Conor McGregor is undoubtedly a UFC all-time great. The Irishman was the first fighter to hold UFC championships in two different weight categories simultaneously.
However, McGregor is arguably as well known for his pre-fight interviews, where he has provided great entertainment. This month has seen a video of him dominating a pre-fight interview in the build up to his 2016 clash with Nate Diaz. “Notorious” needles his opponent from the outset, telling the American to: “Take a coffee break,” when CNBC’s Jane Wells said the interview was going to be about money.
When Wells suggested that both men, “Count to ten” for producton purposes, McGregor pounced. The Irishman suggested that this was beyond Diaz’s capabilities saying: “Nate can only count to five”.
