And then the third, I have to be honest, it was my first training [session] after my [last] fight so I gassed a little bit. He\u2019s like, \u2018come on man, let\u2019s go, one more, one more,\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen he wanted championship rounds, so then we rolled for five five-minute rounds. He liked it a lot. We exchanged experience, I showed him some tricks. [I] just left my door open for him, whenever he wants to come, he is going to be welcomed. He changed what I thought about him \u2014 super nice guy, so respectful, I only have good things to tell about him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being as large of a superstar that McGregor has become, rumors of all sorts are always going to find their ways around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carneiro found that out first hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI saw he posted a picture on his social media,&#8221; Carneiro said. &#8220;I\u2019m like, &#8216;wow,&#8217; My Instagram, all social media, Twitter&#8230; Everything went crazy. [We&#8217;re] talking about calls, people were calling me. Then the rumors. &#8216;Oh, he\u2019s going to be the next head coach,&#8217; This is fake news. He might like the training, I\u2019m sure he liked it, but we didn\u2019t have any conversations about me being his trainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe might [return] in the future, I leave the door open. If he wants my help, I definitely want to help him. To be honest, it will be an accomplishment if I\u2019m able to make him beat the guy who beat him. That makes me go, &#8216;wow,&#8217; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t care about his money,&#8221; Carneiro continued. &#8220;I don\u2019t care about him being Conor McGregor. I don\u2019t give a damn about it. My final goal is <g class=\"gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"8\" data-gr-id=\"8\">the victory<\/g>. Bringing some guys from their adversity to conquer the results. That\u2019s my philosophy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the 40-year old Carneiro, his last fight came on January 28 at ACB 91 when he suffered a split decision loss to Husein Kushagov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McGregor, on the other hand, will be <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/conor-mcgregor-receives-punishment-at-nac-hearing\/\">eligible to return to action in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\"><em>BJPenn.com<\/em><\/a><em> on 2\/7\/2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While in town for the Super Bowl this past Sunday, former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor paid a visit to American Top Team&#8217;s Atlanta, Georgia facility.
