Ya that killed me.

Were sorry Ari couldn't be here tonight. -Joe Toegan

seriously

Who?

Proof drugs cook brain cells

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

@@haroldgodwinson7241 "the greatest of all time" "during those 3 years" ? What the fuck does that even mean?

@@haroldgodwinson7241 he got into the coke too badly and it fucked him up

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.

@JK he made that word up.. I think it means like to win with a flawless victory, a one sided beat down

Biggest thing is bit of a stretch

@@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.

@@trevorphilips3133 i didn't say he wasn't a big attraction in MMA i only said that him being the biggest star is a little bit exaggerating

@@abdellah7879 nope. You are wrong. He is the Biggest star in MMA. Im not saying the best fighter in MMA which he is not currently.

Who?

He also sounds great when he’s talking about boxing most of the time, but every now and then he kinda sounds like a casual

Yeah that was fking annoying it's like he has nothing to say except asking an oblivious question just for the sake to engage with Joe

he’s finished after match with mayweather

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.

WHO? ;)

@@jcsquared1111 I’d imagine he stopped once he got the deal with MW… 100M would distract anyone away from there path

Nothing great about having a height and size advantage and abusing the rules of MMA to get a leg up.

Literally

@@shah5524 why are you here, what a bore 😭

Greatest moment was khabib tapping conor and smoking his team

Only somebody who started watching UFC in this era would say something like that

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" ..

Speak for yourself

@@stevegreusome9961 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.

Unlike Gina Grad.

fr most of joes geusts are so dumb and out of it its annoying lol

He wouldn’t think the pay is enough

@@lesterbronson2385 stfu mans busy af. Not even in the country

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.

he’s gonna go on there when he retires

@@mediocrates1937 kayfabe?

I think Habib never lost over 30 fights

Why is the Mayweather fight bad?

Changed his fight style more of a strict boxer instead of a well rounded karate and mma style he started with

@@jtlpwilliem downhill from then on

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.

Money is much more important. His family is set. He doesn’t HAVE TO fight and gets time w his family. Conor IS winning

Once people stopped letting him get in their head he became a useless fighter.

Past few years? Must be like 6-7 years ago..

@@88joshuajohnathan dumb and wrong. You make it sound like he's losing to scrubs. He didn't play any mind games with Cowboy and ran right through him

@@88joshuajohnathan ..he didn't get in Alverezs head at all. He talked shit but in a very joking light hearted way. Eddie thought Conor had no chance against him. Eddie litterally talks abyhows he's never been less intimidated of a fighter than Conor. He says he always feels some fear in a face off but with Conor he felt none. You even see Eddie laugh at Conor in the face off. Also he's only lost recently to two of the absolute best fighters in the world. Khabib is undefeated, had never ever been in rocked in a fight or even lost a single round untill the Conor fight and not to mention khabib is the absolute worst style matchup for Conor possible. Instead of ducking him..like alot of dudes will act like Conor ducks hard fights or bad style matchups..Conor wanted the fight bad..and he got beat fair n square. Then with Porior he's also a very elite fighter that has beaten a murderers row at lightweight.. Alverez, Justin Gaethje, Dan Hooker, Max holloway, Anthony Pettis, obviously Conor ect.. he's beaten the who's who in the division multiple former and current champions and has only lost recently to khabib and Oliveira two reigning champs and absolutely top of the food chain elite fighters. Conor lost to those two guys and ppl act is if he's been fighting cans and getting his ass beat it's silly.

@@wickedliquid1177 very true, it's just a fact of life. People need to try and drag people down to their level because they cant accept someone they dislike is just so much more successful than them

Alvarez is the worst fucking lightweight champion of all time, any of the current top 10 would ko or submit him...

Yet Justin got koed by him

@@tonio3885 excuses all I see

Who? -Ari

@@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

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.

“He’s got a hog, I bet.”

@@hugehairyfetus Keeps it 💯 tho.

How would we do that? By leaving a youtube comment? Good Idea.

No! Conor is annoying.

Both Joe and Conor have been saying that they're down for it for like six years, yet here we are.

@@MegaLaban12345 exactly lol, if enough people ask for it they will notice sooner or later🤷🏼‍♂️

His name is in the title of the video, how do you still proceed to misspell it?

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

That’s what a fan boy would say

anderson silva submitting chael sonnen is by far the greatest moment in UFC history

@@kiwimangosurprise Chael Sonnen has never been submitted, wtf you smoking?

@@dawg3897 LMAO! Facts.

Lol, magic is real bro. Conceive believe achieve mann

Man they sure were fun

What he did to Eddie was just filthy lol

@@jarnold1789 Eddie who?

@@keithgreer462 Eddie Alvarez, the guy McGregor beat to win the 155lb belt back in 2016

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

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...

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

Cool 👀

Thanks for your professional input , it's refreshing. More people in the know should be commenting.

Say intramedullary nail one more time~ S.L. Jackson

M

@@larrimos I dare you mutha fucka ,I double dare you 👍

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

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.

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.

@@jasonpage8600 He has really changed his style just too much. Just look at his stance now in comparison to against Eddie and before.

@@jasonpage8600 nigga he dominated Eddie at LW, he could’ve still been the same at least up until he ran into Khabib.

Karate stance Conor will always be a GOAT, and now is a mythical fighter.

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.

@@Unriven Your here and that says everything about you.

Exactly my thoughts

Yup and I’m all for it

same thoughts

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.

hmmmm idk I remember him being a favourite. I just think nobody thought he would do it with such skill and domination

true

Jose was basically the Amanda Nunez of that division at that time too

Aldo still fights the exact same way... What?

He did. That's all that mattered

Let sleeping dogs lie

Not really possible with the huge weight difference

me too but the weight difference is way to much now lol

couldnt happen now. aldos 135 mcgregors prolly gon b a ww at 170

I mean I don’t think that would be a good fight for Aldo honestly. Conor broke him

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.

@@happyboi9396 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.
