UFC 264: Pre-fight Press Conference | Poirier vs McGregor 3

nice to them, you try to help them before everyone, now it is what it is and that's it, I'm coming for all of them, Dustin, do you think it's important to have a strong rival also do what is important to have a strong rival? Do you think all these guys are rivals? You know we're competing to be the number one wrestler and a question for Dana Conner mentioned Allegiant Stadium. You know we'll be back at T-Mobile Arena, but is there any hope of gaining loyalty soon? Don't know. I'm assuming. someday we will have a

fight

that we will put there, you know, we will see what happens, we will see what happens this weekend and for the rest of this year.

Question for Connor, I'm curious. You've been talking a lot about legacy. How interested would you be in a trilogy

fight

with Nate Díaz? It is sure to happen, it must happen, but one and one it must happen, it will happen. I have been looking forward to the day and to Dustin since I went. At ATC, you and Mike Brown have really developed a strong relationship, how much do you credit him with becoming the fighter you are today? You see a lot of my growth and my, uh, you know my evolution as a mixed martial artist combining everything. my my kickboxing with my wrestling my jiu jitsu he's a great guy to have in your corner and the last thing for me for Connor just going to Louisiana wasn't good enough for you was you leaving Louisiana?

I was not up to the task of achieving it. You, as you needed to be, was for connor. What else do you think you still have to achieve? You were already a simultaneous champion of two division titles. What else do you have on your radar for coaching cut fights? That's what I love to do. what I do, I've been doing it my whole life and that's it, you know, more mega fights, why do you guys approach people in the boxing world that I know trying to bring boxing experience, shoot while you guys stand approach my friends to bring to camp, why would you sell to know even Hickory Blade and Sparks Paulie Malinaji and Spartan to the head until 40 Floyd, one of the best boxers in this book and on the planet, you are stupid, we never called no one to ask? someone for any sword, a piece of information about you, but we both did the same thing with you, go ahead, ask, ask for connor, so, connor, uh, the lack of trash talk last time made things easier for Dustin, he said, but did can you regain an intimidation factor after losing?

It's, how do you regain a psychological advantage? We don't give a damn about everything that locks me in the cage with them. You're going to see what happens to Dustin, so you knew the trash talk was coming this time. How do you prepare? that's why I don't care about these things anymore, I don't care about these things anymore, okay, and for Dana, how much do you appreciate the back and forth as a promoter? It doesn't matter one way or another. You know I don't care, okay yeah, thanks to the esports teams, connor, congratulations on being on the cover of Forbes, thank you very much, how long until you're a billionaire when I'm 25, now I'm 32, 35 ?

You'll be 33 next week. Do you want Boss Dana to give you something for your birthday? Now I have everything I need. I have everything I need. Dustin Connor tweeted about what you know first. I want to shoot like a weasel. Are you going to stop? and bang or you're going to shoot, I'm going to bomb and shoot, have a good night, okay, so guys, Forrest Griffin has a question here that was submitted by fans, thanks guys, gentlemen, uh, I have the question decided by the fans. from the Socio app and that question is, I'll start with you, Dustin, what's the worst part of wrestling camp and what's the best part of wrestling camp.

The worst part is probably for me, at the end of camp my body hurts, you know? I've been doing it for nine weeks straight and I'm ready to fight, being here in the last two weeks of camp, coming to this this week is the hardest and what's the best part, I have a feeling, I know. I love the beginning of camp. I love the beginning of camp. Return to the gym with the boys. I feel good. Thank you. Thank you. Connor. Same question for you. I love it. I love everything. There is nothing like that. Hate.

I love everyone. a little bit from the beginning to the middle and the end to getting ready so far here in the

press

after that tomorrow in the Saturday night fight. I love everything. The best part of any fight camp is the actual fight. that's the right answer, okay, we have time for one last question, go ahead, Mr. Dustin Connor, in interviews this week he said that he admits that he was looking past you in the second fight, looking more at Manny Pacquiao, did you Do you consider it an excuse and not? You feel like you got the best of what was left of him in that fight.

I beat him. I mean, it's a fight. It's up to you to prepare. I beat him. What will be his excuse on Saturday? That's what I want to know about Connor's story. he has shown that when you are active you are smarter. Do you think you will look back on this five year period and regret having only fought three times in your prime? I don't regret anything I've done on this planet. You know, as long as I live. I love my life, I've done amazing things and you know I've had an amazing career and I can go on for a long time, conor, should we expect you to review the calf kicks in this fight?

You won't pay to see that? And finally, Connor, I've watched all of your interviews this week. It seems like you've hesitated to give Mystic Mac's official prediction for this one. Can you go on record right now? Oh, I said I'll take him out on a stretcher. He's going to come out on a stretcher in this fight what a round sir, you'll pay to see that, thank you, okay, let's get this stuff out of here and face these guys for a showdown, thank you, see you at the weigh-ins. tomorrow we go abroad uh oh
