@Smoker5739 10 месяцев назад

Conor’s biggest issue is he lost what made his standup game good. He adopted a boxing heavy style and became heavy on his feet. He use to be light on his feet and use his kicks to create distance and set up strikes and the pace of the fight.

@TheFN19 10 месяцев назад

he seemed to lose a lot of his speed in his recent fights compared to his 145 run. idk if its also bec of him going up in weight or also a result of him being heavy on his feet

@Daraptii 10 месяцев назад

@@TheFN19 I think its definitely him going up in weight and his cardio getting compromised as the result. The cut to 145 wouldve been detrimental to his health if he kept it up as he aged.

@bomboclaatpunaniman9387 10 месяцев назад

⁠@@TheFN19definitely because he changed up his style, arguably his best performance was against Eddie at 155 and he looked lightning fast in that fight. He boxed Floyd and fell in love with boxing, thinking that he can bring that back to MMA. After he fought Floyd is when that sparring video came out of Conor using that new high guard, planted feet, boxing heavy style and you see him get hit loads by his sparring partner. It's got barely anything to do with the weight. him light on his feet, unpredictable and pressuring his opponent into running into that straight left is by far the best Conor we've seen and he threw all of that out the window for a style that doesn't seem to work nearly as well

@themarketm8382 10 месяцев назад

Conor's style was never compatible with the new era of calf kicks. Look at his stance vs Aldo, Alvarez etc... in this era he would have been chewed up before he got into boxing range

@marwin4348 10 месяцев назад

MMA evolved a lot, the level back then was much lower. His style would not work as well anymore. He expends way too much energy doing wild kicks that don't do a lot of damage and hes very vulnerable to calf kicks.

Conor torned his ACL towards the end of the second round when he is trying to pass Max's guard. Which explains why he's going for more takedowns than usual in the third round.

Great decision making on the fly whilst suffering from a very painful injury. Fantastic fight between two legends of the sport!

9:58 mcgregor tears his left knee ACL there as he squeezes his leg out of max holloway's grip. The rest of the fight he finishes with a torn ACL. There's a video of Max speaking about this moment saying conor let out of a scream at that moment and he was asking him on the bottom "bro are you okay?" and mcgregor responded "yeah yeah mate keep fighting" 😂

Conor was so disciplined at this weight. Becoming so famous was his downfall. He just didnt seem like he had the same drive in the other weight classes even though he had some success over guys like Alvarez, Nate in the 2nd, and Cerrone.

@christaleearroyo4565 5 месяцев назад

I wouldn’t say that he moved up I. Weight to test himself. I mean he fought floyd got hella money and moved up to fight Diaz and yes he lost to khabib but he wasn’t hungry anymore frfr. It’s clear hungry Connor was way different than superstar Connor

Neither for or against Connor McGregor… but love him or hate him the excitement around his fights was real. Even if he was overhyped like many say, the energy around that man undeniable. Even if you despise the man, hIs rise up the ladder was wild.

@heroicjourney2508 5 месяцев назад

Overhyped ???? Aldo Alvarez Mendes Diaz Poirier Cerrone Holloway Mayweather (1st ever professional boxing match against one of the best ever) Just to name a few..... X2 times UFC champ. x2 times Cage warriors champ. ESPN fighter of the year (A few times). Highest PPV's in MMA history PLUS one of the highest PPV's in BOXING history. Overhyped ???? ..... Anyone say that, are casual!!! He isn't the Connor of old, and never will be again, 200 million does that to a person. But when he was on form, between 2013 and 2017 I believe...he was unstoppable.

@@heroicjourney2508 I didn’t say he was over hyped just said that many people say he is. Also I am a Casual fan and don’t see it as a negative. Anyone who’s an self appointed expert in sport is usually unbearable to discuss sports with. It’s why I stopped watching football because your expected to follow it like a cult and I’ve got better things to do than outsmart a know it all

@@MAJ0RMEL0DY no idea why you assumed my point was aimed at you, rather, at the 'overhyped' bunch you mentioned.

@@MAJ0RMEL0DY I'm also a so called casual, I think fanboying sport is for kids in honesty, I just so happen to know about Connors run as I was in that world during that time. But the casual dig meant more as, why do people speak on shit they have no clue of. That being said, peace 👊

@bryanchan8888 7 месяцев назад

Just as an FYI for those who may not know, Max was about 22 years old here and Conor was 26 I think, Max was relatively fresh and Conor was entering his prime. Yes, Max's win streak commenced after this fight but I think most fans agree, his prime wouldn't commence until the Cub Swanson fight which took place two years after this. But man you can really see how much Max's style evolved over the years, sucks we never got to see prime Max vs prime Conor.

@whitecloud3284 5 месяцев назад

I think Connor’s biggest advantage is his stance. He’s always upright with his head back which gives him a defensive range and keeps his eyes up and on his target. He’s always been extremely accurate because of this. Plus it shows confidence which is a big factor in any fight at any level. Also he keeps his legs wide and knees bent which allows him to quickly shift his weight when he needs to dodge a shot or put power behind his punches, and helps him to quickly change levels on his opponent. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s a southpaw.
