When’s it’s all said and done, one of the greatest showmen we’ll ever see
It's not his quality though. If it was WWE, then definitely.
@@DC-zi6se The "Notorious"? Because of his fake extracurricular, "bad boy" image. Slugging some guy at a bar because he won't accept a drink on him? The guy was so hurt that he just turned his head and went back to drinking his beer like nothing had happened. Because he didn't actually hit him. Staged incidents with worse acting than a soap opera. Khabib, outside of one (seemed staged, too) incident, just crushes his opponents, telling them ""they have to give up, you know it's over". I think it's because he doesn't want to needlessly hurt them, because he's right, the match is over!

He put UFC on the map for alot of people, Conor brings in millions of casual fans who only followed the sport for him. I know Dana is eternally grateful as Conor fights for maybe the last time.
5:04 This part is just godlike. Conor was always one step ahead of time than his opponent and that hook to finish it was in my opinion the cleanest hook knockout i've ever seen.
Definitely a clean hook
More like a straight left
He was looking down too so his opponent wouldn’t expect a punch but rather a possible kick, fooled him each time
His loss against Khabib made people forget how good he really is. The man is pure talent.

@ROHIT Palukuri all last fights he loses. Sorry not sorry
No introduction needed for Mcgregor, everbody knows his rise
@UFC MMA RECAPs dudes a multi millionaire . He can lose every fight from here on out and it’s still not considered a fall. The man broke the game
@UFC MMA RECAPs Dude so many fighters lose fights, every single one except arguably Jon jones (got dq'ed) and Khabib. Just because conor lost twice when he was young and also lost to Nate (black belt in jiu jistu actually submitted ryan hall look it up) And Khabib does not mean he sucks. I believe up to date conor would beat Artemji whatever his name is, Joe Duffy and nate in a trilogy. That's 3/4 of his losses. And even though khabib beats conor in a rematch dont count out conor just cause what khabib did. Everyone is cozing up to Olivera who got submitted by Jim miller and Anthony pettis saying he should get the next title shot. Which goes back to my first point everyone in the top 10 aside from a few lucky guys have lost or will lose just cause conor lost doesnt mean he sucks. Cuz if he sucks everyone sucks.
@@TheRubberMatch money isn't the issue here. He's referring to his status as a fighter, I suspect.

3:24 conor with a submission win for the title, crazy
Yeah but it was against a guy Artem had beaten 2 fights earlier.
What’s crazy is the fact that people think his ground game is weak because he lost against 2 blackbelts from wich one is probably the fighter with the most dominant ground game in ufc history.
@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 he has the most underrated ground game in the sport for sure. Only the best of the best at grappling have been able to beat him. He done better against Khabib than Poirier and Gaethje who’s grappling no one criticises. He swept Diaz in the first fight before he gassed out and in the second fight Diaz got one take down after trying for the whole fight
@@edconway8599 People will NEVER admit that the fight against conor was the least easy fight against a khabib in his prime. I still think that khabib would win 9 out of ten fights against conor, but to COMPLETELY disregard conors performance after seeing how hammered he was at the press, the suspected substance abuse, all the legal trouble, him immediately taking the fight against khabib without a warm up fight, it’s all a bit disrespectful in my opinion. In this world there are a few people who people will just hate no matter how good they are in their craft. Like drake, mayweather, cormier pre jones loss, cristiano ronaldo. And it’s always against people who have proven to be somewhat of elite.
And a mad double leg takedown in his fight for the second championship 😂
love him or hate him , he's an absolute trailblazer, who changed the lives of all he has fought and also changed the sport forever

Love him or hate him he is going to go down in history as a legend of MMA, he has brought so much attention to the sport it's insane and he's an excellent striker
He's still top tier when it comes to being an mma sports super star.
Despite the controversy that surrounds him, he definitely can still draw attention.
Also, side question.
Do you think him having a 74" reach, has a part in him having such power?
I'm not his that big fans but I do acknowledge him. " McGregor Era " is entertaining af. They way he's trash talking and back it up is gold. Beautiful combination and very tactical. Precision beat power. Timing beat speed.One hell ride. I wish he's back at his old self. Calm, hungry, motivated, and loves fighting. Before fame and money changed him 😭.

He improved a LOT. Wow. I guess most fighters do, but with him its like night and day. And he was good to start too. Went from a very good striker to a phenomena.

This guy sparked my interest when Cage Warriors would stream their events free, I watched Conor fight for the first time in 2011. Watched him fight twice more, and was lucky enough to see him knock out the last guy. That's when I knew this guy had steel in his hands.
Funny fact about my dumbass is when he debuted in the UFC I picked Marcus Brimage to win. Feel free to call me an asshole, anything you'd like.

UFC needs to do "The Fall of Connor McGregor" to show how money corrupts people.
It’s not about corruption. It’s about interesting, dude! Every fighter fights dreaming about getting money and being famous. Connor was this kind in the beginning. He won everything he fought. In the other way around, the other fighters was training hard while Connor spent his fortune.
Maybe, it’s about focus. Every poor fighter has only hard work and training to do, cuz the are poor ones. MacGregor doesn’t have to do this anymore, cuz he doesn’t have any obligation with himself. He achieved everything we ever wanted.
corrupts? it’s called having everything you’ve been working for and being happy with life with no need to keep on working your hardest
It corrupted him to the core. Ego ate him to the point of madness. No sensibility nor moral.
