One of his greatest quotes
7:36 this why i like Ariel. 7 minutes in dude asks the right questions and Conor is slightly thrown off of his bad man demeanor and the family man one. Mcgregor knew what was happening and tells him to stop it. 😂
@@misterexpensive this is not breaking imo but just see in what mindset conor is in
This is why Shmo and the others could never compare... They ain't got the guts like Ariel does

I remember hanging out with Ariel in 2010 at J Jones fight in San Diego. He was just a nerd with a cameraman and a KZhead account. After all the hate he gets this man is the best ever and most dedicated. Keep up the good work Helwani !!
Agree. He's the best
He’s a little worm
He's still a nerd with a cameraman and almost no following. What changed?

Exactly. And if conor believes it he is in more trouble than I think he is.

My prediction, Conor is going to make the right adjustments this weekend and beat Dustin. However, it's going to be a close competitive fight.
BT sport censored the England flag in the live stream on the next video. Discrimination at its finest.
I believe Conors' time at the top of MMA sport is over. But I will miss his shenanigans when he's gone. Terrible in a loss though & not a good person imo.
McGregor gets ko'd in the 3rd.
Conor gets choked out in the second
I hope he wins but i doubt it

He was probably trying to raise the value of Proper Twelve by being "classy". Now that he has sold the company he can be himself.

“I’m a bad man without the fam” legendary stuff as always 😂
One Conor/ Ariel interview later: Hype intensified 10x
Ariel is a C+ interviewer. Replay this piece over and over. Some childish probing with hardly anything new and enlightening. Not an apples to apples comparison, ... but listen to any of Dan Hardy's analysis of the upcoming fight and listen to an A+ MMA voice!
The audio on BT sport is so much better
stil not how it should be
Sounds as good as the Stephan A one lol
La
Ariel's sound is repeating
@@girikbhagwani6324 yh it is
Well, looks like Dustin was the one pointing, once again.
This is the first time I see and hear Conor being totally relaxed and just being himself in total comfort and it suits him so much better then the way he acts when he's not relaxed and being a bad guy, it's very pleasant to see and hear Conor this way. Both great fighters and both good men but heart goes out to Conor and hope he wins this one and gives us much more fights to come.
It’s okay that u just started watching MMA lol. He’s usually like this

Ariels buzzing, Dana wants nothing to do with him, then Conor refuses to do any Embedded, then Ariels first guest on BT is Conor🤣 brilliant.
Ariel is winning big time😂😂
My theory Smith ask ESPN to try and get Ariel out give him a pay cut so Smith can do the interviews and try and prove he can do MMA interviews but he doesn't have knowledge but knows he could ask anything cause Dana can't tell smith your out like he did with Ariel .. So now i think Ariel and Smith will have the greatest battle in journalism history

One day, Ariel Helwani deserves to be in the UFC HOF in the contributer wing. Along with Frank Shamrock, and Tank Abbott
4:16 because Conor didn’t want to sit down and let that torn up leg pain settle in for when he stands back up. He’s not admitting to his faults I don’t think, here. He’s fighting emotionally. Angry , ready . Might gas out early

Glad to see Ariel back on the grind. Love his perspective and humility. Keep it up Ariel!
He feels a lot more honest and comfortable with Ariel like he's talking to someone who understands him, it brings out the best version of the both of them

It's almost shocking how good Ariel is in comparison to other interviewers He always has this chemistry with the fighters, it's like the fighters open up with him a bit more BT with him is even more complete than it was before and that should scare the other mma channels shitless Loved this interview
Almost 20yrs in the business.

Ariel and Dan Hardy are with BT Sport?! 😮 Legendary team with the best interviewer and analyst working together! Not to mention Conor is always the most fun to watch.
Isn't BT based in the UK? Great move on acquiring Ariel
Yes it is British.
That “Early” was brilliant🤣
Conor is certainly sounding like his own self. Confident and focused. We'll see if it transitions into the fight. Love both guys but hoping Mcgregor gets the W.
Loving the “authentic” bookcase Ariel 😂
The guys a compulsive liar. Saying he was up straight away when there's video footage of him everywhere lying on the canvas sleeping 😴 and saying dustin was out on his feet in the first and second 🤣🤣🤣 it's embarrassing
Well thats his take & opinion, but for sure Conor did catch him and had him rocked a couple times, Dustin even admitted it. Obv wasn't enough to get the W. The other thing here, at this point that's all Conor has is his power..love or hate him, doesn't matter, Conor still has that one Punch KO ability which will always make him dangerous to other fighters and makes fans tune in to watch it.
"We are now just hours away" Such a strange way of putting it. Its still days away. Technically it is "hours away" even when its months away.
He’s just saying that bc the hours will go by fast 💨
juckt doch keinen

Here fresh after the fight. And I'm looking it. 💎
Ok, Conor’s definitely gonna be late for later’s press conference….
For sure
Lmaooo first thing he said this interview was "I do whatever I want" same vibe as "sorry I'm late I just don't give a FOOK"
deez nuts were late to your chin

Love how Conor shows Ariel the respect he deserves, and vice versa. Ariel is such a great MMA journalist, and Conor knows that. They almost sound like old friends talking at this point.
The “Early :p” at the end 😂😂😂💀
It’s not official until Ariel and McGregor have their interview. “ doubt me now“ Connor is back!
*conor…
His ability to promote a fight will never be matched. I came here thinking he's done for and after the interview he just made me believe he's gonna smoke Dustin in matter of seconds.
🤞🤞👍👊
I love both fighters, but I still see Dustin winning. If Conor wins it is good for the UFC.
Yep 👍
It concerns me that he was eyeing a Pacquiao fight after poirier. Seems to me he has very little care for mma of this is the case. The guy to me just seems like he wants money because if he cares, he would of been preparing for title shot and not boxing fight. Compared to poirier who been fighting non stop for years.
I think it will be different than last time if conor truly dialed in on his mma.
For a second I saw father Connor, it was so wholesome 😂 greatest entertainer of all time
Connor doesn’t sound convinced about the donation issue himself.
He sounds like someone who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars yet wanted to support an actual charity and not just some charity case gym owner in Louisiana lol
He got bigger problems to deal with
*Ariel leaves ESPN* *ESPN lets Stephan A Smith do their UFC interviews*
