5 of the funniest Conor McGregor interviews

#4. Conor McGregor at the UFC 246 pre-fight media scrum

UFC 246 marked Conor McGregor's return to the octagon following a two-year layoff from the sport. The hiatus was prompted by his loss at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov. At the 2020 pay-per-view, McGregor entered the octagon with Donald Cerrone in a welterweight main event.

During a pre-fight interaction with the media, McGregor was asked a question by a reporter that left him in stitches. The journalist claimed that Donald Cerrone and his wife were going to celebrate his performance with the "red panties." McGregor subsequently broke into a hearty laugh. Here's what he said when he was asked how he would celebrate his performance:

"I have abstained from my Proper Twelve Whiskey for a good while now, it has been five or six months it must be at this stage. I'll have a good night and get a few sips and then spend the next day with my family and my kids and then get back into training. Red panties every night for me! Even if I'm not fighting."

#3. Conor McGregor trashes Nate Diaz in an interview with CNBC

Ahead of his fight against Nate Diaz at UFC 196, Conor McGregor and Diaz featured in an interview with CNBC's Jane Wells. The trio talked about all things money and the UFC. Unsurprisingly, though, both fighters managed to get in a couple of good quips about each other.

Conor McGregor, for one, went for the Stockton native right off the bat. When Wells revealed that they were going to get into the financial side of things, McGregor let out a laugh and laid into Diaz, saying:

"Ooooh. I'll take over from here Nate. You can bounce. Take a coffee break Nate, and by coffee break I mean bring me my coffee."

Subsequently, when the fighters were asked to count to 10 for an audio level, McGregor quipped that Nate could only count to five. Nate Diaz walked out of the interview soon after, only adding to the hilarious exchange.
