Good to see him training and having fun. That's the content fans want to see.
No Alcohol, No Drugs for 1yr Broda. Win his last 4 fights and retire a BILLIONAIRE.
Just perfect.
gay
They don't. His biggest numbers come from the craziness .
Conors a crotch sniffer now yeh
Fun is for the sunlings and the ziulings!
Conor actually has really good technique. That shoulder crunch butterfly sweep to arm bar was cool. Imma try that one
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 stop it dude this is trash nowhere near what a top tier mma fighter should be able to do... he has an elite striking level (to say the least), but this display is laughable
Do you even train bro ?
@@aliedil5415 He was able to stuff several takedowns from khabib and get on his feet. Something some guys in his division couldnt do at all.
@@nyteowl8069I remember that really impressed me alot! He is so underrated as a grappler, he stuffed alot of takedowns from arguably the best mma wrestler of all time, how can somone call mcgregor a bad grappler
Nah this was very impressive, I’ve actually always been kind of impressed with his ground and grappling overall especially for a dude coming from Ireland and stays there and only trains there, that sweep was gorgeous. He swept Nate Diaz too when Nate was in stack guard at the end of the first rd, gorgeous sweep I learned it from him and have pulled it off
What is coach said yesterday was really humbling. After he got the belts and the money it’s not like he got hooked on another sport like Golf, or real estate, or anything else. The man just loves to train and compete. I respect it.
He got hooked on coke
real estate is my favorite sport
Lol the guy did nothing but buy material stuff and party.
I HATE the Connolly Family!
@@genguise7782 hahaha
i dont care if my mans isnt even fighting at the moment.. im just glad to see him staying immersed in the sport and doing what he loves. will be patiently awaiting his return to the octagon.
never doubt the spirit of a warrior - jose aldo 2021 on mcgregors recent skid
If Conor does wrestle and grapple more, I feel it would improve his game and set up his striking.
He has good grappling, but like Gaethje, Henderson, etc. He uses it to keep the fight standing. Its simply underrated because of his backlash in losing to Khabib. But he did pretty well considering who he was up against
lol did we watch the same fight? he got absolutely ragdolled and smashed by khabib on the ground @@extraficalCO
too late, he shoulda done this 5 years ago
@@jackl7778 You're only proving my point🤷♂
The dude does coke and drinks alcahol regularly hes done for
I can’t take any of Conor’s clips serious cause his training partners seem to just be there to get their ass kicked.
this guy he is grappling is just level 1 training npc that will do nothing
Paid yes men
Yeah his training partners never seem to offer much resistance
That's not even in the BJJ but striking too. This is why he has fell so far behind the rest of the pack.
Obviously any of the men in the vid would kill me though especially Conor so I’m a bit out of turn saying this but I feel I’m correct in saying his training partners never really put up much of a fight especially in the striking department
his jiu-jitsu was always good, the only time he got submitted was while getting rocked or grinded and had nothing in the tank, also both losses was against high-level world-class grapplers.
How crazy would it be if at this point on his career, he became more of a grappler instead of just relying on his striking
jon jones shows when your older and heavier you cant really strike so yea! conor mcgregor can do a jon jones
@@mercydrive00Jon has a way higher fight IQ than mcnuggets, and has wrestled before even competing in the UFC, there’s no way Mcgregor can immitate jones
@@mercydrive00Bones was always a grappler
Dont know why this question exists he has to get condi to be able to strike 3 rounds, even better were 5.
He needs to know how to defend without getting to exhausted and he is in best shape
Change my mind
you dont learn grappling in just a couple of years. some grappers have been doing so since they were 5 years old. the game has passed mcgregor by
We need to cancel many blackbelts- Islam makhachev
He is 100% right. A black belt means nothing anymore. Especially with MMA fighters. They give them out like candy.
@@lukemurray4950they really don't , anyone who's ever done bjj know it's the complete opposite. They hold u back longer so you have more chance of winning and make the the gym look good. Why tf would they give a black belt to a brown belt, so then when he gets destroyed by another black belt it makes the trainers look poor?? Use your head
Easy to hate on McGregor but he did pretty decent wrestling
@@lukemurray4950 people dont just give out fucking black belts lmfao connor has trained in ju jitsu for 20 years nearly now there's a company who you enter and have to pass the black belt tests
@@onlyinthailand88 When has Conor ever competed in BJJ match or tournament? You are talking about actual BJJ practitioners, not popular MMA fighters who want to look good. Conor is far from the only one.
Good to see him back in action. Love Mallorca too 😎
we will see mcgregor spark out chandler in april 2024 so be tuned in
If Conor didn't fight Floyd and had become a more complete MMA fighter, he would have been virtually unstoppable. His striking was already world class and his capacity for fluid movement and his level of mind body connection would have made him a monster of a grappler.
He really downgraded hard after that pure boxing camp
Nope. Conor doesnt have gas tank for grappling
@@mmakeyboardwarrior4646I think it was more than one pure boxing camp that causes his decline lol
Yeah all that coke and steroids really helped him as well
The boxing pay was just too good to pass up, cant blame him for wanting 9 figures off one fight
I was wondering why my bins weren't cleared last week. I didn't realize my garbage man was helping Conor with his camp
Bro please get off the couch and run a few laps we all know you’re 300 pound virgin
Happy to see some fan support for the Mac :) very cool to see him grapple
Ppl forget how well rounded UFC fighters are. Even a striker like Conor would mess up most pplnin grappling
he aint messin up shit, he would get shanked and stomped
@@possiblyinsane6995 what r u on about?
A lot of MMA fans don't realize that many ufc fighters are actually decent in jujitsu. It's just harder to get your techniques right when you're fighting for real with your opponent throwing to take your head off and the crowd shouting.
“I only count knockouts”
0:20
tries to sink his choke under the neck before getting his hooks in
pretty rookie move
its ok to fail, but at least fail in the correct order that gives you the best chances
Conor's ground game is actually very good and he's strong. His problem is gasing quick
same with his standing game hahaha
Very good according to what ??? This 30 second video ???
@@d_rod3lasted longer in the cage with Khabib than Gaethje and Poirier
@d_rod96
Uh you do knows he's a black belt under John Kavanagh and has been competing in BJJ for years? Stupid casual.
@@d_rod3 he does have good technique. You can see it in the Holloway, Siver (Beautiful passing to mount, methodical and tight). He hits an interesting sweep on Diaz in their fight also.
That arm bar was squeaky clean
McGregor has always been a phenomenal grappler. He gave khabib his hardest fight in grappling. Just buy defending. Josh Thompson even said the same thing.
Are you praising Conor for Losing against Khabib, Khabib mauled him there is no comparison, he defended a take down but immediately got taken down and mauled. 💀
@@h4b2_k66 he is still right tho mcgregor had amazing grappling and defense he just has a habit of giving up the neck lol
@@Vorbhe seemed like he gave up his neck deliberately in that fight. That whole thing was sad.
@@Vorb even if he didnt give up the neck, conor was getting smoked, lets not try making conors small techniques that didnt succeed into wins 💀 its petty, he got domoniated. Looked like a victim that got attacked by a bear.
@@h4b2_k66 Who doesn't get mauled by Khabib though?
u can tell he just loves and appreciates the game so much
Honestly people say he's really big but he really isn't rn. He's prolly like 190 or 195 here. He could prolly get down to 155 with a good camp. Do I think he will NO.
He’s maybe low 180s here
pure strentgh from shoulder crunch to arm bar. Impressive
impressive? why couldnt he do it to dustin, or khabib lol
@@possiblyinsane6995maybe bc he wasn’t as active in Jujitsu as he is now?
Also this isn’t saying he’s an elite grappler now who could do this on a ufc level
That's Blackbelt Skill 👊🏻
Blackbelt from Walmart.
@@bdlytics9356He's not as broke as you
@@Electrifize Guess I struck a nerve lol.
yea u set ur self up real well and struck ur own nerve with that one ur lunch break is over go to work boy@@bdlytics9356
I loved that should control into mount, that was fucking class.
real men are mma fighters logan is coping about his staged victory over me atm but lets see his talent in a real fight (not in wwe)
that shoulder crunch butterfly reversal was the very first thing I drilled at my first jiu jitsu class over the summer kinda wild seein him do that
Funny. It was also the first thing Conor drilled. Legend says it's the only move he knows.
Arm bars are some of my favorite submissions to see and it’s a shame we don’t see them that often
The days of guys getting caught in armbars for UFC men's division is long over. Even women are getting caught much less now. Its a great move against noobs.
Because it requires giving up a dominant position most times, which is an absolute no no at high levels or if you aren’t 100% about getting the finish.
most mma guys are too afraid to lose position and get stuck in a mindset that they cant scramble.
i think its easier get armbar in mma than no gi off spiderwrap /some1 defending it if you can get there cause u can land nasty strikes but its also u get attacked badly if u lose it obviously i think fighters dont scramble enough which requires more energy than just standing in guard and being lazy, better to use energy and scramble than eat elbows and bombs.@@ProudFilthyCasual
people say anderson is goat but discredit ronda cause she lost multiple times fact is she was cleaning house and pulling off a considerably rare submission in mma BACK TO BACK@@ProudFilthyCasual
As a white belt, i am confused why his training partner would turn his back to Conor from side control. And then he brakes his posture to get bodylock pass, but Conor somehow gets underhook?
Conor’s grappling looks pretty slick though
His training partner looks low level, instead of shrimping and turning back in he gave up his back, could have jusy been tired or gassed though. He should have also given up the body lock and tried to dig back an under hook because he could have posted when Connor swept him.
Black belts literally mean nothing just like on Karate and other martial arts. But specially with MMA fighters. They give them out like candy.
Semi true. Some did receive their black belts very quick, perhaps too quick.
However, conor, in particular, has been practicing BJJ for over 12 years.
I don't know about others but the skill of some practicioners is polarizing to some degree. Then, some outshine others completely. Do Bronx is a top tier BJJ practicioner and muay thai striker but cannot match his skills with a top tier wrestling striker in Islam.
With that being said, I am still waiting for Tsarukyan vs Islam. That fight will be fucking fireworks as they are both insanely high level wrestling strikers. Slowly but surely it will happen unless ufc has other plans.
You are casual AF 😂 BJJ black belts are legit, but you wouldn't know because you don't even train 😂
@@Lemaforthewinvery true. Arman and Islam have fought before but arman was only 22 at that time. No doubt he has gotten so much better since then.
Dudes leg was off! Im super impressed with his spirit and dedication. Good job brother
Looks like instead of Conor tapping he'll be the one to make his opponents tab, lol. Conor looking good I must say
Look he’s sober he’s training summer 2024 we could see him back who knows time will tell
summer 2024 he'll be 36. and that's a post injury 36.
Keep dreaming. His face says it all. Bloated from all the steroids. He can't enter the USADA pool before 6 months where he'll have to stay for another 6 months. Any top 5 in any weight class will have a field day with him.
Besides his gas tank was already shit. With all the party, drug abuse, steroids and aging, he will never be able to fight 5 rounds.
Who give him black belt, we have to check that moment
'who gave you an excuse to hate on someone doing better than you in life, we have to check the moment where your father left you for milk' - islam makachev 2013
Black belt? Who give him? We need to check that moment
If you think there are no blackbelts underneath Kavanagh you are sick in the brain.
I was expecting someone to say this in comments
Yes please why don't you go be the idiot that tests out if he's legitimate a black belt.
Man you can't say that McGregor would butcher you with grappling or striking easily
@@CapriaMusic Most of the top 5 in any weight class will butcher him if he decides to come back.
love to see him truly smiling!
WOW! He got an armbar! In training!!!!!!!!!
How many have you gotten… zero!
Because you’ve never done anything 😂
Isn’t he f*cking awesome
They got the jam playing
The shoulder crunch went the wrong direction (unless his training partner off-balanced himself to the opposite direction), but overall looks very good. He has always displayed solid grappling, especially in his matches with Holloway and Siver
Could it be because the wall was too close
I thought I was the only one to notice. You normally sweep to the side of the shoulder crunch as you take away your opponent's ability to post
@@lukasz3912 it seems that, in this case, his training partner removed his own post due to his body lock pass attempt, thus not being able to base and making himself easier to sweep in the "wrong" direction
You can sweep both ways with it because the shoulder pressure removes the ability to post with either arm.
@@LeighRemedios there seems to be no shoulder pressure here applied or am I missing something?
Nasty back take and sick sweep
Ngl, i actually can't wait to see him fight....because this is it...his last chance imo....last chance for a big comeback...fight like you used to, not like a flat footed boxer...utilize those kicks u did so well, that takedown defense you stuffed khabib with a couple times( yes he did stuff a few takedowns,not all obviously but was able to against the king of takedowns)and that precision striking....if he loses well then id say ur days are done...but i dont think hes gonna lose...i think he realizes he has to become an MMA fighter again...
ngl, this comment...so on point...indeed....conor can make this comeback...for sure
Imagine Conor’s goes out there and controls chandlers on the ground for 15 mins 😂😂😂
hes a better grappler dont be surpised, chandler just slams his opponents (to look cool i guess) but never uses his wrestling ability to win matches i like him tho hes entertaining unlike logans victory over me in our staged boxing match last saturday
Its impossible
if connor gets his takedown defence and grappling to a decent level he can be really dangerous even for champion level fighters.
this content is what a McGregor fan dreams off, good job theMacLife team!
This wasnt grappling for real. Bro was practicing a technique
*Khabib:* Please, brother. You call this an armbar?
Great to see Conors window cleaner taking time out of his busy schedule to help him practice 👊
Probably the guy who gave him the black belt lol
Bro when you’re so bad at grappling that it hits the news when you manage to get an armbar in training 😅
everything Conor does is news... whether its jiu jutsu or cooking
Not only hits the news, but he puts it out on his news channel 🤣 "look everyone, I don't have zero grappling like my Daddy Khabib said, I am good I promise" 🤣☠️
@@SeanStricklandvswomensmma and grass is green, next
Aw you don't understand that Conor would tap you in 10 seconds. That's adorable.
@@bettybunbun9664 im 220 lbs and national bjj and 2 time sambo champion, I would looooveeee to see that happen
I love how people in the comments are suprised that conor is good at jiu-jitsu, i mean his groundgame might not be islam/kamaru/khabib level but he is still a fucking black belt lol he knows how to grapple lmao
I would love for Conor to showcase more of his grappling. He's underrated for a multitude of reasons and the best way to shut up haters is to prove them wrong infront of the world.
🐔🐔
He will tapped like a bitch he was when khabib choke him 😂😂😂
Who gave black belt?
Stick to DBZ, this stuff is too high level for you
"Congrats on the Brown Belt!".. your pal, "BLACK BELT!" ~ Conor McGregor to Khamzat Chimaev 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
pretty sure his partners are just gonna let him look good on the mat
It’s weird watching mcgregor do ground game and submissions
If i was connor i would be going bjj and wrestling hard
If I was the pope I'd take a shit at the gate of Buckingham Palace.
Only knockouts count as wins
-Conor Mcgregor
So you expect him to ko someone while training? 🤡?
Tbf, he said that so poirier wouldn't think he'd try a standing guillotine
Learning from mistakes... Why do you think he went for black belt?
Well of course with a bunch of YESMEN 😂
Lmao this looked so amateurish 🤣😭
It’s a butterfly position to be able to roll into the arm bar when he spins his body. Looks “sloppy” but that’s the proper technique so you don’t lose the position and your opponent can escape.
It was actually a beautiful technique, you donr train bjj I can tell, if yiu did you 100% woukd agree
@@charizard6969 Im literally a bjj black belt 💀
@@light-qe3gv no you aren't. You don't have a black belt mentality. Keep working.
@@charizard6969 I wish my s-mount transitions were that smooth.
“Who give him brother? - we have to check this one”
You would think a black belt in BJJ would be capable of getting at least 1 submission in UFC
He earned his 1st belt by submission in cage warriors 😊
You would think anyone who's not less than a casual would know that once you get to such a high level of grappling, unless you are exponentially more skilled than the other opponent (not accounting for factors such as fatigue in the fight, damage taken etc), grappling usually cancels itself out. It's the reason why wrestlers don't shoot on each other (ie: Usman and Covington).
Edit: Also, this is Mcgregor's Last couple opponents. Dustin Poirier: Skilled black belt. Donald Cerrone: Skilled black belt. Khabib: Incredible wrestler. Eddie Alvarez: who cares. Nate Diaz: Skilled black belt. Jose Aldo: Skilled black belt - but fight ended very quickly so we'll never know. Please tell me why a purple/brown belt at the time would go to the ground with any of these opponents other than Eddie Alvarez 😂 such a casual.
Same reason Micheal Phelps doesn't challenge Usain bolt to a foot race.
Nate: "oh, you are a Jiu Jitsu guy now"
Na looks good. I feel like Conor likes doing JJ since his injury, because it isnt a stressful on his leg.
Conor has been doing BJJ for the last 20 years... There's also recent footage of him hitting pads.
@@user-nk3re4dj5h I know, I mean he probably likes to do it more since his injury. He just got his black belt after his injury, so he probably likes it more than before now.
Unless he gets leg locked.
he is the greatest boxer and jiu jitsu practioner of our generation
😂
That was a very nice clean technical armbar. I think Connor has always had solid Jits but his weak takedown ability and purely defensive bottom game in the octagon stop it from showing. I know he outgrappled Max back when he was greener but that didnt mean much. Max isn't real strong and and he only started developing his takedown defense after that fight as a response to it.
His black belt is nothing more than an honory belt for what he contributed to his team. If other teachers and mentors who are not his friends were given the position to assess his skills and determine whether he is fit for the rank or not, he wouldn't be near in the skill level of belt.
Couldn't agree more. I think Firas Zahabi explained it that Conor is roughly high level purple, or low level brown. He isn't anywhere near black belt
U joker
@@ps9501 Firas Zahabi says a lot of things, have yet to see him compete against any black belt worth their salt (or any competition video for that matter) in any reputable BJJ organization. So I'm unsure how he can judge McGregor's skill level without 1) never having rolled with him and 2) never having competed against him.
explain your reason of thinking that hes last fight was 2 years ago and even then i dont think hes showed ground game since khabib
@@user-nk3re4dj5h Gordon Ryan coach, John Danaher do not have ANY bjj medals and he is talked to be literally best BJJ coach on the planet. So your argument is extremely flawed
Giving him the ol’ eye rake into RNC at the beginning.
His ground skills have always been underrated. But there's no way he's black belt level now 😂
you have no idea how high level ufc fighters grappling is
wut do you know troll ? keep your mouth shut if you ain’t a fighter
Bro there’s many amateur fighters that are purple belts 🤣🤣🤣. Even most low level pros are at least blue belt as a very minimum and would roll you into a pretzl. Do you even train at an mma gym ? This would be basic knowledge if u did :/
There’s levels to it I don’t doubt he’s a black belt but he ain’t a black belt like Charles Oliveira or something like that
Calm down mate, black belts aren't some mystical unbeatable gods... It's just a black belt, you generally reach it within 6 to 12 years of consistent training. Black belts come in all different ages and levels.
All I see is hate on Facebook videos of Conor, I come back to TH-cam and it’s all respect, f the haters
Jiu-jitsu is for guys who like to get sweaty and close with other guys 🏳️🌈
I'm just trying to get at least a blue belt, mainly for street defense in case of a grappling scenario against people who don't like me or my opinions
Fr man cuz thts truly the one thing tht stopped me from doing it. Boxed whole life went to mma gym was wrestling pretty good but something about just being so hugged up w a sweaty mother fcker jus annoyed me way to much 😂
@@EveryoneDiesAnyway You sure it wasn't because that 140lb teenage orange belt that worked you over?
Looks like he was trying a fulcrum choke at the start there - same choke that Khabib did in their fight.
still doesn't matter 1 win in 8 years says enuf
He beat Cerrone in 2020
Edit: Your stats are way off lol
@@chipsammich2078cerrone is the only win
@@chipsammich2078 His stats are way off? not that much buddy, Conor had 1 win in 2020 and then another win 2016.
He fought only 4 times 😂 you’d have done less if you had that much money
@@ps9501 8 years ago was 2015.. Hes had 6 wins since then..
???
Your stats are off my friend sorry to say
giving conor a black belt is wild. dudes BJJ is purple belt MAX
As if he would let anyone get him in a arm bar on camera… 😂
Conor would punch the dude in the face he was rolling with before he’d let that happen 🥊
I think no one does 🙄
that gym facility is insane
No way he got a black belt🤣🤣 . That dude wasn't even trying to choke conor man 😂. In Khabib's words this is no.1 bullshit.
He has been doing BJJ for 20 years... Why shouldn't he have a black belt by now?
@@user-nk3re4dj5h because his ground fight is shit 🤣🤣
that was smooth af
I just met conor in Dubai . He was training in UFC Gym . The guy looked huge .
Good to see Till stood taking notes
bro conor is the best i love his style he a pioneer bruz cant wait to see you win the title back luv from sydney bruz 27 all dae stay vaccinated team
별 관심 없었는데 또 훈련 하는 거 보니까 좋네..컴백해세 볼카 마카 찰올 다 이겨주길
Telling you Conor is in fact the King of Brazil with JiuJitsu like that
We Brazilians do NOT claim him
That was actually really nice
He knows he's gonna have to dedicate his time to train on the ground knowing he might fight Khabib 2.0 Aka Islam!
He likes the wrist control and mermaid-feet technique
It’s the pressure wrestling that’s a problem for mma guys bjj they all have a good relationship with, then you throw the Russian grappling in an the bjj becomes less important, but Conor always had that ground game ,
Russian grappling only plays into the hands of bjj
People need to realise the difference between a ufc bjj black belt then your natural gym black belt mcgregor is definitely a gym black belt
That armbar was pure John Kavanagh haha
CONNER LOOKS GOOD
good to see him having fun, but kind of disappointing on how little resistance they guy could give him. legit just gave up the neck and arm.
that's the issue, it always looks like he just gave the submission and he never really worked for it on this channel, and you can see how giving the subs translates to fights vs giving actual resistance for submissions and positions.
thats clean high level technique
Looks like a 4 stripe white belt
Imagine Conor beats Chandler by submission
This kid always reminds me of Helio Gracie.
Looks more like Kron Gracie.
Nice to see conor roling again! Point of criticism to his technique: He sweeps the shoulder crunch to the wrong side and gives up armbar top position for no reason. But hey, happy for the man he's rolling and enjoying himself!
Watch the shoulder crunch again. His partner went to a bodylock and Connor rolled their weight onto the hand trapping it allowing for the sweep in the "wrong" direction.
Ehh... His training partners are probably told to make Conor look good no matter what.
Lineage: Carlos Gracie > Helio Gracie > Carlos Gracie Jr > Rigan Machado > Chris Haueter > Matt Thornton > John Kavanaugh > Conor McGregor 🥋

All black belts are not created equal MMA grappling is superior to regular jujitsu.
