Anyone else just watch it live online?
Had absolutely everything. It was extraordinary. What an atmosphere! Raucous, raw Dublin wit, put downs from the crowd like you wouldn't believe. Most compelling/hilarious thing I have seen in years.
All that was missing was Fran from Love/Hate pulling up in the Hiace but there was more than enough characters there already that frankly he wouldn;t have even stood out.
No doubt will be on youtube very soon. Be sure to watch in full.
Its the final part of an 8 part Embedded series following the global press tour...watch watching all 7 eps first to get a feel for the buildup before what was an incredible finale in Dublin.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxoT34adJ_4 Put kettle on, put your feet up and prepare to be very very entertained. I just hope they haven't censored any of it. |

Proud or not you cannot help but be entertained! Why not try watching it before commenting?

"After Conor beats you are you gonna cry like a little b*tch?"
shocked a man of Ozymandius class (well supposed class) finds supposed grown men asking such stupid questions entertaining  The little kid was very funny though, good on him |
|
By:
i have watched it and im embarrassed..grabbing aldos belt was sad and the crowd look rent a crowd? ireland versus brazil?!?! my god..theres more living in a suburb of rio than all of ireland??!?!?
|
|
By:
You watched it How ? Live? Why would you tune in? You havent had time to watch the replay yet.
Check out Ep 1 to get some context of when Connor was in front of the Rio crowd? |
|
By:
Its my guilty pleasure, Pre Fat and the questions are all contextual if you have been watching the Embedded series.
|
|
By:
even had a knob get up saying Tiocfaidh Ar La (or however ya spell it)
 crowd full of townie knackers |
|
By:
looked at it there on you tube. seen enuf of that sh1t..i wouldnt look at anymore of it. all i know il be backing aldo at a falsey generous
price i hope..im suprised at the ufc letting this rubbish occuring they are dropping their standards a lot of late.. |
|
By:
Take it for what it is and enjoy it, rather than seeing it as an attack on, I don't know, the sanctity of Ronnnie Delaney's Gold Medal in 1958. It's a masterclass in promotion and hilarious with it!
|

By:
Casanova in the crowd telling Aldo to get surgery to his scar as it ain't attractive - the cut of your man saying it |
|
By:
straight out of central casting for Love/Hate
 |
|
By:
classy comment!!
|
|
By:
McGregor was breathing rather heavy after the face off - does seem to have a height advantage and i presume a reach advantage
|
|
By:
Has an awful lot of weight to lose to get to 145, is very drained at that weight. ok, a lot heavier by fight time but still a gruelling process.
|
|
By:
doesnt seem to be stopping his mouh!!
|
|
By:
Funnily enough, he did say he loves doing so much of the promo work this early because it can be a real strain in the weeks leading up to fight when he is more focussed on the weight.

TO be fair McGregor has backed up everything he has said SO FAR.. McGregor fights are on youtube for anyone who hasn,t seen them... A nice flavor of how good McGregor is at at press conference [- the irish fans ] is here , worth a look if you haven,t seen it, .....................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHVw_TLLwW4

By:
Im a McGregor fan but i found some of it down right embarrassing , Many of the fans didn,t ask questions they just shouted stupid remarks at Aldo. 20mins and i hit the off switch. My 20.37 post was Mcgregor at his best.

By:
Ronnie Delaney's gold ( 1956 ) remains firmly in Top 5 performances of all time by any sporting Irishman , south or north . And a nice guy to boot .
|
|
By:
Aldo is bookies fav to win...
|
|
By:
Agree with you about Ronnie; Kelly........Roger when the fight was sanctioned Aldo was 1.7 to win ;hitting around 1.9 now .
|
|
By:
that was great , all the heads were at this event.
good entertainment now to be fair |
|
By:
Kavvie and Premier the only 2 talking any sense on this thread.
This whole ufc stuff is the most cringe worthy thing to come along in I don't know how many years, no skill involved like boxing, just hop into the ring and try batter the sh1te out of your opponent by whatever means you like. |

X rated and crude no doubt and not everyone's cup of tea. But then humour barriers are constantly extending what with Gross Out Movies becoming mainstream etc (rightly or wrongly)
On the other hand you could say it is refreshing in this PC day and age for a sport to allow people to say what they want to say without subsequent censorship or fear for the brand! I would also assert that if you had watched the whole Embedded series, the content would not have been quite as shocking to you. Almost all the comments were contextual and related back to a prior conversation or incident in the series; it wasn't just vulgarity and bad language purely for the sake of it. McGregor has the crowd by the balls and they are buying into and regurgitating his content and delivery. Oh and there was a fierce lot of drink taken. The whole of da Liberties was on an all day bender. As regards the sport, am no expert, but not sure how people can say that there is no skill involved. Try multi -skilled. In being closest to street fighting, does that not make it the purest of all combat sports? When we go to see a 'fight' do we not really want to see a proper fight? Are these men not closer to Gladiators than any other fighting professionals today? |

"Conor, What does Jose's **** taste like?" asked by 1 lad (yes seriously an adult)
and the crowd all thought it was hilarious bloody heck the Brazilian lad looked perplexed at the morons |
|
By:
*pu$$y*
|
|
By:
Conor had said to Jose at the face off a few days previous; 'I can smell you fear, I can smell your pu$$y'....its a cult fllowing, they know all the lines.
|

By:
I'll be supporting CMac for the fight. Another great night for the Fighting Irish...
Enjoying that Notorious series. Not often we get a chance to whoop the Brazilians at something. They think they are the best at everything. Half my family are Brazilian... It's on like Donkey Kong at the crib... |
|
By:
It was weirdly entertaining, I will give it that. However I wasn't laughing with those in the crowd (bar the young lad who says he will join the UFC in a few years, he was good), I was laughing at them
|
|
By:
oh, for sure, but as long as you laughing, then you are engaged.
|
|
By:
A load of rubbish imo , some of those fans were embarressing to say the least ,sure I want to see the Irishman win but ffs that was cringeworthy , and then you had the MC asking people what the JOURNALISTS were saying ,the ignorant plank ...

Watched the Embedded series on youtube. Enjoyed that.
It's a nice lifestyle they have carved out for themselves. e7million the gate alone for the Las Vegas fight. An international superstar he is now whether people like it or not. If he beats the Brazilian it'll be some achievement. Arnold calls him the McGregornator. Arnold was the original King of Charisma, he recognises talent when he sees it. McGregor is Box Office, he was magnetic on the Late Late Show. Just has to keep winning now. He has the world in his hands. July 11 can't come soon enough. |
