11 years ago today, we got one of the greatest interviews in MMA history. “You’re looking at the current king, Ariel. You’re interviewing the current king…and July 11th the current king will be there raising gold.” Less than two weeks later at UFC 189, during McGregor’s iconic walkout, Joe Rogan put the monumental moment for Ireland into words: “We’ve seen countries get behind their fighters before, but there’s never been anything like this. The Irish people have come out tonight in a way that just defines them as a nation. And this man has incredible weight on his shoulders right now. The pressure that he’s experiencing right now, the hype behind all of this, very few human beings in this world will ever experience anything remotely similar to what’s going on inside the mind and the body of Conor McGregor as he steps into this octagon.” That was the atmosphere surrounding Conor McGregor before and during UFC 189. But Conor’s interview with Ariel Helwani 10 days before fight night, at the UFC x Reebok launch in New York City, will forever be gold. He still didn’t know if Jose Aldo or Chad Mendes would be standing across from him. Conor didn’t care. When Ariel asked about Aldo potentially pulling out, Conor said he didn’t blame him: “If an individual is afraid to fight, you cannot force him. So it is what it is. If he’s running, if he’s scared, there’s nothing I can do…Sometimes I look in the mirror and get a little fright as well looking at myself. I am an absolute animal. A machine. So I probably wouldn’t want to fight me either.” The whole situation was unprecedented. A fighter had just traveled the world on the most intense media tour the sport had ever seen, only to have his championship opponent thrown into uncertainty 10 days out. McGregor embraced the chaos, and walked into UFC 189 with the backing of a country behind him like we’ve never seen before. Now, 11 years later, UFC 329 lands on that exact same date, July 11th. The last time he fought on July 11th, he opened as the slight underdog. By the time the Octagon door closed, he was around a -190 favorite. There are underdogs, and then there’s Conor McGregor, a one-man market mover. 👊🏼: Conor McGregor 🎙️: Ariel Helwani

🚨 Michael Carrick on his desire to sign Bournemouth’s Alex Scott as the third midfielder for the new season: 🗣️ "Alex Scott is someone I’ve watched closely and he fits exactly what we’re looking for as that third midfielder option... "He’s a left-footed player which gives us better balance in the middle of the park... "We already have quality in there but the season is long and we need depth that can step in without the level dropping... "Scott has the energy, the technical ability and the willingness to press high which suits the way I want the team to play... "He’s still young enough to develop further under us at Carrington but already experienced enough from his time at Bournemouth... "Having another left-sided midfielder allows us to rotate and change shape more easily depending on the opponent... "I’ve spoken to the recruitment team and he’s high on the list because he can play in different roles across the middle... "The idea is not to bring him in as a starter straight away but as a reliable squad player who can grow into a bigger role... "His left foot gives us different passing angles and helps us build from the back with better balance.. "Bournemouth won’t want to lose him cheaply but if the numbers work we will push hard for the deal... "I see him as the type of signing that strengthens the group without creating pressure on the main lads... "If we can get it done it gives us that extra midfield body we need for the campaign ahead."
