I dont get the Conor hate. Guy has an awesome personality and an amazing fighting style. Have you seen the way he strikes? It's extremely technical and clean, I love it.
He is not really Hated mainly its other ufc fighters who hate him and a few others maybe he dont give a shit anyway he is a real guy talks truth win or lose thats what i like about him he says how he feels majority of the time
+Dan O'Neill actually boxing started with stuff like this way before and in my opinion does it way better and longer. you got 24-7 on HBO and you got All Access on showtime boxing. And some other mini series they also got. I think the ufc got the idea from boxing becuse it was promoting the fights really well and sold better
Why do people hate him for the hype he's getting he's an exciting fighter he deserves the hype he's not ready for Aldo or chad just yet but he's young and will get there
from what we've seen from conor his striking looks amazing, his ground game looks very solid as well to be able to dominate someone like max holloway on the ground, however I think the hype train is going get severely derailed as soon as he faces one of the top wrestlers. I mean Frankie or Mendes would most likely annihilate him. Would be interesting to see how he does against someone like guida.
Conor has a good sparring partners Gunnar Nelson is a Black belt They sparr all the time. People could be very suprised how he would do against wrestlers
Take this to account we all know his been out for months due to a injury that , he had to us walking aides. This injury sustained in round one, now picture he dominated round two with this same injury. Showing he has the hurt of a champion and the ability to adapt ad change game plan mid fight.
true i guess gunni is definitely a beast on the ground and thats gotta help him out but at the same time it's a different style of ground fighting compared to edgar/mendes/guida. I just dont see him being able to stop a double leg from mendes but we'll see!
SEE...dreams can come true, put the work in and earn your spot just like this man. love or hate Conor, you HAVE to respect him and his work ethic. best of luck to him.. cant wait to see some new movement patterns from a real martial artist (mind,body,spirit)
Every so often a gifted individual bursts onto the scene and dominates in their chosen field. It happens in all sports, in all avenues of life. I firmly believe Conor is one of those individuals. Future world champion right there.
Motivated, driven, unstoppable Conor McGregor. He was the best ever, unbeatable during his prime.. during his run to featherweight and lightweight titles
Why when I watch this on Fight Pass is it called 'Fight Pass Exclusive' then I come on here and find its free for everyone to see, Fight Pass is a joke
"Pluck them flying bein's from the sky Bruce Lee style!" This fellow is the total package: personality, bravado, looks, AND a fighter. Jesus, a fighter. Cannot WAIT until Saturday.
All great champions always have that one great training partner, or maybe a couple. For Cain Velasquez ya got Daniel Cormier, Jose Aldo - Renen barao to name a couple. And without a doubt Gunnar Nelson is a huge reason Connar is doing so well
Geovanny Aguilar A dissapointment of a TUF winner coming of a loss against a guy who hasn't fought a top 10 guy yet. This event is headlined by 2 guys who aren't top 10.
Infamous Soulja Yeah I know what you mean, but live in the UK and it would be cool to see some big names over here again. The UFC doesn't seem to understand that sure we like seeing local names, but we really want to see some big American names over here too. I appreciate that they have given us some good ones, but some of the cards they have put on here recently aren't much more star studded than any BAMMA or UCMMA card
Conor McGregor finished a fight with a blown out knee.. This dude is something special I just hope he isn't a hype job cause I'll love to see him make it far in the UFC
Ireland looks like a beautiful country. My ancestors are from there. I will return there one day. Are the any Irish people on the internet? How would I find this out?
You could try googling "effects of smoking crack during pregnancy on foetal brain development". Yes there are Irish people on the Internet what with tech being one of their biggest industries. Are you honestly that stupid?
Omg if anyone ever asks you are you Irish please say no after that comment, people on the moon are on the fucking internet every single person in Ireland has the Internet.
Brandao's more dangerous anyway. He can actually strike and has KO power unlike Miller. They both have black belts in bjj and Miller might be a little better on the ground, but Brandao's more well rounded and is actually a threat to McGregor standing while Miller isn't.
I believe Conor will by TKO/KO on fight night. I'm actually betting my money on that. He will climb the rankings in time, but if he met a top 5 contender today he would get destroyed. I don't blame the UFC for promoting Conor, he's obviously the star in Ireland, just like Gustafsson here in Sweden, and a new upcoming star in the UFC. Not least for his character.
Gunni is a phenomenal fighter, but he really needs to move to LW. The kid only cuts 5lbs for WW! I see him being top 10 by next year, but he will struggle against the likes of big WWs like Rory, Lombard, Hendricks, Lawler. Yes, Cummings is a big WW. But he is nothing special and will get finished in the first.
gunni use to grapple at 88.5 kg and won championships (188 lbs), i like guys who dont cut weight, for example frankie edgar he beat one of the biggest LWs ever in grey maynard and only left the division after getting two awful decisions and no title shot for a few years. I'll take gunni over a lot of the top 10 after 1-2 more fights.
i guess thats one thing i can do you cant conor, i catch flies in my hands all the time, but there are many many things you can do that i cant, like make millions of dollars by knocking somebody out, props to you on that... maybe one day
To me it is crazy to quest about the Skill this Guy hase insane realy he wiped out the complete Featherweight Division by Storm knocked out the Champion who was 10 Years undefeated in 13 Sec then saw no Challenges anymore jumpt up 2 Weight Classes to Welterweight against a Guy whos 1,90 Height with a insane Reach and great Boxing Skills 15 Years BJJ Blackbelt on the Ground fought his Ass off twice destroyed him on the Feet in Boxing and Standup complete jumpt to 155 Pound Lightweight destroyed the Champion there is Champion now in 2 Weightclasses and People still daubting him and some even say he would get destroyed by Khabib or Tony Guys i dont think so i dont think so ^^ different Level he would probably Ko both of them Stiff like a Board!!!..
He's more proud than you could know. Who are you to call his country and hometown shit? Going ''back to shit''. Its his home country why would he be disappointed in the slightest? Why would he give a fuck what the arena looks like either? You seem very petty and materialistic to actual notice something like that and pass comment on it. It's so irrelevant. Stupid comment.
Teabaggins69 I used to work there its like 9,000 capacity when fully seated, the floor Conor is standing on will be for seats so about that. And to vincent dipazio I say to you Conor would rather fight there for pride than a big theatre in Boston, believe me.
"That Arena" is the fourth busiest arena in the world. The Garden in Boston holds about 16,000 for UFC events. The O2 (Dublin) holds 13,500 for UFC events. Please tell me again about all these high schools that can afford Arena's of 13,500+...
The rest of the division are just full of hate because he has done in 2years wat they have tried for so many. Ye s he can be beaten of course but who cant and he has the tools to trouble a lot of the top 10 guys only time will tell
Why all the hate on hyping Conor? Enjoy it for what it is. The UFC playing a giant hand of No-Limit Texas Holdem. They anti'd letting Conor into the UFC. Then they called on the flop, raised on the turn, and now they are pushing all in for this fight. Personally, I can't wait to watch the fight and see if they end up with egg on their face or the whole pot! Either way, it'll be fun...so enjoy it!
Im from brazil, and Its a shame that people dont respect Conors hability, hes a great fighter and Jose Aldo is gonna lose that title, and all brazilian ´´fans´´ gonna shut the fuck up and forget about him, just like with Anderson Silva, Junior Dos Santos, Shogun Rua and Renan Barão, no one says their names here anymore, people here in brazil dont love MMA like people from USA, England or Japan, I bet if Conor Lose, all of his fans still gonna like and support him, just like people still like Nick Diaz or Ben Henderson... Brazilian fans dont know shit about the sport they just like to spread disorder, we have few real fans here, and Jose Aldo is always trying to look humble, but he say after beating Mendes that Hes the King, Chad could be a prince, and conor could be a clown ( jester ), its good him to say this things, cause means that Conor is already in Aldo´s head, he gonna lose that belt just like his training partner Renan Barão. And Im gonna earn some money, just like I earned on anderson silva vs chris weidman!!!!

Agreed, been a while since I've seen a fighter with beautiful fighting motions like CM. JA NEED to watch his belt
He is not really Hated mainly its other ufc fighters who hate him and a few others maybe he dont give a shit anyway he is a real guy talks truth win or lose thats what i like about him he says how he feels majority of the time

He is a character and that makes him interesting,love him or hate him he has character. I just hope he can live up to his own hype.
Respect to that beard tho
I like the shot at 00:20, but next time try to another angle, or make sure your gear isn't casting a shadow onto the road.
Conor is definitely what this division needed to stir things up.
I hope this guy wont be a waste of talent like most European fighters are, hes young, he has time, hopefully a future champion one day
The fact that the main event is McGregor vs Brandao proves how watered down the UFC is getting

He should be fighting Cole Miller.
Well Cole Miller is injured ain't he.
TheAntManChannel The UFC was worried Cole would defeat Connor, so they paid him to sit this one out.
Greg Cunningham Yeah, that's what I thought. They didn't want to see his career get ended.
