Still hilarious how they can't show "the middle finger" but can show people beating the shite out of eachother.
Mind aswell have the fighters bleeding be blurred out too
@@bobbyshmurda5225 UFC : “Well let’s better blur the whole thing”
@@Michael_Krombopulos 🤣🤣, imagine that, just two blurs bouncing around with red blur everywhere 😆
The combat part is considered "sport" lol a fight is a fight, this "sport" bs is just for marketing
What is being shown is legally sport and suitable for TV and general distribution while profanity is not
Look at the views this event had, no one does numbers quite like Dennis Siver.
lmaoooooo
Stolen comment. Be original ffs
@George Washington oh yea i forgot you americans wear them outside to
Dennis Siver the pound for pound goat!!!!
lol gd ply
Connor looks so clean here, his reactions are quick, his strikes are calculated. Looks like a completely different fighter than what he is today.
Pride comes before the fall .
People forget this reality of life so easily .
They should make a tattoo of this on their body ,so that they are constantly reminded.
the level of competition he's at right now is just way higher. he can still do this to unranked fighters
@@lou5368 not saying he can't fight or compete but either the competition has increased or Connor has regressed over years.
@@blah311 The comp has gone from like 70% pro athletes to 90%. UFC is a well established thing now.
@@blah311 bit of both tbh him changing up his style was a clear sign to me that he wasnt able to succesful with his style..hes still one of the best if hes fighting lower ranked people or people like cowboy who he made absolute easy work of..i hope he can make a comeback even if its him winning a fight i just want him to win something then retire lol
Miss this old Conner. Literally made almost every fight look so smooth and effortless. Still my favorite fighter to date 💪🤙
It's easy to look smooth when the opponent is rough.
Lies again? UFC SILAT UEFA SW
Lies again? Balls Of Steel USD SGD
*Conor, at least spell his name correctly. Show respect.
Conors come-up is still one if the best rags to riches stories ever
Naw as Nate said he was born rich. Gtfo
@@jjboss7896 bro what ? Do you know who Floyd dad and uncle are ? His uncle fought Cesar Chavez sr in 1999 For the belt Floyd started his pro boxing career in 1996 so had a decent life growing up he didn’t have to pay for no trainers or gym it was Free99 his whole life not to mention the money his peoples probably made through out there fights Conor was collecting welfare checks to eat and lived an in attic the size of a bathroom and would train 24/7 Conor had no choice but to make it Floyd’s story is full of lies and propaganda to make it seem like he was broke and poor he could’ve easily done something else with his Floyd had successful people around him already
What about Francis?
And Charles
@@jjboss7896 Floyd has a better Resume but Conor's trash talk and predictions is what makes his Legacy so unique and special, Especially gor the sport of MMA, what he did you Jose at the time is one of the most amazing things to happen in MMA and then becoming the first Double Champ in UFC on top of that is very historical
What I liked the most about Mcgregor in his prime is the fact that he always make it look so easy, like if he was eating a bowl of cereal. Gotta respect him even if he is a big talker lol
Lol true. His face is like when you just busy washing dishes or something like its a normal thing
Exactly, he looked chilled out while he was picking Dennis apart, plus he had a bunch of nice and coordinated jabs. He was reading him the entire time. Now Conor looks like a crackhead in the octagon 🥲
Lucky Charms
His karate stance too was so clean
I don't respect him because of his big mouth. He can talk the talk but can't walk the walk.
The moment Conor abandoned his wide karate stance, his smooth operation ended. He became stiff and he boxed himself into a traditional stance instead of letting himself breath and just move freely and comfortably like he did in his prime. He moved like liquid and showed everyone that he was comfortable, calm and collected. He picks apart his opponents in this state. Whereas nowadays he just executes for that shot that he needs and he doesn't get it often either.
I agree with your points, but I think what also needs to be considered is that calf kicks were becoming increasingly popular after Conor disappeared from UFC for a few years. That wide stance gets picked apart by kicks now. Maybe that was a tactical change he made to mitigate kicks.
Wide karate stance is beauty, but it works more against shorter opponents. McGregor dont learned to fight in close distance, that makes so hard to fight against taller (Reach) oponentens.
yeah, Machida also had a similar style.
The stance he uses here was exposed when he fought chad mendez and dismantled when be fought khabib.
It doesnt work in mma when youre fighting anyone who can shoot for a single. Coupled with subpar ground game, its a recipe for destruction of conor.
Wow. Great observation
If Conor is able to get back to 50% of what he showed here... the calm approach, the timing, the distance the slipping in and out, reading his opponents... he'd still be a top contender.
the question is, why tho? He already has everything he ever wanted, he came from having nothing, fought his way up to become double champ in cage warriors where he went to the ufc and later got the champ champ status there too, made the money fight with mayweather, hes pretty much set for life.
The middle finger, the inch perfect dominance and then jumping out the cage to call out Aldo👏👌 Mac Mania will never be replicated, not even by the man himself
He always was an overrated scumbag of a human!
Yeah I remember him doing that and was thinking, this guy's a coke head pulling that WWE shit but then afterwards seeing him sip whiskey after the fight was like yeah he's just a crazy Irishman lol
@@ryandavis8658 Scumbag? Man you are such a sheep and you don't even know it
one of the best🔥
@@cultofdis Me pointing out a fact about the guy does not make me a sheep. Man ignorance truly is bliss!
FW Conor was something else.
His loyalty to his coaches is sadly one of the reasons he fell from grace, the one less spoke about.
He was ahead of the game and, when he came back after the Floyd fight, the game was ahead of him.
if he only went to American Top Team tho!
Him and trevor would make a great pair ..but he sticks with his usual coach
@@Mark_106 Isnt that where Dustin is tho? And Masvidal? Id like to see a guy like Trevor train him, too bad he trains Justin
Yeah vintage Mcgregor, beating up way smaller guys ^^. This fight being a main event was ridiculous.
That last of the best of him against Eddie Alvarez , no one had ever beat Eddie like that before or after.
I'm a bit older an have watched ufc for a long time. When i saw this irish fella knocking out all the featherweights i've been watching rrr enjoyed the ride. He was a natural lightweight , would have been good to see him there but 100 mill later , the rest is history
It was a good buzz while it lasted
Literally the most beautiful display of striking ever in UFC. This and his Holloway performance are as smooth as they come with mixing strikes.
That fearless and calm Conor‐stand was always impressive. Calculated punisher.
This is a perfect showcase of old school vs new school UFC. Guys who started in the mid 2000's when the UFC was just really getting big look completely out of their element against modern guys who just look so much more fluid and balanced in every aspect of mma. This must have felt like a completely different sport for Siver than when he started a decade earlier.
well said
Completely agree! the ablility of fighters went from minor league talent to major league quality seemingly overnight
Then there's guys like GSP, Silva and Jon.
@@shakibishfaq8627 genetic freaks
The fighters themselves were displaced, but the American wrestling/boxing hybrid style still works in modern MMA
"I said 2 minutes I meant 2 rounds." Classic.
My issue is the opposite 😔
@@seanhickey1999 kek
@@seanhickey1999 jajajaja
@@seanhickey1999 don't worry bro I still love you 😘
Jesus is the truth reach out.
I have respect for how Conor was not being brutal at the end when he had the chance to. I love seeing guys like this respect the safety of their opponents instead of wailing on their head. Clean and safe. 2 thumbs up.
Clean and safe, like the window of the bus he broke
I agree. I think when Francis Ngannou hammer-fists guys after they're clearly KO'd is too much and unnecessary. Makes me cringe
@@DF59821 yeah same
It’s about risk. You do the hammer fist and fight hard until pulled off for that 1% they will otherwise recover and KO you or give you permanent injury.
Conor didn't break sweat taking apart one of the toughest fighters in UFC history. That is how good he was. He was also very humane for not destroying Siver at the end.
That pass to mount was so smooth. Conor at 145 was unbeatable. He was in the best shape of his life and had cardio for days. The moment he went up to 155 and 170 he became very flat footed and much slower.
I think the issue actually is he needs to go to a different gym train with trevor
What do you mean by cardio for days? Conor didn’t fought over 3 rounds in FW, and the one instance he did fight 3 rounds, he spent most of the time of the third and last two minutes of the second round on the ground bc he tore is acl (against Holloway). He most probably had cardio issues at FW too, but it never came to show. I remember against Chad Mendes he looked super gassed at the end of the second round when he got up; Mendes was even more gassed so he could put him away to become interim FW champ.
Against Mendes he had the same reoccuring knee injury as well. Not going to move as well. But his fight with Max Holloway proved he did have pretty good cardio. It takes a lot of effort to secure a takedown and he seemed to be doing it flawlessly even with his injury. Max wasn't the fighter he is now but still impressive. He was damn clutch at featherweight.
@@Junkeiz Oh no, do not get me wrong. Conor was super clutch at featherweight. I just disagree with your assessment that the Holloway fight was enough to prove that he had cardio back then. I don't believe that to be the case. It's simple biology really, he has a lot of type 1 muscle fiber (fast twitching) thus needs a lot of oxygen, and with that his style of fighting (pressing counter shots) takes a lot of stamina. Every movement he does is explosive and fast; Dominic Cruz said the same thing that Conors style of fighting is simply not made for five rounds. And also, do you believe after his fw career he didn't train as hard as before or how do you explain his cardio issues?
After his knockout of Jose Aldo he jumped to Welterweight from featherweight to fight Nate. He was "full belly" Conor lol. He never returned to featherweight after that. His fights with Nate were iconic but he certainly didn't move as well as he did at featherweight and gassed in Rnd 2. Round 2! He went 3 rounds with Max Holloway like it was nothing and then can't even make it through Rnd 2 without slowing down and becoming exhausted?! Too big of a jump too fast at that weight.
This was my first UFC fight ever and I had floor seats this crowd was absolutely insane
Yeah right
@@Revirantless just a bit?
Dude that's amazing haha, bet that was a great night!
Floor seats at a friends house.
The only part about this story that makes me question validity is referring to ringside seats as floor seats. I would think anybody that's even remotely into boxing or MMA that actually had an opportunity to sit ringside would never refer to the seats as floor seats. That said, it takes a special kind of f**ked up mind to lie about something like this to a bunch of strangers.
His lightweight, pre boxing fighting style was the the stuff of legends
Honestly it’s insane how calm Connor was, he was the one looking like the seasoned vet. Saw he had him hurt and just took his time that fight could’ve been stopped when his back hit the cage
Fighting midgets.
"We're not here to take part, We're here to take over" - The Conor we all fell in love with ❤️
You* LOL gtfo
Khabib took over Conor
Don't speak for everyone dummy.
damn, How I wish that conor would come back :(
Everyone who? only casual
Conor was in his maximum flow state in this fight you can tell. Picking him apart like Israel usually does with his opponents.
Israel did this to Paulo Costa, that's about it
I mean your comparison is dumb af to be honest...connor didn't run and pick his shot... He walked them down.. Hands in the air Chuck Norris style ehh
Nah the other guy is just worst than the fighters conner fights now adays
His best flow state was the Alvarez fight no question
Casual fans be like "insert [Legendary fighter] is just like [trending on twitter fighter]"
Young Conor was incredible. Light on his feet quick with his hands.
The way connor sets up the kick at 1:41 perfection
This run that he was in was prime McGregor, so calm, accurate, and powerful.
Look at those footworks, the movement, that devastating left hand. Damn, missing prime Conor fr
He went full r*t*rd when he tried to become a boxer in MMA lol
His karateish approach was much better
conor's striking is incredible but what did it for me was when he was in his guard then did that transition into full mount, never seen it done like that
Dude hes still in his physical prime lol....we need a comeback
I wish it didn't pass by so fast. He was amazing when he was good.
That ground sequence was beautiful too. Leg drag - leg weave/dopemount. Beautiful
Prime Connor. Absolutely deadly standup and crazy precision. He’s gone off the deep end now but definitely top 5 all time in his prime
He's actually really amateur compared to Anderson silver
@@t-lawsfitness6044 hes really not
@@professor.cheekclapper6999 hhhmmm yeah he is. They ain't even comparable
@@t-lawsfitness6044 I would say Prile Connors striking is even more precise fluid and accurate than Silva, nostalgia makes things seem better than they actually where

This was the first time I saw Conor fight, just EPIC!
So meannnn
How is that mean

Love ya shit billy boi

@@alexnguyen1284 pause,,,
Honestly never heard of this guy until I saw this fight.
Don't hate on Siver. He's paid his dues.
Siver wants go home since the fight starts 🤣
So relaxed and so precise
This was impressive. He really was next level at his best.
Back when Rogan didn't scream with every shot that landed. In fact, some of these shots could've used an "OOOOHHHHH" here and there
He tagged him .
.he tagged himmmm

"Ohh he stunned him"
Great era in MMA. Made the sport what it is today.
Anyone gonna tell this guy or nah? Does he know UFC was well established before Conor lol
Agreed. Noticed I said era. And if you don’t think Conor was a huge reason why MMA is what it is today. Your a fool.

Love watching The Great Ones and when everything's Working.
mate that flowing setup into the head kick at 1:42 is crazy good
I was there that night in Boston. The energy was electric
Do not be fearful fight me come and clash with a Titan
That is pretty cool!
I also was there!
shocking
Proof?
He was something special back then. It all changed when he started to get all that attention and all that money. If he could have stayed humble the whole way through like a GSP or a Lyoto Machida, then there's no telling how long he could have stayed on top. He may have never beaten Khabib, but that doesn't mean Conor still couldn't have been right there at #2 or #1 in another weight class.
the attention and money led to cocaine unfortunately.
his arc actually exactly reminds me of tony montana
Every decision he made was perfect, even the questionable ones. It molded into what would become a great UFC story. He was a legend in his time but his time has come to an end.
He would never lose at featherweight their is no wrestler their only max could give him a problem
Nah he just ducked all the legit guys and fought the worst UFC LW champ of all time for the belt
Love you Conor!! Sending love n support from South Louisiana!!
Real Ring dominance.. the way he moves and fights.. very great
I don’t know why he changed his stance. This fluid karate style was so effective.
might be to tiring for him especially at 155or170
The evolution of the calf kick it changed the game.
Open stance fighters have been getting kicked into oblivion.
Lyoto Machida still fights with open stance and still getting W's.
@@simeonov0965 not on the ufc he's not
@@simeonov0965 thought he was retired years ago??
Siver was ranked at this point. That version of Dennis Siver wouldnt win a fight at 145 nowadays😂 the sport has evolved so much
That version of him nowadays would be unranked Bellator fighter
He was #5 i thought
siver was such an ordinary fighter... how did he even make it to the ufc?
@@skitzcunt4213 His spinning back kick is legendary, you know nothing.
Siver was a Volkanovski build tough and durable but with 0 of the fight IQ/Wrestling.
Mcgregors efficiency with his movements is crazy, he’s just built for fighting
What I remember most about this fight was in the lead-up Conor referring to Siver as “an odd gremlin-looking creature”. It still makes me chuckle.
People forget Conor was an elite striker. He’s known for his shortcomings more than his talent these days. But I’m hoping for the return of this Conor one day
not was, IS. you cant discredit his work just because hes lost his last 2 fights. the mans timing power and striking is some of the best the ufcs ever seen, TO THIS DAY
Lol he'd have to go broke to get the hunger back, no clue why people still wait for a dead conor. Move on.
I don't think we'll see that conor ever again. He sadly lost his focus after the Alvarez win. His distance management deteriorated significantly if you look at the poirier fights. But who can blame him if I would have that much money I probably wouldn't train as hard either
He’s still an elite striker.
Conor should go back to featherweight to be honest
I’ll never forget being 18 and so hyped about this fight after my first job watching with my step dad and brother. First Conor fight I ever watched I knew he was the real deal 🙂
I mostly like to watch 'Step dad seduces step daughter' scenarios on the internet.

The "Eye of The Tiger" Conor Era was amazing, but, since the Mayweather fight, he has never been the same.
Ego, wealth & influence has ruined Conor as a fighter & sportsman. He's successful financially but this post-Floyd career puts a serious dent in his legacy.
Lol yeah right. And what will you be remembered for btw?? Maybe you should try focusing on that first
u sound like u hating a little bit lmao. everything with floyd has only cemented him as an icon for MMA and combat sports alike. regardless on what ppl think
He wanted to be the Floyd Mayweather of MMA but didn't happen. Could have been the De La Hoya of MMA but didn't happen either because of his recent consecutive loses.

What is there to appreciate? Him punching a defenseless old man over not wanting his whiskey? Or maybe him disrespecting Dustin porier and his wife? Or no, let's appreciate him for being such a sore looser.
Conner was only the biggest name in the UFC, Conner was the biggest name in MMA.
What more "appreciation" could Conner have gotten?
@@tjm8994able what’s there to appreciate is that this man is one of reasons why so much people know about this sport.

I watched UFC back when the first Ultimate Fighter was a thing and watching that crazy finale. Saw some of Chucks reign. Life kinda got crazy being young and just living it up. This was the first event I’d watched in a long time and I haven’t stopped since. This night and the hype… good times.
Meh

Dennis Siver is a absolute beast the way he took those shots absolutely impressive.
Yeah those headkicks where brutal and that body shot at the end of the firsts I'd die lmao
This was like watching an artist at work, smooth as they come
Conor brought a lot of new eyes or casuals to the sport of MMA and UFC. Let's congratulate him for that
What a legendary rise to the top! A very unique UFC era!
Legendary? Bro are you on crack…

@@CaseysCollectibles actually it is legendary. Connor's absolute domination of the featherweight division was extremely fun to watch. had he stayed in the division and stuck to his roots we could be calling him the GOAT featherweight right now.
James Budd yeah but he’s a sellout… only did it for the fame. That’s all what if’s. Not actually facts… Aldo is the goat of that division bud.
@@CaseysCollectibles It's a shame that you actually believe that. Conors passion for fighting and deep interest in athleticism and movement is quite apparent, IMO. He just talks a lot of shit, but when he was plowing through the featherweight division, seeing him fight was like seeing a master of their craft creating a work of art.
The way he slips out of those takedown attempts was magical. I truly would love to see this Conor against khabib
Same outcome bro.
You did. He lost. Get over it.
@@squashhead1374 most likely but that's what makes MMA so great. Magic can happen at any moment.

es impresionante la manera como pelea, lo hace ver facil, con calma, sin afan, simplemente expectacular
Conor looking so calm and collected, it's insane.
Hungry Mcgregor was an animal. I truly believe he will never be this Conor again. He did everything. First 2 division champ in history, 13 second KO against #2 or 3 P4P fighter at the time, Top earning athlete in 2020. Its done. Its hard to be motivated when you are that rich and have achieved that much.
You have to have pure passion for the sport and I think conor lost it in a way. Look at canelo. That man makes over 30 mil a fight and hes still hungrier more then ever. Canelo even said he makes over 1 mil a month from his investments and he just fights out of the pure love of boxing. I dont think Conor truly loves fighting anymore.
He used to talk about martial arts with a passion Maybe it was just a phase
Hungry Conor lost to nate Diaz and joe Duffy. His ground game was exposed a long time ago
Conor’s motivation was never to be a complete martial artist. He just wanted to be filthy rich. So he used his singular weapon ( powerful left hand) to take him to the top.
The true martial artists of 155lbs Poirier, Oliveira, Khabib, etc can win a fight in so many different ways and aren’t doing it for the $$ but to be the best.
@@jjboss7896 he was always losing to khabib.. but I think he could've won against dustin if he was in his prime.
@@akhi5749 I agree with your take, except for the last one. Everyone's doing it for money and prosperity to some extent. It may vary for a fighter like Khabib. But the financial factor is always three. Porier chose Conor fight over title shot, why?
For some of the most notorious (pun intended) grappling in the UFC, that guard pass at 2:34 was smooth as hell.
I was hoping someone else noticed this, super high level and very fast
so clean
WOW!! The drum machine playing in the background is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Made a great fight EVEN BETTER!!! COOOOL!!!!!!
2:30 i love how mike just yelled over the two XD
Conor was so much more effective when he had a kick heavy attack. His foray into boxing really had a negative impact on his MMA career.
Yup 😔
Such a shame
He had leg injury
But not his bank balance
His fights and rise to fame, from defeating Siver, Max all the way to the Aldo fight....... there was nothing like it. He was even calling the rounds in which he would drop his opponent. He was unstoppable and his game was on point! He kinda lost it when he went after Floyd but best believe dude can still rattle dudes. It's just not the same explosiveness that he one had. Gotta love the guy for what he did tho......Bravo sir......Bravo
Its all rigged dude got paid to get beat up
@@speedballbustanutinc.4512
sure thing 😬
He didn’t lost it when he went against Floyd, he actually gained hi ultimate goal . That was the plan the whole way . His biggest talent wasn’t his fighting. His biggest talent was being a marketing genius.
Yes and I would've liked to see top Connor vs top Khabib
When Conor McGregor was first started in UFC he was really unstoppable nobody knew how to defend him nobody knew how to do anything because this skill level was better than everybody. The way he punched the way he kick that was just putting on a clinic in his earlier years in the UFC

Massive numbers turned up just to see Dennis Siver do the middle finger. Huge success.
Awesome performance and win. Opponent was cocky (no fist shake/bump) ... and even when the guy went down, Conor checked to make sure he wasn't already out instead of just beating on him (as other pukes do when the KNOW the guy is already out)...after he noted the guy was still trying, he went in for the kill. Honorable.

@@jjboss7896 i don't remember him being outclassed for two rounds before this fight of course he got beat before even ko but Conor completely dominated him
brutal but beautiful sport - hard fighting like in life
That was some focus rewarded handsomely with accuracy and no extra work..... great fight.
This man laid a foundation of what we are today

Man I miss the old Conor!! So amazing
Look at that footwork, the movement, that devastating kick. Damn, Siver was a beast.
Siver took that middle finger like a champ. Unfaze whatsoever.
It's really amazing watching next level fighters do their thing

The calmness was impressive
I miss that Conor McGregor so much those times were amazing
Insane performance. Well done
