.
54
00:03:04,268 --> 00:03:06,228
[man 7] It's hard to get up
at 5:00 in the morning
55
00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:08,439
and go running
when you're sleeping in silk pajamas.
56
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:13,069
[man 8] Sleeping on super-yachts
and living a billionaire lifestyle.
57
00:03:13,069 --> 00:03:17,281
[man 9] The difference between
wanting to win and needing to win...
58
00:03:17,281 --> 00:03:19,951
McGregor is in that want-to-win stage.
59
00:03:19,951 --> 00:03:22,870
He's fighting dudes who still need to win.
60
00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:26,707
They're hungrier, and if McGregor
can't get hungry like that,
61
00:03:26,707 --> 00:03:28,417
then he should hang it up.
62
00:03:35,091 --> 00:03:37,927
{\an8}[Julian] Conor, he had been
under a bit of pressure,
63
00:03:37,927 --> 00:03:40,096
{\an8}from, from a lot of different angles.
64
00:03:41,013 --> 00:03:43,849
He needed a bit of breathing space.
65
00:03:43,849 --> 00:03:47,103
He needed that little bit of time
to find himself.
66
00:03:48,938 --> 00:03:52,775
{\an8}[Colin] Nothing quite feels
like losing a fight
67
00:03:52,775 --> 00:03:54,819
{\an8}because it's prime.
68
00:03:54,819 --> 00:03:58,322
If the referee wasn't there,
you would've died, and you know it.
69
00:03:59,115 --> 00:04:02,410
He's got to ask himself, "Do I want it?"
70
00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:05,246
Do you wanna put up
with that misery in your underwear
71
00:04:05,246 --> 00:04:07,498
in front of 20,000 people,
in front of the world?
72
00:04:07,498 --> 00:04:09,709
It's as... it's as honest as it gets.
73
00:04:11,669 --> 00:04:14,797
And then all the criticism that comes
from that, when you win or lose.
74
00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:17,675
Fact is, when you walk out there,
75
00:04:17,675 --> 00:04:20,720
and the bell goes ding-dong,
d'you wanna kill the guy or not?
76
00:04:25,141 --> 00:04:27,560
{\an8}[documentarian] That's how it's been
for the last few weeks?
77
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,854
You coming in here, dead of the night,
getting your work done?
78
00:04:29,854 --> 00:04:32,898
Yeah, that's it. Two sessions a day.
79
00:04:32,898 --> 00:04:35,985
Just doing me work. Head down.
80
00:04:35,985 --> 00:04:37,653
Fully focused.
81
00:04:38,988 --> 00:04:40,531
And enjoying it, I have to say.
82
00:04:41,198 --> 00:04:44,327
You know. A lot of time on my own,
obviously with the family,
83
00:04:44,327 --> 00:04:46,704
but alone from the team.
84
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:48,372
You know... [lightly pants]
85
00:04:48,372 --> 00:04:51,167
...a lot of soul searching
and deep thinking.
86
00:04:52,168 --> 00:04:55,796
How I wanna go about the next one
and what I should be doing.
87
00:04:55,796 --> 00:05:00,134
You can learn a lot from tough times,
you know what I mean?
88
00:05:00,134 --> 00:05:04,305
If not... the most.
You learn the most from...
89
00:05:04,305 --> 00:05:07,224
your hardships, your losses.
90
00:05:07,224 --> 00:05:10,895
Then come back better than ever.
And that's what I feel.
91
00:05:10,895 --> 00:05:14,190
- I really feel I've figured it out.
- [indistinct chattering]
92
00:05:14,190 --> 00:05:17,151
I can feel my purpose,
I feel like I'm glowing again.
93
00:05:17,151 --> 00:05:21,155
I'm getting that glow about me again.
And, uh...
94
00:05:21,155 --> 00:05:24,450
[documentarian]
Do you feel that's a solo journey?
95
00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:26,869
Ah, well, of course it's a solo journey.
96
00:05:26,869 --> 00:05:30,623
I've got an incredible team who all help
me out and are all there for me,
97
00:05:30,623 --> 00:05:32,541
but it is a solo journey.
98
00:05:32,541 --> 00:05:35,294
I'm the one that has to walk
into the cage at the end of the day.
99
00:05:35,294 --> 00:05:37,380
So, um...
100
00:05:40,633 --> 00:05:44,178
[men shouting]
101
00:05:44,178 --> 00:05:46,472
[man 1] McGregor! Yes!
102
00:05:46,472 --> 00:05:48,432
[man 2] Champion!
103
00:05:49,475 --> 00:05:52,311
[serene music]
104
00:06:05,074 --> 00:06:08,369
{\an8}[Audie] Conor's someone
that takes his losses in the chin,
105
00:06:08,369 --> 00:06:10,454
{\an8}but comes right back with a vengeance
106
00:06:10,454 --> 00:06:14,250
and shows that he's learned
and he's grown from that experience.
107
00:06:15,251 --> 00:06:18,671
When he's faced with adversity,
he runs back into it,
108
00:06:18,671 --> 00:06:20,422
as opposed to away from it.
109
00:06:22,341 --> 00:06:23,717
And so, he told me,
110
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:26,053
I don't want anything else
but that rematch.
111
00:06:27,888 --> 00:06:30,057
- [tense music]
- [man 1] Breaking UFC news...
112
00:06:30,057 --> 00:06:34,061
[man 2] It's official. Dustin Poirier
vs Conor McGregor 3. UFC 264.
113
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:36,939
[man 3] Dustin Poirier,
Conor McGregor, part 3.
114
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:39,441
[man 4] I can't overstate
how big this fight is for Conor.
115
00:06:39,441 --> 00:06:41,777
[man 5] The pressure
is on McGregor to come back.
116
00:06:41,777 --> 00:06:44,238
[man 6] There's a lot on the line.
117
00:06:44,238 --> 00:06:45,906
[man 7] He can't continue
losing like this.
118
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:48,200
[man 8] As he stepped in there,
he was so focused on...
119
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,162
[man 9] Conor was just
so predictable in that last fight.
120
00:06:51,162 --> 00:06:54,832
[man 10] Don't know if he and
his team can construct the right game plan
121
00:06:54,832 --> 00:06:58,502
to defeat the best 155-pound fighter
in the world.
122
00:06:58,502 --> 00:07:02,548
[interviewer] What were your thoughts
this week with the added media attention?
123
00:07:02,548 --> 00:07:05,801
I don't pay attention to it.
I just pay attention to my team.
124
00:07:05,801 --> 00:07:09,138
The people in my circle.
Nobody else matters.
125
00:07:09,138 --> 00:07:11,807
That's perfect,
straight to the mat there.
126
00:07:11,807 --> 00:07:13,976
[Conor] My team is my team since day one.
127
00:07:13,976 --> 00:07:16,645
My coach has been my coach since day one.
128
00:07:16,645 --> 00:07:19,648
I feel people go to different gyms
and go in search of something,
129
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,693
but it's a sign of a weak fighter, to me.
130
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,697
You build it yourself with a belief
in your surroundings,
131
00:07:26,697 --> 00:07:29,200
belief in your work
and belief in your team.
132
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,662
I listen to my team, show up at the gym,
put more work in than anyone else.
133
00:07:34,747 --> 00:07:37,124
And at the same time,
no one can critique me... myself
134
00:07:37,124 --> 00:07:38,542
more than I critique myself.
135
00:07:38,542 --> 00:07:40,669
You know what I mean? So...
136
00:07:40,669 --> 00:07:43,214
what other people say
doesn't really come into the equation.
137
00:07:45,674 --> 00:07:48,344
[commentator] Nice body shot there
from Conor.
138
00:07:50,346 --> 00:07:52,181
[Conor] Catch that left-turn kick,
139
00:07:52,181 --> 00:07:54,391
off of something coming
on the back.
140
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:58,312
Right. That definitely could be a feature
of Dustin's plan, you know?
141
00:07:58,312 --> 00:08:00,147
Yeah, lay-up, yeah. Yeah.
142
00:08:00,147 --> 00:08:02,525
- [John] Poor on round three.
- [Conor] Yeah.
143
00:08:02,525 --> 00:08:04,026
There's nice shots here.
144
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:05,694
- Isn't there like?
- Yeah.
145
00:08:05,694 --> 00:08:07,821
Around the temple,
he's weak around the temple.
146
00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:09,156
The dome, like...
147
00:08:09,156 --> 00:08:11,116
There's a few glancing elbows there.
148
00:08:12,701 --> 00:08:14,745
{\an8}They kinda pulled this trick
149
00:08:14,745 --> 00:08:16,914
{\an8}outta the back pocket,
and fair play.
150
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,333
We know that now.
151
00:08:20,251 --> 00:08:22,169
Look, no one loses better than Conor.
152
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:26,465
It takes a very special mindset
to be able to sit back,
153
00:08:26,465 --> 00:08:29,009
have your ego in check,
watch the tape back,
154
00:08:29,009 --> 00:08:30,719
and say, "We screwed up here,
155
00:08:30,719 --> 00:08:33,472
why so many calf kicks?
We never had this issue before.
156
00:08:33,472 --> 00:08:36,433
Where am I weak?"
Well, look. Here, here, and here.
157
00:08:40,563 --> 00:08:44,275
The great thing with Conor
is that he understands
158
00:08:44,275 --> 00:08:48,237
that failure is a necessary ingredient
towards success and improvement.
159
00:08:48,904 --> 00:08:50,781
And you go out there and you do it.
160
00:08:58,747 --> 00:09:01,083
[clapping]
161
00:09:02,293 --> 00:09:04,920
{\an8}If you were squaring up
in front of me...
162
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,631
{\an8}I can't kick that,
and if I try and kick that,
163
00:09:07,631 --> 00:09:10,384
{\an8}that left hand's gonna fuckin'...
like a missile down the pipe.
164
00:09:10,384 --> 00:09:12,845
He won't get a heavy lead
like he did last time.
165
00:09:12,845 --> 00:09:15,389
He hit me with 18 kicks,
I hit him with one.
166
00:09:15,389 --> 00:09:17,933
Eighteen low kicks, I hit him with one.
167
00:09:17,933 --> 00:09:22,813
You know what I mean?
I'll be the 18, he'll be three or four.
168
00:09:22,813 --> 00:09:25,983
You know what I mean? And that'll be
in the first two fuckin' minutes.
169
00:09:25,983 --> 00:09:28,402
[Owen] Yeah, man, excellent job.
Good leg kick.
170
00:09:28,402 --> 00:09:31,363
Boom, boom, go.
171
00:09:31,363 --> 00:09:33,657
Kick and go!
172
00:09:33,657 --> 00:09:35,784
One more round to finish five.
173
00:09:35,784 --> 00:09:37,620
Let's do that high-high kick.
174
00:09:37,620 --> 00:09:40,748
[Owen] Now push! Now push!
175
00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:43,959
Back up and then spin. Hey!
176
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:48,464
{\an8}[John] One of the very common questions
I get is,
177
00:09:48,464 --> 00:09:50,466
{\an8}"Oh, did you know right away with Conor?"
178
00:09:50,466 --> 00:09:53,427
{\an8}Or, "When someone comes in,
do you know they're special?"
179
00:09:53,427 --> 00:09:54,887
I'd be lying if I said yes.
180
00:09:54,887 --> 00:09:57,723
Because I don't know if they can do it
every day for six months.
181
00:09:57,723 --> 00:10:00,726
So it's very tempting to say
the wall came down
182
00:10:00,726 --> 00:10:03,562
and split the mats in two,
and out walked Conor...
183
00:10:03,562 --> 00:10:07,316
Oh, no, he was just a kid
that just wouldn't stop showing up,
184
00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:11,070
wouldn't stop messaging me
outside of class times with his questions,
185
00:10:11,070 --> 00:10:14,031
and that's what separates him
from the others.
186
00:10:14,031 --> 00:10:17,201
Every session is done with a mindset
187
00:10:17,201 --> 00:10:19,286
that this is for a UFC championship
188
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:22,915
in Madison Square Garden,
with half the world watching me.
189
00:10:22,915 --> 00:10:25,918
Those daily repetitions
done with a mindset
190
00:10:25,918 --> 00:10:28,962
of somebody
that's winning a title every day.
191
00:10:31,382 --> 00:10:32,925
[Conor] It was a tough session.
192
00:10:32,925 --> 00:10:35,678
The sessions I need
and the sessions I'm relishing.
193
00:10:35,678 --> 00:10:37,304
I'm enjoying them very much,
194
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:40,891
so keep it going, six weeks to go, today.
195
00:10:40,891 --> 00:10:44,103
That's a camp for people, six weeks.
196
00:10:44,937 --> 00:10:47,231
I'm full of energy, I'm fresh.
197
00:10:47,815 --> 00:10:50,442
Keep it going. We've got this.
198
00:10:57,116 --> 00:10:58,826
[kids chattering]
199
00:10:59,618 --> 00:11:01,704
This is my new son, Rian.
200
00:11:03,956 --> 00:11:07,793
- The next... the next champ.
- [kids playing in background]
201
00:11:07,793 --> 00:11:09,128
All right, buddy?
202
00:11:09,128 --> 00:11:10,838
One week old.
203
00:11:10,838 --> 00:11:12,464
One week old, yeah.
204
00:11:13,674 --> 00:11:15,634
So just the smell of him, and all.
205
00:11:15,634 --> 00:11:17,678
[chuckles] It's great.
206
00:11:18,637 --> 00:11:21,974
Hey there, buddy.
Another little one to teach.
207
00:11:23,016 --> 00:11:25,602
Now I've got Junior
that's gonna help me teach as well.
208
00:11:26,395 --> 00:11:29,148
I'm excited.
He's very good with him as well.
209
00:11:32,734 --> 00:11:36,405
{\an8}Dee had the third child, Rian.
He's a beautiful baby boy.
210
00:11:37,531 --> 00:11:40,325
And, you know, I've seen Conor grow
211
00:11:40,325 --> 00:11:43,412
with every new family member
that he's brought into this world.
212
00:11:43,412 --> 00:11:46,498
- He's smiling a little bit, isn't he?
- He's smiling.
213
00:11:46,498 --> 00:11:50,043
[Audie] I can see, honestly,
a twinkle in his eye.
214
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:51,628
[Conor chuckles]
215
00:11:51,628 --> 00:11:54,631
{\an8}- Daddy, can I have some more?
- Want some more food?
216
00:11:56,717 --> 00:11:59,428
{\an8}[Audie] He does it all for them.
217
00:12:01,555 --> 00:12:04,975
Like The Lion King. [giggles]
Look at his little face.
218
00:12:04,975 --> 00:12:08,103
[punches landing]
219
00:12:08,103 --> 00:12:09,480
[indistinct chattering]
220
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,608
Again. Hey! Nice one.
221
00:12:14,026 --> 00:12:17,321
The difference between that
and that, you know?
222
00:12:17,321 --> 00:12:19,573
So, just a slide back,
different shot.
223
00:12:19,573 --> 00:12:22,826
[Owen] Thirteen minutes.
Thirteen minutes to go.
224
00:12:26,455 --> 00:12:29,416
[Conor grunts]
225
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:32,836
[Owen] Sixteen minutes.
Sixteen minutes gone.
226
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:40,552
[groans]
227
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:44,223
[Conor] On the ankle as well.
228
00:12:46,141 --> 00:12:48,727
A little sore on the shin.
229
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:52,481
Throwing them and sometimes
they lift and hit the knee,
230
00:12:52,481 --> 00:12:56,443
but it's all good.
Couple of days or a week...
231
00:12:57,736 --> 00:12:59,988
of minding it,
232
00:12:59,988 --> 00:13:01,907
and I should be good to go again.
233
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:11,875
{\an8}One of the things that... unfortunate...
Conor had to deal with
234
00:13:11,875 --> 00:13:14,711
{\an8}was a lot of swelling around that ankle.
235
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:18,048
We feared that it was a stress fracture.
236
00:13:19,424 --> 00:13:23,220
The X-rays done in Dubai came back
that it was a deep bone bruise.
237
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:28,100
So, we were trying to figure out,
how do we get him through this camp,
238
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:32,104
finish camp and get him to fight?
Or do we have to push the fight back?
239
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:35,816
It's not a decision
that's taken lightly at all,
240
00:13:35,816 --> 00:13:38,277
particularly when Conor
never tries to pull...
241
00:13:38,277 --> 00:13:41,154
He tries to avoid--
He doesn't wanna talk about it.
242
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:43,156
But at the end of the day, for us,
243
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:47,536
we have to first make sure his health
and safety is put above everything else.
244
00:13:48,829 --> 00:13:52,666
This happened right before he flew to LA.
245
00:14:02,718 --> 00:14:05,971
[Conor] My surgeon is the head doctor,
so we came out to see him,
246
00:14:05,971 --> 00:14:07,472
to chat about the ankle.
247
00:14:07,472 --> 00:14:10,767
A couple of days' rest, naturally,
after the last mesocycle.
248
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:12,227
So I'm okay to do all this.
249
00:14:12,227 --> 00:14:15,188
Then I want to start pushing,
getting back to training.
250
00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:18,400
I want to kick again, bounce again,
spar again.
251
00:14:18,942 --> 00:14:22,362
If these are things I can't really do,
there's gonna be an issue.
252
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:26,033
I'm gonna see how it unfolds
and make a decision what to do after that.
253
00:14:26,867 --> 00:14:29,620
I've been sparring a lot
with no shin pads.
254
00:14:29,620 --> 00:14:32,247
{\an8}Obviously,
there's to be a trauma in the, in the...
255
00:14:32,247 --> 00:14:35,334
{\an8}bunch of low kicks, the last time.
I wanted to be sparring
256
00:14:35,334 --> 00:14:38,587
{\an8}and training with no shin pads,
so I can feel the exact force.
257
00:14:38,587 --> 00:14:41,548
So I threw a couple of kicks,
I've thrown loads of kicks,
258
00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:44,259
one of them hit the knee with the shin,
259
00:14:44,259 --> 00:14:47,137
and the other one hit the knee
with the ankles. Two separate kicks.
260
00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:49,556
So, is this part sore?
261
00:14:49,556 --> 00:14:51,058
Not when you press it, no.
262
00:14:51,058 --> 00:14:54,561
{\an8}Your bone's bruised on this.
You got a big bone bruise here.
263
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:57,564
{\an8}- It shows that, does it?
- I'll show you the MRI scan.
264
00:14:57,564 --> 00:15:00,943
- So, whenever you do that...
- [cracks]
265
00:15:00,943 --> 00:15:03,528
When I do that,
I can feel something here.
266
00:15:03,528 --> 00:15:07,574
What you're feeling there
is the swelling around the bone, here.
267
00:15:07,574 --> 00:15:09,952
I have a feeling, when you kick,
268
00:15:09,952 --> 00:15:12,371
you kick with force, so your leg stops,
269
00:15:12,371 --> 00:15:14,748
- your ankle and foot keep coming.
- Yeah.
270
00:15:14,748 --> 00:15:17,334
- [Dr. Neal] Does this hurt when I do that?
- [Conor] No.
271
00:15:17,334 --> 00:15:19,920
- So that's what happens when he kicks.
- [John] Yeah.
272
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,130
[Dr. Neal] It'll stop here,
this will come forward.
273
00:15:22,130 --> 00:15:23,924
If that doesn't hurt you,
that's a good sign.
274
00:15:23,924 --> 00:15:26,927
- [Conor] Yeah.
- Let me show you what you have here.
275
00:15:26,927 --> 00:15:28,804
- So that's new.
- [Conor] What?
276
00:15:28,804 --> 00:15:30,263
The bone bruise.
277
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:32,641
[Conor] That's from the kick?
That's from kicking the knee?
278
00:15:32,641 --> 00:15:35,727
Yeah, and it's also from the added impact
279
00:15:35,727 --> 00:15:38,271
of what you're doing to train,
the running too.
280
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:43,360
I guess the real reason we came here
was to get a time estimate
281
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,655
of what you think
that this is going to take.
282
00:15:46,655 --> 00:15:49,825
[Audie] That, or figure out
if we should push the fight back.
283
00:15:49,825 --> 00:15:52,744
[Dr. Neal] Yeah. It's gonna be,
basically, based on his symptoms,
284
00:15:52,744 --> 00:15:54,746
not based on how you follow it like this.
285
00:15:54,746 --> 00:15:57,332
I think that you decrease the impact,
286
00:15:57,332 --> 00:16:00,752
let him go into the Octagon
and do what he'd normally be doing
287
00:16:00,752 --> 00:16:03,422
at this point before a fight,
and see how it responds.
288
00:16:03,422 --> 00:16:06,258
If it gets worse
289
00:16:06,258 --> 00:16:09,302
over the course of a week or so,
290
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:11,013
then we gotta shut it down.
291
00:16:11,013 --> 00:16:13,682
When you're training,
as soon as you make contact
292
00:16:13,682 --> 00:16:17,728
with that part of your ankle
with somebody's shin or knee,
293
00:16:17,728 --> 00:16:19,813
if you hit it like that...
294
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,315
anything hard-- There's no padding here,
295
00:16:22,315 --> 00:16:24,901
there's no muscle or anything
under the skin here,
296
00:16:25,402 --> 00:16:27,654
it's gonna light you up. And so...
297
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:30,073
if we at least pad it,
298
00:16:30,073 --> 00:16:33,076
for training, it's not going
to eliminate the impact,
299
00:16:33,076 --> 00:16:36,413
but you need to be able
to throw some kicks to...
300
00:16:36,413 --> 00:16:39,750
- [Conor] To go through the motion.
- ...to go through the motion of training.
301
00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:44,254
Once I can go through the mechanisms
of it and not be limping then after it,
302
00:16:44,254 --> 00:16:47,257
I'll be happy with that.
303
00:16:47,257 --> 00:16:49,176
[osteopath] I mean, I could cut this bit.
304
00:16:49,176 --> 00:16:51,386
[Conor] Yeah, perfect.
305
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:52,888
Perfect, man.
306
00:16:52,888 --> 00:16:55,474
{\an8}What you need to do
is go get your stance,
307
00:16:55,474 --> 00:16:57,809
{\an8}- 'cause it's gonna get very hard.
- Yeah.
308
00:16:57,809 --> 00:17:02,022
[osteopath] See, that's better, right?
But the question is, is it functional?
309
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:05,025
- [man] When you bounce around?
- [Conor] It is functional.
310
00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:08,278
[osteopath] You can take stress off,
train and feel confident.
311
00:17:08,278 --> 00:17:09,696
[Conor] That's it. That's all I need.
312
00:17:09,696 --> 00:17:12,741
He's gonna have to have this for training.
313
00:17:12,741 --> 00:17:15,118
This is gonna keep coming back
if he doesn't.
314
00:17:15,118 --> 00:17:18,038
[Audie] This gives some confidence to know
there's an adjustment we have to do
315
00:17:18,038 --> 00:17:19,623
from an ongoing perspective,
316
00:17:19,623 --> 00:17:23,001
what we've been training,
this gives us all the tools we need.
317
00:17:23,001 --> 00:17:25,378
He's exposing it to what got you here
in the first place,
318
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:27,798
so this is, going forward,
319
00:17:27,798 --> 00:17:30,383
- stuff he should work on.
- No problem.
320
00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:32,094
Thank you so much.
321
00:17:32,094 --> 00:17:34,262
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
322
00:17:34,262 --> 00:17:36,139
Two geniuses here.
323
00:17:36,139 --> 00:17:38,308
I wanna be correct going in here.
324
00:17:38,308 --> 00:17:41,645
I'm giving nothing.
I'm not giving an inch with this fight.
325
00:17:41,645 --> 00:17:43,355
There's a lot on the line,
326
00:17:43,355 --> 00:17:46,983
and hopefully in a couple of days,
it'll settle and we'll be good.
327
00:17:46,983 --> 00:17:48,235
But we'll see.
328
00:17:57,786 --> 00:18:00,455
[Conor] Point out the difference
to the UFC floor.
329
00:18:00,455 --> 00:18:03,291
This is the exact UFC Octagon,
that's the UFC canvas.
330
00:18:03,291 --> 00:18:05,335
How good does that feel?
331
00:18:05,335 --> 00:18:08,130
Doesn't it? Ah! It's unbelievable!
332
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:10,215
- [cheers]
- [man laughs]
333
00:18:10,215 --> 00:18:13,009
[Conor] This is the McGregor compound
here in Newport.
334
00:18:13,009 --> 00:18:15,345
Look at it. It's a dungeon,
know what I mean?
335
00:18:15,345 --> 00:18:18,974
It's all state-of-the-art equipment,
but it has that feel of hard work.
336
00:18:18,974 --> 00:18:21,351
I look forward to coming here
and working hard.
337
00:18:21,351 --> 00:18:25,147
Lovely selection of bags. That is
a real nice selection of bags there.
338
00:18:25,147 --> 00:18:28,483
[Audie] He wanted something
that had all the necessary equipment,
339
00:18:28,483 --> 00:18:30,735
from the Octagon to the heavy bags,
340
00:18:30,735 --> 00:18:33,738
{\an8}but he also wanted it to be real,
he didn't want it to be dressed up
341
00:18:33,738 --> 00:18:36,741
to make it look like
it was some palatial space
342
00:18:36,741 --> 00:18:39,619
that he was coming in to lounge.
He was coming in to get working.
343
00:18:39,619 --> 00:18:43,123
{\an8}Blown away by it, to be honest with you.
Everything that we need is here.
344
00:18:43,123 --> 00:18:46,501
{\an8}Plus, he's happy,
and that's the biggest thing.
345
00:18:46,501 --> 00:18:49,087
You can hear him in the background
being happy, yeah? [laughs]
346
00:18:49,087 --> 00:18:50,380
[Conor] It's perfect.
347
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:52,674
It's mad, like an up and down game.
348
00:18:52,674 --> 00:18:56,803
Not just fighting, you know, life,
it's an up and down mental game.
349
00:18:56,803 --> 00:19:01,224
Good to get here, good to see the gym,
good to talk to the doc,
350
00:19:01,224 --> 00:19:04,269
good to feel a plan
is in place for that final stage.
351
00:19:04,269 --> 00:19:08,356
I'm just thinking, I need to get
this recovery time right.
352
00:19:08,356 --> 00:19:10,150
I need to take this and enjoy this.
353
00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:12,652
That's when I switched,
before I came here,
354
00:19:12,652 --> 00:19:15,530
and this is sending me
like a rocket to the moon.
355
00:19:15,530 --> 00:19:17,866
And then the fight's handy.
356
00:19:17,866 --> 00:19:19,993
With the prep, the fight's handy.
357
00:19:19,993 --> 00:19:22,120
So, good day, good day today.
358
00:19:34,466 --> 00:19:36,635
Getting sent pictures of the kids.
359
00:19:36,635 --> 00:19:39,804
- [John] How are they?
- [Conor] They're just after having baths.
360
00:19:39,804 --> 00:19:41,389
[Conor laughs]
361
00:19:41,389 --> 00:19:44,851
{\an8}Conor's at a state
where he's grown into this man,
362
00:19:44,851 --> 00:19:46,353
{\an8}into this father...
363
00:19:46,353 --> 00:19:47,854
That's a good start.
364
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:53,526
But right now, the focus is on the fight.
365
00:19:55,070 --> 00:19:57,656
And if he wants to be at his best,
366
00:19:57,656 --> 00:20:00,575
he feels he needs that singular focus.
367
00:20:00,575 --> 00:20:03,036
So, it was the family's decision
368
00:20:03,036 --> 00:20:05,121
that they stay home in Ireland,
369
00:20:05,121 --> 00:20:07,582
but then meet up right after the fight.
370
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:12,170
And I think that it will allow him
to feel that energy, that vibe
371
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:15,215
that he needs to go in there
and be the best version of himself
372
00:20:15,215 --> 00:20:17,133
come fight night.
373
00:20:20,387 --> 00:20:22,264
[intense music playing]
374
00:20:36,361 --> 00:20:38,196
{\an8}[Owen] It got very real very quickly.
375
00:20:38,196 --> 00:20:40,407
{\an8}There's five weeks to go.
376
00:20:40,407 --> 00:20:44,035
{\an8}We've come with a different approach
to put the pressure on Poirier.
377
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:45,912
He's going with a boxing mentality,
378
00:20:45,912 --> 00:20:48,039
thinking you'll do the same,
some leg kicks--
379
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:50,709
- Then suddenly, whop, wonky.
- Yeah.
380
00:20:51,334 --> 00:20:54,212
[John] What have we changed?
I would say variety.
381
00:20:54,212 --> 00:20:57,882
We're gonna see a much more
expansive range of techniques.
382
00:20:58,425 --> 00:21:02,387
The mixed martial artist is here,
and he's here to win.
383
00:21:09,227 --> 00:21:10,395
[Owen] That one's high.
384
00:21:10,395 --> 00:21:12,689
[John] Keep your leg a little bit
in the kicking range.
385
00:21:12,689 --> 00:21:15,567
Keep your center straight,
move your leg back nice and fast.
386
00:21:15,567 --> 00:21:18,737
Put a jab or stutter-step
your way in, it's all good.
387
00:21:22,282 --> 00:21:25,660
Getting light on the feet.
Finding the left leg.
388
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:27,412
Not damaging it.
389
00:21:27,412 --> 00:21:29,664
All I need is the target.
390
00:21:33,543 --> 00:21:36,338
Got to get your body strong
to be in this game,
391
00:21:36,338 --> 00:21:38,798
for this long, at this level.
392
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:41,134
So rehabilitation work,
393
00:21:41,134 --> 00:21:43,261
you've gotta become a master at it.
394
00:21:43,261 --> 00:21:45,513
Otherwise,
395
00:21:45,513 --> 00:21:47,766
you'll be here today, gone tomorrow.
396
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:51,770
[man] This one's one of my favorites.
397
00:21:52,479 --> 00:21:53,855
Thank you. Thanks so much.
398
00:21:53,855 --> 00:21:56,733
Got your whiskey back at the house.
I'm gonna drink it tonight.
399
00:21:56,733 --> 00:21:58,985
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
400
00:22:01,196 --> 00:22:02,989
I'm not gonna rush now, cracking him.
401
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:05,825
I'm gonna crack him, get in,
put it in his face!
402
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:07,994
I know he's gonna do that.
403
00:22:07,994 --> 00:22:10,705
Elbow off that, exactly. Bam, bam!
404
00:22:10,705 --> 00:22:12,957
Go straight off. You have the technique.
405
00:22:12,957 --> 00:22:15,418
{\an8}One notable thing, the first time,
406
00:22:15,418 --> 00:22:17,545
{\an8}Dee's not here and the kids.
407
00:22:17,545 --> 00:22:20,507
The fact she's not here, I think,
does him a favor.
408
00:22:21,007 --> 00:22:25,011
{\an8}Definitely more testosterone in the air.
409
00:22:25,011 --> 00:22:28,014
There's definitely more aggression,
410
00:22:28,014 --> 00:22:29,724
but that increased aggression
411
00:22:29,724 --> 00:22:32,477
is a very good thing
for the fight environment.
412
00:22:32,477 --> 00:22:35,355
Beautiful knockout.
There's going to be a devastating victory.
413
00:22:35,355 --> 00:22:36,898
An ass whooping.
414
00:22:36,898 --> 00:22:39,692
{\an8}Feeling that longing for his family,
415
00:22:39,692 --> 00:22:42,612
{\an8}that crushes him, but it also fuels him.
416
00:22:42,612 --> 00:22:45,740
It's like you take something away
that someone loves
417
00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:48,535
and it builds this energy
that you wanna have
418
00:22:48,535 --> 00:22:50,245
heading into a combat sport.
419
00:22:50,245 --> 00:22:52,372
He's not coming back from this.
420
00:22:52,372 --> 00:22:53,873
This is gonna be a bad one.
421
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:55,792
Mark me words on that.
422
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:57,877
[music crescendos]
423
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,384
[Colin] You can see the change
in Conor's personality.
424
00:23:04,384 --> 00:23:08,721
He's starting to look more like
that creative, precise killer.
425
00:23:11,099 --> 00:23:12,350
We're ready.
426
00:23:13,434 --> 00:23:15,603
It's just time to go and get it done now.
427
00:23:21,192 --> 00:23:23,361
- [Conor] The one I hit here.
- [man 1] Yeah.
428
00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:27,657
I do mix it up sometimes.
I got hit in the knee a few times.
429
00:23:27,657 --> 00:23:30,034
- With that one as well.
- Yeah.
430
00:23:30,034 --> 00:23:32,120
Leg kick.
431
00:23:33,705 --> 00:23:35,623
[Conor] So I've been training
with no shin pads
432
00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:38,877
because the shin pads let me down
the last time in camp because
433
00:23:38,877 --> 00:23:42,213
it felt like I was in a safe place,
taking the kicks in a certain area,
434
00:23:42,213 --> 00:23:44,924
and when you remove the shin pads,
it was way different.
435
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:47,969
They had a major effect.
I wanna feel the exact feeling
436
00:23:47,969 --> 00:23:49,554
in the leg kicks.
437
00:23:50,138 --> 00:23:51,931
Keep them kicks busy, man. Really.
438
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:54,350
I wanna pump every fucking time...
kick me.
439
00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:57,729
- You know? That's on the fourth round.
- [man 2] Yeah.
440
00:23:59,105 --> 00:24:03,067
{\an8}[Julian] The nature of the sport
is high impact, high trauma sport.
441
00:24:03,067 --> 00:24:05,778
And after the previous fights,
442
00:24:05,778 --> 00:24:09,282
Conor wanted to spar
without the shin pads.
443
00:24:09,282 --> 00:24:11,659
It's just to see how he would get on.
444
00:24:13,578 --> 00:24:16,956
We're very keen on early rehabilitation.
445
00:24:17,832 --> 00:24:19,375
[man 3] So, have you had the stim before?
446
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:22,045
- [Conor] I have had a stim before.
- [man 3] Perfect.
447
00:24:22,045 --> 00:24:25,757
So, this one's gonna start feeling
like little electrical shocks,
448
00:24:25,757 --> 00:24:28,426
little pulses.
It shouldn't feel painful at all.
449
00:24:28,426 --> 00:24:31,387
At any point,
you can just let me know as I start it up,
450
00:24:31,387 --> 00:24:33,431
if it starts feeling good,
starts feeling too much.
451
00:24:33,431 --> 00:24:35,225
So I'm just gonna leave it there.
452
00:24:35,225 --> 00:24:37,769
Should feel pretty mild as it starts up,
453
00:24:37,769 --> 00:24:39,896
it's going
for about eight minutes... [voice fades]
454
00:24:43,691 --> 00:24:45,693
[man 4]
He's not the same Conor McGregor.
455
00:24:45,693 --> 00:24:48,112
Will we ever see Conor
from Conor vs Dustin 1?
456
00:24:48,112 --> 00:24:49,656
Does that guy even remain?
457
00:24:49,656 --> 00:24:51,241
[man 5] Nobody likes the respectful Conor.
458
00:24:51,241 --> 00:24:53,701
[man 6] The subdued McGregor
wasn't as fiery coming to the fight.
459
00:24:53,701 --> 00:24:56,079
[man 7] Conor's killer instinct was
half the battle for him.
460
00:24:56,079 --> 00:24:57,580
Is Conor there mentally?
461
00:24:57,580 --> 00:24:59,707
[man 8] On Fight Island,
it was an even playing field.
462
00:24:59,707 --> 00:25:03,336
Conor made an even playing field,
he'd grown up and matured.
463
00:25:03,336 --> 00:25:05,505
He's become a pussycat
inside the Octagon.
464
00:25:05,505 --> 00:25:09,509
This time around,
I want the full mink coat out again,
465
00:25:09,509 --> 00:25:12,762
because I believe he needs
to do that to become notorious.
466
00:25:12,762 --> 00:25:15,932
[man 9] Now we find out
Conor doesn't have his family with him.
467
00:25:15,932 --> 00:25:18,851
He's gonna be calm,
and he's gonna calmly say,
468
00:25:18,851 --> 00:25:20,728
"I'm gonna put you in the fucking ground."
469
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,609
[man] Excellent. Hands down, fists tight.
470
00:25:26,609 --> 00:25:28,861
[Stephen] Conor, I gotta
ask you this question.
471
00:25:28,861 --> 00:25:32,448
Considering all that you've accomplished
in life and career,
472
00:25:32,448 --> 00:25:33,700
why are you here?
473
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,952
[Conor] Every time I sit in an interview,
474
00:25:35,952 --> 00:25:38,204
it's, "Oh, why are you here?
You've too much money.
475
00:25:38,204 --> 00:25:40,081
You're too successful,
you've done it all."
476
00:25:40,081 --> 00:25:42,292
Blah, blah, blah.
There's a lot more left in me,
477
00:25:42,292 --> 00:25:44,544
I'm still very young,
I'm very fresh in the game,
478
00:25:44,544 --> 00:25:47,630
And I'm a dangerous man, Stephen.
I'm the most dangerous of them all.
479
00:25:47,630 --> 00:25:49,757
[Stephen] Obviously, he's made
a ton of money,
480
00:25:49,757 --> 00:25:52,218
maybe the hunger isn't there as much.
What do you think of that?
481
00:25:52,218 --> 00:25:53,803
That makes him more dangerous to me.
482
00:25:53,803 --> 00:25:55,888
He's doing it 'cause he wants to,
not 'cause he has to.
483
00:25:55,888 --> 00:26:00,226
Let's rewind the clock to the sequel.
You were incredibly nice.
484
00:26:00,226 --> 00:26:03,313
[bleep] that this time.
That's the mindset here.
485
00:26:03,313 --> 00:26:05,898
[Stephen] Obviously, the last one,
you knocked him out cold.
486
00:26:05,898 --> 00:26:07,567
Will that make him hungrier?
487
00:26:07,567 --> 00:26:09,652
He wants that back,
that's what makes him so dangerous.
488
00:26:09,652 --> 00:26:12,864
[Conor] I break people's faces
for money and bounce.
489
00:26:12,864 --> 00:26:15,992
That's what I do.
Saturday night, I'm gonna do it again.
490
00:26:15,992 --> 00:26:17,869
Excuse me, sir,
that just happened to you.
491
00:26:17,869 --> 00:26:20,288
Yeah, well, here we go again. I'm back.
492
00:26:20,288 --> 00:26:24,417
[Stephen] What's the difference between
Conor McGregor that won in 2014
493
00:26:24,417 --> 00:26:26,544
and Conor McGregor that lost in 2021?
494
00:26:26,544 --> 00:26:29,714
[Conor] Sure, I lost.
It happened. I'm not a loser.
495
00:26:29,714 --> 00:26:31,674
Sometimes, a defeat is what you need,
496
00:26:31,674 --> 00:26:33,426
a defeat is the secret ingredient
to success.
497
00:26:33,426 --> 00:26:36,095
[Stephen] When this fight is over,
what will we walk away
498
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:37,972
saying about Conor McGregor?
499
00:26:37,972 --> 00:26:40,600
The greatest of all time,
what a dangerous man.
500
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,518
Shouldn't have doubted him.
501
00:26:42,518 --> 00:26:45,438
I'm gonna be doing it
for a long, long time yet.
502
00:26:45,438 --> 00:26:49,233
[Stephen] When you say a long, long time,
you're 32, how long are we talking?
503
00:26:49,233 --> 00:26:53,154
Three hundred and thirty-two.
I'm doing this until the day I go out.
504
00:26:53,154 --> 00:26:54,739
[crowd cheers]
505
00:26:54,739 --> 00:26:58,993
This game is mine.
This city, Las Vegas, is mine.
506
00:26:58,993 --> 00:27:02,288
This world is mine.
Saturday night, I'm gonna show that.
507
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,751
[Dustin] I'm sure he's going out there
with something to prove.
508
00:27:07,877 --> 00:27:09,712
Come and get it.
509
00:27:09,712 --> 00:27:13,383
[Conor] I'm coming in
with vicious intent here.
510
00:27:13,383 --> 00:27:17,220
Murder shots. KO, out on a stretcher.
511
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,806
Know what I mean?
I'm coming in to kill this man.
512
00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:22,975
[crowd cheering]
513
00:27:24,644 --> 00:27:28,022
[man] Dustin, you said
Conor had kinda lost his aura,
514
00:27:28,022 --> 00:27:30,733
but I wonder, this is
an entirely different environment, right?
515
00:27:30,733 --> 00:27:33,361
We're talking sold out,
bunch of Irish flags everywhere.
516
00:27:33,361 --> 00:27:36,280
Has the challenge changed for you
because of this?
517
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,533
Not anymore, I...
518
00:27:38,533 --> 00:27:40,618
[crowd jeers]
519
00:27:40,618 --> 00:27:44,038
You know, you guys in the crowd,
cheer it up, have fun.
520
00:27:44,038 --> 00:27:45,915
But I see a man
in front of me that I defeated
521
00:27:45,915 --> 00:27:47,625
and I know I can defeat again.
522
00:27:47,625 --> 00:27:51,879
You're getting walked like a dog
in that Octagon on Saturday night.
523
00:27:51,879 --> 00:27:54,632
[crowd roars]
524
00:27:54,632 --> 00:27:57,969
[man] It's getting kinda ugly again.
Is this personal for you, at this point?
525
00:27:57,969 --> 00:28:00,596
Nah. It's straight business, man.
This is--
526
00:28:00,596 --> 00:28:02,473
You're only a little bitch.
527
00:28:02,473 --> 00:28:05,351
[crowd cheers]
528
00:28:05,351 --> 00:28:08,062
Your wife is your husband!
529
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:13,901
You're a little bitch of a thing,
a silly little hillbilly.
530
00:28:14,694 --> 00:28:18,448
You used to be a lot better than that.
The trash talk was better than that.
531
00:28:18,448 --> 00:28:21,159
Yeah. Shut your mouth.
I'm gonna dance on your head.
532
00:28:21,159 --> 00:28:23,744
He's done here. This is it for him.
533
00:28:23,744 --> 00:28:25,413
This is the end of the road.
534
00:28:25,413 --> 00:28:26,539
So, it's on now.
535
00:28:26,539 --> 00:28:29,292
Saturday night, he's getting walked
around that Octagon like a dog
536
00:28:29,292 --> 00:28:30,793
and put to sleep.
537
00:28:32,462 --> 00:28:36,007
Conor, in the build up to the last fight,
you were unusually kind to Dustin.
538
00:28:36,007 --> 00:28:37,925
Now, on fight week,
it's the exact opposite.
539
00:28:37,925 --> 00:28:39,302
Where did the switch happen?
540
00:28:39,302 --> 00:28:41,220
[Dustin] Because he got knocked
the fuck out.
541
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:42,972
[crowd roars]
542
00:28:42,972 --> 00:28:46,934
Conor, win or lose,
do you respect Dustin Poirier
543
00:28:46,934 --> 00:28:49,270
no matter what happens on Saturday night?
544
00:28:49,270 --> 00:28:51,564
I don't give a fuck about him,
to be honest.
545
00:28:51,564 --> 00:28:53,483
I don't give a rat's ass about him.
546
00:28:53,483 --> 00:28:57,695
It was a fluke win and I'm going
to correct it on Saturday night.
547
00:28:57,695 --> 00:28:59,655
[crowd cheers]
548
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:02,033
Thank you. We'll see you
at the weigh-ins tomorrow.
549
00:29:02,033 --> 00:29:05,119
- [crowd cheering]
- [tense music playing]
550
00:29:29,727 --> 00:29:34,023
[Dana] We got the serious, hardcore,
ready-to-win Conor McGregor back,
551
00:29:34,023 --> 00:29:37,485
with the mind games that are played
leading up to the fight.
552
00:29:37,485 --> 00:29:40,196
He's the absolute best in the world at it.
553
00:29:40,196 --> 00:29:42,782
If he wins,
he's in line for a title shot,
554
00:29:42,782 --> 00:29:44,784
he could be the world champion again.
555
00:29:44,784 --> 00:29:47,245
[man 1] They were buddy-buddy last time.
556
00:29:47,245 --> 00:29:48,913
The noise disappeared.
557
00:29:48,913 --> 00:29:50,832
But that didn't work for him.
558
00:29:50,832 --> 00:29:52,375
Anger with a purpose,
559
00:29:52,375 --> 00:29:54,544
something to overcome.
560
00:29:54,544 --> 00:29:56,671
That's his lift.
561
00:29:56,671 --> 00:30:00,383
[man 2] He's the villain,
and it's glad to see villain Conor back.
562
00:30:01,676 --> 00:30:03,302
[Julian] Four pounds to go.
563
00:30:03,302 --> 00:30:05,054
[man 3] If you go back to UFC 205,
564
00:30:05,054 --> 00:30:07,765
he was a double champion,
he had all the potential in the world.
565
00:30:07,765 --> 00:30:09,851
What is this guy going to accomplish?
566
00:30:09,851 --> 00:30:11,894
Is he going to get back to that guy?
567
00:30:11,894 --> 00:30:14,856
Is he going to realize
the potential that we saw at UFC 205?
568
00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:18,985
- [Conor] One fifty-six on the dot.
- [Julian] Perfect.
569
00:30:19,569 --> 00:30:22,113
[man 4] Why is he back? For one reason.
570
00:30:22,113 --> 00:30:23,739
He's back for legacy,
571
00:30:23,739 --> 00:30:26,367
he's back to prove that
he's one of the greatest of all time.
572
00:30:26,367 --> 00:30:27,869
[man 5] If Dustin wins?
573
00:30:27,869 --> 00:30:31,372
For Conor McGregor,
is that him done in the UFC?
574
00:30:31,372 --> 00:30:33,124
[man 4] Conor's got nowhere else to go.
575
00:30:33,124 --> 00:30:36,002
If he doesn't beat Dustin,
if he doesn't win this fight,
576
00:30:36,002 --> 00:30:38,921
where does he go from there,
with all due respect?
577
00:30:38,921 --> 00:30:42,300
[Stephen] You gotta find a way to get back
to whatever it was that you had
578
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:44,302
when you were winning all of those fights.
579
00:30:48,055 --> 00:30:49,891
[crowd cheers]
580
00:30:49,891 --> 00:30:53,603
[interviewer] When people ask you about
pressure you face in your life and career,
581
00:30:53,603 --> 00:30:56,689
you always say you enjoy that pressure.
What pressure?
582
00:30:56,689 --> 00:30:59,859
[Conor] Maybe previous,
when all the stuff was going on,
583
00:30:59,859 --> 00:31:03,279
all the world tours I went on,
amount of media obligations,
584
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:07,742
the amount of times I felt like
I was a monkey in the zoo,
585
00:31:07,742 --> 00:31:12,079
locked in a cage, and they feed me
a banana and tell me to dance.
586
00:31:15,917 --> 00:31:18,461
Now what I'm doing this for
is finally here.
587
00:31:18,461 --> 00:31:20,171
I'm not doing this for this.
588
00:31:20,171 --> 00:31:22,423
I'm not doing this for fake acting,
589
00:31:22,423 --> 00:31:26,719
trying to give emotion to some guy
that wants emotion from me for a shot.
590
00:31:26,719 --> 00:31:28,888
I can't do that. I don't do this for that.
591
00:31:30,514 --> 00:31:32,767
I do it for the competition.
592
00:31:33,976 --> 00:31:35,603
To step foot inside that Octagon.
593
00:31:40,024 --> 00:31:42,318
Someone asked me what it's like
when I make that walk,
594
00:31:42,318 --> 00:31:44,278
when you walk into that arena.
595
00:31:44,278 --> 00:31:46,489
When I walk out to that arena,
596
00:31:46,489 --> 00:31:49,825
I honestly feel
like I'm unshackling chains off me.
597
00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:53,037
I feel like I'm chained,
I'm carrying a cross or something.
598
00:31:53,037 --> 00:31:56,540
Then when I get to that Octagon,
I'm peeling it all off.
599
00:31:56,540 --> 00:31:58,793
When I finally step foot in that Octagon,
600
00:31:58,793 --> 00:32:01,170
place my bare feet
on special UFC canvas,
601
00:32:01,170 --> 00:32:03,297
I feel free.
602
00:32:06,175 --> 00:32:08,427
That is why I say
I don't feel pressure in there.
603
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:10,930
I do not. I feel free in there.
604
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,976
[intense instrumental music playing]
605
00:32:14,976 --> 00:32:18,562
You're giving everything you've got.
You're in there to die,
606
00:32:18,562 --> 00:32:21,399
you're prepared to die in there.
I am prepared to die in there.
607
00:32:21,399 --> 00:32:23,526
And I'm also prepared to kill in there.
608
00:32:23,526 --> 00:32:26,070
[music stops]
609
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,163
[aria plays]
610
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,473
{\an8}I remind him every day,
you don't have to do this ever again.
611
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:57,184
{\an8}You don't have anything to prove
ever again.
612
00:32:58,811 --> 00:33:02,857
{\an8}"I have something to prove to myself,"
is the answer that I get from him.
613
00:33:02,857 --> 00:33:05,609
[crowd cheers]
614
00:33:09,697 --> 00:33:13,367
{\an8}[Julian] He has an incredible vision
of what he can achieve.
615
00:33:13,367 --> 00:33:17,663
{\an8}It's his belief in himself
and his lack of limitations
616
00:33:17,663 --> 00:33:20,249
{\an8}that allows him to do these things.
617
00:33:22,752 --> 00:33:25,880
There's a saying, "reasonable men
never achieved anything,"
618
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,258
and Conor's a very unreasonable man.
619
00:33:36,682 --> 00:33:40,436
{\an8}[Owen] Most people don't have
the guts to put it all on the line.
620
00:33:40,436 --> 00:33:44,774
{\an8}To say what they're going to do
and be brash and confident about it.
621
00:33:45,357 --> 00:33:49,195
These are unique characters
that come every once in a lifetime.
622
00:33:49,904 --> 00:33:53,657
And if you're lucky enough
to be living in that era,
623
00:33:53,657 --> 00:33:58,037
you're gonna get the opportunity
to experience something.
624
00:33:58,037 --> 00:34:01,874
We call them the unicorns.
He is one of them.
625
00:34:01,874 --> 00:34:03,584
There will be more.
626
00:34:03,584 --> 00:34:05,503
Will there be another
that does like it Conor?
627
00:34:05,503 --> 00:34:07,171
I don't think so.
628
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:11,092
[loud cheering]
629
00:34:11,092 --> 00:34:14,678
[man] We've been over the rules.
We're gonna have a clean fight.
630
00:34:14,678 --> 00:34:16,514
Touch gloves if you wish at this time.
631
00:34:16,514 --> 00:34:18,182
Let's do it.
632
00:34:27,525 --> 00:34:31,195
[Joe] McGregor, two turning sidekicks
to the body in a row.
633
00:34:32,404 --> 00:34:33,823
- Beautiful!
- Oh!
634
00:34:37,785 --> 00:34:40,121
[Daniel] Oh, he stunned him
with that left hand.
635
00:34:40,121 --> 00:34:42,748
[Jon] He's gotten out ahead of Dustin
a little bit.
636
00:34:48,254 --> 00:34:50,172
- [crowd cheers]
- [commentators exclaim]
637
00:34:59,014 --> 00:35:01,600
[Daniel] Poirier landed
a nasty left hand there.
638
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,602
[Jon] Furious start.
639
00:35:03,602 --> 00:35:05,104
[Daniel] Oh!
640
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:08,607
Oh! Oh, he's got a guillotine here.
641
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:18,868
[Jon] He's only got one arm now.
642
00:35:18,868 --> 00:35:21,078
- He's getting up.
- [Daniel] Poirier's fine.
643
00:35:23,372 --> 00:35:25,749
[Jon] Big elbow by Dustin.
644
00:35:28,419 --> 00:35:31,172
- Solid elbows.
- [Daniel] Big elbows by Conor.
645
00:35:31,172 --> 00:35:32,840
Make space for the shins! Yes!
646
00:35:34,216 --> 00:35:37,553
[Jon] Now Poirier throwing
massive elbows of his own.
647
00:35:37,553 --> 00:35:39,722
[Daniel] My goodness, this pace is crazy.
648
00:35:40,306 --> 00:35:43,184
- [Jon] Oh!
- [Joe] Dustin's dropping bombs!
649
00:35:43,184 --> 00:35:45,186
Keep that foot under him!
650
00:35:50,566 --> 00:35:53,527
[Jon] That's a big right-hand shot
from Poirier!
651
00:35:58,657 --> 00:36:00,951
Oh, big up-kick!
652
00:36:00,951 --> 00:36:03,078
- That was a big up-kick!
- [Daniel] That one landed!
653
00:36:03,078 --> 00:36:04,955
But Dustin's right back on top of him.
654
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:07,333
- [Jon] Oh!
- [Joe] Oh!
655
00:36:07,333 --> 00:36:09,168
[Jon] Dustin's dropping bombs!
656
00:36:17,092 --> 00:36:19,470
- [Daniel] Now McGregor back to his feet.
- Yes!
657
00:36:29,939 --> 00:36:31,607
{\an8}[cracking sound]
658
00:36:32,775 --> 00:36:35,569
Oh!
659
00:36:39,865 --> 00:36:42,826
[John] When you hear
the ten-second warning,
660
00:36:42,826 --> 00:36:45,079
{\an8}you start making your way to the cage.
661
00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:49,208
{\an8}Already, in my head, I kinda had
my 30-second speech ready.
662
00:36:50,417 --> 00:36:53,254
And then it kinda happened
in that time period.
663
00:36:54,046 --> 00:36:55,506
Why's he still sitting down?
664
00:36:55,506 --> 00:36:57,925
I make my way towards him, he looks up...
665
00:36:57,925 --> 00:37:02,721
foot's broken... And then we see this
misshapen ankle and it's like, "Oh, no."
666
00:37:02,721 --> 00:37:05,766
- [Jon] He broke his ankle!
- [Joe] His leg's broken!
667
00:37:05,766 --> 00:37:07,226
Oh, no!
668
00:37:08,269 --> 00:37:11,230
[Owen] You could just see it,
he was so devastated.
669
00:37:21,323 --> 00:37:24,994
And that devastation
turned just into anger.
670
00:37:24,994 --> 00:37:26,787
- He was so annoyed.
- [screams in frustration]
671
00:37:26,787 --> 00:37:28,789
[Jon] Well, I'm rendered speechless.
672
00:37:28,789 --> 00:37:30,582
Not the stoppage!
673
00:37:30,582 --> 00:37:32,418
You tell him not the stoppage!
674
00:37:33,002 --> 00:37:36,088
[Bruce] Declaring the winner, by TKO,
675
00:37:36,088 --> 00:37:39,216
Dustin "The Diamond"
676
00:37:39,216 --> 00:37:43,095
Poirier!
677
00:37:44,722 --> 00:37:47,891
[Owen] Nobody wants to be standing
beside your friend,
678
00:37:47,891 --> 00:37:50,102
his leg is broken,
679
00:37:50,102 --> 00:37:54,106
and everything he's trained for
gets taken away from him.
680
00:37:54,106 --> 00:37:55,983
That's definitely a hard one to take.
681
00:38:03,574 --> 00:38:05,159
[Audie] It was surreal.
682
00:38:06,368 --> 00:38:08,871
I was like, is this happening right now?
683
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,374
I was like, that can't be real.
684
00:38:17,588 --> 00:38:19,965
[indistinct chattering]
685
00:38:22,885 --> 00:38:24,511
[woman] This way, right here.
686
00:38:32,936 --> 00:38:35,397
Well, that was...
687
00:38:35,397 --> 00:38:39,693
one of the most unfortunate accidents
that ended a fight.
688
00:38:40,527 --> 00:38:42,988
It's like... What can you say?
689
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:44,281
[car door closes]
690
00:38:44,281 --> 00:38:45,741
[Conor sighs]
691
00:38:48,452 --> 00:38:51,330
- [man] UMC? You're going to...?
- [cell phone dings]
692
00:38:51,330 --> 00:38:54,333
{\an8}Hospital. It was not...
It was not a sprained ankle.
693
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:58,253
{\an8}It's not like he had a recurring,
unstable ankle.
694
00:38:58,253 --> 00:39:00,172
{\an8}That's not what he was wrapping it for.
695
00:39:00,172 --> 00:39:03,092
He was wrapping it
so that it dispersed it.
696
00:39:05,177 --> 00:39:07,262
We probably need...
697
00:39:07,721 --> 00:39:08,680
Immediately.
698
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,557
- See how much swelling there is.
- [man] Yeah.
699
00:39:16,397 --> 00:39:20,442
Dustin Poirier defeats Conor McGregor
700
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,737
via TKO doctor stoppage.
701
00:39:23,737 --> 00:39:25,197
First round, doctor stoppage...
702
00:39:25,197 --> 00:39:28,367
I think Conor put up
almost a rabid-level fight.
703
00:39:28,367 --> 00:39:31,161
Conor McGregor had a phenomenal game plan.
704
00:39:31,161 --> 00:39:33,038
Chewing up the legs of Dustin Poirier...
705
00:39:33,038 --> 00:39:36,166
Dustin Poirier was winning
that fight, easily.
706
00:39:36,166 --> 00:39:37,584
He was beating him, okay?
707
00:39:37,584 --> 00:39:39,878
On the ground, Conor was bleeding.
708
00:39:39,878 --> 00:39:42,673
There's a lot of questions about what
would happen if Conor didn't get hurt.
709
00:39:42,673 --> 00:39:45,426
Conor could've had
a very strong second round.
710
00:39:45,426 --> 00:39:47,636
He won a fight against Conor McGregor
711
00:39:47,636 --> 00:39:50,139
by McGregor stepping funny on his leg
712
00:39:50,139 --> 00:39:51,515
and it snapping in half.
713
00:39:51,515 --> 00:39:55,352
It snapped. I'm talking about
tibia and fibula, snapped.
714
00:39:55,352 --> 00:39:57,688
Oh, man, it looked like, just...
715
00:39:57,688 --> 00:40:00,315
This one of them freak accidents...
716
00:40:00,315 --> 00:40:02,568
- Conor's facing a long rehab.
- Yes.
717
00:40:02,568 --> 00:40:05,529
- Is Conor McGregor done?
- I think yes.
718
00:40:05,529 --> 00:40:08,157
We'll probably never see
Conor fight in the cage again.
719
00:40:17,374 --> 00:40:20,461
[Dr. Neal] Okay, so,
that's the side view of your ankle.
720
00:40:24,214 --> 00:40:26,049
- Fibula.
- [Julian] In half.
721
00:40:26,049 --> 00:40:27,634
[Conor] So, tibia and fibula?
722
00:40:27,634 --> 00:40:30,012
[Dr. Neal] The tibia was in four pieces,
723
00:40:30,012 --> 00:40:32,431
fibula cracked like that.
724
00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:37,144
You wanna see the thing that I love?
725
00:40:37,686 --> 00:40:41,440
- [Conor] The job?
- Oh. Look at how perfect that is.
726
00:40:42,232 --> 00:40:45,194
All that smashed stuff is now...
727
00:40:45,194 --> 00:40:47,070
looks like a normal joint.
728
00:40:48,197 --> 00:40:50,199
[Conor] It's only gonna get better,
isn't that right?
729
00:40:50,199 --> 00:40:53,368
- [Dr. Neal] It's gonna get better.
- [Conor] This is the worst of everything.
730
00:40:53,368 --> 00:40:56,997
I'm on all the pain medication.
I'm moving into a new thing.
731
00:40:56,997 --> 00:41:00,459
This is gonna be a little bit
of a rocky road early on,
732
00:41:00,459 --> 00:41:02,669
and then once you get going again,
733
00:41:02,669 --> 00:41:06,840
Conor, then all of a sudden,
you'll feel more like yourself again.
734
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,343
- But, um...
- When do you think I'll be
735
00:41:09,343 --> 00:41:11,637
ready to go again?
736
00:41:11,637 --> 00:41:15,098
I think that...
you're gonna be able to start training,
737
00:41:15,098 --> 00:41:18,101
not kicking, but training,
probably six months.
738
00:41:18,101 --> 00:41:22,105
I won't be able to train until six months,
though I'll be off a crutch at six weeks?
739
00:41:22,105 --> 00:41:25,484
You'll be exercising, rehabbing.
Training like you train,
740
00:41:25,484 --> 00:41:29,071
simulating kicking and punching the bag,
741
00:41:29,071 --> 00:41:32,574
and things like that,
I would bet it's gonna be about six.
742
00:41:32,574 --> 00:41:35,953
Okay, that's for an intense training
regimen. What about...
743
00:41:35,953 --> 00:41:37,829
other training, when do you think?
744
00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:41,458
I know you've been enjoying
the biking and things like that
745
00:41:41,458 --> 00:41:44,127
you were doing in Orange County,
you'll be doing that
746
00:41:44,127 --> 00:41:47,297
probably just, maybe, two months,
eight weeks from now.
747
00:41:47,297 --> 00:41:49,925
[Conor] I'd be able to that?
That would be amazing
748
00:41:49,925 --> 00:41:52,302
because I can get real work done there
749
00:41:52,302 --> 00:41:55,055
and I can also build
the strength back up in my leg.
750
00:41:55,055 --> 00:41:58,016
So that will definitely tide me over.
751
00:41:58,016 --> 00:41:59,393
Yeah.
752
00:41:59,393 --> 00:42:02,396
When d'you think
I'll be able to fight? A year?
753
00:42:02,396 --> 00:42:05,482
Yeah, I think...
I think ten months to a year.
754
00:42:06,608 --> 00:42:10,445
Let's face it, when you get in there,
you're gonna wanna be...
755
00:42:10,445 --> 00:42:14,074
You don't wanna be compromised,
you don't wanna be restricted,
756
00:42:14,074 --> 00:42:16,535
you wanna be full go, everything goes.
757
00:42:16,535 --> 00:42:18,912
- And I think it's gonna take that long.
- Mm.
758
00:42:18,912 --> 00:42:22,291
I appreciate you, doc, man.
I really, really do.
759
00:42:24,293 --> 00:42:26,878
See you soon.
Have a good night. Nice to see you.
760
00:42:26,878 --> 00:42:29,006
- See you later. Good to see you.
- Nice to see you again.
761
00:42:29,006 --> 00:42:30,674
[emotional music]
762
00:42:45,606 --> 00:42:47,232
[Julian] How are you doing today?
763
00:42:47,232 --> 00:42:48,650
A little bit sore, so...
764
00:42:48,650 --> 00:42:51,236
It's alright...
but it's been...
765
00:42:51,236 --> 00:42:53,614
Fells like it's getting grayer in here.
766
00:42:53,614 --> 00:42:55,866
[Julian] Lights are off.
Want me to turn them on?
767
00:42:55,866 --> 00:42:57,576
No, not with the light.
768
00:43:00,203 --> 00:43:03,332
It's, like, up and down.
You know what I mean?
769
00:43:03,332 --> 00:43:05,167
I find myself up, buzzy, over it.
770
00:43:05,167 --> 00:43:08,670
And then I find myself
in a bad way over it.
771
00:43:08,670 --> 00:43:10,589
So, it's just about
772
00:43:10,589 --> 00:43:13,508
managing the way of...
773
00:43:14,301 --> 00:43:16,053
how good.
774
00:43:16,595 --> 00:43:19,014
Comes with the fuckin' territory,
doesn't it?
775
00:43:19,765 --> 00:43:22,017
Couple of weeks, I'll be all right.
776
00:43:22,017 --> 00:43:24,978
[emotional music]
777
00:43:40,369 --> 00:43:42,746
[man 1] It's time to accept reality
for McGregor fans,
778
00:43:42,746 --> 00:43:44,873
and most importantly
for McGregor himself.
779
00:43:44,873 --> 00:43:47,334
[woman] Is Conor McGregor done?
780
00:43:47,334 --> 00:43:49,544
[man 2] When you look at the career
781
00:43:49,544 --> 00:43:53,090
of Conor McGregor,
it's going to be before Floyd
782
00:43:53,090 --> 00:43:54,758
and after Floyd.
783
00:43:54,758 --> 00:43:57,344
[man 3] A man who's aged, who's simply...
784
00:43:57,344 --> 00:44:00,222
[man 4] Conor was on fucking welfare,
785
00:44:00,222 --> 00:44:03,100
and look at him how many years later?
786
00:44:03,100 --> 00:44:06,728
What is it, six or seven years?
Little more, seven or eight years.
787
00:44:06,728 --> 00:44:09,690
Multiple weight class titles,
he became a worldwide celebrity.
788
00:44:09,690 --> 00:44:12,442
[man 5] At some point in time,
you're like, "You know what?
789
00:44:12,442 --> 00:44:15,904
My heart is not in it to do this anymore."
790
00:44:15,904 --> 00:44:20,242
[man 6] I've questioned every single day
why this fucking guy is still fighting.
791
00:44:20,242 --> 00:44:22,369
Why're you fighting? What's the point?
792
00:44:22,369 --> 00:44:24,579
Just ride off into the sunset, my friend.
793
00:44:28,208 --> 00:44:30,168
It was a tough area, where I grew up.
794
00:44:30,168 --> 00:44:31,920
You just had to be able to
defend yourself,
795
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,133
not that I couldn't fight,
but I would more be afraid of situations.
796
00:44:36,133 --> 00:44:39,970
If something happened, I was like...
I realized I was getting these nerves,
797
00:44:39,970 --> 00:44:42,347
and I was like,
they're a weird emotion I just had.
798
00:44:49,604 --> 00:44:52,107
Ultimately, that was what
drove me to combat sport.
799
00:44:52,107 --> 00:44:55,735
To be able to be comfortable
in an uncomfortable situation.
800
00:45:01,408 --> 00:45:04,536
I suppose all of these things combined,
doing these things as a kid,
801
00:45:04,536 --> 00:45:08,206
feeling these emotions, have just led me
to get to that better stage.
802
00:45:08,206 --> 00:45:10,792
But again, there is no limit to this.
803
00:45:10,792 --> 00:45:13,712
I'm gonna keep on going...
I don't know when I can stop.
804
00:45:13,712 --> 00:45:14,921
[clicks]
805
00:45:22,345 --> 00:45:24,639
[exhales, clears throat]
806
00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:28,018
[Conor] You know,
it's a high-pressure situation,
807
00:45:28,018 --> 00:45:30,770
this life, I suppose.
808
00:45:30,770 --> 00:45:34,858
It's just about coming in, enjoying it,
getting your work in, being committed.
809
00:45:35,817 --> 00:45:38,570
You know, I thrive under these conditions,
810
00:45:38,570 --> 00:45:40,489
in all aspects of my life.
811
00:45:41,364 --> 00:45:45,076
It builds character.
It makes me stronger.
812
00:45:45,076 --> 00:45:47,037
There's no question about it.
813
00:45:47,037 --> 00:45:50,040
All that I've faced in me life
has made me who I am.
814
00:45:51,958 --> 00:45:55,629
There may be a time
where I actually cannot fucking do this.
815
00:45:55,629 --> 00:45:58,298
You know, if that day comes,
816
00:45:58,298 --> 00:46:01,510
I don't really feel it will come.
I'll find a way.
817
00:46:04,346 --> 00:46:07,516
[Dr. Neal] It is still gonna be
non-weight bearing for about six weeks.
818
00:46:08,308 --> 00:46:11,102
The question is, do you get
the regular pedicures?
819
00:46:11,102 --> 00:46:13,813
[chuckles] No, I haven't.
I've been thinking about it.
820
00:46:13,813 --> 00:46:16,358
- Definitely have to change that.
- [Conor chuckles]
821
00:46:16,358 --> 00:46:19,361
{\an8}At the end of the day,
he's a mortal man.
822
00:46:19,361 --> 00:46:21,821
He definitely can't do this forever.
823
00:46:21,821 --> 00:46:24,574
But he still wants to compete.
824
00:46:25,992 --> 00:46:29,037
It's not about the fame,
it's not about the fortune,
825
00:46:29,037 --> 00:46:31,831
it is because he has that drive
826
00:46:31,831 --> 00:46:35,335
to continue to prove himself.
827
00:46:35,335 --> 00:46:38,797
That's how he took the world by storm.
828
00:46:38,797 --> 00:46:41,091
- [man] Good. You all right?
- [Conor] Yeah.
829
00:46:41,091 --> 00:46:45,470
[Audie] So now, it's just another chapter
in his own life and career,
830
00:46:45,470 --> 00:46:50,267
and the story's being told
and it will unfold right before our eyes.
831
00:46:50,267 --> 00:46:55,188
[Julian] It's looking promising
for getting back in training again.
832
00:46:55,188 --> 00:46:56,940
[pants]
833
00:46:56,940 --> 00:46:59,150
Back in no time.
834
00:46:59,150 --> 00:47:02,070
Where's that Brazilian at? [chuckles]
835
00:47:02,070 --> 00:47:05,073
{\an8}[John] Certainly with Conor,
he has shown himself to be somebody
836
00:47:05,073 --> 00:47:08,910
{\an8}that long after
any financial incentive was there,
837
00:47:08,910 --> 00:47:10,954
he is still doing it.
838
00:47:10,954 --> 00:47:13,123
Ah.
839
00:47:15,166 --> 00:47:16,835
- Welcome back.
- Welcome back.
840
00:47:16,835 --> 00:47:18,503
Welcome back.
841
00:47:18,503 --> 00:47:19,838
Yes!
842
00:47:19,838 --> 00:47:23,216
[John] I would challenge anybody
to give me a better reason,
843
00:47:23,216 --> 00:47:27,304
a better explanation
other than he clearly loves it.
844
00:47:27,304 --> 00:47:29,097
It's his passion.
845
00:47:29,097 --> 00:47:31,558
It's his love
for the thrill of competition.
846
00:47:31,558 --> 00:47:34,352
The enjoyment of the activity,
847
00:47:34,352 --> 00:47:36,104
the enjoyment of the sport,
848
00:47:36,104 --> 00:47:38,773
that has not waned, it's not gone away.
849
00:47:38,773 --> 00:47:41,526
If anything,
the power seems to be growing.
850
00:47:41,526 --> 00:47:42,944
Yes. [pants]
851
00:47:42,944 --> 00:47:46,031
There's always a way. Always a way.
852
00:47:46,031 --> 00:47:47,991
If you're willing,
853
00:47:47,991 --> 00:47:49,492
you're also able,
854
00:47:49,492 --> 00:47:51,953
and I'm more than fucking willing.
855
00:47:55,832 --> 00:47:59,127
{\an8}[Owen] From day one,
he just always had that belief in himself.
856
00:47:59,127 --> 00:48:01,046
He'll say something,
857
00:48:01,046 --> 00:48:03,173
lets everybody know he's gonna do it,
858
00:48:03,173 --> 00:48:05,216
and he'll be brave enough to go after it,
859
00:48:05,216 --> 00:48:08,762
whether it's fighting,
whether it's business...
860
00:48:09,804 --> 00:48:12,599
{\an8}[woman] Conor McGregor
just sold the majority of Proper 12
861
00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:14,976
{\an8}for $600 million.
862
00:48:14,976 --> 00:48:17,646
{\an8}[man] Conor McGregor
was the highest paid athlete
863
00:48:17,646 --> 00:48:20,398
{\an8}in 2021.
864
00:48:21,149 --> 00:48:24,027
[Conor] I know I'm a made man.
I know I'm set.
865
00:48:24,027 --> 00:48:25,820
It's nice having that in the back pocket.
866
00:48:25,820 --> 00:48:28,990
It makes me, like, "Yeah, lovely.
You're damn right, I'm a made man.
867
00:48:28,990 --> 00:48:31,076
You're damn right I'm set."
868
00:48:31,076 --> 00:48:33,244
I'm extremely grateful for it.
869
00:48:33,244 --> 00:48:35,705
I'm proud of my life
and what I've done.
870
00:48:35,705 --> 00:48:37,666
I'm motivated to keep going,
871
00:48:37,666 --> 00:48:40,460
but I'm a competitor,
through and through.
872
00:48:40,460 --> 00:48:43,546
I'm at my best when I'm in competition.
873
00:48:44,798 --> 00:48:48,093
I'm gonna fight for me,
for my enjoyment and my love of it.
874
00:48:48,093 --> 00:48:50,845
For the love of being
in great physical condition,
875
00:48:50,845 --> 00:48:52,681
in body and mind.
876
00:48:52,681 --> 00:48:55,767
For the love of giving entertainment
to the fans
877
00:48:55,767 --> 00:48:58,353
and the people that support me,
do or die.
878
00:48:58,353 --> 00:49:01,606
- Through it all, the fans support me.
- [man] I love you, Conor!
879
00:49:03,566 --> 00:49:05,985
Most days back smiling, yeah?
880
00:49:05,985 --> 00:49:07,654
Feel pretty good, though.
881
00:49:07,654 --> 00:49:10,240
So, well ready, well up for it.
882
00:49:11,616 --> 00:49:14,160
My legacy is already set in stone.
883
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,788
I broke the game
before I was 30 years of age.
884
00:49:16,788 --> 00:49:20,250
[man] Mr. McGregor, let's do this.
885
00:49:21,543 --> 00:49:23,795
[Conor] I've been fighting my entire life.
886
00:49:23,795 --> 00:49:25,714
I just wanna compete,
I wanna do what I love to do,
887
00:49:25,714 --> 00:49:28,091
and I will continue to do so.
888
00:49:29,968 --> 00:49:32,220
{\an8}It's what I was put here to do.
889
00:49:41,396 --> 00:49:43,440
That's what I've been doing,
I've been just figuring out
890
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,316
more and more stuff about myself.
891
00:49:46,276 --> 00:49:47,986
And I've been really enjoying it.
892
00:49:47,986 --> 00:49:50,238
I'm gonna keep going.
I don't think I'm there yet, you know.
893
00:49:50,238 --> 00:49:54,033
I think I've barely unlocked
my potential.
894
00:49:59,539 --> 00:50:02,375
[Conor] I'm gonna get a picture
of all you motherfuckers.
895
00:50:02,375 --> 00:50:03,835
[crowd laughs]
896
00:50:03,835 --> 00:50:06,880
You might all have to just take
a little half a step back.
897
00:50:08,381 --> 00:50:09,924
[laughs]
898
00:50:09,924 --> 00:50:11,259
[camera shutter clicks]
899
00:50:14,262 --> 00:50:16,473
[closing theme music playing]
