Conor McGregor: Notorious Page #4

---

aggressive jab, right hand.

I'll step back, bang, a left

hook, and that will be it.

[Dee] If you change the way you think

and you believe every single breath

you take that you are the best...

And I was the first person to

really hear him speak those words

and hear him be so passionate.

I always did believe him. Always.

And I always will.

[man] Do you know what's happening?

I'm just reading some online reports

that are about Aldo breaking his rib.

[Lobov] You're not gonna

fight with a broken rib.

After all this effort.

Sh*t.

Is Conor still asleep?

- He hasn't heard anything?

- He's asleep.

You'll hear it. "Aaah!"

- Off that, into the pool.

- [laughing]

He got kicked in the ribs

during a sparring session.

[Kavanagh] How hard were

they f***ing sparring?

Exactly. How hard can you be sparring?

Spinning heel kick to the ribs.

This is not what we expected

today. Not what we expected.

That's crazy, two and a half weeks out.

Right. Two and a half weeks out.

Somebody's kicking you so

hard, they break your ribs.

[Dee] What's up?

Hey, sunshine.

What's up?

- This is what you call a rude awakening.

- Yeah.

He broke his f***ing rib.

Oh, my God. So what happens now?

- That's why we're here.

- We're here to talk to you.

He has a non-displaced fracture,

which means that it's...

Were they whomping the hell

out of each other in the gym?

- [man] Yeah.

- What? Take a body shot?

- Sounds like a...

- It was a body shot? - Yeah.

- He got hit with a body shot?

- [Fertitta] Kick.

F***in' hell.

We have a date, September 5, here in Vegas,

which gives you another seven weeks.

- Then you can fight Aldo.

- Yeah, but that's September.

Whether I want to take

another one is the question.

[Fertitta laughs] I didn't know

there was an option, actually.

[White] Which I did. I knew

that you would say that.

I knew you would say that.

Thanks, man.

- Later. Coach. All right, man.

- Thanks for coming.

Just carry on business as

usual, hit the gym tonight.

Yes.

- See what happens.

- Yeah.

- Hey. Whup-a!

- Yeah. [chuckles]

- [Conor] Oh!

- [chuckles]

[Conor] I knew that one sunk.

Doesn't matter who it is. Whoever

steps in the cage is getting taken out.

Jos, Nate, Chad... Whoever the f***.

Whoever it is is getting f***ed up bad.

- Hey.

- Hi. How are you guys?

[man] Just give us your reaction

to the news that's come down here

that you've learned about Jos Aldo

and the potential of

having to face Chad Mendes.

It means nothin' to me. The

result will remain the same.

It doesn't matter who is in front of me.

I am the pound-for-pound

number one,

so whoever's standing

across from me will get it.

That'll work.

[Conor] Had a little tiny

bruise. [clears throat]

- [mutters]

- And panic set in.

Fear set in. So...

Doctors have revealed that he's a p*ssy.

So now it's known he's a p*ssy.

[Conor] I'm fighting Mendes, Sergey.

- Yeah?

- For the interim belt.

- No way.

- Yeah. It's perfect.

As long as there's a belt on the line,

I'm good. Do you know what I mean?

Be different if there's

no belt on the line.

I'm gonna go in and pile the

pressure on straight from the bell.

Big, big shots. Big knees.

Hit high and shut him down.

The belt's on the line. That

makes all the difference.

Chad, can I just ask you a little bit

about your superior wrestling skills,

the advantage you would have?

You know, I'm the type of

guy that has the athleticism

and I have the wrestling ability

to put this dude on his back...

anybody in the division,

to put them on their back.

[Kavanagh] It's always been the question:

how will he do against a wrestler?

Now we answer that question.

He hasn't been training for

years with Sergey for no reason.

[Conor] My mind is absolutely bulletproof.

So if you are number one, who gives a sh*t

if number two steps out

in place of number three?

- 'Cause he doesn't shoot like the way he's training.

- Yeah.

- It's that. Whoa-ah!

- Yeah.

And he's afraid of the feet.

At that range, he's gonna be like...

He's gonna be facing me.

He's gonna have to come...

- He'll be shooting from miles out there.

- [grunts]

[Mendes] In my opinion, Conor is

a very one-dimensional fighter.

He doesn't have wrestling.

He doesn't have jujitsu.

You wipe all that hype outta here, I'm

gonna get in there and destroy this dude.

- Bottom line.

- [crowd cheering]

[grunting]

[mutters]

- Was that a pop?

- Yeah.

- On my leg?

- Yeah.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

No. It wasn't in that leg, was it?

There's nothin'. Didn't feel nothin'.

- It was a pop, wasn't it?

- Yeah.

It's all right. It was nothin'.

- Was it?

- No.

Sorry, man.

[Dee]

- Yeah.

- You all right?

- I heard a crack.

- Where?

In my right knee.

Nothin' more. No pain or nothin'.

Just, "Uh. What was that?"

[man] Was it extending it or coming down?

I had it bent like that in

a body triangle position.

Get that out of me face, will ya?

- Let's go.

- Where is it? Here?

[man] Yep. Right here on the left.

[Conor] Some MRI place.

See there's nothin' wrong.

That's it. What do you want me to say?

[Lobov] We're not sure exactly

what the situation is at the moment.

I mean, he was already on one leg.

This morning he was at the

lowest point you can be.

Uh, but I think he's just gonna

fight through it either way.

There's no other way.

This fight is too big.

[Conor] When I throw a

roundhouse, it's balancing...

I can't balance again.

- Entire leg unstable.

- Yeah.

[makes grinding noise] Couple times.

See that? It's freakin' me out.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- It's making me question whether it's stable.

That's not right.

Anytime I compress now, it's sore.

Okay. And the back? Do you still

feel that pressure in the back?

Yeah.

[Lobov] Pretty much anyone in the world

would have pulled out of the fight.

Conor is training without an ACL.

I mean, you're not supposed

to be able to walk without ACL.

Just for those things alone, that's

how I know he's gonna be the champion.

[people chattering]

- Hey.

- I was like,

"Ma, two up, two down." Not anymore.

Get this. Hasn't seen her in ages.

[Margaret] How are you, Son?

- Feeling good?

- Where's Da?

He's on his way.

Big cry from down Crumlin, isn't it?

[Erin] Oh, my God. [squealing]

- Oh, my God.

- Hey.

- Love, love, love ya. Miss ya loads.

- Oh, miss yous too.

[Erin] Surreal, isn't it?

Are you just kind of used to it now?

This is cool, isn't it?

- What's up?

- Long time no see. How you doin'?

- Good, good, good.

- How's the weight situation? On top of it, yeah?

We knew you would be.

- There's rumors going around.

- Ah...

Where's he going? Twenty-seven.

[moans]

I'm surrounded... by luxuries.

But it certainly involves

a lot of sacrifice.

- [Dee] People see the nice things.

- People see the nice things.

They don't have to walk by them two scales.

That's... That's not good.

- [Kavanagh] How ya feelin'?

- [Conor] I feel all right.

It's a little bit creaky.

Just going up and down there?
