Even though he never defended his belts, the way he just starched Aldo (who was pretty much undefeated in 10 years before that) for the FW belt and the absolute clinic he put on Alvarez for the LW belt were two of the most incredible championship performances I've ever seen.
Yeah man during those three years (let’s not forget he went 10 rounds with Mayweather in a boxing match) he was the goat. No one’s ever had a run like that, it’s just a shame he’s been doing business and not taking the fighting as seriously as he used to. Tends to happen when you’ve got millions to burn and you’ve got four kids
They were great performances but styles made fights. Both of them fights suited Conor almost perfectly. Aldo had gotten into a bad habit of not using what got him to the dance. He stopped throwing leg kicks anywhere nearly as often as his WEC and early UFC days, stopped really going for takedown or clinches. McGregor literally spelled out the gameplan of how simple it would be to beat Aldo and logically, size plays a massive factor in it. McGregor was walking around 10+pounds bigger heavier than Aldo with a noticeably bigger frame. He was a better mover than Aldo, better counter puncher, fresher, and was a stylistic nightmare for Aldo. Fleet footed karate style southpaw, creating dead spaces for the aggressive, fast but easy to telegraph, muay Thai fighter to jump into and get wiped out. I'm not going to say I knew Conor would win but I was pretty confident he would. I had it like 75-25, 80-20 in Conors favour going into that fight.
@@abdellah7879 Nope. There is no replacement for Conor. He helped to make the world aware of other fighters like Nate Habib, Dustin etc. There wont be another Conor.
I’ll never forget that night. The MGM was literally flipped upside down the roar of the Irish chanting and beer being thrown everywhere. Everyone was hugging and Vegas was mini Ireland that weekend. Greatest moment in UFC history.
I wonder if he has stopped using the Secret?? As i know as he was on the rise he was huge into that book. And was constantly using terms in the book. If he has stopped height want to dive back into it.
Love when Joe breaks down fights. Because he’s so well-versed in the sport he points out talents and skills you might not notice as a spectator really makes the sport more interesting and adds value and respect to the fighters.
Connor was incredible during his immense rise. Today tho he is a different man and I purely think it’s down to hunger and what he now has. He’s rich, has a family, made his name in UFC. Subconsciously he isn’t the same person let alone fighter. He still got it, but it’s like any sportsmen…you never lose the ability, just age and life things catches up to everyone.
Alpha Squad. Very exact perception. Conny just has to let Dharna down easy.. & tell him, "It's a wrap Boss". & "I will always "appreciate & respect "Dharna" ..
Not that psychology doesn't matter. But more than anything you should be looking at the matchups he won and the ones he lost. Eddie was tailor made for him. Eddie has no range weapons at all, and he sucks at closing the distance. Conor thrives off people charging in on him. Dustin was a bumrusher with no defense when they fought the first time. Etc. Nothing about his style has changed. He's just fought more people, and his limited style was bound to make him lose at some point. He's also always been a quitter, so it doesn't take a lot of bad things happening in a fight for him to give up.
@@isawilraen9816 yeah man. Specifically Max Holloway and Dustin P were completely different fighters back when Connor fought them for the first time. Many of the fighters from back then have grown to be such good martial artists to be honest.
I think that's for two reasons mainly. For one, he's taken shots at Joe before for his commentary on his own fights and the fights of his teammates. And secondly, I doubt Conor wants to break kayfabe too much with a multi-hour in-depth interview.
I wrestled, took me a few years but many people are not present during a fight, for others their senses are hightened, time slows, and everything is so clear. I remember a few wins I had where I felt so much stronger, calm then My competition
Exactly that. But do you blame him? That was the peak of his career and was the be all and end all for his legacy and for multiple generations of his family. Look what that done for him. He won both belts, went through 2 divisions and also think about the state of the lightweight division at that time, what could of he done if he didn't fight Floyd? I don't think a lot. Maybe fight RDA? He wouldn't of fought Dustin or Max at that point, Tony was injured, he didn't have beef with khabib at that point.
I'm glad the Joe points out that although people beat Conor, there was a reason why he was so renowned.

@@Notorious_Network in actuality he only lost in grappling to Khabib and everyone gets merked by him. Everyone else he demonstrated his purple belt bjj and can get back up relatively soon. He's gotta style bend it and just work on takedown defence.
@@mojomomo1475 IMHO he was very good and certainly not the worst; he became champ when fighters like Pettis and Dos Anjos were still in their prime. it was a reasonably stacked division but for a couple years there wasnt a dominant champ
Healing after a fixation plate and healing after an intramedullary nail are two different things. The healing after the plate can take considerably longer than wheel healing after an intramedullary nail. If I understand correctly, Connor was treated with an intramedullary nail. This can be expected to heal within 8 to 10 or at most 12 weeks if all is going according to plan. With some complications healing may be delayed but otherwise, healing will be quicker with an intramedullary nail then with other methods of fixation.
It was 5am in England when the McGregor Vs Aldo fight was on. We were all at my mates flat in the centre of Liverpool, drunk and twisted, one of my mates was desperate for a shit. He went the toilet, thinking “I’ll only miss the first 30 seconds.” We all cheered, he ran out, it was all over. Great times.
Funny when Cung Le posted a pic clearly after working out (gym background and sweaty), Rogan accused him of steroids. Conor McGregor posts a pic at 190lbs and flexing, Joe Rogan says he may have just finished a work out. I love Joe, but he's known to make biased judgements. Obvious favouritism
The difference is Conor is young and in his prime while cung le was old as hell, had never looked like that before and had no business looking like that at his age
What makes Conor McGregor such a fantastic puncher is the fact that he doesn't close his eyes ever. All the best punches in the UFC shares that trait. Most fighters flinch a little bit whenever someone hits them or throws a punch at them, but Conor McGregor keeps his eyes open the entire time and he's able to find openings in the middle of the other person's combo. I don't know why he doesn't let his hands go anymore like he used to, the money I guess.
I think he is looking for the highlight reel knockout. He needs to just flat stop with that spinning back kick he ALWAYS tries in the first minute or so of every fight
@@marinewillis1202 he doesn’t always try that spinning back kick what are you talking about ? He hadn’t thrown that since the mendes fight. Plus he always landed that spinning back kick anyways…. Even in the 3rd porier fight, it was landing
@@ppvplug3940 You are right he hasnt done it in his last few fights but I suspect thats because he has been getting his ass beat pretty much out of the gate in them. Conor has always had a cardio issue and those high risk high reward shots just seem to risky and take to much out of his tank
There was a moment during a Conor Aldo press conference where it was clear that Conor had his number. Conor sat back w his feet on the table, knowing it would spur Aldo to relax and do the same. As soon as Aldo relaxes, Conor leaps up and grabs Aldo's belt. It was then I knew he had predicted his game perfectly.
I remember that and I said to myself that guy is a genius at some other level to do. Like to think 3 steps ahead of someone in a charged up environment and that brilliant trash talk. It was beautiful to see
Love how clean that 4 punch combo to a falling opponent is..and the fact he made Eddie miss by an inch just before then..*bang*..that really was a great night. People like to re-write Eddie's history now too..but NO-ONE did to him what Conor did that night.
And many high level people had picked Eddie winning or it being a dog-fight. And Connor made him look like he didn't belong in there with him at all. Like a novice sparring a pro. Absolute madness.
@@matthewstephens6848 who picked eddie? I never heard anyone seeing a clear route to victory. The conor show swallowed him up, much easier to beat conor now with the mystique gone
@@dcarson89 I can't remember off the top of my head, but there were plenty. I think Joe said it would be a hard fight, possibly Chael - there were guys picking against him. Like it was gonna be a bigger, better, fitter Chad Mendes that was gonna swarm him.
The fact Conor McGregor was in the back before coming out to octagon - training/practicing this same punch on same night before actually landing same practiced punch is just so much insanity. 26 laws of attraction.
Conor can manifest with the best of anyone on this planet... Watch old interviews of him he said he was going tp b champ after just entering the UFC...
Connor had a phase of domination and hunger. Like Mike Tyson had a phase of pure destruction. And neither of them lost a fight during it. Then later after money and a few life events and the phase of destruction passed. They took their 1st loss... every now and again u see someone in that phase of pure wrath.. and once it's gone they never get it back.
@@startingtech3900 Not with $100+M. It’s not just about the motivation. The kind of money and fame changes the way you can interact with the world without becoming an immediate target for people.
You’ve got to consider that he always said, even from the begining, that his primal motivation was making money, which he absolutely did. He is a great example of what pure motivation looks in a man and we all should respect him for that.
To be a double champ in the ufc like he did in his previous mma promotion and to make millions. AS SOON as he achieved his goals he started to fall off. It was like he was on godmode then said "Meh. Alright that's enough".
What’s great about the Aldo victory is the footwork. Connor intentionally was stepping inside Aldo’s left foot to tease him and pull him into feeling he had the advantage (when your foot is outside it gives you the power advantage). Connor jumped in and out of that position to try and bait Aldo to surge forward and Connor was ready when he did. And few guys can counter off the back foot moving backwards.
McGregor getting jacked makes me less optimistic about his chances of getting back near his best, his cardio is already his biggest weakness; and his power has always come from his speed rather than size. Would prefer to see him leaner and possibly going back down to featherweight, with modern nutrition he should be able to make the cut without looking like skeletor on the scales, Ortega, Holloway, Volkanovski, Kattar etc all walk around heavier than Conor
Agreed. Also, Conor's fight training should be 75% grappling (i.e. jui jitsu, wrestling, Judo)/ 25% striking because he continuously loses versus grapplers.
Conors cardio isn't a issue lmfao what world you in. Went 5 hard rounda with diaz and won went 4 hard rounds with khabib and got caught in a sub wasn't because he was gassed
One of the last things to leave a fighter is punching power from strength and size, lots of fighters start focusing more on that as their other attributes start fading with age. Personally I think Conor lost his edge after his second belt. Not even attempting a single title defense is not something real champions would even consider doing, he just became all about the money and fame instead of the fighting
@@MegaMma4life he looked pretty exhausted in the fight with khabib he's never had the best cardio which is why someone that can pressure with grappling and keep him at bay tires him out faster than someone going at him purely with striking
People get so emotionally invested in his attitude and personality outside of the ring, they completely disregard how good he was. The guy was silky smooth. Definitely could have been one of the GOATs, but being worth $400m, how many of us could seriously keep training let alone deal with having that kind of money? It would probably send a sensible dude absolutely crazy, let alone someone like Conor. 😂
@@War_Maker Joe's knowledge is unsurpassed, there's not anyone even close to having both the knowledge and ability to articulate live on air what is happening in a fight.
thank goodness this is a podcast for millions because joes conversation was being wasted on these guys .....bless them, zero clue about the fight game lol
Had a tibia plateau fracture in my left leg (Broken shin bone right on top under the knee, I actually crushed it not so much fractured it), torn ALC, PCL and Meniscus. Had a 8 inch plate and a half dozen screws put in. Was pretty much bed ridden for about 8 weeks, on at least one crutch for around a year, and didn't return to work until about 16 months after the injury. Had another surgery at the 3 year point to remove the hardware because of pain. 6 Years later and I still wear a brace often doing work or a lot of walking. Really need a full knee replacement, would be a faster recovery than another reconstruction.
What made Conor so good was that he was patient, would set traps and use his accuracy to pick his shots. Now he just marches forward flat footed and throws big shots looking for ko. Instead of just looking to land clean shots.
@@Kwehhhhh for sure, but what I mean is that with Eddie he was calm and patient. Picked his shots and broke him down. With Dustin he was trying so hard to put him out in the first round that he exposed himself to Dustins big shots.
His performance against Alvarez reminds me of his performance against Ivan Buchinger. If you haven't seen that counter punch KO, you need to. Put it in slow mo and just watch how fast that reaction time and counter punch was. That McGregor is gone not because he's a different person. He said it himself long ago, wife and kids and now business ventures and all sorts of other things... he's grown past being just a fighter and people inherently consider that a bad thing. To criticize the things he says and how he promoted a fight, that's one thing. However, to expect him to be as invested as he was is simply unrealistic. He still loves it just as much, obviously. Seriously, why else would he fight? He just simply doesn't have the same openings in terms of time and energy to invest. The victor is more often than not the one who has the resources and willingness to sacrifice more. He simply has too much to lose now to adapt, especially with how fast MMA is evolving and will evolve over the next few decades.
Yeah I always thought that. Especially when Ivan/Eddie both swung Conor ducked then *bang* that was Ivans lights out.. cracking left hand. Theres Buschinger/Alvarez fight similarities, that's for sure. Even Conor beforehand mentioned in the presser "I've been smoking Eddies style for a long time" guess he was right!💯
Idk this leg injury may be the perfect storm. Having to sit back and watch all the talking for a year might be exactly the spark needed to bring that flame back.
@@joshwilliams6517 Perhaps, of course we'll just have to wait and see. Another speculation I've had is that people are criticizing his bulk up, stating that he already had "bad" cardio. Sometimes our best bet is doubling down on our strengths; the answer isn't always focusing on your weaknesses. Furthermore, it could make him a stronger grappler. Sure, maybe not technically better, but there is a reason there are weight divisions in wrestling and BJJ.
It was because he was charging forward. All of Aldos weight transfered into his chin. Brilliant use of the matador technique. Conors technique of bouncing in and out of range while staying perfectly on that edge , was a masterclass.
He was in range he jus landed precisely and first shows u how skilled he is which is why khabib ran from that rematch watch that fight again and u see khabib panic for the takedown early tier him out then strike with him later on
You think that's just gonna happen magically? He's got to want it, not just pretend like he does. He used to actually really want it badly. What does he want now? Endless streams of cash?
He is where he was talking about Aldo...he has a family now and his bank account plus Injuries....you can't stay at that level for too long. It's like bodybuilders trying to win Mr. Olympia, grueling work just to get there and they only look like that for a couple hours. It's not sustainable.
Conor’s fight with mayweather is ageing like a fine wine, especially now these guys are getting knocked out by jake Paul Shows Conor is one of the best strikers to ever grace the ufc despite what casuals will say about his more recent fights
@@uzzernamez Mayweather said he wanted the Paul fight to go rounds because of the size distance and to show his control. With McGregor he was in his offensive prime.
He inspired me i hope he finds himself again because he means alot 🙏 he put me on this journey for working out and lots have changed peace and love everyone
I’ve said this for years; Joe Rogans display of insight and intuition seconds before the knockout is one of my favorite sports commentary moments ever. Those of you who remember know what I mean.
@@masonmiller1863 Yeah. He was goofy and pretty hopeless but he really captured the randomness of the old style UFC. It's far too corporate these days.
Joe: "Conor has some freakish punching power". Ari: "Who"? Joe: "Conor"... Joe: "He is one if the greatest strikers to ever do it". Ari: "Who"? Joe: "CONOR"!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Aldo's right was a full foot short and only a set up for the lunging left. Conor countered the setup right with a ko hook and willingly ate the lunging left for the privilege. A millisecond here or there and we could have seen the world's fastest double ko. Great matchup to two greats at their peak, but the figh never really played out with the action we hoped to see.
Love watching prime Conor. He’ll probably never be the same though. Ever since his boxing training for Floyd, he’s lost all movement in that free flowing style. “Stook in the mud” as they say.
If it wasn't for the leg break, I would argue he could still do a mental reset and start smashing guys again, but I think that break compounded with other issues means he's effectively done
God… Conors rise truly was a moment in time to live in. No matter what people say about him after these past few years. He will always be a legend for what he did on his way up
@@jimbombadill well we all have opinions ,but his rise was seriously mistic, what he does outside fighting another story. Yeah he could have been beat , but wasn't he fell from grace after Floyd Mayweather fight.
That's why Aldo's run in the Bantamweight is even more impressive. Think of how Conor and Frankie Edgar fought their last two fights and look at what Aldo is doing after having a decade of dominance. Bantamweight is no walk in the park and he didn't get no Cerrone. Respect Aldo
Dude you act like he's over 40 or something. He could easily still come back and run that division if he put all of his mind and body back into the sport. Will he? Probably not. I believe hagler said it best. " when a man's broke and hungry, he'll do anything to become champ. But once you've been champ, and you got millions in the bank, it's hard getting up at 5am to go run, hit pads, and lift weights.."
I had a 6” plate and 9 screws in my leg from a fall from a roof. It took 9 months of healing and physical therapy. 8 years later and it’s still kind of fragile. I was 45 years old at the time.

I was at UFC 205 at MSG. The atmosphere when he did that was surreal. One of the best nights of my life
I do not agree. I want Conor to focus his training for 70% grappling/ 30% striking because he continuously loses to grappling fights.
I agree. I don’t like front footed Conor
Each shot? All power shots? He knocked him out in one shot 😂
@@Notorious_Network in actuality he only lost in grappling to Khabib and everyone gets merked by him. Everyone else he demonstrated his purple belt bjj and can get back up relatively soon. He's gotta style bend it and just work on takedown defence.
As amazing the Aldo ko was, connor's dismantling of Alvarez made him undeniable

Healing after a fixation plate and healing after an intramedullary nail are two different things. The healing after the plate can take considerably longer than wheel healing after an intramedullary nail. If I understand correctly, Connor was treated with an intramedullary nail. This can be expected to heal within 8 to 10 or at most 12 weeks if all is going according to plan. With some complications healing may be delayed but otherwise, healing will be quicker with an intramedullary nail then with other methods of fixation.
Cool 👀

It was 5am in England when the McGregor Vs Aldo fight was on. We were all at my mates flat in the centre of Liverpool, drunk and twisted, one of my mates was desperate for a shit. He went the toilet, thinking “I’ll only miss the first 30 seconds.” We all cheered, he ran out, it was all over. Great times.
Funny when Cung Le posted a pic clearly after working out (gym background and sweaty), Rogan accused him of steroids.
Conor McGregor posts a pic at 190lbs and flexing, Joe Rogan says he may have just finished a work out.
I love Joe, but he's known to make biased judgements. Obvious favouritism
The difference is Conor is young and in his prime while cung le was old as hell, had never looked like that before and had no business looking like that at his age
Joe sounds just like he does while he's a commentator in the UFC. Gotta love how genuine he is
“He’s got a hog, I bet.”
@@hugehairyfetus Keeps it 💯 tho.
What makes Conor McGregor such a fantastic puncher is the fact that he doesn't close his eyes ever. All the best punches in the UFC shares that trait. Most fighters flinch a little bit whenever someone hits them or throws a punch at them, but Conor McGregor keeps his eyes open the entire time and he's able to find openings in the middle of the other person's combo. I don't know why he doesn't let his hands go anymore like he used to, the money I guess.
I think he is looking for the highlight reel knockout. He needs to just flat stop with that spinning back kick he ALWAYS tries in the first minute or so of every fight
@@marinewillis1202 he doesn’t always try that spinning back kick what are you talking about ? He hadn’t thrown that since the mendes fight. Plus he always landed that spinning back kick anyways…. Even in the 3rd porier fight, it was landing
Dustin Pourier made him close his eyes! Lol
@@ppvplug3940 You are right he hasnt done it in his last few fights but I suspect thats because he has been getting his ass beat pretty much out of the gate in them. Conor has always had a cardio issue and those high risk high reward shots just seem to risky and take to much out of his tank
@@marinewillis1202exactly.. imagine him now this size with *potential* ped abuse on top, its well known to decrease cardiovascular health...
There was a moment during a Conor Aldo press conference where it was clear that Conor had his number. Conor sat back w his feet on the table, knowing it would spur Aldo to relax and do the same. As soon as Aldo relaxes, Conor leaps up and grabs Aldo's belt. It was then I knew he had predicted his game perfectly.
I remember that and I said to myself that guy is a genius at some other level to do. Like to think 3 steps ahead of someone in a charged up environment and that brilliant trash talk. It was beautiful to see
"Conor is one of the most spectacular fighters in the world"
"wHo?"
Love how clean that 4 punch combo to a falling opponent is..and the fact he made Eddie miss by an inch just before then..*bang*..that really was a great night. People like to re-write Eddie's history now too..but NO-ONE did to him what Conor did that night.
And many high level people had picked Eddie winning or it being a dog-fight. And Connor made him look like he didn't belong in there with him at all. Like a novice sparring a pro. Absolute madness.
Hungry Connor was on another level
@@matthewstephens6848 who picked eddie? I never heard anyone seeing a clear route to victory. The conor show swallowed him up, much easier to beat conor now with the mystique gone
@@dcarson89 I can't remember off the top of my head, but there were plenty. I think Joe said it would be a hard fight, possibly Chael - there were guys picking against him. Like it was gonna be a bigger, better, fitter Chad Mendes that was gonna swarm him.
That night was over 5 years ago. Move on Conor isn't the fighter he once was
The fact Conor McGregor was in the back before coming out to octagon - training/practicing this same punch on same night before actually landing same practiced punch is just so much insanity. 26 laws of attraction.
Lol, magic is real bro. Conceive believe achieve mann
Conor can manifest with the best of anyone on this planet... Watch old interviews of him he said he was going tp b champ after just entering the UFC...
@@chozen0018 there's also video of him saying he's going to beat every old non believer too, it's spooky
A leftie practicing his best punch, the left hook, before a fight. Wow, shocking.
Conor: "coach i have problems with gasing out to early"
Coach: "ok lets add more weight"
Connor had a phase of domination and hunger. Like Mike Tyson had a phase of pure destruction. And neither of them lost a fight during it. Then later after money and a few life events and the phase of destruction passed. They took their 1st loss... every now and again u see someone in that phase of pure wrath.. and once it's gone they never get it back.
It’s weird watching pre-money Conor compared to today.
It’s hardly the same person.
vs eddie he was already loaded and aldo too
If you earned as much money as him you would change a bit also, happens to anyone that's poor and becomes super rich.
@@startingtech3900 Not with $100+M.
It’s not just about the motivation. The kind of money and fame changes the way you can interact with the world without becoming an immediate target for people.
You’ve got to consider that he always said, even from the begining, that his primal motivation was making money, which he absolutely did. He is a great example of what pure motivation looks in a man and we all should respect him for that.
It was to become a double champ and make more money than he can spend... and he achieved it some damn quick.
To be a double champ in the ufc like he did in his previous mma promotion and to make millions. AS SOON as he achieved his goals he started to fall off. It was like he was on godmode then said "Meh. Alright that's enough".
I preferred his pre cowboy persona to any other time in his career
REALLY needed an hr show was amazing display.
I usually watch the podcast at work. They're amazing. Thanks
What’s great about the Aldo victory is the footwork. Connor intentionally was stepping inside Aldo’s left foot to tease him and pull him into feeling he had the advantage (when your foot is outside it gives you the power advantage). Connor jumped in and out of that position to try and bait Aldo to surge forward and Connor was ready when he did. And few guys can counter off the back foot moving backwards.
McGregor getting jacked makes me less optimistic about his chances of getting back near his best, his cardio is already his biggest weakness; and his power has always come from his speed rather than size.
Would prefer to see him leaner and possibly going back down to featherweight, with modern nutrition he should be able to make the cut without looking like skeletor on the scales, Ortega, Holloway, Volkanovski, Kattar etc all walk around heavier than Conor
Agreed.
Also, Conor's fight training should be 75% grappling (i.e. jui jitsu, wrestling, Judo)/ 25% striking because he continuously loses versus grapplers.
Right, he needs to hire professional trainers! Oh wait, youtube says otherwise haha
Conors cardio isn't a issue lmfao what world you in. Went 5 hard rounda with diaz and won went 4 hard rounds with khabib and got caught in a sub wasn't because he was gassed
One of the last things to leave a fighter is punching power from strength and size, lots of fighters start focusing more on that as their other attributes start fading with age. Personally I think Conor lost his edge after his second belt. Not even attempting a single title defense is not something real champions would even consider doing, he just became all about the money and fame instead of the fighting
@@MegaMma4life he looked pretty exhausted in the fight with khabib he's never had the best cardio which is why someone that can pressure with grappling and keep him at bay tires him out faster than someone going at him purely with striking
I replayed Connor's ko of Alaverez ten times. As Joe mentions, that shit is a beautiful piece of combination artwork!
It wasn’t a combination tho. It was a one shot counter. Maybe watch it an 11th time
@@stevec8974 I know liberal YT won't let you see my down vote, but rest assured, your comment is a dick move.
Joe breaks everything down masterfully
The way he knocks Eddie's head around like a tetherball, and making it look effortless.. that's about as good as I've ever seen in the sport
People get so emotionally invested in his attitude and personality outside of the ring, they completely disregard how good he was. The guy was silky smooth. Definitely could have been one of the GOATs, but being worth $400m, how many of us could seriously keep training let alone deal with having that kind of money? It would probably send a sensible dude absolutely crazy, let alone someone like Conor. 😂
@@warrengeew i dont think he's any worse than he was, its just at LW, these guys are bigger and he doesn't have the gas tank.

The thing with the Conor KO on Aldo was that NOBODY thought he would do it
hmmmm idk I remember him being a favourite. I just think nobody thought he would do it with such skill and domination
true

thank goodness this is a podcast for millions because joes conversation was being wasted on these guys .....bless them, zero clue about the fight game lol
Had a tibia plateau fracture in my left leg (Broken shin bone right on top under the knee, I actually crushed it not so much fractured it), torn ALC, PCL and Meniscus. Had a 8 inch plate and a half dozen screws put in. Was pretty much bed ridden for about 8 weeks, on at least one crutch for around a year, and didn't return to work until about 16 months after the injury. Had another surgery at the 3 year point to remove the hardware because of pain. 6 Years later and I still wear a brace often doing work or a lot of walking. Really need a full knee replacement, would be a faster recovery than another reconstruction.
What made Conor so good was that he was patient, would set traps and use his accuracy to pick his shots. Now he just marches forward flat footed and throws big shots looking for ko. Instead of just looking to land clean shots.
I mean the shots he landed on Dustin in the second fight would have easily finished a smaller dude like he was doing back in the day.
@@Kwehhhhh for sure, but what I mean is that with Eddie he was calm and patient. Picked his shots and broke him down. With Dustin he was trying so hard to put him out in the first round that he exposed himself to Dustins big shots.
Khabib > Mcgregor
@@mc3newsmcocconcierge504 who asked
@@willsk1738 just making sure we’re all on the same page.
His performance against Alvarez reminds me of his performance against Ivan Buchinger. If you haven't seen that counter punch KO, you need to. Put it in slow mo and just watch how fast that reaction time and counter punch was. That McGregor is gone not because he's a different person. He said it himself long ago, wife and kids and now business ventures and all sorts of other things... he's grown past being just a fighter and people inherently consider that a bad thing. To criticize the things he says and how he promoted a fight, that's one thing. However, to expect him to be as invested as he was is simply unrealistic.
He still loves it just as much, obviously. Seriously, why else would he fight? He just simply doesn't have the same openings in terms of time and energy to invest. The victor is more often than not the one who has the resources and willingness to sacrifice more. He simply has too much to lose now to adapt, especially with how fast MMA is evolving and will evolve over the next few decades.
Yes man so true
Cant be done better
Yeah I always thought that. Especially when Ivan/Eddie both swung Conor ducked then *bang* that was Ivans lights out.. cracking left hand. Theres Buschinger/Alvarez fight similarities, that's for sure. Even Conor beforehand mentioned in the presser "I've been smoking Eddies style for a long time" guess he was right!💯
Well said, i agree 100% with your statement and observation.
Idk this leg injury may be the perfect storm. Having to sit back and watch all the talking for a year might be exactly the spark needed to bring that flame back.
@@joshwilliams6517 Perhaps, of course we'll just have to wait and see. Another speculation I've had is that people are criticizing his bulk up, stating that he already had "bad" cardio. Sometimes our best bet is doubling down on our strengths; the answer isn't always focusing on your weaknesses. Furthermore, it could make him a stronger grappler. Sure, maybe not technically better, but there is a reason there are weight divisions in wrestling and BJJ.
Every minute Ari forgets who Joe's talking about 😂. "Who?"
Joe: "Conor!"
It was because he was charging forward. All of Aldos weight transfered into his chin. Brilliant use of the matador technique. Conors technique of bouncing in and out of range while staying perfectly on that edge , was a masterclass.
He was in range he jus landed precisely and first shows u how skilled he is which is why khabib ran from that rematch watch that fight again and u see khabib panic for the takedown early tier him out then strike with him later on

His left hand man, it's something else.

Aldo's right was a full foot short and only a set up for the lunging left. Conor countered the setup right with a ko hook and willingly ate the lunging left for the privilege. A millisecond here or there and we could have seen the world's fastest double ko. Great matchup to two greats at their peak, but the figh never really played out with the action we hoped to see.
If conor went on JRE that would easily be the biggest episode ever
Love watching prime Conor. He’ll probably never be the same though. Ever since his boxing training for Floyd, he’s lost all movement in that free flowing style. “Stook in the mud” as they say.
