Bro it’s the same with me and Jon Jones, he just keeps loosing and coming back loosing and coming back it’s incredible his ability to recover from al l
I disagree I think the one who keeps wining is the point of the game. If I were given a choice of only wining or losing and coming would definitely be winning all the time.
mohammed almani it’s a grey area for me, obviously if you could win everything then that’s the peak, but at least Conor wins when he comes back after a loss, once her or anyone else loses after the comeback and starts to lose more than they win that’s when it’s like eeeehhh 👀
They are literally the fighting Irish. Conor has single handedly enhanced Irish pride ten-fold globally. In America, where the Irish are prominent and have immense history, it shows. Irish pride is unlike any other. And Conor embodies large parts of their pride such is fighting, drinking, partying, talking shit -- all while being the best at his profession.
Conor didn't enhance Irish pride. Irish pride has always been and will always be massive and eternal. Irish people weren't less proud before Conor nor will they be after he retires. Didn't increase anything tenfold, he just became a MMA fighter to rally around for the Irish, so he sort of became a conduit of already existing Irish pride.
@@TheTaterTotP80 To say he hasnt increased their pride is you cumming in my coffee and calling it creamora. Just by an Irish man breaking records and inspiring Irish kids on such a global level enhances Irish pride. Of course the Irish were always prideful. But Conor has brought this mystical Irish takeover quality. He has Irish people uniting to embrace their culture in arenas and cities they nornally wouldnt have. He is to Ireland what Trump is to a conservative. A voice, a shining beacon and a representative of millions.
Keith Witt what do you mean he didn't mean anything? He is insinuating that connors conquer of the UFC resonates in the Irish people as their want to conquer the powers that oppressed them; Conquering anything at this point that gives their country validity in a global scale
coco nut You do understand that 4 million Irish people died/left the country during the famine because the British took our crops? We were fucked under British ruling. Best thing we ever did was to become independent.
I understand that Russel probably didn't mean to use the word 'myth' to imply that the English oppression of Ireland is fictional , but I want to point out to those who mightn't know that Ireland was savaging ruled by the English for hundreds of years and that is still extremely fresh in the minds of many Irish people , including myself
True but we have to Remember we invaded them first when they were still Saxons and even took over small parts like Wales and even parts of Scotland while the picts were still there Uk and Ireland both have their faults these past 800 or so years England was just much more cruel
That's not what he meant by myth. He meant "myth" as in legendary, mythical qualities. Conor personifies the spirit of the "Fighting Irish", and that image takes the form of an Irishman "standing up" to British oppression.
The Irish, we follow our own blood. Similar to how the Icelandic folk follow and support their own. We'll travel in droves to see a fellow Irish man fight, compete whatever the case may be. I'm not a huge Russel Brand fan but he's almost certainly correct about our psyche of being oppressed. A psyche where we've always felt we were the underdog. He's bang on the money when he mentioned conor capturing a particular mood in our country during his rise. We had experienced the hardest recession in human history. I remember most of my mates father's being made redundant and other friends losing homes from 2007 right through to 2013. Even two lads from my school lost their dads to suicide things got so bad. Conor was another lad from a lower middle class family chasing a dream during this time. We saw our own push for greatness and we were subsequently uplifted by his performances. I had always been an Iceman fan and finally took up mma when I saw Conor perform in cage warriors having played rugby since I was 6 years old. He grew up a 2-3 miles from where I live so to me he was just another lad from around the corner but with an exceptional story to be told. People who write malicious or hateful things on the Internet about Conor ultimately are the minority. The millions of views he gets across all social media platforms outweighs the spiteful nonsense that goes on behind the big picture. He couldn't care less what you say about him as long as you're talking about him. Undoubtedly he's a polarising figure. Last year I started watching the NBA and I saw the same trend around LeBron James and Stephen Curry. You can see it on gaming channels as well. I'm no psychologist so I'm not going to breakdown why people hate Conor but they are no different to the rest of the haters in other sports/disciplines, more people are inspired by him than those who wish to bash his character and that's just a fact and you aren't 'woke' if you believe otherwise. You're entitled to discredit his achievements but you're just a drop in the ocean.
Hey Russell ''the myth of the Irish people as being oppressed by British colonialism'' is not a myth, it was a fact for 800 years and its still not over. Where's that cork when you need it.
if the majority of northern ireland wanted to join the republic a democratic vote would be held and they would be allowed to but the majority dont and the majority of the south dont want the responsibility of the north either but keep being a professional victim well done!

Myth has two meanings and the context of this was that Russell did not mean Irish oppression was a falsehood, but that it resonates in us like a legend, or it's part of our lore.
brownsey1 I dunno man, it's a dangerous thing to say, that the oppression was a falsehood, it's hard to digest as an Irish man, especially when they'res still Orange Men marching up in the North.
Robert Gray we’re not blaming you, or your son but you have to understand and learn about Britain’s crimes , not just against us Irish, but a good amount of countries in Africa Asia and South America. Especially when we’ve still got orange men celebrating catholic slaughters up north.
Conor loses 2 fights, one wasn't even a mma fight. and he gets all this hate, I don't understand it, those loses shouldn't overshadow all of his greatness, because he has done great things and you cannot deny it, Conor will just jump back up and keep fighting
Off the top of my memory, Conor has something like 4 loses. 1 joe duffy 1 nate diaz 1 floyd mayweather 1 khabib nurmagomedov Still one of the absolute greatest fighters the UFC has known. The details are in the stat numbers.
Joe Rogan mentioned the captivity that mcgregor bestowed upon not only people around the world but his people. I remember watching these events play out years ago and Mcgregor truly was a somewhat of patriarch figure for the Irish people for those 4 years I mean it was truly unbelievable and breathtaking.
It's so cool how celebrities look up to McGregor, he is truly their celebrity, they line up at locker room after a loss , just to meet him , fucking amazing
Conor is such a bad ass fighter but What russell says at the very end people will never be able to comprehend and will just move past it without truly thinking about it but it is absolutely masterful how he puts all that into perspective and the way he's able to speak about it I couldn't put it into words like he just did I really believe if we lived in a world like he just explained some very magical things would happen
I love Russel Brand but it was no myth. Oppressed and nearly genocidly wiped out in the Famine . There was still food in Ireland but was forced to be exported by Britain.
Floyds greatness shone brighter...he was 40yrs old, only trained around three weeks cos he injured his hands and couldn't spar for a month b4 the fight, he was retired 2 yrs inactive, and taking on a guy 170 pounds on the day, 20 pounds heavier than him, taller and longer guy who was 11 yrs younger in his prime, and supposed to be this ufc KO artists.....Floyd toyed with him. Conor did well in round 1 but he hardly had Floyd in any danger. People watching rd 2 and 3 more closely can see it wasn't close and in fact Floyd won those rds too
Hmmm...I understand McGregor is being fast tracked and hyped by the UFC. But having watched his old fights I do think people are being too quick to label him as overrrated. If he still had the same ability, but was not a global star, I think everyone would have more appreciation for his skills.
How is everyone misunderstanding his use of the word "myth" so much in these comments? He used the same word talking about Mcgregor: do people think he implied Conor Mcgregor isn't real? He was talking about how Ireland can be romanticised and idealised and that oppression is a significant part of it.
The answer is a quot from the gladiator movie. "I wasnt the best because I killed quickly, I was the best because the crowd loved me". Conor is the best coz the crowd loves him. Plus the dominant way he beats his opponents. He has NEVER had a boring fight. Win, lose or draw
Home boy should have more substance for how many words are pouring out of his mouth. Reminds me of those guys who are waiting for you to finish so they can talk some more.
That's not what he meant by myth. He meant "myth" as in legendary, mythical qualities. Conor personifies the spirit of the "Fighting Irish", and that image takes the form of an Irishman "standing up" to British oppression.
He is a bit of a unicorn after all lol got finished by Nate Diaz and Floyd Mayweather maybe when they talk about his greatness they are referring to his ability to talk rather than his fighting ability and cardio
Thank You Its easy to forget he had a 15 fight win streak before Nate finished him. His fighting skill is unquestionable. He just got gassed with Mayweather and Diaz
The "walk" is all about achieving a state of relaxation. It's not about peacocking or anything like that. It's getting your body ready to be explosive. Smooth is FAST!
I’m not the most intelligent person but I can follow Russels dialogue. He has a large vocabulary, which as a hiphop fan is always amazing and keeps your brain active
That walk that Conor does where he throws his arms back is not just to stay loose its the principle to his kinetic chain and he's just firing it up before the fight letting his body know its go time. Anyone that understands this knows the true essence of martial arts.
He said himself that he saw a cartoon character walking in that way AFTER winning a fight, and he thought it just looked badass, with which I agree. You're looking so deep that you don't recognize the surface.
Irish America even more so than Ireland has been huge to mcgregors success .. the guts of 40 million people who have been waiting for an Irishman to come along in combat sports for a long time .. the fighting Irish and all that
That's not what he meant by myth. He meant "myth" as in legendary, mythical qualities. Conor personifies the spirit of the "Fighting Irish", and that image takes the form of an Irishman "standing up" to British oppression.
Would love to see an update 2022 podcast with you and Russel I feel like you both are on the same level these days on how you think and believe and could be very interesting for everything currently going on. Even if it’s you on his show or him on yours would love to see it.
Mcgregory didn't win shit against mayweather. Mayweather let him tire himself before beating him. The man was 40 years old, retired, barely trained for the fight. It was a circus money fight. Mayweather was going 50%. Imagine a 29 year old mayweather going 100%.
Jesus D Mac that is a fucking stupid comment, worse than the one above! Bhaagul I reckon that a guy that retired 2 years ago is far more capable of competing at something than a guy who retired from the same thing 15 years ago! There is not one fighter in mma that would beat floyd in a boxing match and theres isnt one mma fighter tha woukd lose an mma match to him he'd make cm punk look good in an mma fight!
What Conor did for UFC is unparalleled and people should respect that. He will become a billionaire in coming years but what's most important is he was the greatest fight entertainer ever lived.
Conor McGregor - ( In UFC 9-1, 7 KO's, 2 Dec), Defeated every man in he ever faced in UFC. Became 2 Div's Champion in UFC defeating the likes of Eddie Alvarez, Jose Aldo, Max Holloway, Nate Diaz, Chad Mendes. Faced the Boxing GOAT and went 10 rounds with him in 1st pro fight. He brought in more eyes to our sport = more money for our fighters. His fights are always entertaining win or lose. He is a huge Inspiration for people all around the world.
No explanation. Allow me to retort. He didn't make money through traditional capitalistic means, but rather through his skill as a storyteller. This is a rarity, virtually no one else with the possible exception of other very successful stand-up comedians or authors have made vast sums of money through storytelling. Storytelling would be popular no matter what system of government we live under, capitalist or socialist - actually probably more so under a socialist system because the arts would be more valued. Was Russel Brand born into wealth? no. Did he get it through occupations linked to capitalism? no. Has he spoken out against having more money than he needs and politically tried to change the system unlike other rich people? yes. Has he used his time to help the underprivileged? yes. Has he used his money to help the underprivileged? unclear, but definitely partly.
taylor kxng as a pure boxer he wasn't.. but he transcended boxing and that's what makes him amazing. Athletes who transcend their sport make them goat contenders
Fucking Nate Diaz...the man is not relevant any more! It would definitely not be the biggest fight ever in the UFC. IF Nate would've fought after their last fight with Conor and won some real contenders, it would probably be the biggest fight and would also make sense. Now it doesn't make any sense because we have legit guys in line waiting like Lee, Ferguson and Khalabeeb.
Lost to Diaz in the first, controversial decision in their rematch and lost to Mayweather in a technical knockout. People speak about Conor as if he's god-tier. It's borderline embarrassing at this point.
Ruthless there was nothing controversial about his win against diaz. 1, 2 and 4 he clearly won. You should watch this fight again without rogan Hype commentary. ✌🏻
Ruthless You basically just highlighted his career lowlights and asked why people think he’s god tier. Why didn’t you mention him knocking Aldo out in 13 seconds? Or him crushing the featherweight division? Or his amazing predictions? Or his a1 trash talk? Or his amazing TKO with Eddie? All that goes out the window with you because he lost 1 time recently and got beat in an entirely different sport? What a childish and blind hater like way of looking at things.
Lawrance Combs i agree with you for the Most part but why you mention woodley? With that logic DJ has to fight holloway to be considered one of the goats. Btw i think it's actually a good matchup for conor. Woodley has a low output and cant handle pressure very good.
Kevin Snow I actually liked Conor when he dominated the featherweight division. As far as his trash talk, it's gotten stale lately. Eddie Alvarez isn't exactly an elite fighter. Diaz, not even a top ten guy schooled Conor twice. In the Diaz rematch, it shouldn't have gone be full twenty five minutes, he needed to make Diaz quit.
I believe when he said "myth" he didn't mean it didn't happen...He meant it adds to the mysticism...I think we all know what he meant but the comment section got a little touchie...
A trilogy between McGregor and Diaz is old news. I watched the first two fights but I wouldn’t necessarily pay to watch them again. Conor needs to defend his belt against the top lightweight contenders. We’ve seen the flaws in his game. His cardio is weak. He’s fighting smaller guys and always brags about how he’s the bigger man. Nate is the only bigger fighter who really exposed him. Get some equal sized fighters who can absorb some punches and run a past pace. Personally I would love a rematch with Aldo. I think it was a lucky punch.
still won against him though, lucky punch or not. Imo i dont think it was lucky he knew what he was doing and he timed the punch very well. Thats my opinion so.
Agree somewhat but when 2 fighters weigh in at 145 or 155 then they are they same size! Conor was in the back rehearsing his counter to aldo's strikes and movement and whether that sequence happens after 13 seconds or 13 minutes it's masterful fight IQ nothing lucky about it!
Ken Brimmer Sorry but if you word for word say how you're going to KO someone and then literally do EXACTLY what you said you were going to it can't be considered luck. Aldo is finished if Conor goes back to 145 he should rematch Hollaway.
Fuck the trilogy fight with diaz, mcgregor needs to fight the winner of Ferguson and Lee, it's as simple as that, if he doesn't well then it just shows how much of a sham the ufc is, It's been a year now since he won the belt so the division has been held up long enough, The LW division needs a champ that will defend his fucking title at least twice a year instead of taking a year off
And I predicted exactly what would happen to McGregor against Mayweather. Conor would gas out after the early rounds and Mayweather would pick him apart. That doesn’t mean I’ll always predict the outcome exactly and neither has Conor. Conor is a good fighter, no doubt. But in his own words, he always describes how he’s the bigger man. Not always, but size certainly does make a difference. I certainly don’t see Mighty Mouse who is 5’3 fighting Conor at 5’9 even if they fight at the same weight. And Aldo is 5’7 which is smaller. The champions who’ve lost have gotten a rematch. It’s especially due for Aldo who was the longest running champion. I’m not particular to any fighter, I appreciate the skills each one has. But my opinion is Aldo should be given a rematch. He was lured in by Conor’s trash talk and Aldo rushed in, which is not his style. He was too emotional for that fight and he got caught. That’s why I think there should be a rematch, then there’s no doubt it was a lucky punch.

Both of you had very interesting points of view; very entertaining. Loved it, Joe.
HIs shit talking is also well cultured and almost poetic. Nobody talks like him.
that walk is from Vince mcmahon! theres a video conor doing that while singing to "No chance, thats what you got" (Vince's theme song)
Floyds greatness shone brighter...he was 40yrs old, only trained around three weeks cos he injured his hands and couldn't spar for a month b4 the fight, he was retired 2 yrs inactive, and taking on a guy 170 pounds on the day, 20 pounds heavier than him, taller and longer guy who was 11 yrs younger in his prime, and supposed to be this ufc KO artists.....Floyd toyed with him. Conor did well in round 1 but he hardly had Floyd in any danger. People watching rd 2 and 3 more closely can see it wasn't close and in fact Floyd won those rds too
Hmmm...I understand McGregor is being fast tracked and hyped by the UFC. But having watched his old fights I do think people are being too quick to label him as overrrated. If he still had the same ability, but was not a global star, I think everyone would have more appreciation for his skills.
He is Irish. Thats his superpower. Ireland is the best country on the planet.
All day EVERYDAY 🇨🇮🇨🇮
Ireland is a shit hole, end of.
eyeroll lol
How is everyone misunderstanding his use of the word "myth" so much in these comments? He used the same word talking about Mcgregor: do people think he implied Conor Mcgregor isn't real? He was talking about how Ireland can be romanticised and idealised and that oppression is a significant part of it.
Never thought I'd hear Chael Sonnen and Muhammad Ali mentioned in the same sentence... I like it
It's just how we walk in Crumlin, even when we are going to the shop for a pint of milk!
aaron i hahahhaa yuppah struttin past the blackforge to the newsagents hahaha
@@Spectre_22 pint of milk and a chicken fillet roll
Now, this is what I call 'a sentence' (0:03 - 0:39)!
XD
\,,/
The answer is a quot from the gladiator movie. "I wasnt the best because I killed quickly, I was the best because the crowd loved me". Conor is the best coz the crowd loves him. Plus the dominant way he beats his opponents. He has NEVER had a boring fight. Win, lose or draw
Russell Brand is like every high school English teacher ever
British history books obviously tell a different story of the 800 years of oppression we battled 😒
Home boy should have more substance for how many words are pouring out of his mouth. Reminds me of those guys who are waiting for you to finish so they can talk some more.
1996 G this
plenty of substance in what hes saying you dense tard
a b Not really, he just says the same thing in many different ways.
well he bashed consumerism...very original
Check out his podcast and read his books before you judge him. He's an extremely intelligent person with some very interesting ideas.
The walk is from how Vince McMahon walks, Conor mentioned that he lifted it from him in an interview
When the teacher says last question before the test.
Conor McGregor is a legend.
The King of Dublin
(4:07)
Good prediction. Khabib vs McGregor was biggest pay per view in ufc history... 2.4 million ppv buys🥇💰🦍🦅
Russels outlook on consumerism is deep KD awesome
"myth" of British colonalism in Ireland? Read some book Brand.
That's not what he meant by myth. He meant "myth" as in legendary, mythical qualities. Conor personifies the spirit of the "Fighting Irish", and that image takes the form of an Irishman "standing up" to British oppression.
LOL...Rogan doing the same shit he did to Ronda.... "Unique isnt a strong enough word?"... yeah like that mythical creature bullshit ?
He is a bit of a unicorn after all lol got finished by Nate Diaz and Floyd Mayweather maybe when they talk about his greatness they are referring to his ability to talk rather than his fighting ability and cardio
Thank You Its easy to forget he had a 15 fight win streak before Nate finished him. His fighting skill is unquestionable. He just got gassed with Mayweather and Diaz
Oil mercer nah'. bro
The "walk" is all about achieving a state of relaxation. It's not about peacocking or anything like that. It's getting your body ready to be explosive. Smooth is FAST!
Legend has it that Russell still hasn't taken a breath and is still yacking on about Conor McGregor to this very day!
Yeah, I'm still pretty surprised Connor won 4 rounds and the first 3. I thought he might win round 1 and that'd be it.
I’m not the most intelligent person but I can follow Russels dialogue. He has a large vocabulary, which as a hiphop fan is always amazing and keeps your brain active
Put it on x2 speed, Russell sounds like a crazy professor in an art museum
Joe should have just said "yes"
Where's the "freak bitches"? You let people complain and took it away? Well I'm complaining that I liked it!
NathanFree84 for real
NathanFree84 This isn't Joe's channel that's why.
NathanFree84 Dumbass it's not his channel stop complaining
NathanFree84 Lol, I know huh?
That walk that Conor does where he throws his arms back is not just to stay loose its the principle to his kinetic chain and he's just firing it up before the fight letting his body know its go time. Anyone that understands this knows the true essence of martial arts.
He said himself that he saw a cartoon character walking in that way AFTER winning a fight, and he thought it just looked badass, with which I agree. You're looking so deep that you don't recognize the surface.
Oh, and as far as "anyone who understands" goes, I participated in two GG tournaments. Not a champion, but not a novice.
Russel presence is so dammn good I feel like he is the one interviewing joe
Why would you say Irish oppression by British colonialism is a myth Russell?
cause he is english
I think he meant more like the 'story' or 'narrative'.
He obviously knows that oppression is true.
peacocking? Its the 'McMahon Walk' ya goof.
Conor said it's called the Billionaire Strut and he borrowed it from Vince McMann.
Irish America even more so than Ireland has been huge to mcgregors success .. the guts of 40 million people who have been waiting for an Irishman to come along in combat sports for a long time .. the fighting Irish and all that
I understand what Rusell is saying & I'm high af so it trip me out bad 😂
CXMRCX feelin ya bro same
7:00
Twas no myth
Prime conor was definitely the greatest. Skills+charisma+hunger
Could listen to Joe and Russell talk all night
I'd say Brand is a little bit jealous Conor is also funnier than he is.
No one wants to see McGregor x Diaz III. We want to see McGregor defending his lightweight belt!
I love listening to these two speak, awesome stuff!
I am brazilian and I fuckin love this irish fucker. What he did to Aldo was CRAZY SHIT. If you love MMA like I do, you gotta love him too
haha, the "myth" of being oppressed by Birtish colonialism?...
That's not what he meant by myth. He meant "myth" as in legendary, mythical qualities. Conor personifies the spirit of the "Fighting Irish", and that image takes the form of an Irishman "standing up" to British oppression.
jesus why is everyone hating lmao
Imagine that as a essay question lol
Would love to see an update 2022 podcast with you and Russel I feel like you both are on the same level these days on how you think and believe and could be very interesting for everything currently going on. Even if it’s you on his show or him on yours would love to see it.
i strongly agree was about to type this myself untill i stumbled upon you comment well said
Jor "Aiiireland" Rogan
Mcgregory didn't win shit against mayweather. Mayweather let him tire himself before beating him. The man was 40 years old, retired, barely trained for the fight. It was a circus money fight. Mayweather was going 50%. Imagine a 29 year old mayweather going 100%.
Baghuul Biased ref saved Floyd's ass multiple times. And who knows how it would have ended with that early stoppage.
Jesus D Mac that is a fucking stupid comment, worse than the one above! Bhaagul I reckon that a guy that retired 2 years ago is far more capable of competing at something than a guy who retired from the same thing 15 years ago! There is not one fighter in mma that would beat floyd in a boxing match and theres isnt one mma fighter tha woukd lose an mma match to him he'd make cm punk look good in an mma fight!
bel6891 I know what I saw u little bitch 🤣
We aren't talking about mma, this is boxing! You know, the sport conor said hed beat floyd in.
Baghuul Conor was robbed and u know it.
What Conor did for UFC is unparalleled and people should respect that. He will become a billionaire in coming years but what's most important is he was the greatest fight entertainer ever lived.
Conor McGregor - ( In UFC 9-1, 7 KO's, 2 Dec), Defeated every man in he ever faced in UFC.
Became 2 Div's Champion in UFC defeating the likes of Eddie Alvarez, Jose Aldo, Max Holloway, Nate Diaz, Chad Mendes.
Faced the Boxing GOAT and went 10 rounds with him in 1st pro fight.
He brought in more eyes to our sport = more money for our fighters.
His fights are always entertaining win or lose.
He is a huge Inspiration for people all around the world.
His myth of Ireland being colonised????
Brand is a rich guy who loves socialism yet his success has been made through capitalism. Hes a muppet!
that's dumb.
Its very true....he is a perfect example of a champagne socialist.....
Explain
No explanation.
Allow me to retort. He didn't make money through traditional capitalistic means, but rather through his skill as a storyteller. This is a rarity, virtually no one else with the possible exception of other very successful stand-up comedians or authors have made vast sums of money through storytelling. Storytelling would be popular no matter what system of government we live under, capitalist or socialist - actually probably more so under a socialist system because the arts would be more valued. Was Russel Brand born into wealth? no. Did he get it through occupations linked to capitalism? no. Has he spoken out against having more money than he needs and politically tried to change the system unlike other rich people? yes. Has he used his time to help the underprivileged? yes. Has he used his money to help the underprivileged? unclear, but definitely partly.
He made most of his money through film!
Always got time to hear joe elaborate on anything especially mma he knows his stuff !
He went full robin black near the end
I'm skeptical of the validity of some of Conor's fights, so I can't fuck with conversations like this anymore.
Following Excitement yup. Especially him calling out Nate Diaz recently. He’s not much of a competitor
validity .. nice word
Following Excitement why don't ya think they're valid?
Do you mean the fights themselves or the opponents?
Don't then?
50-0
It's called the "Millionaire march" Vince McMahon invented it. Well on television at least
Showed his real character, in losing, then running...
@@JG-ge3ui
Losing to Nick Dias in the 1st fight; then running in the ring from Nick Dias in the 2nd fight.
Ali was the GOAT idgaf what anyone has to say
taylor kxng as a pure boxer he wasn't.. but he transcended boxing and that's what makes him amazing. Athletes who transcend their sport make them goat contenders
56 wins, 5 losses, 37 knockouts. wtf are you talking about again?
438 wins ,1 loss. Vasyl lomachenko.
Conor>>> God,if God exists.
Kenshiro V Thanks for the compliment.
Kenshiro V Awww! thanks.
Well cocaine is one hell of a drug😂😂😂
Sanju Singh Mma when did you go from drinking piss from your holy cow god to being atheist?
Sanju Singh Mma gay
McGregor will never beat Khabib but Khabib will
Never transcend the sport as Conor has
The Vince McMahon walk
Nate Díaz is Not the best fighter""
Nor is Conor.
conor not
No He's Not Thats TonY FergusoN
iWasNeverGivenAName Fucking Ridiculous
Fucking Nate Diaz...the man is not relevant any more! It would definitely not be the biggest fight ever in the UFC. IF Nate would've fought after their last fight with Conor and won some real contenders, it would probably be the biggest fight and would also make sense. Now it doesn't make any sense because we have legit guys in line waiting like Lee, Ferguson and Khalabeeb.
Lost to Diaz in the first, controversial decision in their rematch and lost to Mayweather in a technical knockout. People speak about Conor as if he's god-tier. It's borderline embarrassing at this point.
Ruthless there was nothing controversial about his win against diaz. 1, 2 and 4 he clearly won. You should watch this fight again without rogan Hype commentary. ✌🏻
Ruthless You basically just highlighted his career lowlights and asked why people think he’s god tier. Why didn’t you mention him knocking Aldo out in 13 seconds? Or him crushing the featherweight division? Or his amazing predictions? Or his a1 trash talk? Or his amazing TKO with Eddie? All that goes out the window with you because he lost 1 time recently and got beat in an entirely different sport? What a childish and blind hater like way of looking at things.
Lawrance Combs i agree with you for the Most part but why you mention woodley? With that logic DJ has to fight holloway to be considered one of the goats. Btw i think it's actually a good matchup for conor. Woodley has a low output and cant handle pressure very good.
Kevin Snow I actually liked Conor when he dominated the featherweight division. As far as his trash talk, it's gotten stale lately. Eddie Alvarez isn't exactly an elite fighter. Diaz, not even a top ten guy schooled Conor twice. In the Diaz rematch, it shouldn't have gone be full twenty five minutes, he needed to make Diaz quit.
Lawrance Combs If Conor beats Khabib and Ferguson, I will respect him again.
Being oppressed by the British isn't a myth
I believe when he said "myth" he didn't mean it didn't happen...He meant it adds to the mysticism...I think we all know what he meant but the comment section got a little touchie...
A trilogy between McGregor and Diaz is old news. I watched the first two fights but I wouldn’t necessarily pay to watch them again. Conor needs to defend his belt against the top lightweight contenders. We’ve seen the flaws in his game. His cardio is weak. He’s fighting smaller guys and always brags about how he’s the bigger man. Nate is the only bigger fighter who really exposed him. Get some equal sized fighters who can absorb some punches and run a past pace. Personally I would love a rematch with Aldo. I think it was a lucky punch.
still won against him though, lucky punch or not. Imo i dont think it was lucky he knew what he was doing and he timed the punch very well. Thats my opinion so.
Agree somewhat but when 2 fighters weigh in at 145 or 155 then they are they same size! Conor was in the back rehearsing his counter to aldo's strikes and movement and whether that sequence happens after 13 seconds or 13 minutes it's masterful fight IQ nothing lucky about it!
Ken Brimmer Sorry but if you word for word say how you're going to KO someone and then literally do EXACTLY what you said you were going to it can't be considered luck. Aldo is finished if Conor goes back to 145 he should rematch Hollaway.
Fuck the trilogy fight with diaz, mcgregor needs to fight the winner of Ferguson and Lee, it's as simple as that, if he doesn't well then it just shows how much of a sham the ufc is,
It's been a year now since he won the belt so the division has been held up long enough,
The LW division needs a champ that will defend his fucking title at least twice a year instead of taking a year off
And I predicted exactly what would happen to McGregor against Mayweather. Conor would gas out after the early rounds and Mayweather would pick him apart. That doesn’t mean I’ll always predict the outcome exactly and neither has Conor. Conor is a good fighter, no doubt. But in his own words, he always describes how he’s the bigger man. Not always, but size certainly does make a difference. I certainly don’t see Mighty Mouse who is 5’3 fighting Conor at 5’9 even if they fight at the same weight. And Aldo is 5’7 which is smaller. The champions who’ve lost have gotten a rematch. It’s especially due for Aldo who was the longest running champion. I’m not particular to any fighter, I appreciate the skills each one has. But my opinion is Aldo should be given a rematch. He was lured in by Conor’s trash talk and Aldo rushed in, which is not his style. He was too emotional for that fight and he got caught. That’s why I think there should be a rematch, then there’s no doubt it was a lucky punch.
