Jesus, the atmosphere in this interview was very, very cagey. Seems like no one wanted to be there.

I agree but surely there are contributory factors. Obvious ones to me looking at the clip were 1. Interviewer was rubbish 2. Location was sterile, it was like a morning time tv set with the US equivalent of philip schofield. So extra hard to get into the right mode because of that.
I think this tour seemed a good idea at the time but theres just to many city visits. I think if they ever do future tours and im not sure they will it will be 3-4 cities max. It just seems too drawn out and even at this stage i think participants and even dana are getting slightly tired of it already.

Awesomeness

I read an article about this interview. They had 2 run ins earlier in the day with McGregor touching Aldo who lost his ****. Refused to do any more media before Dana talked him into it.

Then this interview happened. Dana was sitting there with Conor for 20 minutes before Aldo showed up. Was very tense and not helped by interviewer.

Moved aldo to a different hotel afterwards so they wouldnt run into each other again that day

Here is the new embedded that shows Conor tugging Aldo's hoodie. Jaysus the tension even before the cameras turn on, mental!

I cannot wait for this fight.. the tension coming across in the videos is crazy.

While I'm certainly a massive fan of Conor, what makes his tormenting of Aldo and belittling of the man all the more surreal, is the fact that there is a legitimate chance that Aldo knocks him out in July, but McGregor clearly doesn't give a ****.

This is a man who's one of the greatest champions in UFC history, and McGregor is treating him like a sham :pac:

D.Q

Aldo is so intense. Cant wait for the fight.

Jesus that is the definition of a death stare from Aldo!! :eek:

He is the biggest wind up merchant ever:)

Typical Irish way, no-one does the wind ups better!

I don't think McGregor came across great in that last clip.

there is winding someone up and then theres just being disrespectful, grabbing him from behind was over the line imo. He is very good at winding him up, but yet claims he only does it because aldo spoke about him out of turn, sounds like double standards to me.

yeah when I watched the clip containing the moment he touched him from behind I thought it was a strange thing to do especially coming from a professional sportsman. It almost had the trademarks of classroom antics.

Was watching the London press conference. Dana wanted to close off O'Connell Street for the fan event. :pac:

Is there a link to the London presser?

sc86

how many tickets went on sale for tomorrow?

dave1982

Jesus Conor was feeling very testy in the last blog, not seen much of Aldo personality up until the blogs so not sure if that way he is all the but the way he letting do that **** is surprising.

Aldo is very close to hitting Conor a box.If it did happen be interesting to see how UFC handle it, Conor is looking for it tbf so no one can blame Aldo if he did

I'd have to laugh if Aldo KO'd Conor in Dublin at the presser.I guessing Conor be extra hyper in Dublin may push Aldo too far

Jayo_M

So, eh, any tickets for tomorrow lads?

McGregors constant trash talk is getting old. It was funny at the start but it's just the same thing over and over - I'm gonna rip your head clean of, that's my belt etc and to make is worse Aldo doesn't understand a word. He could at least try and add a few new ones to the script!

Scooper

In fairness to McGregor though, this whole world tour must be head-wrecking. New day, new venue, but it's the same questions time after time and it goes on and on. He has to repeat himself and as annoying as it is for the fans to hear, it must be really frustrating for him to have to put up with it. The main reason people are getting tired of it now, is because it's being shoved in our faces. Everyday on YouTube, there's a new video of McGregor, a new interview, a new press conference etc. and it's the same questions that he's getting asked.

The UFC have hyped this fight to the absolute limit now. I'd say both fighters just can't wait to get Dublin out of the way now(especially Aldo) and start up their training camps.

This is true, it's at the absolute limit, thank god for all concerned there's only one left

fermanagh_man

I'm sure conor will take the trash talk to a whole new level tomorrow
