My Hunt for the Conor McGregor “Who is That Guy?” GIF
Alright, let me tell you about this little adventure I had the other day. I was scrolling through something online, can’t even remember what, maybe some forum or social media feed, and someone dropped this perfect reaction. It was that Conor McGregor GIF, you know the one, where he’s looking all puzzled, pointing, like “Who the fook is that guy?”. It just hit the spot for the conversation.
So, I thought, I need that GIF. Simple enough, right? First thing I did was just pop open a search engine. Typed in something basic like “conor mcgregor who is that guy gif”. Got a bunch of results, yeah, but some were kinda low quality, grainy, you know how it is. Some were cut weirdly.
Okay, attempt one wasn’t perfect. I needed the good version. So, I tried refining it.
- Added “press conference” because I figured it was from one of those fiery pre-fight things.
- Tried “McGregor pointing confused gif”.
- Even went directly to a couple of those big GIF websites and searched there.
Got closer. Found a few better ones. But then I started thinking, where did this actually come from? Like, what was the real moment? Sometimes the context makes the meme even better.
Down the rabbit hole I went. Started searching for videos. “McGregor press conference funny moments”, “McGregor vs Alvarez press conference” (I had a hunch it was around that time). Watched a few clips. Man, that guy knows how to work a crowd, gotta give him that. He said something once, like “Success is never final; I’ll just keep on going.” You see that attitude in those press events, even when he’s just goofing or being aggressive.
Finally, bingo! Found the actual press conference footage. There it was. Jeremy Stephens tries to chime in, saying he’s the real hard-hitter, and Conor just turns, genuinely looks confused for a second, and delivers the line. The crowd went wild. Seeing the whole sequence was way better than just the isolated GIF.
It’s funny how these moments stick. It reminds me a bit of what he mentioned about being young, facing situations where people would say stuff. That look on his face in the GIF, that “who are you?” vibe, it’s almost like that reaction you have when someone comes out of nowhere challenging you. It’s pure meme gold because it’s so raw and dismissive.
So, I grabbed a high-quality version of the GIF from the video clip this time. Saved it. Job done. It’s just wild how a split-second reaction from years ago becomes this universal internet language for being utterly unimpressed or dismissive. He’s always been outspoken, hasn’t he? Even recently stirring things up about politics back home. That persona fuels these memes, I guess. Anyway, that was my little quest for the perfect “who is that guy?” GIF. Found it, logged the memory.
