It’s so weird not seeing Holloway trying to throw like 100 punches
@LowTierFallout I bet you he would
@LowTierFallout exactly . and max didn't throw as much punches with volk too
@@lohandesilva you’re forgetting the kattar fight . Which was after the volk fight. Also forgetting that kattar is one of the hardest hitting 145’rs
@@squigga6675 cap they goes to the goat Jeremy Stephens
@@ajmjl9102 true true. Buut never said he was the HARDEST hitting 145’er. Just one of them
Conor dismantling Eddie Alvarez was one of the most shocking and beautiful performances I've seen. I definitely was counting against Conor during that fight and the way his precision and movement completely destroyed Eddie made me appreciate movement and fluidity much more
Eddie said he didn't execute the wrestling heavy game plan as he got angered into standing with Conor.
Conor completely butchered and punished him for that mistake in a masterful performance. Perhaps even if Eddie tried to wrestle, the distance management would've meant Conor still destroyed him, but it would've been even more incredible.
I was literally going to comment something like this and use the word "dismantling" are you me? I don't even know who I am anymore, somebody please help me..
@@MrVibhas if you have ever watched eddie he uses wrestling as a defense not attack..he has always been a stand up fighter
@@thelegendaryboviceit’s okay bro, just know that if you ever thought you had an original thought some caveman though ts 40,000 years ago lol
I miss that Conor ,hate him or love him ,he was to beatiful to see
So u ghey
Gay
@@squigga6675 more women for us
145 cover best fighter ever idc what anyone says
Your spelling isn't beautiful
Ahhh yes. When Connor was actually looking like a PFP great and was demolishing fighters. How times have changed.
@@commentguy7 When did I say anything was wrong with him?
@@loganshaffer9090 u said time has changed...that sayz shit
@@commentguy7 Yeah cause times have changed😂 stupid. He’s not in the same place he used to be. He went from being on the pfp list with a huge fan base to now being massively hated. I think you need to review the English language before trying to call someone out.
@@commentguy7 You edited your comment and still seem like a dork. I wish you didn't edit it so everyone else would know.
@@masudkhwaja9458 So basically you just wanted to see a typo? I didn’t know it was dorky to correct a spelling error but okay.
The amount of flexibility and mobility Connor had... My god. Good old times for sure.
4:10 is one of my favourite engagements in the ufc, just so good at moving out of range and returning and doing it so quickly.
The one at 4:25 is beautiful
It's unfortunate, because that same sequence is what caused him to break his leg
@@0mfg0wntNah when he broke it he didn’t slide back he just took a backwards step and snapped. It was a stress injury already
Very well said
I will say this, I’ve been a fan of Connors since his first ufc fight, I was hype for every other fight he had after that one, and the tear that he went on.. from his first fight, to the Floyd fight, I don’t think I’ll ever be a bigger fan of anyone else, it was truly amazing.
this is when conor was legit .
man striking was beautiful. I'm hating his boxing heavy approach ever since he fought Floyd.
It’s great to look back at how special he was for those 2-3 years. What a run
We have a officially reached 7 days of asking for 3 minutes of Dominick Cruz being elusive in both footwork and words
anyways, Conor really was the Irish Bruce Lee but turned into the Irish stereotype. I just hope he doesn't get absolute washed if he gets the max holloway fight
He ain’t even washed. Prime Gregor would have still lost to current Dustin
@@abraralam7884 I meant in the "get absolute destroyed" type of wash, which max has the capability of doing so
@@abraralam7884 lol he'll not prime McGregor fucked Eddie Alvarez up and you think doostin can beat him casual kebob fangirl
@@Fakaa45 You conor fanboys really can't keep khabib's name outta your mouth lmao, the guy lives rent free in both conor's head and yours
@@sillyfella4477 lol you said the opposite, Conor live rent free in you muslims kebob fans lol
4:10 Jesus Christ, that's a master class of footwork, dude used to slide in and out flawlessly.
He has the perfect frame for his style at featherweight. For them to be more muscular/stronger wrestlers than him they have to be shorter which gives him striking adv. at lightweight they are bigger and longer than him so he has less reach adv and gets forced to work too hard in the clinch which tires him out
In saying that they kept him away from Edgar, Llamas, Bermudez & anybody else that was a top wrestler (with the exception of Mendes who took the fight on short notice)
His rise was nothing short of spectacular.
I believe it's be a long time til we see another human be famous enough to earn 100 mill taking a L in a fight.
Edit: The Eddie Alvarez finish is imo the best one ever.
The best video of your old channel, and I am not a Conor fan but this video is amazing.
Damn that bg music is lit 🔥🔥
legendary era, back when his mouth was backed up by his abilities
I absolutely love these niche compilations, keep it up. Thank you!
Yeah my man. Thanks again for the quick reupload!
This Conor was untouchable even khabib could not get to him. He was just unstoppable
lmao! khabib wouldve demolished any version of conor. he got taken down by mendes. he was always going to be easy work for khabib
@@themechanic4347 He had torn ACL against Mendes
That’s not how this works. Khabib is a nightmare stylistic matchup for Conor. It’s annoying af when MMA fans say “nobody beats THIS version of this fighter” as if that’s supposed to mean something. Khabib would beat even the Conor McGregor that faced Eddie Alvarez most times out of 10 simply because the stylistic matchup favors him.
@@user-kz7wj5fl9r its about the state of mind. He was unstoppable
@@tsardushan No state of mind stops a takedown and you getting mauled after that. Even if Conor was still in the New York state of mind in which he demolished Eddie, a fight with Khabib would have remained the same.
Featherweight Conor was based.
Hearing this song for the first time changed me lol
Man love him, he never takes easy fights. And his striking is my favourite of them all!
Fast, fluid, Karate, TKD movement, laser left hand. Will we ever see it again?
Idk if many people here have seen snatch but after Dustin said Conor was the hardest hitter he’s ever faced i’m fully convinced he’s like Mickey from Snatch
The one-sided beating he put on Dennis siver was something else
Just Beautiful, best style of fighting in all combat sports imo.
The "chasing greatness" McGregor Era was so hype. People that began watching MMA afterwards will never understand why it's so frustrating to us to see what McGregor turned into.I mean, I completely understand the guy, being a fighter is as hard a lifestyle as it gets, and someone that achieved greatness and a billion dollars doesn't need to do it. But I miss it...
The difference in size between featherweight and lightweight is hilarious
No matter how many times i see fight with Aldo im always amazed
Would love to see a Conor and Max rematch. Max would piece him up imo.
Definitely not early. But in the later rounds most likely
Max wins by decapitation
@@DubbleOh7 Conor would work max in the first 2 rounds and then as usual his gas tank will fail and he’ll start getting sloppy
I feel bad for conor. Imagine losing to someone who is a #1 ranked contender. And now everyone thinks that someone you already beat can beat you in a rematch based off that fight even though that person also lost to the exact same person you lost to. Poor conor 😢
@Jelly Punk go watch the first fight . If conor doesn’t catch him ( highly likely ) and hits pretty fucking hard , he could grapple with him .
Man that rear uppercut is a thing of beauty.
Look how happy Dana is at 2:43
Truly masterful.
not to forget his chin also was really solid
definitely. he took some bombs from Poirier in first fight, and he eradicated Poirier with one big left hand.
thanks brother
you’ve heard me
his performance against eddie is the best performance ever by a fighter, so relaxed and loose, smooth shots were flying off of his shoulders. Bueatiful boxing
i miss pre 2016 conor that was when it was special and exciting to watch him.
2:32 was a picture perfect straight left
even though he has been loosing recently but bring this man back to the octagon please!!! I want more of him
Conor: The master of “I can’t let you get close”
there was a time when conors striking was so crisp that it was impossible to get near him let alone take him down I hope we get one og fight of the old conor
It’s like looking at an inverse Michelle waterson
It's amazing to what happens to people once they've achieved their goals.
song? cant find this specific remix, only the original. Thanks!
That man is a Sniper...
AHH! What's the song name? The link you gave doesn't work!
Back when the man was an absolute legend.
He used to be one the scariest fighters...incredible power excellent footwork impeccable accuracy and high fighting IQ. You don't get that a lot now days.
pretty sure he's a beast in bjj as well, but we never got to see much of it
@@whacklp6120 He has a brown belt I'm pretty sure. Wouldn't say he's a beast, but he did submit Dave Hill who was a bjj black belt and showed some good grappling in the Holloway fight, so overall, pretty decent.
I feel like I need to stand up and do some irish tap dancing to this music.
I think one of the main reasons he was hated, aside from his mouth, was that he made it look so effortless. He made it look like you could just bounce around and tap people on the jaw to win a fight.
Only long-time fans of the sport understood how crazy it was that he was making beasts like Alvares look like amateurs.
135 conor Was so lethal👑👑👑👑👑..travis(coach) said true thing
Hey this is the song you used for the Paul Felder video! Please re-upload it!!❤️
I used to know that guy. Where is he now?
The look in his eyes was so conifdent
He put a lot of distance between him and a title defense that's for sure
Anyone knows the background instrumental please??
He looks like a Shell of his former Self when you watch him now Kids will never understand what it was like when he enterd the Fight Game he changed it for all Time everyone became Serious in Training he showed the Step to the next Level everyone started to take Boxing serious to get sharp Hands to learn how to manage Distance to train like a Pro not 1-2 Hours a Day like a Buum to realy realy take it serious he showed everyone what a real Champ looks like but he himself changed so much hes nothing to his former Self!!
He's only been beaten by prime champ level fighters Diaz choked him while he was gassed then got beaten over five rounds Khabib has beaten everyone he's faced and Poirier is also one of the best lightweights to ever draw breath he still smokes most fighters 😂
@@colin6543 and in comes the haters he smoked nate in the rematch, were you not watching 🤣
@@desslattery3457 that’s what he said dummy “he got beat while he was gassed then beat him over five rounds”
mctapper picture perfect
I haven't been following MMA for quite a few years and with all the memeing about him in recent times I honestly completely forgot how extraodinary a fighter he is.
Best example of it was against that bloke in the pub
I miss FW mac. Should and could have gone down as the fw goat.
became the two division champ like he said and some
Nobody, and i mean nobody, does uppercuts like McGregor, he really mastered them
They're always awkward and forced, with him obviously loading the uppercut way before he throws it. Even though he hits them with serious power most of the time, uppercuts are not his strong suit
@@whacklp6120 he has one of the best lead uppercuts in the UFC 😂 he's hurt nearly everyone he's fought with it.
@@jordantaylor8180 Like the double ups he threw agaist porier :D Best there is
@@whacklp6120 he hurt Dustin pretty bad with an uppercut in the second fight, hit max with a lovely one too, and Alvarez. It's been one of his most successful punches in setting up his left cross basically his whole career, can't understand why people just lie to put athletes they don't like down, that's you btw.
@@jordantaylor8180 I probably know of Conor before 90% of MMA fans did, and nobody said I'm not, o rwas not, a fan. You just said it's one of his most successful SETUPS to land his main tools, first yall said it's one of his best punches, now you say it's one of his best setup punches :D:D Second DP fight felt like it was going to be an absolute classic if it lasted, and Conor looked way better than DP. But the first one was an embarrassment.
McGregor finishing blow to Mendes is as perfect as a powershot gets.
Never been a better striker then prime Conor idgaf . Dude slept the champ in 13 seconds and then completely dominates the next champ fight up a weight class with pure striking beautiful head movement . Go watch that Alvarez fight sheeesh .
RIP Nate's scar tissue vs Paul.
Love Nate & he's getting paid....but damn....bring a mop on this evening.
He was sooo good in his prime. But then, that Mayweather fight happened, and after the Khabib fight, his stance changed to a boxing-esque stance.
In both 2nd and 3rd Dustin fights, his stance was a boxing stance, resulting in him being stiff and not loose like before.
@@shutupidiot6562 looked stiff as a tree to me. The old smoothness of McGregor is long gone. He fights stiff nowadays.
@@shutupidiot6562 hell to the no. That third fight he seemingly had his karate stance back. But he lost all his speed
I miss you 2016 McGregor 😢
Prime Conor was so sleek and just on point! Mayweather fight was the worst thing to happen to him for his career. Now he's just a name worth a lot of money, but is no legit threat to like Top 5 LW or even FW for that matter...but he could probably still take out a few lower top 10 guys maybe...
What the hell was Diego Brandao doing when he was just like cowering against the cage, weird reaction
he had a gas tank worse than conor's
diego was wobbled bad and tried to lean against the cage to not fall over and get finished edson barboza did the same thing aginst giga chikadze
Watching these highlights makes a part of me wish he would refocus and go on a tear
Link to music?
I think y’all missed out on some moments in the second Dustin fight
Notorious content 🔝☘️ 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Remember when he was focused on mma, good times
Used to have no wind up and threw his techniques effortlessly.
What's the name of the music?
“3 minutes”
* video is almost 5 minutes 💀
Regardless of some of the shit things he has done in his past, he is MMA. He may not have the hunger anymore but who does when you have enough money to spend for 50 lifetimes. He truly brought MMA to the mainstream, he is the face of the sport. I've watched MMA since the early 2000's and never seen anyone bring this much hype to the sport. The true king of MMA.
So he's getting back to cross training in Karate. At featherweight he trained with olympic taekwondo artists as well.
He's training at big bear, which is great for his conditioning.
I can't give up hope in Conor, why??
Because he's the only fighter who could ever have the capacity to surpass Jones. Conor's financial acumen is crazzzyy.
If he went GSP mode and used it to cross train in every olympic combat sport with the best olympians in each one he would be a phenom.
Conor is the only person who could go down a dark hole of losses and just be like, alright let me get serious with my grappling weaknesses and train with olympic freestyle and greco roman wrestlers, and judokas because he has the money.
Finally a video that isnt goofy that reminds people how good conor is, and how good he can become again. Think of anderson silva’s rise and hes in his fucking 40s
What’s the song?
what is the song name
What ever happened to the old channel?
Copyright strikes.
@@notasilicaanimus Somehow I got a copywrite claim on an unlisted video I upload of me hitting pads working with my coach. YT is dumb
@@re1ser_f175 did u use a soundtrack?
If Max loses to Volk this weekend I would love to see a rematch with him and Conor at 155 in December
Conor sacrificed this when he signed that 100 mil contract to fight Floyd
“Conor’s incredible distance management”
Shows clip of him getting choked out
He distanced himself from a win, perfectly.
We're into the 6th year since this guy got his last real win and or back to back wins and people really think hes still got it..
Didn’t know January of 2020 was 6 years ago that’s crazy asf
@@gabeascencio2656 Cerrone ain't even ranked man get real..
@@gabeascencio2656 And BTW including Cerrone its still the 6th year, no wins in 2017, 2018, 2019, 1 win in 2020, none in 2021 and now 2022.
When he actually cared 😅
You'll never see this fighter again. Ever.
💔
All in the weight bullying days where of course he can distance manage that well and also nothing later than 2016 lmao
Khabib took his soul
Ronaldinho of mma for sure, nowadays hes the laughing stock but remember that jedi knight masterpiece against alvarez, doing the statement that aldo one wasnt a fluke
To the FBI agent reading this .
Freeze his bank accounts , we need this McGregor back.
yes conor managed his distance like a champ while getting submitted by nate... why was that in the video lmao
I think we fucked up with Conor big time. If he had continued to fight consistently after Cerrone I think he wouldve had another dominant run.
file these under old Conor ...new conor plods forward and throws shots
Perfection, just perfection. The calmness, he’s in control of everything.
Before you could ever realize that he’s about to throw a shot its already landed🔥🔥🤌🏻
He really stopped using his legs.
