Conor McGregor's hour-long sit down interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson was released on Friday evening, with the controversial fighter taking aim at what he branded the 'ill intentions' of those in Government.

Carlson, a high-profile, right-wing American commentator who has previously interviewed Vladimir Putin, visited McGregor in his Dublin pub on Tuesday evening to discuss his plans to run for the presidency later this year.
