@@darwinn8333 You missed the entire point lol. Of course a professional MMA fighter will bend someone elbow like that with a kick. I mean, did DC expect not even feel the kick?
Seeing Conor up there with machida, jones, silva, rousey, and then seeing the company today is crazy. He was really fortunate to blow up when he did. Right at the tail end of the classic era.
I believe he impacted the fight game like Tyson ,Ali Floyd he could sell fight only few men can do it like these people could you want him to win or lose but everyone’s watching him a shitty example jake Paul few fans but everyone watches him hoping he gets ko ed that’s why McGregor is the billy goat of ufc
Ofcourse, the man's been obsessed with mastering and learning every aspect of pure unarmed combat ever since he started. McGregor on his way to his desired goals before accomplishments was a tornado passing and only slacked off after he accomplished those goals he'd set, but again refocused after a huge loss to arguably the best lightweight of our time and realised what uncommitted work lead to, fast forward and here we're with that same berserk McGregor about to scrap with Dustin, this time at 155, both fighters are waaaay different and improved. This fight is gonna be a striking masterpiece.
@@grimmywizard to me he looks done, lacks hunger, unable to go through the trenches anymore. 100 plus mil in one fight, the cheques from the other fight, whiskey money sponsor money, lord knows what other enterprises and endeavours. Its hard to get through the trenches, weather storms and come back now. In Diaz 2 he had something to prove so he did it, there was still hunger, will to win and demons to conquer. That time will never return now. The Khabib mauling is PTSD worthy after all the shit talk getting humbled like that, and the Dustin fight just showed the post 2017 and beyond trajectory of both men fighting wise. Dustin keeps levelling up, ate his best shots and butchered him. Conor is now the type to roll over after some calf kicks and a couple hooks. To me he looked weak. 5 years ago he would have found a way in that fight. He just looked like he rolled over. Ye the leg was done and the technique is deadly and blah blah blah, warrior spirit i Doesn't come easy for a rich man.. remember that. The game in general has levelled up now, conor just isn't as hungry, consistent or venomous in the octagon anymore. Conors career needs a reset. We know longer need to see Connor roll in to big fights against the top lightweights. The best cure for Connor is to go back to that karate type in and out fluid stance, start by fighting someone way down the rankings and out of the top 10. 2 more fights in the top 10, then get in with a top guy mid to late 2022 then maybe a belt if he's good enough. Activity and victories build confidence, create the killer instinct again.. even if they're against lesser guys. Its doable, fighters have these renaissance periods. But one unchangeable factor is that the money in the bank inevitably lessens desire.
If he was in it they probably make him do a horrific glasgow accent like that other Dubliner they got never wanted to be sick so much in my life listening to that accent, shreks accent was better 😂
@@SuperLio333 you misunderstand the meaning of a journeyman mate. Conor mashAllah achieved records and money before he hits his prime, in other words, he finished everything too early. Job is done.
Even though I'm German I really dont like Siver (hes russian btw lol) but the translation was just wrong, he was very calm and I think that the UFC wanted to bring some heat in it. He never said that McGregor is a bad fighter.
that kinda pissed me off too (also german, also dont like siver). The thing is nobody really gives a shit about siver enough to care, which is kinda sad, but trying to be the humble laid back underdog against a man with the presence of conor is just impossible. But about the wrong translation, i think there was a very similar incident after Conor's fight against Aldo. i dont fully remember but apparently in the Octagon interview Aldo was being very humble and respectful towards Conor and the "translator" just said shit to make Aldo seem like a bitter Loser. Unacceptable but sadly most people will never know about these things.
No body I mean nobody does it better than McGregor, From top to bottom! Nobody will ever come anywhere near close to the status he reached, McGregor is the UFC
@@ohmygod_rickey Have you seen him recently? well before the khabib fight,dude got humbled I admit but he was too cocky and felt like he can just comeback and do whatever he wants and didn't have the ufc at heart, compared to back years ago watching this video, His heart was in the ufc back then.
@@OhCrxzeh he said that he dont like his predictions and that why he said it, they wrote in the second part that he thinks that conor is not a great fighter
@@OhCrxzeh yes i am from Germany and Siver said that he is a calm Person and that he does not like all these drama and these mean comments before a fight. In not a Single Sentence he was saying that Conor is a bad fighter.
@@droulw.6574 typical media, adding spice instead of the raw stuff to create more drama for the sheeps watching to fool and manipulate however they want them to react.
Became a MMA fan at ufc 194 My jaw dropped as I see this man KO a man in 13 seconds Say what you want but we can all learn a lesson from Mcgregor in his 20’s
Conor knew cowboy would be an opponent down the road, and probably didn't really want to get too friendly, but didn't really have any reason to be an ass either. Cowboy of course is just friendly with everyone.
Not sure if you know but tyson blew a $100 mill in less than 2 years.. pretty positive, especially in today's inflation conor could spend that all on jet & yacht
@@grimmywizard Siver said that he didn't like trash talking. Siver also said that Conor talkt so much trash that no one in Featherweight like him anymore. Furthermore siver doesen't like fight predictions. He maked clear that he and Conor never gonna be good friends and that they be totally diffrent.
@@droulw.6574 thanks for the correct translation. Typical manipulative media spicing raw shit to fool the sheeps watching into believing and making them react however they want.
Mcgregor was different then. He was right the shape he was in was crazy. His athleticism was never higher. His flexibility was prime and even his legs looked like an animals haha cuz he was throwing so many kicks and practicing them non stop. He fell in love with boxing and had to have sone type of injury after Diaz 1 because he stopped bouncing and toned down his footwork and def downgraded his flashy high kick usage immensely. He never missed but the cut always looked scary by weigh ins, but there was something about his speed at that weight that was remarkable. He got the silk underwear then made so much he couldn’t spend it all to stay hungry 😂 gotta respect him for chasing the toughest fights and never running in the cage
A huge reason he was so good at 145 is due to his reach and size, he was one of the bigger featherweights. When he moved up, he didn’t always have a reach advantage and bigger guys could take his power more easily.
While his win was impressive , I still kinda wish it would’ve been a war , 3-4 rounds and then the KO . But it was a historic win the way it went down .
McGregor's trash talk was so on point back then. He seems awkward on camera lately. Just repeating the same 'I'm glad to be here. You're going to see a great performance in that octagon' line over and over.
I agree w u on this. U could tell he doesnt have that same fire he had. Old conor would of never stayed up against the cage and let dustin Tee off on him. I really don't think we'll ever see that conor again.
He used to be a lot more 'funnier', and with his accent becoming a lot more thicker after the Mayweather fight, he no longer sounded funny as well. All the rape cases against him and the flak he received from the khabib fight has limited a lot of what he can say or do
I think having his first child changed him, changed his perspective about life, he left that period where he was hungry, motivated.. after whooping alvarez everything changed money got into his mind, even him losing any fight was ok because of huge fanbase still supporting him like a mad ruler.. Crux: he's a buisness man now
I'm here after the Poirier defeat. Classic Conor was the pinnacle of UFC and says a lot about how the world has changed since 2015-2016. The world was fresh for Donald Trumps and Conor McGregor to casually take over in grandiose style but I feel that something precious without pretension is the only way to do so now.
Lv looking BK at these McGregor clips he will always be the game changer bro not one bit boring either all the fighters have der own character now because of the notorious 💯
Crazy to see Ronda up there with Conor sometimes I forget that they had the same hype at one point in time. Crazy where both there career paths went. Conor boxing mayweather, and Ronda in the WWE
His 4th (I'm sure) Fight in UFC achieves #9 ranking in a pretty stacked division, most fighters would be loving that, top 10 in a few fights. Not Conor tho, ohh no, he doesn't give a shit about rankings as far as he's concerned he's No: 1. His confidence and vision is and may be always unmatched. I mean he starched his first 5-6 opponents in first round bar Max. And predicted every one almost to a tea. He's definitely lost it now but look at how many records he set. "People's main event, first fight I think, helwani fans chose this I believe. Braking gate records within a couple fights. Made America, fair enough it was Boston with the Irish heritage, but they supported him probably ten fold compared to Holloway, an American 😂. Featherweight interm belt on his 6th fight. Unified them in the very next fight against, not my words tho he was good, the pound for pound best there ever was. 13 seconds. Jumped to welterweight to take on one of the toughest dudes out there. Took lightweight belt in absolute style in his first lightweight fight in UFC. To become the first champ champ, holding them together for another record. This is where I believe he lost his way. Leaving to box the world's most talented defence boxer, tho he done not bad and it was for the paycheck for him. Everything after this is not really worth mentioning 😂 as he's been beat numerous times. Still set numerous records time after time with ppv buys. This will be some read I can already tell 😂 Love that, what a comment 😂
