His destruction of Jose is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. To be humiliated like that live for so many months and then to be knocked out in 13 seconds is absolutely insane. Glad to see they both respect each other now, but conor was a vicious killer back in the day.
And then also not even getting the rematch
lucky punch!!!
@@heheyes9659 clean, calculated... not luck but it was enough for aldo to not want to go through to a rematch negotiation... 🤷♀
@Hehe Yes he was practicing the punch before the fight
@@heheyes9659 absolute noob
Conor at his best was truly something else, the way he beat poirier, mendes, holloway, jose Aldo, and Eddie alvarez. Each of those performances was truly magnificent.
Hahahahaha, Obviously he was at his best only in his wins 🤡
Khabib owns him
Don’t forget the GOAT denis siver
guy singlehandedly popularized MMA into mainstream. what a g.
That was tuf actually. If it wasn't for tuf ufc would be dead

@@schilling2438 Not to mention the massive crowd Rousey gathered, and the timing of the UFC pushing him harder after she lost, Conor was boosted by a perfect storm to become a star
Tell me you haven't been watching MMA for long without telling me you haven't been watching MMA for long.
@@munnymikeprolly wasn’t watching mma for that long because mcgregor brought it into the mainstream haha
You can tell he was really upset when Aldo pulled out of the fight. Its crazy that people think he was scared of Aldo
McGregor was his nightmare and his downfall
Perfect timing just after his fight with Chandler was announced 👌
Well, timing does beat speed.
I think it's the opposite, he's on his worst form
Not really, Conor’s washed and will lose
@@Illuso07 wait, what's the argument for that?
@@yellowperson bro is backing Connor to win a fight in 2023 😭💀
prime conor was an absolute BEAST.
Opponents before fighting Connor: Broke! After Connor fight: Baby we are rich!!
Diaz vs Mcgregor 2 remains my favorite fight of all time. It's sentimental too. My best friend from when he was 4 and I was 5 was down in Wenatchee WA and it's the last thing we talked about, because the very next day he had a swimming accident that snapped his neck and caused him to go brain dead. They turned off his machine. I will always remember Wyatt any time I think of or see Diaz vs Mcgregor 2. Wyatt said "That was the best fight!" RIP little brother.

It genuinely is super depressing to see how good Mcgregor was, how hungry, how passionate, how verbally and Combat proficient he was. To see him go to Boxing once, then off the rails all together, to having too much money to need to ever compete again, to getting smashed by Khabib which he deserved as the things he said weren't him just being a master trash talker it was actually foul, and the way he acted was pathetic, to smashing Cerrone which was insane and had us all thinking we could have Mcgregor back, then he is back off the rails before 2 losses to Dustin, then vanished again.
Dustin is one of the best in the game. My optimism is that losing to Dustin doesn't make you washed, especially with the 2nd fight being controversial.
Kahbib was a bad man Conner ran into boyz that wasn’t scared of him
@@sportsfantastic361McGregor wasn’t the same guy after the Floyd money. He was partying constantly and lost his way
Hope he goes back to the old style and forgets the whiskey efore fighting chandler
Sonnen and weidman was silvas toughest fights. Wrestling and snapped his leg.
Awesome presentation guys , thanks for the hard work that went into this 👏 👍 💪
Khabib before: 😐 Khabib after: 😐
McGregor used to have that hunger when he was facing Aldo. Nowadays the man is a made man and don’t nearly train as much as he once did. And why would he? The guy is rich and only really need to jump into the ring every now and then so people don’t forget all about him. That mayweather has already cemented his legacy in the sport.
But he fights because its in his dna, and he loves the sport a d competing!! Not to only entertain ....
Mr McGregor is an awesome MMA artist. He showed how stand-up can overcome grappling, he showed incredible skill that would overtake opponent strength and conditioning ... Precision over power / Timing beats speed ... Connor is a Skillful Master.
new video finally i been waiting for far too long
What's so insane about his mental warfare of Aldo is how incredibly effective it was. Mcgregor dominated Alvarez over the course of several rounds using a similar strategy, and while the fight lasted way longer Mcgregor didn't have a scratch on him at the end. While Aldo was such an insanely good striker with so much power and speed that even though it ended in 13 seconds, that one left punch that clipped Mcgregor was enough to leave a bruise above his eye. But the problem was he just went off and tried to end it there. And Conor was ultimately right, precision beats power and timing beats speed. Aldo paid no attention to having precision or timing and just wanted to make Mcgregor pay for all the months of trash talk, and he would have likely put Mcgregor to sleep if that full combination had connected. But Conor saw it coming, and got out of the way of most of it, and while Aldo was wide open he ended it. Really makes you wonder how things would've ended if Aldo stayed calmer similar to Khabib, or even like Chad Mendes who almost beat Conor in their interim title fight, albeit got too gassed to close it out. But I don't see prime Aldo tiring like that, so even though at surface value people will think the fight had a very definitive result, the way I see it I think it was actually kinda inconclusive as to who was the better fighter.
That type of awareness seals him as the better fighter at that time . He mentally beat his opponent then identified the combo and countered . Fight over
I agree with you, but it’s still an excuse. Therefore, McGregor was better
Isnt the mission in combat warfare "to hit and not get hit" its kinda simple AF!! n noone did it better than conor in his prime at 145, and another example of someone who absolutey dominates fights by being a master jedi of "hitting without been hit" is floyd maywhether.... conor is a freak of nature when you look at his ability to adapt to everyone he fought, adapting to diffrent fighting styles takes a certain "RING IQ" in my opinion conor has a genuis level of intelligence in the ring cant be taught, cant be imitated, or replicated. Agree or not, he is and will be for all time the biggest name (brand) in mixed martial arts

He talked well He fought well back then..
I could watch the Aldo and Alvarez fights on repeat. Connor put on a hell of a show at his best. Connor looked so calm and ready to go, Aldo looked scared and nervous…it was incredible to watch that textbook knockout
Bro these videos are beyond amazing. You could seriously be one of the biggest KZhead channels if you uploaded consistently.
if only I had known how truly inconsistent he was
Motivedia and mma are a match made in heaven
thy have never really focused on mma as a whole, only ufc. that said there is money to be made there because the sport is so big. motivedia are missing out by not covering ufc stuff more. its not in their wheelhouse but I wouldnt doubt if in the next five years its their primary topic to cover
Great vid 🙏
Another great video 👊 good to catch up with Connor has he is going to be on ufc tuf
Ow I forgot to say Thank you for the upload sir!
I'm not a mcgregor fan boy definitely not nowadays but fair play this was a great run through the ufc the ppv numbers were through the roof the hype he brought has never been seen before or since.. A great era in mma
We need more!!!
Can you make a video on Tony Ferguson’s rise & fall ! I love your videos
Man I miss younger Conor now he's a shell of himself
✌️🤠
Sometimes money , success, fame ,, changes people for the good OR bad .
The charisma and new energy he breathed into the sport was truly addictive to watch. Comparable to a highly rated sitcom or Netflix series, when he went mainstream it was something special to become glued to. From the fight build ups, even the Twitter wars and memes made a day between fights special, then the long awaited press conferences, which mcgregor’s star shined so bright the ufc had to adjust them to just the two fighters instead of the whole card. Then we saw pretty much the entire roster at all weight divisions hate the man, a time when Woodley was thought of as the biggest killer ever and 25 lbs heavier , Connor punked him after weigh ins while grabbing a fruit basket or sum shit, the Aldo interviews and build up were gold, and really that’s only reason Diaz came into the picture. Those didn’t disappoint either. I remember being so embraced in the moment I’d actually feel nervous and anxiety the start of figgt week, and a few times getting into bar fights just from experiencing the energy from the whole thing. Connor def owes it to his fellow countrymen for brightening his star, but really it was like a articulate.M comedian that had a good left hand and brilliant psychological warfare. Let’s be honest tho, the “playin touch butt w the dork in the park” from Nate was the chink in the armor and at that moment he was at his peak
He did so much for the sport

Wow! I loved that journey, it feels like part of my life... Thanks Conor!
Amazing content
Hell yeah bro, aye i know you a Tennessee fan too, you think them Vols taking the national championship next season?
Bro, repost your Volkanovski video. I've been looking for it, and it's gone. Great video though
Interesting to post a Connor video at this point in time!
He used to be a beast before boxing ruined the movement and money ruined the man.... I'm still a fan he's an exciting guy, but I'm an honest fan...now the leg break that's usually a career Ender look at every other fighter we've seen suffer that injury smh and for him to come back this quickly against chandler is insane if he wins it will be impressive that type of injury isn't only physical it's mental
khabib humiliated him so badly he was begging him and saying it's just business
Khabib saying “Go Sleep” is hilarious, nobody wants to be choked to bed
Great video but there are some mistakes (e.g. Khabib submitted Conor in 4th round not 1st)
yeah i thought that fight was longer then one round
FIRST AND YOU'RE FINALLY BACK
Conor is the Proper irish Animal.. Love that man..
Not gunna lie. I miss the days of Connor’s prime. Being a fan around that time was the greatest feeling ever in the bars and making bets with friends. But those were good times
We need this Connor back man he’s not as hungry nor focused as he used to be
It’s hard to be hungry when you’re worth hundreds of millions. The money made him lose his way. It’s sucks because prime Conor made the sport so damn exciting
@@Romanus-facts
Love this video
Conor was a unicorn until he fought mayweather and went to that next level of wealth. Then he went to the dark side
I think having over 100mill cash would probably change us too, hard to say but we can only imagine that kind of money.
You have to do a video for Jones vs gane !!
This is awesome documentary.
Man if he would have just stuck tot he work and grind and not gotten side tracked he could of had the most legendary record ever. But still set in stone for sure! Best era of the ufc and mma ever. Hes the ali of the ufc for sure. Wont be another like him because anybody that tries the fans push away.
They all became a lot damn richer after fight McGregor
I love both Nate and Conner and I remember the fight and honestly… EVERY bar in and restaurant in Texas was packed to the point there was a lull in traffic…
Good vid
The fight with kbabib wasn’t a first round finish it was a 4th round finish
Hope you ain’t too busy for another mma video brotha
24:20 " *And you talk about warrior or something like this? How you can tap? Go sleep* " 🦅🔥
Finally another Motivedia MMA!
I want before and after of Dc vs Stipe 2, All three if you can include
To go from practically nothing to a top 5 most recognized athlete on the planet. In less than 5 years...That's better than any record he has, in my opinion. Seems impossible
Kahbib said if u a fighter don’t tap.
Can you do Alex Pereira before and after i hope you notice and give me a shout-out.
ufc official here....max also had an injury during that fight and he wasn't outclassed in it. it was a close decision
It was not close
"UfC OfFicIal HeRe" lmao get the fuck out of here.
You say you are an UFC official yet your other comments say otherwise, stop it
Yo the gane v jones fight is round the corner. We need a closer look
9:16 Conor seem somewhat emotional there to anyone else? Like he was on the verge of crying or something?
I see what you mean
I think he was not too far away from some tears...
Yeah seen the clip before but never noticed that before now
I know it's difficult to see happen, but I wish Conor can get back to his former glory. I am not even a fan of his, but having Conor headline PPVs and strike fear into his opponents will do enormous service to the entire UFC
I'd love to see them fight again but I think we need Jolie vs Dee as the co-main event 😂
I love your work Motivedia but mate Khabib won via 4th round submission not first.
Imagine how good they both could become if Colby Covington and Conor Mcgregor trained at the same gym for one year and left the egos at the door. They both would be unstoppable
before and after fighting khabib
miss the old conor, complete menace, hes just chilling nowadays unfortunatley
Do one for Jones vs ciryl
Where is the Alexanders video go?
Prime mcgregor was a mythical fighter, I'm genuinely upset seeing how he's spiralled
notification gang
When he was on the come up and obsessed with training and being number one, he was hungry and aggressive, he was the best ever.
Connor really started using the word respect what khabib thaught him 😂😂
Shame Khabib lost his father and is still riddled in poverty. Hallah has blessed him.
Connor's last great performance was Eddie Alvarez. Once Connor made a 100 mill fighting Mayweather, he no longer had the drive to be the best. Even if Connor was totally focused and hungry, Kabib beat him every time. Connors couldn't keep Kabib off him.
Diving for legs and holding on for dear life was so boring to watch. He did stop several takedowns. I wish he'd never left UFC but he's a showman and he made all his dreams come true and baby number four on the way so oh well.
Had a great carrier run for sure ,,,made some 💰💰💰 life's good ... anjoy it 👌
You have to do Amanda, Nunez next!
As a champion if you drop out of a fight you should also drop the title!
diaz khabib and porrier all done him a treat big time lets see them fights please
Why don’t you talk about all the Khabib drama and that fight that almost had the arena fighting each other
Make video about Cro Cop
What does khabib say before and after fighting connor?
I AM NOT HERE TO TAKE PART. I AM HERE TO TAKE OVER
Whats the song at 6:52?
"If you wanna stop me you have to kill me " Khabib the goat
what a legend
Young Connor was just fun. Could cook up drama like crazy, and fought a crazy fun style.
After fighting Conor the first time, Dustin went UP.
Conor with hair: Champ Conor shaved head: Chump Same thing with Poirier Poirier shaved head: Mid at best Poirier with hair: Legend.
Prime Conor was just something else, I firmly believe he would have a long title reign at FW if he didnt move to boxing or Lightweight and instead focused solely on the FW division
it's 2023 I'd like to see McGregor v ferguson now that s a knock
