I found UFC boring before Conor joined it. He was the reason I started and kept watching it. His press conferences and fights were so entertaining. The 🐐👑
The first time I ever saw McGregor fight was when he lost to Diaz but you could see in McGregor's eyes that he didn't want to be anywhere but in that cage. No one else quite had that same look. Instantly made me a fan.
I became a ufc fan in 2018..so I watch this video and say to myself ''No wonder he became so great'' bcos the fight everyone 💯 expected him to loose turned out to be the record breaking fastest k.o in a title fight in UFC history till date. Damn! he shut the mouths of everyone.. now i clearly see where Colby Covington got his handouts from.. if he begins to knock people out and keep a streak against the elite as a champ, he could come close to conor's greatness for sure
and THIS is why he's a superstar. Not because he only took matches that worked well for him, but because he went into fights nobody expected him to win and did it with a smile on his face AND WON.
Every single person in the UFC owes Connor McGregor. McGregor understood the promotion game. He even understood that someone had to play the heel to get the drama going. Nobody promoted and gained popularity for the UFC like McGregor did. He is a great fighter, but an even better promoter.
That version of connor was extremely dangerous, he was so light on his feet and looked very alert, that straight left was one of the most beautiful punches ever thrown in the octagon😢
Connor predicted Khabib would win the light weight title and Khabib was about the only one who people laughed at when he said Connor was going to surprise everyone and beat Aldo 😅..
Mannnnnn I wish conor still fought like this. You can see the light in his eyes, he looks young and healthy, still full of energy. And Joe's comment hit the nail on the head... he looks so relaxed especially compared to aldo. It kind of makes me sad because conor doesn't have this same energy before his fights anymore. I really think the porier fight could've been one of the best beatdowns if it weren't for him breaking his leg. Both dudes wanted that win really bad, and that makes for a damn good fight. I really wish we could have got a full fight, regardless if conor won or not because we all knew it would've been a good one and we really could've settled the argument of who deserves to fight oliveira
I have to agree, i think he looked quite a bit like old conor against dustin. His kicks were on point, but he knew he had a stress fracture going in so i think he was careful, unfortunately he landed badly with a kick on dustins thigh, and it broke there.
Yup that was him at his best mixing in kicks (especially his nasty spinning back kicks to the gut).

he was completely demoralized before that bout. Aldo was not used to trashtalking that's why everyone hated mcgregor back then. He doesn't want to talk the way mcgregor did during the promo and it completely got in his head up until today to a point where he needed to seek help mentally. It was a tough one for us fans but commoners will surely love the hype mcgregor was giving dueing that time

Not true cause McGregor talked so much smack to khabib and disrespected everything about him, khabib hated him so much and khabib ended up destroying mcgregor
@@chrisziegler9646 Conor’s tactic is to get in the opponents head. It worked on Aldo and Alvarez but it didn’t work on Khabib or Nate Diaz. Diaz is still the only fighter to beat prime Conor.
@@chrisziegler9646khabib fought a connor who was rich and drunk still could not take him down till round 4 and used his grappling and choke via submission. He should have fought prime connor and proven his worth. The fact is khabib only second class fighters most of his life and the elite fighters were not in their primes when he fought them. He ditched tony and petiss and gsp whole time.
@@chrisziegler9646because khabib generally speaking isn't an emotional guy. Even though he probably wanted to kill Conor, he would still go about it in a calm and calculated manner. Khabibs whole style resembles the slow but cold killer. Aldo was running through guys. It's easy to see from their styles alone how the mental warfare could destroy somebody like Aldo, but make a fighter like khabib even stronger
@@detectiveMM honestly I don’t remember exactly if I’m being honest. But you had the iceman gsp and Silva absolutely holding it down and I seee the ufc pre 2013 being more brawling than strategic mma fighting.

They all disliked Connor, but didn't realize he brought so much attention to the sport he was literally the sole reason every single one of their fight salaries more than doubled...

Man i miss this mcgregor it was the most entertaining fighter ive seen
We have seen him since this fight. Just a alcoholic junkie
Facts
Yall must not seen a lot of fighters then😂
You better watch some more fights lol
Nah. Maybe if you just started watching but gsp, machida and a few more were better in that respect. He’s up there though
You could tell that Conor was having the time of his life in the ring and Aldo looked like he didnt want to be there.
Octagon*
Lol you are crazy if you think he didn’t wanna be there
He didn't wanted to be there. Proof is ... he left quickly.
@@bernieralexandre1107 Maybe if you put it another way. Conor looked like he was soaking it all up while Jose looked like he just wanted it over and done with. Definitely a high pressure moment for Jose!
@@brownsey1 I’m just saying those are high intensity moment , I don’t think you can judge this only by one persons look we feel different then we look sometimes
respect isn't given folks. lesson shown
Funny how Max's prediction was the most respectful. Actually gave Conor a chance. lol.
Conor smiling like he’s already seen this video 😂
He did before any of us in his head 😂
In the post fight prep he tells his coach in the locker room exactly how he thinks aldos gonna move and what hes gonna hit him with… he read him like a BOOK! Look it up
he did he visualized it, did the hard work and manifested it
You would be amazed to realize how real magic is in this universe
That’s a masterclass of “believing in yourself 101” 👊🏼
During that time McGregor's feel of the range and how quickly he adjusted and adapted was second to none. Beautiful to see
Connor with that death touch man. It was Historical
Connor before drugs, his timing was on a different level.
Conors confidence, skill set, passion and love for the sport was unmatched at this point. We will never see it again but man I wish we could have this Conor back.
In your dream
So many fans missed this moment. It was like no other moment in this history of the fight game. Gives me goose bumpsjust remembering this time period
Pretty sure everyone tuned in for this fight, what are you on about lol.
Long deek suck
i remember sitting in shock as Aldo went down. This KO lives in my head rent free
@@arlindblaze4148 no he's talking about the insane amount of people who became fans after this fight and after Connors main run. Which is a very large number lol. I had a ton of friends of became mma fans after Connors run.
@@Dgusting if they only watch for Conor they aren’t fans lol.
Starting this clip with uncle Joey was a tremendous choice
One of the greatest moments in UFC Championship fight history.
this karate mcgregor was his best
I like the diverse fighting styles, now everyone wants to do bjj and hug a man for 15 mins
@@Josef_Stylinwatch Panta. It’s a skill to keep someone down
@@ice1032 gay*
*145
He just lucky calf kicks wasn't a popular move at that time😂
“And aldo looks.. scared” 😂
he was completely demoralized before that bout. Aldo was not used to trashtalking that's why everyone hated mcgregor back then. He doesn't want to talk the way mcgregor did during the promo and it completely got in his head up until today to a point where he needed to seek help mentally. It was a tough one for us fans but commoners will surely love the hype mcgregor was giving dueing that time
@@lionliowne9545 "Commoners" cheek of it kid
@@bigdaddy3700 truth hurts. During his peak trashtalk days he never once defended his title bc UFC was booking the most hyped fights for connor. Normies will follow the herd as always.
@@lionliowne9545 I like Aldo and Conor. You're just weird and jealous/salty about his spectacular loss. Get over it ffs kid. 🤦🤣 x2 weight champ.
@@bigdaddy3700 i do like mcgregor, in fact I was one of the few winners during the odds who voted for mcgregor to win. But he did demoralize aldo and didn't defend the 2 titles which is the brutal truth. None of what I said was salty because it did happen with or without an opinion.
Connor is either the best or second best featherweight in UFC history
People forget how cold McGregor was
When you make your opponent hate you to the point he’s not thinking. Makes for an easy target.
Not true cause McGregor talked so much smack to khabib and disrespected everything about him, khabib hated him so much and khabib ended up destroying mcgregor
@@chrisziegler9646 Conor’s tactic is to get in the opponents head. It worked on Aldo and Alvarez but it didn’t work on Khabib or Nate Diaz. Diaz is still the only fighter to beat prime Conor.
@@chrisziegler9646khabib fought a connor who was rich and drunk still could not take him down till round 4 and used his grappling and choke via submission. He should have fought prime connor and proven his worth. The fact is khabib only second class fighters most of his life and the elite fighters were not in their primes when he fought them. He ditched tony and petiss and gsp whole time.
@@sauravsouravi5590what a lame take. What a lame excuse
@@chrisziegler9646because khabib generally speaking isn't an emotional guy. Even though he probably wanted to kill Conor, he would still go about it in a calm and calculated manner.
Khabibs whole style resembles the slow but cold killer.
Aldo was running through guys.
It's easy to see from their styles alone how the mental warfare could destroy somebody like Aldo, but make a fighter like khabib even stronger
I soooo miss 2015-2018 ufc. Even if you hated him those fight nights were soooooo intense and the antics just made it mania
Peak UFC
@@detectiveMM I’d say 2007-2009 was also super solid but a lot of people didn’t get into the ufc until conor
@@jwrailve3615 is that when UFC 100 happened? Because that was lit too
@@detectiveMM honestly I don’t remember exactly if I’m being honest. But you had the iceman gsp and Silva absolutely holding it down and I seee the ufc pre 2013 being more brawling than strategic mma fighting.
He’s the best entertainer in fighting history.. love him or hate him he made it possible for mma to be a mainstream international sport.. if it weren’t for Conor I think the UFC wouldn’t be as big as it really is now.. Not to mention the fight promotions in the ufc have always been killer.. 🥊🎤🎙️
Man nobody had Conor winning that fight, that was such a dope ass moment for Conor. Love him or hate him he shocked a lot of people that night!
khabib picked conor weirdly enough lol
Conor at 145 was a mythical fighter
That hunger, that motivation everything about him at that moment was just different
They all disliked Connor, but didn't realize he brought so much attention to the sport he was literally the sole reason every single one of their fight salaries more than doubled...
And damn, Connor was in his absolute prime during that fight.
His strikes were lightning fast. Especially the one that put Aldo to sleep. Could barely even see it.
So true!
only kids start watched this sport because of conor.. real fans like me brock, GSP, silva, mir, nate etc legend of UFC brought our attention to start watch this sport..
@@MA-hh1oh Doesn't have thing to do with Connor changing the game for everyone you mentioned.
@@MA-hh1oh isn't that a good thing? More attention to the sport
@@MA-hh1oh you want a cookie old head🤣🤣
The fact they can have 30 secs of hate and the full fight in one short is ridiculous
Khabib predicted this fight exactly "he 'McGregor ' maybe killed him 'Aldo'.
Prime Conor is something mf💀🔥🔥🔥
That was pure beauty to watch !
UFC wouldn’t be anywhere as big as it is at this moment without McGregor and he wouldn’t be anything without it aswell
Khabib was the guy that predicted that conor will finish Aldo while most of the people didn't believe in Conor.
Connor moved like a gazelle back then, it's incredible how effortlessly he'd hop around and outmaneuver opponents.
I’ll never forget this fight. Absolute madness. Seemed like it was straight out of a movie. As if it was ordained.
The only fight with that same kind of feel was Khabib Conor
@@Cp_9900nowhere near the same
@@Cp_9900 da fuck are you talking about , that shit was a complete snooze fest . They where hugging each other and rolling on the ground … most boring ass fight every they literally hugged the whole time lol
@@Cp_9900 not even close
This was peak conor.. his confidence was so high it literally gave him advantage
The short side-kick set up should’ve been clear with Mcgregors smile
Smiling before the bell😂
Conor be like- "One punch is all it takes, to make you kiss the floor" 😂😂
Khabib laughing in the corner
Lol
@@amirmaqsood4353 underrated
“OOOHHHHH! HE SLEPT HIM!” That shit went hard
You can't be an MMA fan and hate Conor, he put the UFC on the map and respectfully as a Khabib fan. 🤝
One of the best moments in UFC history 🍀🇮🇪
It never fails to amaze me how fast that punch was. It's barely visible in real time.
That's a fact. I had to watch it a few times to actually see it. It was lightning fast.
This Connor was 8 times faster than today's Connor
Wasn't the speed it was the timing.
@@thanksforthacheese5977 quit babbling beach and get ya English up
Conor was 40lbs lighter than today’s Conor.
O gets the square.
when you're this slow, it matters lil bro@@thanksforthacheese5977
He was in his mid 20s what would you expect
Thanks for posting the full fight
What’s insane to say is every conversation about that fight, lasts longer than the actual fight did 😬
Bro just made the hardest edit I’ve ever seen and thought we weren’t gonna say anything
You're a little kid
@@dukenukem69You're not far behind him.
@@funnfungusie9622 you're a 'tard and I'm right with both of you
Knockout while retreating. Absolutely amazing.
