Conor was quite young as well

Not really men are strongest at age 25 and max is 21 still developing his muslce and bones bit he still a man but conor had more physical advantages

Conor was 24 years old at the time I believe, not much of a difference.

​@@RevKali yes 24 and 21 not mucb difference in terms of body development.. but expierence of 3 years more fighting in ufc, on average 6-9 fights more plays a role.

@@uzairiqbal738 not really men reach physical peak at around 32 years old. Thats why most of the guys at that age are called being in their “prime”. Youre only there for a short time then your body starts falling off big time.

Do you like my name

Kinell why don’t you ask him out?

This is Prime Conor but this isn't Prime Max holloway though

@@like2jo4796 this want his prime lol

@@like2jo4796 prime Conor was Alvarez fight

this Conor beats current Conor

@@dik2bik plot twist that Connor is current connor

You weren’t an MMA fan and were watching the prelims?

@@Akaya7777 I'd always had a passing interest in combat sports, mainly boxing. I saw someone in the comments section of a video gushing about McGregor, so I looked him up and since the Holloway fight was his most recent at the time, that's what I watched.

@@wurble dope, really wish they had gotten a rematch when Max reached his prime and Connor was still taking the UFC seriously

for the worse not the same fighter

Nope, its the weightclass. Featherweight fits him more

are you braindead? go watch him fight nate at 170 he has the same style@@sidobx

They probably adapted after the Diaz fight as he might lacked in clinching and they switched to more Thai like he needed to level up his BJJ​@@sidobx

yeah getting pieced up and choked out by a heavier Diaz was what changed his fighting style

That would be the terrifying fighter in UFC

@@bo0-621 Just a downgrade version of Khabib

😅 stop lmao

@@ivanovic4187so if a fighter had the grappling of Khabib and the striking of Conor? That would be a down grade from khabib? You serious?

@@green344 Conor unfortunately lost even in striking from Khabib, so I don't agree with the fusion idea

We all do🥲

not a Conor fan but this is some majestic style of striking

@@Ar1AnX1x i know, hes so fluid its like water

@@carter3369 Legend at shitting the bed and washing himself up.

Dustin finished Max. Nasty, like your logic.

@@troymusil909 casual

@@troymusil909 yeah Nate finished Conor now wts your point?

Volk owns max

well he's a brown belt I think so uh but yeah he seems pretty talented could also be just hard work tho you never know

@@BIGFREAKYMAN ok bro?

@@BIGFREAKYMAN why would you write that, I never discredited Conor in any way. I just said that he's a brown belt and a good one at that

Well conor isn't talented at all because of khabib the eagle🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

@@drlight-hy9vn cringe

The Floyd mayweather fight happened and then he was a head hunting boxer

*Enter high school wrestlers*

Conor swept and defended against a much larger Diaz, gave khabib a RESPECTABLE amount of trouble early on and in the third round and kept up with Chad Mendes with a shredded knee. His ground game is underrated

he was gassed out, thats why he took him down

@@kingkaywicked6698 conor was doing nothing but cheating against khabib. Conor is a noobie on the ground

@@gamebred6995 you username is game bred, never talk about anyone wrestling or ground game

Where did you get that Info from

@@joe4991 From Conors mouth, the follow up Doctors report. And MRI imaging. Would you like the President to email you a confirmation? Maybe Dana can stop by tonight after dinner and discuss it. Jesus, why do you think he suddenly decided, after battering Max for 10.mins on the feet, to shoot for 3-4 takedown and control him on the ground....

@@floatinggoose9197 get his meat out ya mouth I was just asking where that info was from u a meat eater damm😂😂

@@joe4991 Conor was out for like 9 months after this

@@joe4991 mama

Not as much here... Max was a white belt in this fight. I think this is the one that made him realize he needed to improve his takedown defense.

@@ianpcon3630 It's funny because Max became an output fighter after this fight and worked a lot on ground game after this fight. Conor honestly schooled him.

@@captaindeadpool2655 Well the Max of today would tool the fuck out of Canner

Khabib style his soul

Max would work Conor in a rematch

max would get his ass beat to a pulp 😂😂

@@drunkenmmamaster419 Conor was and always will be a better fighter (in the pure sense) - it is what is - would max beat him now? yeah maybe , rather most likely (I would def put my money on max if I had to choose), depending on the weight class obviously though but what we see now is just a joke, Conor can be beat by half the roster now - the man is a materialist to the fullest, and got everything he ever wanted - after beating Alvarez in still the cleanest and most dominant championship fight I have ever seen (still holds record for most knockdowns in a title bout) ….btw this was when Alvarez was a dog, the same guy who had a war with Dustin years later but was no where the same fighter….. but i digress, after that - winning the two belts (which he said he wanted to do in the UFC in 2012 before he was even in the UFC yet when he did it with Cage Warriors) then being out of the cage for a tad over 2 years to make 80 million in 30 minutes….start a multi million dollar company, glt everything he ever wanted and lets not forget, what he predicted he was going to do, which was unheard of and not seen as possible back when he joined the roster -- to only come back and fight the best LW of all time and arguably the best ever? then not fight for another 2+ years etc….. what I am getting at is, Conor got what he wanted - I do BELIEVE that Conor BELIEVES he can still be great - but no because subconsciously, that flame that kept the spark lit for all those years has gone out, it did a while ago…and many of his dumb fans dont realize that, and sadly Conor does not either BUT in its pure form, there was NO stopping that man during that Cinderella-like movie type run, a run that transcended him and the UFC as a company // hence why now its not impressive to say u cant beat Conor

maxs 6th ufc fight, conors second. max wasnt inexperienced at all. he just got destroyed and shut down by the better fighter

@@drunkenmmamaster419 infinite number of parallel universes and max maybe has a chance in one.

🤣🤣🤣 good shit

I hate and love you for this 🤣

MMA Math right here, but Khabib fans won't like this MMA math because it doesn't benefits towards Khabib.

@@eetfuk3571 just add “Khabib beat McGregor” to the beginning 🤷‍♂️

@@ronied125 but, Khabib lost to Tibau. that's the exact reason why Khabib fans don't like MMA Math sometimes.

@@eetfuk3571 preachin'

Max was never really known for his speed. His talents are pressure and volume.

His style benefits a lot from his added speed then again the knockout power also did go up, I'm just not sure it's better overall

F*ck yeah.. however, I want to see Chandler win..

Casual Mctapper got owned forever

also at 03:40, was looking for that in comment section actually lol

@@NicoGee1that was a gift also

I don’t think he was fearful just over confident I feel he thought he was just gonna go in and knock him out quick .

Lmao here u r dck Scking Khabib again 😂😂

He had been out of the cage for 2 years, killing himself off of whiskey and cocaine. What lost that fight and ruined his career was Conor's own mindset. With that said Khabib might still have beaten even the best version of Conor, but it would've been his toughest fight.

@@danielx713 no he didnt. Conor barely hurt Khabib in that fight.

1. they are about the same age 2. max is naturally bigger than conor, it was no different here 3. it was max’s 6th ufc fight. conor’s 2nd so the experience goes to max as well. ever thought that maybe mcgregor was always simply i donno…the better fighter?

@@knuckle-sandwichmma681 Nobody ever brings this up about how many fights Max already had in the UFC by this time. All they see is 21 years of age v 25. Max was McGregor's fifteenth fight or something, while this was Max's tenth. But Max had already faced people like Poirier in the UFC up this.

​@@knuckle-sandwichmma681nah you're coping, mcgregor is older and was fighting for longer. Max was the underdog and was the only one not to get knocked out by prime mcgregor.

@@knuckle-sandwichmma681 late but not sorry. 1- COnor is 4 years older wich is a lot. 2-Max is taller but much skinnier than Conor(Conor is bigger) 3-This was Max 10th pro fight vs Conor 16th pro fight so I kinda stand correct that Conor was more experienced than him. Now,we need a rematch of these 2 at lightweight.

Gunnar Nelson was a little more known in the ufc during the timing of the fight He was a really big prospect because of his grappling/submission Mcgregor trained a lot with Nelson in Iceland leading up to this fight, and he did fight in a similar striking stance in this one

@@tucksities24 yeah it does make sense but its something I never thought Id hear anyone say about Mcgregor lol
