conor's reaction to that staged question

This stuff is not staged. Not in the sense that they are like the WWE where the script out things, or at least have a general plan of what they are going to do.
But they are not 100% genuine, imo, because of the camera effect. They know they are there to put on a show, and to build hype for the event. They know the cameras are on. And the fans are cheering them and egging them on to do something. And they egg each other on to get reactions.
And they hold back, because they know they don't want to ruin the actual fight, and don't want fines like Conor got last time for throwing a bottle.
So is it 100% "real"? That's all a matter of semantics. But it's certainly not scripted/fake.

I like to think of it as 'reality tv' level of real. It's sorta real, but not really real.
11
Maybe I'm in denial, but I just can't see them discussing with each other what they're gonna do at these press conferences.
20
Imo you're a fool if you believe conor and eddie are talking backstage to pre-organize antics

"Edward, lightly place a folding chair close to me and I'll take it from there."

"Great idear Mr. McGregor!"

They don't discuss it between themselves they're just told what to do. Conor being late is planned, Eddie walking out is planned, Conor arriving and taking Eddie's belt is planned and the whole chair spectacle with Conor's bad acting is planned.
Until fight night, it's all just a show. Truth hurts

Aghh the truth it hurts

This made me laugh so goddamn hard

Shut yo ass up.

For your sake we can pretend it's all spur of the moment authentic reactions
-22
Or we can all pretend you're right and in fact, it was staged (I imagine you have a credible source) and give you that satisfaction.

I 100% agree, to me this is nothing but theatrics until that cage door closes.

Watching too much WWE I see. They couldn't plan this shit. It's too good. Conor is clearly at the peak of his game right now waltzing around dressed like Biggie in a Coogi blasting "Notorious" from his Rolls Royce. This is real deal and that's why this motherfucker blew up like a bomb. Conor is out of his goddamn mind literally dressed like Joe Frazier with Santa pants on. Conor McGregor is trolling the world right now starring in his own dank meme. source: my dear old friend the Truth

delet this

It's still real to me damnit

Nothing is planned to that extent. They're told to play up for the cameras at most to sell them Wolf tickets. They're definitely not given explicit instructions

Did Dana tell you that?

r/conspiracy is that way

I grew up watching Michael Landsberg be one of the worst things about Canadian sports television, nice to see some recognition for his lack of substance. He tries so hard to get reactions out of people.

Hurting the poor guys feelings.

This is Conor reacting to Michael Landsberg asking if they staged the chair thing earlier today.

this guys always been the worst on tsn. aggravates a lot of his guests for no reason
2
Yeh all of his questions just try to stir shit up, like TMZ.
1
He did the same thing with CM Punk when he was announced to fight with the UFC https://youtu.be/-XP4ABRbCKM?t=11m54s
1
source?
3
The 'journalist' is from the Crowd Goes Wild here in New Zealand. But I assume its some sort of editing. I highly doubt they managed to get Eddie and Conor on there.
Edit: Actually im almost certain its just editing. I believe Conor is referring to the TSN guy. Whats his name....the one that always pisses people off. Theres that famous video of Chael leaving the interview.

Michael Landsberg from TSN. Giving us canadians a bad rep

Michael Landsberg from TSN. Giving us canadians humans a bad rep
FTFY

He's such a moron. Everyone still loves Canadians though, don't worry.
5
He's obnoxious and likes to prod for the sake of prodding and it grates my ears to hear him talk, but I actually quite liked that he called them out on the antics. To his credit, he won't shy away from that sort of thing.

His face when asking these dumb questions makes me cringe

Here's the full clip.
He's clearly referring to Landsberg (Melted head confirmed). But it's not an edited video. They were doing Interviews backstage with a few different studios. At this point they the studio hear them, but they can't hear the studio. They are talking among themselves and the Kiwi bloke is talking bollox to nobody.

Why do you post this. It's fake as fuck.

It's edited and spliced. Obviously

I'd feel honored if Conor calls me an ugly bum

It's edited you cantaloupe.

You really think it was staged? I don't think Conor was actually that pissed and was going to throw a chair or do anything, but I doubt it was staged. Conor just took the opportunity to look like he was pissed and get some more buys.

Conor is always late. Eddie looked legitimately pissed about Conor not being there and thats why he left. And taking the belt, of course he did, he did it to Aldo when he got the chance, if there's no one there he isn't going to leave it, that's Conor's schtick.
3
By staged, what do you mean? Do you mean it as they talked about it beforehand, or they each knew what they were gonna do already?

Man, he comes off as a scumbag.

This is an edited video. Conor was referring to Michael Landsberg from TSN, not this random fellow. Not sure who went through the trouble of editing this... Must be an inside joke for whoever watches thata Crowd Goes Wild show.
michael landsberg is hands down the worst canadian ever
dana should ban him from all ufc press conferences
I really dont know why he co tinues to get access. His shtick is just trying to piss people off.
[deleted]
I was surprised to see Michael at the press conference.. One of the most obnoxious sports personalities.. He makes skip Bayless seem likeable
Yeah he seems so full of himself
I think you are interpreting the clip incorrect here. He's clearly referring to Landsberg (Melted head confirmed). But it's not an edited video. They were doing media backstage, with a few shows. At the the studio their sound but they have a return audio.
Here's the full clip
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yCCQxM0Se7A
It seems that's the same way he interpreted it so you're both correct.
Only difference is that it's not an edited clip, the presenter just pretends it's a conversation. Like being the other half of a conversation when a person is on the phone to someone else.
do you have the original source?

Can you link the original interview?
