When I first heard him speak I thought fuck it's Mayweather all over again, but that is just not the case.. This guy runs TOWARDS his opponents!!!

exactly how can you hate a guy who brings this much notoriety to the ufc and has 90% of his fights end by ko

that whole card is artwork.

+Chris T you can't hate, that's how haha

Can't wait for the Aldo fight

Didn’t Keita destroy him

@@taybazza6528 Yeah he’s older now and Keita is a great fighter that doesn’t take anything away from him

21-3 at the time of the fight.

Just displays how incredible mcgregor really was.

@@goessytm extremely overrated

no its not a lot of wrestlers go for a takedown after slipping a telegraphed shot if u didnt know

@@SOUTHCRACK773 you missing the fact that conor wasn't a wrestler, espacially at this time of his carreer

I dont think it was telegraphed, he just wasnt close enough..

@@TiZ452 its instinctual to go for the takedown since u already closer to them post-slip. better reaction example would be dodging multiple punches in a row from a quick fighter while in the pocket

@FireMcgwire which belt did he defend? From my understanding he vacated both cage warriors titles without defending and joined ufc

I love Conor. I hate that this is an accurate past tense statement.

This man was unbeatable at the time

He used to be

He was 12 years ago lol

Yes best Conor performance ever

Not really. He had a lot of wasted movement in this fight and missed spinning attacks. His Alvarez fight was where he had it honed to perfection. Both solid performances nonetheless

Eddie alverez to become double champ was the best hes ever looks or against siver

Sure he feels even more invincible after he takes the 1st line of cocaine 😂😂 (just a joke I had to do it I'm a huge fan ot McGregor)

This fight and his ufc debut were his best fights. He was at his hungriest.

Absolutely zero chance of a comeback. MAYBE one down the road.

Wtf 🤣 Goddard was looking at the cage door wondering where tf the doctor was!!! "Huge admiration" 🤦‍♂️🤡

Хрен тебе

Such a simple technique but delivered with such elegance and precision. Young Conor was a different breed.

Would you still like him If he punched your fathers face?

@@skimask5933 first simultaneous double champ so cry 😢

@@Crysisplaya 0 title defenses. Zero. Also he had no business fighting for the belt at LW in the first place. He just skipped the line and avoided fighting his way up at LW. He would never have had the LW belt if he would have had to fight his way up, fighting Khabib on his way up for a title fight. No legacy in getting an undeserved title fight against Alvarez, Alvarez himself not even being among the top 30 LWs. But as McGregor himself said, it's just business.

He was.

Dive for the legs

​@@vasilijevukovic6946and hold on for dear loife

He’d have to lose about 200 million dollars and I don’t foresee that happening soon.

best slip KO i have seen

Yeah, boxing stopped him from being “an extremely accurate killer”….. nothing to do with money, fame, cocaine or alcohol………..😂😂😂😂😂

He's still young, we're the same age so it's true.

definitely a tough kid and one to keep an eye on

Dana, give him a chance pls

This is at lightweight though

I respect how he hit his head on the floor.

+TheMjl31 You grateful...

They just want something to hate on!

I hate all of the hype. Is he fun to watch? Sure. But skill wise he isnt EXTREMELY impressive. I don't see him having a good shot at beating Aldo. I don't think he would win against Mendes or Edgar. Both mendes and edgar could pretty easily take him down and hold him there. Mendes and Edgar both have much better footwork. Mendes is so strong, Edgar is so skilled. Aldo is both extremely strong and skilled.

***** I have been boxing for a long time as well. Competitively at that. And You are right. But its easy to get angles on stationary targets. The opponents he's faced thus far are not near the level of Aldo, Mendes, or edgar. Edgar moves WAY to much to get good angles on. Thats part of what makes him so difficult to fight. He is constantly changing direction and going in and out of range. Mendes has very good angles, and probably would match the footwork of Conor. Only Mendes has more power in his hands, and mix that in with his wrestling prowess, Conor would lose that fight. Aldo outmatches Conor in all categories.

Jack Laden I disagree.. I think he has the striking advantage against everyone in the division, his reach will be too much for mendes, Aldo is too stationary.. However as you say against Frankie it becomes much harder, he's the toughest guy in the division with the best wrestling after watching him destroy a very dangerous bjj blackbelt in Cub I wonder if Conor could do much against a guy like that, if he can't finish him by strikes or submit him in the first 2 rounds I would bet my house on Frankie...

Tom Evans Maybe youre right! Tbh, i havent watched every McGregor fight, so I really am just going off of stats and older fights. Maybe he can out strike aldo, Although I'd hardly call Aldo "Stationary". Aldo has probably the fastest feet going forward and backing up. Even faster than Frankie at times. But McGregor does only go forward and backward, he has full circle movement. If he can utilize that effectively against Aldo, I can see Conor getting an edge. But I think youre right. Frankie is a really rough match up for Conor in particular.

Man, that was impressive.

+Top10MetalSongs Ya thats a good point because watching him in this fight he looks unhittable but against the smaller guys he doesnt seem to care if he gets hit.

agreed, the last time i saw a performance of that calibre was anderson silva. very masterful in that fight, im very impressed by that display an i cant wait to see him this weekend hopefully fuck poirer up

TartanSpartan01 Ya he and Weidman have been my fav active fighters for a while even before Chris beat Anderson. Connor is something special though which excites the fanboy in me a lot. I like Dustin but want to see Mcgregor get that strap.

+Aniruddha Sharma nope conor is

One punch Mickey. Snatch.

Dya like daaags?

+sam spin Conor McMickey

Now the Aldo fight seems like another example of his Mickeyness.

+sam spin I think the left knee immediately before did the real damage. Buchinger kind of got punch drunk and threw an unbalanced wild kick and punch which McGregor took perfect advantage of. Fantastic set up of his knockout left.

i feel like your the referee

The ref was quick but I think Conor wasn't going to pound the fallen opponent who was clearly out. Thumbs up to Conor for not pounding like a mad psycho like many other MMA fighters do.

I thought it was clear that Connor knew it was over too and there was no need to push him half way across the cage...

someone said the ref did that because he trains ivan or some shit

Tom Kitchen Right. I also thought that Connor knew it was over. Respect to him for not doing a 'over kill'.

McGregor's counter reminded me of the Silva-Griffin fight.

r00mie absolutely, just re-watched it after reading your comment.

r00mie completely different counter. Silva used the anchor punch and was backing up, no head movement. This one was standing in place, head movement then the counter

LocChokingVMorningG You mean the one that ended the fight? It almost looked like a pimp slap from that angle. He just pimp-slapped Ivan out.

Boyakaaaa shaaaaaaaaar

So true

😂😂😂

+chapinero017 McGregor beat David Hill the fight before this who was Marc Goddards (the ref) student, so he was probably bitter over that lol

+Eire247 A few of the refs, Big John included, will manhandle/push a fighter if they see the downed opponent unable to defend themselves at all. They might end up tearing up a knee one of these days, so they really ought to just grab the arm, or get between them..

McGregor shows good sportsmanship by not killing him. Ref was really delayed in calling it

***** Most MMA commentators and journalists are ignoramuses about martial arts in general and only listen to popular trends. They also make up idiotic names for moves that already have a perfectly good name but pretend they do not exist outside of MMA.

***** I hear ya man an second it! I am so sick of judges ruling wins to stupid lay and pray rasslers. In real life the man who wins a fight is the one who is not hurt as bad as the other man. But yes its great when commentators use proper martial arts terms for moves.

MaharlikaAWA who gives a fuck what it is.

CrossOut k A lot of people. What if people started calling punches kicks or something random? It matters to keep techniques understood by the general viewer. The best names for techniques are the martial arts styles terms for them.

MaharlikaAWA true good point

+jackie boy Herb Dean knew Weidman would have protected his title and record at all costs, and would have wanted it to be kept going, so he would at least have a chance at protecting it in the championship rounds. That's why I think he left it go on for so long, and while unfair on Rockhold, should be given respect

Eoin Smith I've never seen Herb give any other champion that level of 'respect'. Refs are supposed to protect the fighters not let them get their head hammered in

jackie boy There's not been many circumstances where an unbeaten champion is being mauled after a silly mistake, it was only my view of it anyway... who knows why it went on so long

+sammy2629 Over 70 unanswered shots is enough to warrant a stoppage tho, no doubt.

+jackie boy Thumbs up to Conor for restraining.

marcagel a taunt

Coolnicknameguy hahaha

Muay Thai front leg guard. It's used to block an outside leg kick and can also hurt the opponent if timed correctly and he did.

41RobLow Interesting... I've seen AS throw a lot of those, but never reversed (behind the leg).

***** Anderson Silva did it too a long time ago!I'm not sure which fight.

Sorry but it won't last. If he ever gets near the top or becomes champ, the risk taking goes down just by its very nature. I agree he is very fun to watch though :)

Ary San Whatever you say :)

If he continues to throw those round house kicks with little or no chance of connecting, he's going to get caught out.

He does have great hands but sometimes over extends with the left.

***** Correct

North American UKpostsr And his ridiculous coordination, balance, hip dexterity, cold rage, etc.

Well said/.

Mark Butler Some people are born to over-analyze things. It's called being a geek. And yes, they are MMA geeks if they are doing that, whether they'd like to admit that or not.

Mark Butler McGregor is possibly on steroids. Just observe his physique and explosiveness in Siver fight. But in the Mendes fight, his power and explosiveness disappears completely. The Mendes fight was after the new UFC drug testing methods.

conor mcgregor is a phenom.

+reiwell del bruce lee is an overrated hollywood fighter, only people who pay testimony to his skills were weak movie stars. he's get stomped by Conor or anyone at the top of the ufc

WesternInfantry I think you got it twisted. Hollywood only obscured what Bruce Lee was really about. You referred to him as a "hollywood fighter", which is something he never really wanted to be seen as. Roles he did not want. Read a bit more of history kiddo before you speak when adults are talking.

***** he never fought any elites competitively. hes a hollywood fighter

WesternInfantry he fought in little competitions where you have to finish an opponent under a certain time. But guess what, there was no ufc in his time. Boxing is as close as you can get to real fighting. If youre going to be so naive, dont be so critical because you sound like an idiot. Also if you didnt know Bruce developed his own martial art style, and he has taught thousands of people. You seem to be like one of those people who only get his information from the t.V. Get outta here.

***** lots of people create their own martial arts styles and variations on arts like bjj. muay thai etc. there is absolutely no evidence he would hang with the elite of the world then and especially not now. he hasnt earned the titles afforded to him

Exactly. Something wrong in their heads.

If you think like that your either gay or turned on yourself.I have been into mma since the start, and loved so many fighters, but tossing off to a fighter sounds fucking weird.I know Rogan has talked about it, but generally fans don't like rude or insulting, or delusional fighters.When Conor says he carried the UFC on his back, it sounds ever so slightly delusional, so I should say, "oh you have a strong back, you do", or do you keep it real and tell him to put his money where his mouth is. The Irish fans could be said to have carried the UFC, because if Conor didn't have a huge following, he would be another Artem, but because of his brash ways, and the fact that Ireland need any hero, he has done great,but the guy is a pratt. Selfies and a new car every month, just feels insulting to any fans. Same as Mayweather, money is everything, and it's sad. There are so many fighters doing good things for charities etc.from wages,less than 1% of your idol.I like people who give, you like people who take.The guy was on welfare 3 years ago,now he wants a piece of the UFC sale.Why isn't he thanking them for making him rich, why doesn't he try and get higher wages for others? The guy wants to take take. Cool
