Crazy how both of these guys faced off as up and comers and then year's later they are both world-famous fighters who destroyed their division and competition
@Ray Escort wtf are you talking about? lol :D McGregor wiped out the featherweight division beating the only undefeated champion for 13 secs. Max got beat by Dustin also. So what? They are both great fighters and legends of the sport
@Ray Escort conor mcgregor was never defeated in the featherweight division in the ufc, and became the champion by winning in 13 seconds. I would call that a complete domination
@Ray Escort casual, Conor is the biggest superstar of UFC, the first double champ beat a lot of good fighters and has only 3 loses ( lost to good fighters) and now everyone thinks he’s a bum. Conor deserves a title shot again
6:58 on slow mo Mcgregor sticks out his right to get a reaction out of max, he see's max wants to parry and feints a Jab out. McGregor makes the read then baits the parry out of Max and then comes with his signature lead uppercut under the jab. Awesome stuff
Max went the distance with Conor at a time where no one could get out of the firsf 2 rounds with him. Didn't even get knocked down, still hasn't. The closest guy to do that to Max was Dustin Poirier, funny.
@@henrychinaski5938 And if you only show up when you're comfortable to fight and pull out when you can't make weight you can't be called the greatest . Gotta admit conor always shows up when there's a fight and makes weight no fucking excuses . Before the mendes fight he tore his ACL but still showed up . khabib has only 3 fights against the top 5 . Even tony was undefeated but he got old and lost 😂 Khabib time was coming so he ran away .
Funny thing is Conor looked like death at 145 just because he has a big, bony head, but if you were actually a fan of MMA in general you would realize he only cut 20-25 pounds max to.make that weight as we walks around at 165-170. That's an average weight cut and he never missed weight. Meanwhile you had guys like Khabib who walked around at 200 pounds ( right now 220) and risked death by cutting 50 pounds to avoid their natural divisions like welterweight, khabib face didn't show it because ir is wide and fat, right now he looks like.a bear. Khabib might be a better fighter, but I respect guys that look forchallenges and bad matchups to porve their greatness. McGregor fought at 3 divisions and took Ls, but he always walked in to fight
@@christiangerster7089 Conor still has it he just needs to get his shxt together. i believe he underestimated Poirier especially after the first round, he was thinking to make a show out of the fight to kind impress Khabib but Dustin was a lot more focused and landed the deadliest shots at the right time
@@achrafabbes1403 I agree with you and not saying he doesn’t have it anymore just hit me he’s not like 27 anymore he’s in his 30’s is all I was like oh damn we only have like 3-5 years left of Conor, Dustin, Max, etc.
@@christiangerster7089 yea i see what u mean, well the bright side‘s we get to see him climb back up in the rankings again like the old days haha coz there‘s no way he’ll get a title shot next
@@achrafabbes1403 yeah the roster would riot lol but I was very happy in the post fight when he said he needs more activity I really hope he doesn’t do any more boxing bouts
Max has an ungodly chin. He's taken the most head strikes in UFC history and despite facing some heavy hitters still hasn't been knocked down even once.
He’s calm and composed now bro. Only difference is that he seems satisfied. In his entrance vs Dustin we finally saw him take it all in. He genuinely seemed satisfied and happy. He did perform well but he does seem like he’s truly okay with what he’s accomplished
@@YEDxYED nahh he's not just hungry anymore like old times . Because he's got everything now. He's doesn't need something to motivated and thrive for. Maybe he's will go bankrupt and don't have any money then we'll can see old Conor back. But either that would happen. Man is the highest paid athlete rn.
I just went back to see and my god how times have changed. This fight was about 8 years ago in 2013. It was the Prelims Co-main event. Conor made 24 thousand dollars with a 12 thousand dollar bonus, meaning he would've made 12 thousand dollars if he lost. Max made 14 thousand dollars. Times do change
This is one of the best playlists on CZcams. I've went through it dozens of times now. Old Conor was magical. From 2013-2018 ish. Hes broke umpteen records, just a shame he never defended a belt 🤦🏻♂️ even cage warriors.
Boxing wise,i still think there's a difference.Max might not be on the same level as Conor boxing wise,but i'd still put him third after Conor and Adesanya
He's the reason why everyone is wearing sunglasses and full suit to every presscon and post fight interviews. He reallu changed the way MMA, in just 3 years in the UFC he managed to put UFC to everyone's interest love him or hate him. UFC got sold 4.2 billion because of him, well not entirely but let's face it, 2013-2016 Conor is the king.
2:58 Connor looks so awkward 😂 Holloway is also the only fighter in feather weight who was taller than Connor, porier was the same height too, so Connor didn’t only face little guys.
Imagine having such big crazy tattoos now that when people look back at an old video of you with a huge tribal thing down your neck and spine they say “no tattoos” hahahh
I miss these days I was a freshman in high school I was a fan of mma for a year barely figuring out what’s what who’s who thinking conor was all hype after the porier fight I’m like ok he might be something
weird how max was like the only fighter conor was actually respectful towards back then
It's because max respected him too. Every1 else called him a fraud and talked shit
@@marklower007 exaclty , conor only talks sht when he has to, also he was respectful to a lot of people after defeating them like nate Diaz
I think its impossible to talk shit to max and not look like a dick lmaoo.
I've just gained a lot of respect for Max watching this. Guy seems really down to earth.
@@bsnp1x5l63 Max is still very likable to this day. He always shows respect and gives all fighters their props
Crazy how both of these guys faced off as up and comers and then year's later they are both world-famous fighters who destroyed their division and competition
@Ray Escort man made 55,000 a second against Dustin because he sucks ? He lost and still made more then Dustin 😂
@Ray Escort has max been champion??? Ooooo
Yeah one of them got so confident that he defended his title too!
@Ray Escort wtf are you talking about? lol :D McGregor wiped out the featherweight division beating the only undefeated champion for 13 secs. Max got beat by Dustin also. So what? They are both great fighters and legends of the sport
@Ray Escort conor mcgregor was never defeated in the featherweight division in the ufc, and became the champion by winning in 13 seconds. I would call that a complete domination
The fact that Max is a veteran of the UFC and isn't even 30 is wild.
Facts
He’s gonna be like Jon Jones. Fighting different era of fighters.
When McGregor didn’t have a fashion adviser
Its the money
he looks like a kindergartener on yearbook picture day
Walmart vs. Wall street.
Nobody in that press conference did 😭😭😭 except the goat Chael ofc
Look at everyone’s clothes lol I don’t think you realize this was 2013
What's even more impressive is the fact that Conor teared his ACL completely and still dominated all three rounds
Not to mention when he came back and fought Brandao after surgery. He looked amazing

Both legends.
6:50 conor dodged that right hand from Max lighting quick
crazy to hear dana white saying “conor still has some work to do” given the current context of today
I think Conor is getting CM Punk for his next fight. Can't get a title shot on a loss.
@@77jesseday not true, it’s gonna be Dustin vs Conor 3 for the title

McGregor outclassed Max, but, he did not KO him when he was knocking out everyone at that time. Bonus points he respected Max.
conors acl was blown out

When real recognize real. They both could sense the other is a problem.
These are the best types of best moments

Max is Ultra Extinct Now.
Boxing wise,i still think there's a difference.Max might not be on the same level as Conor boxing wise,but i'd still put him third after Conor and Adesanya
Awesome footage 👏
Knowing about conor shredding his knee and seeing his leg just wobble around after catching that kick is kinda hard to watch.
Chael and Shogun sitting there looking pissed as fuck after the fight lmfaooo
Would love to see this run back now.

"how moch mooni is enough mooni?" -Conor McSocrates

Still the same McGregor he's just getting started no screaming but he still has the intensity
7:49 he looks like a pouncing tiger here. From the expressionless face to the way he lunges in with his punches. Looks like two tigers fighting
Why wasn’t the torn acl and mcl mentioned? Did they not know till later on?
back when Conor looked like he lives in the gym, no balloon or american fewtball.

I’d love to see a rematch between these two.
This was the best mcgregor. On the rise, hungry and genuine
everything felt real, now its all just a money thing
You don’t work for honor, you work for money. It’s the same for everyone.
he was hungry bc he was trying to stop living in poverty. when you work from welfare to on route to be a billionaire ofc the same hunger isnt there.
