His destruction of Jose is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. To be humiliated like that live for so many months and then to be knocked out in 13 seconds is absolutely insane. Glad to see they both respect each other now, but conor was a vicious killer back in the day.
Conor at his best was truly something else, the way he beat poirier, mendes, holloway, jose Aldo, and Eddie alvarez. Each of those performances was truly magnificent.
@@schilling2438 Not to mention the massive crowd Rousey gathered, and the timing of the UFC pushing him harder after she lost, Conor was boosted by a perfect storm to become a star
Mr McGregor is an awesome MMA artist. He showed how stand-up can overcome grappling, he showed incredible skill that would overtake opponent strength and conditioning ... Precision over power / Timing beats speed ... Connor is a Skillful Master.
What's so insane about his mental warfare of Aldo is how incredibly effective it was. Mcgregor dominated Alvarez over the course of several rounds using a similar strategy, and while the fight lasted way longer Mcgregor didn't have a scratch on him at the end. While Aldo was such an insanely good striker with so much power and speed that even though it ended in 13 seconds, that one left punch that clipped Mcgregor was enough to leave a bruise above his eye. But the problem was he just went off and tried to end it there. And Conor was ultimately right, precision beats power and timing beats speed. Aldo paid no attention to having precision or timing and just wanted to make Mcgregor pay for all the months of trash talk, and he would have likely put Mcgregor to sleep if that full combination had connected. But Conor saw it coming, and got out of the way of most of it, and while Aldo was wide open he ended it. Really makes you wonder how things would've ended if Aldo stayed calmer similar to Khabib, or even like Chad Mendes who almost beat Conor in their interim title fight, albeit got too gassed to close it out. But I don't see prime Aldo tiring like that, so even though at surface value people will think the fight had a very definitive result, the way I see it I think it was actually kinda inconclusive as to who was the better fighter.
That type of awareness seals him as the better fighter at that time . He mentally beat his opponent then identified the combo and countered . Fight over
Isnt the mission in combat warfare "to hit and not get hit" its kinda simple AF!! n noone did it better than conor in his prime at 145, and another example of someone who absolutey dominates fights by being a master jedi of "hitting without been hit" is floyd maywhether.... conor is a freak of nature when you look at his ability to adapt to everyone he fought, adapting to diffrent fighting styles takes a certain "RING IQ" in my opinion conor has a genuis level of intelligence in the ring cant be taught, cant be imitated, or replicated. Agree or not, he is and will be for all time the biggest name (brand) in mixed martial arts
Diaz vs Mcgregor 2 remains my favorite fight of all time. It's sentimental too. My best friend from when he was 4 and I was 5 was down in Wenatchee WA and it's the last thing we talked about, because the very next day he had a swimming accident that snapped his neck and caused him to go brain dead. They turned off his machine. I will always remember Wyatt any time I think of or see Diaz vs Mcgregor 2. Wyatt said "That was the best fight!" RIP little brother.
@@BumbaclartiosJeez man. Tone it down a lil there champ. Dude just wanted to have somewhere to release that and even if it’s not true you still look like a jackass
McGregor used to have that hunger when he was facing Aldo. Nowadays the man is a made man and don’t nearly train as much as he once did. And why would he? The guy is rich and only really need to jump into the ring every now and then so people don’t forget all about him. That mayweather has already cemented his legacy in the sport.
It genuinely is super depressing to see how good Mcgregor was, how hungry, how passionate, how verbally and Combat proficient he was. To see him go to Boxing once, then off the rails all together, to having too much money to need to ever compete again, to getting smashed by Khabib which he deserved as the things he said weren't him just being a master trash talker it was actually foul, and the way he acted was pathetic, to smashing Cerrone which was insane and had us all thinking we could have Mcgregor back, then he is back off the rails before 2 losses to Dustin, then vanished again.
Dustin is one of the best in the game. My optimism is that losing to Dustin doesn't make you washed, especially with the 2nd fight being controversial.
I could watch the Aldo and Alvarez fights on repeat. Connor put on a hell of a show at his best. Connor looked so calm and ready to go, Aldo looked scared and nervous…it was incredible to watch that textbook knockout
thy have never really focused on mma as a whole, only ufc. that said there is money to be made there because the sport is so big. motivedia are missing out by not covering ufc stuff more. its not in their wheelhouse but I wouldnt doubt if in the next five years its their primary topic to cover
I'm not a mcgregor fan boy definitely not nowadays but fair play this was a great run through the ufc the ppv numbers were through the roof the hype he brought has never been seen before or since.. A great era in mma
It’s hard to be hungry when you’re worth hundreds of millions. The money made him lose his way. It’s sucks because prime Conor made the sport so damn exciting
Not gunna lie. I miss the days of Connor’s prime. Being a fan around that time was the greatest feeling ever in the bars and making bets with friends. But those were good times
I know it's difficult to see happen, but I wish Conor can get back to his former glory. I am not even a fan of his, but having Conor headline PPVs and strike fear into his opponents will do enormous service to the entire UFC
He used to be a beast before boxing ruined the movement and money ruined the man.... I'm still a fan he's an exciting guy, but I'm an honest fan...now the leg break that's usually a career Ender look at every other fighter we've seen suffer that injury smh and for him to come back this quickly against chandler is insane if he wins it will be impressive that type of injury isn't only physical it's mental
Imagine how good they both could become if Colby Covington and Conor Mcgregor trained at the same gym for one year and left the egos at the door. They both would be unstoppable
To go from practically nothing to a top 5 most recognized athlete on the planet. In less than 5 years...That's better than any record he has, in my opinion. Seems impossible
Man if he would have just stuck tot he work and grind and not gotten side tracked he could of had the most legendary record ever. But still set in stone for sure! Best era of the ufc and mma ever. Hes the ali of the ufc for sure. Wont be another like him because anybody that tries the fans push away.
I love both Nate and Conner and I remember the fight and honestly… EVERY bar in and restaurant in Texas was packed to the point there was a lull in traffic…
Prime Conor was just something else, I firmly believe he would have a long title reign at FW if he didnt move to boxing or Lightweight and instead focused solely on the FW division
Connor's last great performance was Eddie Alvarez. Once Connor made a 100 mill fighting Mayweather, he no longer had the drive to be the best. Even if Connor was totally focused and hungry, Kabib beat him every time. Connors couldn't keep Kabib off him.
Diving for legs and holding on for dear life was so boring to watch. He did stop several takedowns. I wish he'd never left UFC but he's a showman and he made all his dreams come true and baby number four on the way so oh well.

Looking back at young Conor McGregor. I don't know how no one hired him to play "The Joker 🃏 in a Batman movie" he would have been perfect. *I hope Conor finds that love for Martial Arts again. Instead of just "Boxing" because he has so much more to offer than that. He's more than just a left hand. He has great kick's, and movement, fight I.Q. agility. So I hope he remembers that.
His destruction of Jose is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. To be humiliated like that live for so many months and then to be knocked out in 13 seconds is absolutely insane. Glad to see they both respect each other now, but conor was a vicious killer back in the day.
