Adam is such a good interviewer. With so many interviewers it seems like it's them versus the interviewee, whereas Adam makes it seem like a collaboration, and a friendly one at that

John's completely right in that if the top of the 155 division have a tournament they all have wars with each other but when Conor's in there facing them it becomes a quick, fast fight for him.

Don't worry. The UFC has been rigging fights for him for years, so look for them to recycle their original game plan with Connor... lots of spectacular 1st round finishes to rebuild his brand. Nate, Khabib, and Mayweather were the only ones to refuse to take a dive. Dustin will follow Cowboy's que and take another dive for the sake of the Connor Hype Train 2.0

Could listen to john chat for hrs on end.

Very few nowadays are interested in fans,john is the complete opposite
I hope the BT sport MMA guys are getting a pay rise for this last year's efforts.

I really like this man, he's very analytical and doesn't get carried away one way or the other. I can really relate to that mindset/personality trait.

I think Diaz 2 was the biggest fight of Conor's career. Even if he lost he would still be the 145 champ, but that was a make or break fight. He's either as good as he said he was, or he wasn't. It was well hell of a fight. It's crazy to me to think that fight was 4 years ago.
We know how great Conor is, so how phenomenal does that make John. UFC 257 McGregor by KO in 35 seconds.
