Kind: captions Language: en yeah Conor McGregor is back on the 18th there's no UFC 246 live from Las Vegas t-mobile Arena Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone a hundred and seventy pounds yeah return of the Mack he's back also plays that's gonna be junk having his birthday as well by the way happy birthday to coach calf Barry I'm not gonna lie to you and I'm very very excited for eyes what Connor McGregor called the start of his season yeah I really like the way he's calling seasons all right oh yeah yeah say at a French Open port like is he so ahead of the curve and everything yeah like I have not heard one for it or been like season yeah I'm like you fight for knowing once you take three months off and then your foyer for nine months I think that's like the perfect way to do I also think McGregor's brilliant at st. active when he is in the fight game I think a lot of Fighters can learn from nah I don't understand like defiers or rito is that you don't get paid for sitting at home yeah you mean like that's why I have a lot of respect for Donald Cerrone you get indicate so off you know I mean I think he's in the top 10 UFC earners of all time now just due to the fact that he fight so often well for just could be injured as well and they also caught me doing sorry projects as well you know I know I know loud Maura boy I think when you get into the UFC keep a comb or someone sometimes like Kumail four elephants cave and then you take a little time off yeah like if that was me oh but like right after still the Floyd camp I was just knocks mail in ten seconds which point for you gets here well in this called shape yeah I'm staying relevant much how important is the staying relevant in the fight game like if you look at three people this year who had an absolute I was sound in the air Israel to Sonya like he fought multiple times he stay relevant he you know kept his face and news and his body in the Octagon Jorge Mars with are like the absolutely epitome of doing that yeah and then like Henry's a hero didn't actually fight as much as the other two but oh my god hair what how many times you have to Crane his hand bend the triple c yeoman yeah it doesn't actually matter how often you fight sometimes you can keep your name and the news look Kobe Hold'em like so relevant this year yeah and that's what it's all about wasn't it dad is what it's relevant keeping people entertained been asking friends yes Ben Askren like do you appear to me of entertainment yeah yeah if it wasn't actually get much better than Ben Oscar Fox put but a bar you have more street you looking forward to UFC 246 it is a couple of weeks away it's fast approaching and I'm sorry it's it still hasn't hit me yet like I think they've also asked for Christmas present this to be it something like this soon a huge show like something that really helps our audience excuse me helps our show grow a lot so like it's it's like all great yeah I mean like I'm not like hasn't hit yet hasn't hit yet tell me this when you first heard the fight was announced what were your initial thoughts I was like I can't believe Connor is taking on Cowboys Roger so you're like you're annoyed leave it was back well well that but also like he kept saying peeves name and then it was also saying like Frankie Eggers name and I was like which way is he going with this like I mean that could be Frank Jaeger like two different way classes in Psych and then Cowboys then comes out and it's like oh that is like the most perfect fight for him but the thing is if you look at cowboy Cerrone as well cowboy Cerrone is like right if I beat him we're off to the races yeah absolutely cowboy Cerrone has the most wins the most knockdowns the most finishes the most bonuses in UFC history he's an absolute animal fighter and I think it's the perfect matchup from Gregor as well he's gonna fight some who's willing to sign on trade with him and so he says 170 do you think that more favors Cerrone or now that you've seen McGregor's new physique the more favored than McGregor or do you think it doesn't really matter because they're both sort of what lightweights fighting a welterweight see that's the thing it's it's 170 and I Technicolor looks brilliant at our weight like you mean like I think 155 looks good as well 145 he looks like a piranha that Nene hasn't eaten in a month but I think it's just it's perfect it's perfect for Cerrone as well you mean he doesn't like to make 155 that easy you mean means he can't go on the beers um laughter no it's just it's almost like if say if you go on to the UC Freud game they're like a sports game and then you're like right Connor 170 cowboy 170 let's go it's it's almost like they'll have each other for each other just random me on the street sort of thing you know yeah they're fine no almost have to walk around wait yeah no sir then they are well said there are actual for you wait and it is an interesting way about it McGregor seems to just fall here because he didn't want to cut the weight and that's what John Kavanagh says do you think that's good though mentally to have because I'm still on the fence about this I don't know if that's I am lament I think he just seen him serious McGregor's actually taking training just from local atamanov she's doing load the way training local as new physique and sort of that I hope I just hope he's doing a lot of road work he's run those miles he has like ass hang because there's always that worried the more mostly put on the less or the more fatigued yeah faster and so putting up 170 I think Kara is less susceptible to the knockout 170 than he was 155 pounds that's the way I look at it and I think might have been the second or third round before you seen okay just due to you know McGregor's straight left as a seed against Diaz it doesn't carry as much at 170 yeah but also I don't think like obviously in the build to the fight we're gonna be going over this a lot more but I don't like Conor carrying that extra weight going into championship rounds I don't see the way helping him no new they're not new Troy just due to the fact I think only carrying that extra weight helps if you're a rapper and obviously not rapper he's a striker like those bigger boys have some beer shoulder muscles are gonna be heavier gonna carry more like to gossip going into the Timeship rounds than they do in the earlier rounds yeah I said it's just me actually interest and came to the fight to the fight really as much yeah and then last time her own ephod dere until the sale part as well thinking wasn't a good annoy for me either you know now he lost that one quite so easily and look I suppose he you have to look at the strongly fight and I hate I'll tell you you're gonna say McGregor is gonna win yeah but I'm not like he's all like no fight is a gimme fight you know I mean you cannot be like Conor McGregor is Daphne going to win because absolutely no that's not guaranteed at all now who knows like even in the fight can't be cool getting injured and you know you know Connor he doesn't say anything until after 4:00 if he's injured not you know yeah look all I seen was gonna win I think you team's gonna win no I'm not saying you're not getting guarantees here that he's gonna win who do you think he's gonna for next because from seeing him do that interview on the Mac life it was almost like he was like ah I'm actually not that interested in Jorge mousetrap but you think he's just saying at the moment sort of follow us or do you think he is interested Mazda and that's personally the next I personally think he's gonna go for cage next so I sort of wanna like pan out his season in my head I know but like almost in my head like before you answer my question I would have said McGregor flies cowboy damn fights - without danforth could be that's the tree in the way it's written like the tree in the Ralph's that season if you could call it that but then it's master dominant meant away yeah weighed out his master out gonna be at this event to form a cracker to be like on the baddest [ __ ] in this in this company do you mean yeah like you could picture in Malmo saying I put then when does Conor ever say anything that you expect him to say and parents you go for Nate Diaz if you wanted to as well yeah I mean I know he lost Mars for now but like you could always like be like Roy I'll take that turn ideas point now I know but I don't see him just knocking around with people with no belts like that with no direct path that's why he what you said of a cage you would would make more sense rather than go into tears oh yeah well my prayers takers I feel like he he's almost gonna be like shoe up ke na QA was well at then or for yeoman when squee I'm gonna check you probably know what off the top you have C 249 in Brooklyn New York I think it's April well there you go that could be the one maybe like he says he could be ready stay ready that's on April 18th yet you see 249 could be he was taking on Tony Ferguson for the lightweight title so like if Connor gets what people are saying early finish he could be on point to fall in that card yeah the only thing is I don't think he'll actually fought on the only card on that card if that makes sense so so like is your main event or not otherwise in fact you could see Matt you see 250 you know in for engaging yeah I wouldn't rule anything out just yet although like DC versus deep it has a headline in event somewhere as well do you think he could fight right because if I don't 1:7 yeah you can fight Steven wonderful Thompson for the noisiest [ __ ] title absolutely not autopsy damn they'll be Larry soon and who to Paris fire he fought Wonder Boy a fortnight it was dainty as Arthur yeah I think I was yeah I was gonna say like like if Pettis knocked that one away in there for some nails there was no reason maybe Tony Ferguson I think was well now was a yeah I remember when he had to stop yeah I was born with like Pettis first McGregor be noise for as well to watch yeah just for like actual Python for yeah it's just like in the fight game like we especially when you open the top behind your Conor McGregor you're not gonna get like a few you're not gonna fight your own in then Froy Frank Jaeger and then fight Urijah Faber and they and Foley could be you know it's like right one big for one big win and your rope there yeah look at their until he was like stone dead and then came back I know he's nursing you know with an S middleweight contender yeah yeah as Matthew Upson downs the fight game it's not here's my yeah it is it's opened down up and down up and down like it's um but so the Pope sort of thinking I'm let us know who you thinks gonna win put an Conor McGregor against cowboy Cerrone at the moment I'm thinking Connor he's looking very fresh I just follow cowboy on my own and scram there just is just sort of stay open it's for camp yes yeah I've really seen it yes if he's drinking the beers yeah but like Connor the dole team SPG are over in Vegas EDC Shane yeah shame wounds are rare yeah yeah Fairplay jumbo legend oh no fair plates him yeah when I was like he's not real at all though you know like like you were talking how do you be everything easy I think it was a kickboxer so I think that's what I like yeah well fair paid too much a photos page open the UFC P oh yeah things over there like Zoe Dominick Cruz I was like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I can't wait to see the build apart the build-up you just yeah come away from bed yeah yeah just get you really really excited but also as we said my sub rosters apply for our medium cadets for Bellator told him that's Campos well that's coming headland boy change counter also it's a nails to James Keller is gonna be going to 40 count as well Ruff's winner lives he's on the bills off when you lose he is on the pills put what toilet well it's say a couple things bell tolling that's coming up soon yes about toward opens coming back and look belt or outlook or after off really well we low count their events and I think this time it's going to be a much better matchup for James much much more of a test I think a loner is eight and two so he was going to fight him master yeah and a lot more sort of respect to a record one might say and then anyone he's fought recently and also you have iron Chalmers or iron Geordie Shore as he's affection you know I'm falling on that card and I think he change his name on Twitter to aaron old Chalmers oh yeah and who else we have Rowan's go Ryan scope is for narrator Queenie a razor and a Peter queries for in breadcrumbs ramp Remus former Bellator lightweight champion yeah and that should be great for yeah which Cody's gonna fight on the car as well I'm probably really small and will flurry so you're getting turn all your urghhh heads in there and it looks like they're all facing safer competition the last one yeah it's gonna be like going into the Bellator fight when I don't know if the other person's gonna win yeah that was here just off the rails Ross arts British hello okay we just sent off our media could like a credentials and then I got in touch with the girl Holly you sorted it out last time um white and forget it back in torturous I'm sure things before and then do you think I should just far off no the emails and how I also we'd love to run a competition for you so yeah I think so oh no - I give away two free tickets belt or a room I think that'd be unreal yeah that sounds pretty good to me and then
