Why McGregor vs Chandler is MAKE or BREAK for Conor’s Career… 

Remember to hit the link in the description to watch the fight live in crystal clear HD on DAZN from 8pm on the 20th of April Eastern Time or Sunday 1am in the UK!

You can't compare a post fight press conference when Dana mentions McGregor v Chandler to a promotional event hyping the Mayweather fight, totally different situation. In fact, this was pretty much the only time Dana has screamed out a fighter's name like that, b.c he was McGregor's promoter for the Mayweather boxing match, a situation he's only ever been in once.

I will believe it when Conor starts walking to the octagon

Mr. Estrogen 😂😂😂

Connor has been fighting himself for the past 3 years

A PRIME Conor McGregor would beat Micheal Chandler, similar to how featherweight McGregor beats Chad Mendes

he can always resort to eye pokes like Chris Eyedman if all fails

Dana looks like he was about to pop a blood vessel in his head introducing Conor lmao 😂

Atleast chandler doesnt have to wait anymore 🤣🤣

lol that clip on Dana yelling Conor lol

Chandler is going to come out the gates like a mad man & unless Connor catches him early he’s toast.

the fact mcgregor still wants to fight tells me that mcgregor is a badass

Great video Brian, buzzing for this fight should be interesting

I disagree. I think they was respecting UFC300 and at the same time casually releasing what everyone wants. Or what they think what everyone wants

I want to see Conor vs Max 2

Even if his last fight against Max for the BMF.. it would be strange seeing him sign of with the BMF belt and never defending that one too

Hey, thank you for the video. Will you make a video about Beterbiev vs Bivol?

Mcgregor is washed up 2024 - No wins 2023 - No wins 2022 - No wins 2021 - No wins 2020 - 1 win 2019 - No wins 2018 - No wins 2017 - No wins

Chandler is not tiny for the weight class - cuts down from 185. He’s very stocky and strong . Height is not the only way of understanding weight classes

If mcgregor loses only thing that would make a bit sense is a rematch

How are u comparing him announcing the fight at a post fight press conference to him announcing him at a weigh in/press conference Whatever it was. When do u see someone shout like that at a post fight presser?

Mcgreggor had an interview not long ago can’t remember who with and he mentioned how ufc hadn’t been in touch with him and he had no idea whe he was meant to be fighting and it was a huge interview he also basically said he wasn’t sure what he was doing after the 2 fights so maybe that’s why or maybe he just doesn’t have the trust from Dana anymore

your analysis videos are something else mate, great to watch

chandler is the easiest comeback fight he can have and even then I dont know if he will win , that says a lot

I totally agree with you fella i do really want to see it and do have more or less the same view as you on this situation nuff Respect E-TRON!

Brian pumping out the videos 💪

no matter how hard you train there is always an element missing and thats adrenaline.

Geordie your analysis is bang on mate

great vid again bri

If Chandler beats him then i think Mcnugget only has one fight left on his contract and it will be against Dustin or Nate and then that will be him finished / unless by some miracle he beats Chandler then he will fight for the BMF or a title shot and then he will ride off into the sunset.

The UFC is afraid that they can’t the announcement a secret if it is part of the PPV.

Love your UFC coverage brian

The fact this is at 170 makes it more winnable for Connor for sure

Listen, BET THE HOUSE on Chandler to win, Conor is a washed up drunk, he is finished

Would like to see you react to the matchroom vs Queensbury 5v5

I don't think the video tag is correct. He's already made it so if he loses and retires the next day you can't say the fight broke his career

I disagree, ufc will still do anything for Conor. You compared two completely different situations mate

“Conor relied on speed back in the day”… Looking at previous interviews, I think he still does 😂 Seriously though - very interested to see where this one goes. You’re on the nail about his athleticism after such a long lay off and recovery.

Bro, he could come back okay if he focuses on tight pack house head defence also. It's not that he needs to work on offence. I'd love him to look great, man he was and still holds that megastar, cheers bro from New Zealand 🎉

Been a Conor fan since day 1. Yeah he’s had his ups and downs (recently mainly downs) if this is his last fight as much as Chandler is a nice guy and great dad and role model I hope Conor smokes him and rides off into the sunset.

0:49 Geordie’s reaction to Dana 🤣

dana did the same introduction for ufc 300 main event, at a post fight press conference

Last fight,he’s got 2 left on his contract

Interesting Paddy power are giving them BOTH 9/10 odds.

After so much sputtering buildup it is an afterthought compared to how spectacular 300 was.

They can’t take the risk of doing a big song and show because they can’t guarantee he turns up and fights

I’d argue that Chandler has way more power than Dustin. Dustin walks just over 170, Chandler weighs 190 normally. No way could Dustin have more power when there is that much of a weight difference between him and Chandler.

Do these UFC fighters leave the hardware in the leg/ankle (pins & rods) when they go back fighting, or they get the removal surgery?

You completely misinterpreted the Dana announcement

Tony was great on the feet and had an endless stamina, but unfortunately his prime finished a long time ago.

Connor hasn't got the chin for Chandler, imo

I'm not an athlete or a fighter. But I do wonder, with both Conor and with Ryan Garcia. Is a partying life-style really that detrimental to your performance as long as you get in camp in good time and reverse those habits? These guys are obviously performing at peak elite levels, but at their ages (20-35), is it really that important what you did with your body before a camp? The camp shapes you into the guy you'll be on the night, not your entire life before that. Or am I off by a mile?

It’s not his final fight unless he hurts his leg again, he’ll still have 1 fight left on his contract and will probably go to do gimmick fights

McGregor has no interest in fighting Chandler. Diaz, Poirier or even Max would be much more appealing, but he did TUF to stay 'relevant' so here we are.

Big Up Brian 💪💪🥊

Excellent vid

lets wait if the fight even actually happens. i still doubt it

the biggest difference is if conor comes out aggressive like the dustin fights, or he goes back to his counter striking days, key difference in his fighting style which fucked him over

Tony is a legend of this sport....

Yeah the before and after announcement of his fights is hilarious. 😂

Co main event K. Chimaev vs S. Rakhmonov Do it dana

Of course it’s make or break for his fight career atleast, he will still be a successful human being in other ventures , but yes if he gets beat down by chandler, and that’s very possible, it will honestly be time to move on to other things

Personally I wish they announced it and gave him another 8 weeks on top to prepare and mindset, who knows he may get cut in camp 👀😆🙋🏻‍♂️

True Georgie can not go one episode without stating that Conor McGregor called him out, he has to mention it, he loves it, he loves my comment saying it, it makes him feel good that Conor knowledged him, he makes out oh I don’t like him because he called me out, what he’s actually saying is guys Conor noticed me and called me out, he wouldn’t notice me when I was a fan and it made me angry so I turned on him and now I got noticed, but it is masked by him trying to make out he doesn’t like Conor cus of it, when really he’s announcing and celebrating it

Why can’t Mcgregor just have a couple easy tune up fights before going against a top 5 guy? he’s setting himself up to fail by having 3 years of partying, a leg snap, then going back in against top level competition. I think it’s entirely reasonable if he went back in against a lower level guy and just see how high he can climb back up. Pro boxers often have easy tune up fights. Mcgregor should swallow his ego because starting low and building up is probably his best chance of climbing high again, not diving in at the deep end after being so inactive AND coming off losses

Best fight channel by a mile

Between the leg injury 3 years ago and the partying that tank is on E.

The best thing Conor can do when he returns is to completely avoid throwing low leg kicks, it was never really his style to begin with so he needs to just remove those entirely, it’s not worth getting hurt really bad again

"Who scolded you with a kettle" Forever goated

I believe Conor's odds are 50/50 his had a major leg injury and his spent hree years out of competition doing work on a movie. No one knows how much sparring he's been doing. Whether he's gonna have the necessary conditioning in time or the timing. He arguably has been doing coke, drinking and partying most weekends since that Poirer fight and that takes it out of the body. Chandler has been constantly in an out of competing and in out of fight camp, gaining valuable experience even though he lost his fair share he's treating himself better than Connor has been. Having said that, Connor does have the skills and power to get the job done. The thing is though mcgregor needs to not be as a stationary as he was in the Poirer fight. He needs to look for counter and not stand in the pocket. But dufe Chandler has the size and strength to take Connor easily he's one strongest lightweights in the division. Have you not seen how he easily manhandled Poirer and Gaejthe? He's definitely stronger than Connor by a mile. If Connor gets the job done it will be first ror second round k.o and will go similar to the Alvarez fight.

Connor still relies on speed though 😂

bro love the video but your camera transitions are awkward AF

Conner might have a chance against other retired fighters but not active ones now... he not won against a solid oponent since 2016...

The Blue print has been laid out. Chandler knows what's coming. Weather the storm. Move to the right Go for a take down as he will prob get it. Just get Conor into the second round and start working him. Chandler has been in wars. If he pace himself he will outlast Conor and will prob get a KO or force Conor to take him down so Chandler can then get a sub. One thing Chandler shouldn't do is get star eyed.

Chandler did an interview & literally spilled everything. Training, game plan, what he expects & doesn't expect, etc. There's no way Conor is going to lose if he watches it or has watched it. & I don't mind Conor sparring like that in a training session. He doesn't give anything away. Why would you want to show that you still have it if you actually do? It would be a giveaway on how to beat him.

Weird take with the mayweather comparison.

This is chandlers big moment, he's been wanting this fight probably he's whole career, he' gone come in ready in give a 110%, its gone be a hard night for Conor. Though, Conor knows what is what, he knows what waites him in that cage, i dont think he will go in if he dont feel ready. Atleast i think it can be good entertainment.

100% well said !!

Love you Gordie but just one to think about……..Tony was a savage on the feet

Do you just not understand how weight works chandlers not tiny for the weight class he’s short for it but he’s also very stocky for it and I’m pretty sure chandler bullied dustin before getting caught

I don’t think the ufc would be happy about chandler making it a wrestling match. And make no mistake, Conor chose 170 against chandler for a reason. Because he’s small. I predict chandler looks slow compared to Conor. Chandler shouldn’t have agreed to 170

I think with conor, you can never write him off, i thought against dustin he looked sharp it was only a choke attempt that put him on the Canvas, if he is 100% focused he will win he just has that mindset.

Michael Chandler will brutally knock out Conor. Michael Chandler is a unique physical specimen.

This man cannot speak 5 words without editing😂😂 I mean damn😂

Also the fight anderson won was against brunson and anderson arguably lost that fight aswel

Back then Connor was more reliable, now a days who knows what McGregor will do next? ...Will he actually fight June 29th???

Conor was great, accieved incredible things in MMA and helped grow the sport massively. But that was year and years ago. He is 35 this summer. Been a heavy multi millionaire since the floyd fight. He is not the same. Fought rarely, have lost multiple times and last time out he had an unfortuante broken leg. Whatever happens Conor has done his legacy and done his.

Are you going to the mcgregor fight?

In fairness, I don’t remember seeing cardio issues for Conor until he fought at 170lbs. I get that he’s too big to make lower weights these days, but it can’t be denied he was much better smaller.

I wonder if Paddy Pimlett would beat McGregor 🤔

Brian your not stupid Win or Lose this will not be the Macs last fight and you know that.

If Conor loses i still see a possibility for him to fight diaz or maybe even masvidal

I’m not going to pretend to know what his training is like. These videos are just videos. Who knows what’s going on there. Who knows what he’s doing not on camera. But we want to know so bad, people can’t help themselves but think they are seeing all there is. We’ll never know unless someone on the team tells the media what was going on. Even then we won’t know if they’re being honest or not. Let’s just watch the fight.

Did this guy just say Tony Ferguson was never good on the feet 💀

It should be Conor vs Tony..we were supposed to get it years ago

reason dana was so casual was because the rumour was pretty muchout there and anounced prior and media/dana knew this but ok sure ur point about UFC wanting to keep him down is valid and tbf mcgregors hype is dead, man hasnt had a fight in 3 years lol, which obviously contributes to all of the above. Edit and sure before conor fan boys say it, yes we'll still all tune in cus why the fk not its a mcgregor fight lol but conor will be outclassed by something like 60% of the roster atm in all divisions from 145-170

The way true Geordie spoke about McGregor mid interview is the reason Dana is not getting excited about it.

Chandler is tiny for the weight class?!!!

I hope he can but leg break and being on the Tracy Beaker for long periods of time...I just can't see it unfortunately

Give conor a chance he still has a big camp to do yet lets see how he looks 8weeks from now
