Mcgregor era was great one tho,brought hella excitement to the game.
He made the ufc
What happened to this genius ?
Dude he was so honest true and down to earth...I miss that Mcgregor..shame we lost him
Money 👹
More than money, drug and alcohol.
How can you hate this guys personality, absolute fucking beauty
+spludal Disrespecting your opponent's kids and calling him a traitor to his country without any basis whatsoever and you're really wondering how anyone could dislike him? That is just as ridiculous as me wondering why does anybody like him.
+The Mighty Minotaur its all a tactic, he's a really humble guy, he does respect all his fighters after the fact if they learned their lesson on not to fight him. Really driven and dedicated guy
Arm & Hammer Yeah man he might be I'm just saying it's pretty obvious why people would not like him.
The Mighty Minotaur no i do understand definitely he comes across as a greasy bastard
Because he's a passive-aggressive, pretentious, delusional moron.
He is so fucking cool
+DJ Kane there is no other way to describe it
+Eric Woods If you think believing in himself and being confident in his abilities is considered arrogant than suit yourself. People like you will always be a follower and mediocre. # pathetic
+Eric Woods by follower I mean u will always be behind people following em. & by mediocre I mean u will always be average in anything u do. try to change yourself before u become just another dot in the crowd. # no hate
+Eric Woods lol .. just like you generalized Conor by calling him arrogant, that's what I made of you by calling you a follower and mediocre. I guess I hit the right chord with you though coz u seem butt-hurt..lol. No shame in that ( being just a dot). # completed my masters degree.
+Eric Woods Conor would dominate you in a fight along with a large chunk of the world's population. he has earned the right to be vocal about his skills through blood and sweat. you don't like how he talks go shut him up
Conor McGregor is ahead of his time. I have learned a lot of him and I practice many of his movements on my own channel.
The guy is fucking great. I like his accent.
+Felipee Rincon Yeah he totally came up with the accent, that's what I love about him the most as well
+Skoshtwo No that's just a Dublin accent ..
Lyons Tea You don't say?
+Skoshtwo hahaha troll
Killer Ken Well I wasn't the one who said the accent was his.
This man speaks poetry.
I swear his movement, Boxing, He train's hard, amazing confidence and etc. he's gonna be champion without a doubt.
its destiny my friend.
Sorry, but can't see him beating José Aldo
Fysh He could make Swanson look like a cub.
Dexter Haven Yes, yes he could...
Fysh Aldo damn near lost to Mendes. Conor is too dynamic for Aldo.
"Venice is the right kind of crazy." Truer words never spoken. If only he had seen this place in the old days.
Back when Buttman was there
Hey do you know what's he saying right after: "Venice it's the right kind of crazy. ... " 2:20
He said "it's like a fuckin' Cirque Du Soleil"
Venice?
Venice Beach
The production effort in this video is outstanding :)
Whys every gobshite and her brother talking about production these days
Its hard not to like McGregor, he has the "it factor".
Agreed. Similar to Jon Jones. Love him or hate him, Jon has that untangle quality that has set him apart from everyone else. Daniel looks very promising though. I think DC will be his toughest test yet.
so true
***** You mad bro?
Jermaine Jones he has the'' knock out everyone he punches factor''
Ryan O'Ceiglah Gustafsson kicked Jon Jones ass... just saying...
Man I wish I could watch another fight on the come up Mcgregor had every one who got to watch this man in real time back in the day is lucky don’t think another guy who has this confidence, dress style, swagger, fighting style, rhythm, fluidity and could entertain is ever going to come again but I can still watch his growth through KZhead so shalom
Jiri will be that guy for sure
I´m very grateful to have discovered him early. He´s not the same anymore, no inspiration to be drawn from. I go back to watch these old clips from time to time to remind myself of what it is all about.
Only ones close are Sean O'Malley
@@C6SuperchargedZR1 people change especially with a billion dollars
You are all completely wrong. Ilia Topuria is that guy.
division.. obliterated
crazy thing is... with just about one title defense he'll have cleaned out the division
No. He still has to go through Ricardo Lamas, Frankie Edgar, Cub Swanson, Renan Barao and as of recent Anthony Pettis. So don't worry. He has far from obliterated the Featherweight division.
TheLifeEntity he took out the kings of the 145 division and the 155 division without breaking a sweat. #PureDomination.
funny thing is. Aldo had the chance to rematch conor, but turned it down.
Money has changed him so much
excuses
@@akranelpaco5457 shut up chicken conor mcgregor hater and its true so shut the fucking up
Dont worry i wiil fight with him in octagon
Rip Jack Crispy LMAO
@@amr-che6289 If the conor is so strong, why is he still eating and sleeping?
This was when McGregor was hungry, dedicated his life to martial arts and his passion was flowing through every movement, no energy wasted. Unfortunately, he became corrupted by money, fame and power, the familiar combo that has tanked many successful fighters. It's awesome seeing this video of him just casually training at Venice beach back in 2014, next to the skateboarders, body builders and homeless people. Today, I bet he wouldn't dare go there and place himself among normal everyday people, because he is too cut off from that reality and his ego has reached heights where he may never come down from.
True
He can’t go back to Venice by himself because people will try to rob him, dummy.
Its the drugs and alcohol that have ruined him but if he gave up drinking and cocaine, I think he could go on one more run before he retires.
Even if he looses he's got a fan in me
Honestly this was the most motivational video on KZhead!
This video gives me chills.. cold ruthless CONFIDENT thru the roof
Long rangey dangerous with every hand
Cool little document! Thanks for making it and sharing it for free!
love what he stands for and his reasons behind UFC fighting. reminds me of Vikings.
Too bad he's not scandinavian then
+zEmakaveli Well, most of us English and Irish have germanic/viking ancestry so it's likely he does have scandinavian genetics
+Ash Hudson Ireland had never been conquered by any germanic tribe they are 100% Celtics and they should be proud of it that's why they have an accent because English is their second language.
I know that he's Irish lmao I said his look looks like he belongs in the show Vikings.
+E pena that's wrong. Big parts of Ireland were conquered by different Viking tribes... There is no scandinavian race, it's called Germanic race. That's why you can find many tall blonde guys in Ireland which look like Germans
Congrats to all of Brazil for finding a new sleeping pill... Conors left hand on the chin! :D Aldo out cold in 13 seconds!!!
+Martin Daskalov The UFC was originally made for BJJ so I am glad that other athletes are taking the game away from the BJJ mafia.
HAHAHA
Ironic seeing this after McGaygor got submitted by a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu move from Nate Diaz. Looks like the "master of movement" will have to sign up to white belt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes if he wants to stay in the game
He was tired from punching FrankenNate in the face. Hopefully he is less arrogant after trying to go up so high in weight class. He was gassed so obviously he did not want to get beaten on the ground too much. Better for the image to get it over with a quiick submit. After all it is just entertainment ~
Exhale Chemtrail lol khabib beat mctapper
Miss this MCgregor
Nah, he never win khabib, this conor is weak, the new conor is good. But never gonna win khabib
He will punch your grandpa
@@mctapper5988 hes back bitch
McGregor
@@akranelpaco5457 khasual
This made me cry with passion and inspiration. Tremendous respect, complete admiration and pure love from the fiercely proud Republic of Ireland Conor.💪💪💪☘☘☘
Ate it up like a cheap hooker lol.. good stuff. Buy that PPV
Connor is quickly becoming one of my favourite fighters.
How about now ?
Enes Türkyilmaz lol
@@xEnes65x still he is my fav Conor 🐐
Watching it now is so.. strange! But i guess I steal love it, one of the best CMG clips ever to me
Conor feeds off your hate, keep hating.
+daniel frketic Honestly, he'll probably beat Jose. And even if he loses, he'll still be one of the best & one of the biggest draws in MMA. A has-been? Sounds like you're sore because you're a never-was & a never-will-be.
daniel frketic So everybody who has lost to Aldo sucks? What in the hell is your delusional ass talking about? Nobodies? These are UFC fighters, professional mixed martial artists at the highest level of the sport. You're the nobody. Pathetic fuck.
+daniel frketic Hows that job predicting the future working out for you?
+Eric Woods Dude, even I'VE had a payrise since 2010!
+daniel frketic now what? He won.
inspiration.. he's still the new guy, but he's a warrior and has this special mindset.. many people talk how they believe they can to certain things.. but he really belives it and does what he says.. got nothing but respect for this man
I feel no resentment towards any fighter's talk. Conor brings a new kind of excitement that I've missed in MMA. It was quiet for a while.... no real excitement. I like to watch Conor. I do understand where he comes from. I like his suits, the bullshit, and his whole act. I am just waiting what it will do to him when someone defeats him. Will it devastate him? Will he still be the same man IF it happens? We will see soon enough, because all good fighters lose one day, that's the way of the warrior.
he's lost before so it doesn't really matter. like he said "cocky in prediction, confident in preparation, humble in victory or defeat."
He lost before, but he was inexperienced at that time, younger, still learning, and all that was before the UFC hype. Losing now, that's a different ball game with his expensive Rolex, custom made suits, and what ha ye. Losing all the cash NOW, and the "fame" that he so rapidly "acquired", that will set him back in a world of hurt.... unless he invests his money for a rainy day. But he likes to flash his gadgets.... we will see if he's that smart as he pretends to be.
Floyd Mayweather has been doing that and risking his brand for 18 years and there still isn't a blemish on his record. Not saying Conor will do the same, but who says he can't? What if he DOESN'T lose and runs through the division like he says he will? That's something to behold. I like him and wish him the best. He believes he can, and really and truly that's all that matters.
+Adam Warlock. I agree with you. Conor was unemployed prior to the whole UFC hype. Now he's making good money. He's driven, motivated to stay on top now. Unemployment sucks, and now he's a "star", making a lot of cash, as he proudly mentions in his interviews. I hope he will do well, but eventually everybody will lose. The body is under constant pressure, so one day every single fighter will have to give in. But the guy is 26, he can fight for 10 more years, if he takes care of his body well.
Adam Warlock I agree but boxing is a complete different story to MMA nowadays. Mayweather has been a pro for 15+ years and only had 47 fights. When you're as good as he is and as smart as he is it's easier to stay undefeated, even at his age.. When you have that boxing IQ that the younger guys don't have e.g Bernard Hopkins you can do things these fighters can't react too. I'm not one for knocking Mayweather and I think his resume is great but he didn't fight other legends in his younger years on his ascension and we missed out on the Pacquiao fight. Even so, Mayweather has arguably lost before (Jose Luis Castillo). MMA has way too many ways to lose for someone to stay undefeated, imo..
I hope Conor gave the 'Homeless' guys a dollar or $500 ;-)
Lol for real though
haha this is so dope
Timothy Shieff who are you talking about?
@@xorkusfamili6579 your mother
Shut your fuking mouth
@@mrbeangod9897 fookin*
I rememeber seeing this when it first came out and didn't think much of it at the time, only because every fighter says this sort of stuff. Turns out he is one of the best to ever do this.
Whose ancesters havent been on the battlefield? lol
Not everyone goes to battlefield. Lol
13th Floor doubt it seriously
MrHigherplane some were at home cooking salmon. His name's synonymous with battle. My name: Kaine means; warrior, and my second name means sea warrior. Not everyone goes to war. But our ancestors (Celts etc) were known for their fearlessness in battle, N if you've read anything on the history of the fighting Irish...you'd know that 🙂👍🏻🍀
Kaine 3 Fighting irish? The ones dominated by the british, and only have one good fighter in ufc? Yes i know of these people lol. MY point is that everyone has someone in there ancestry that fought. Period. Mcgregor has been boxing since very young, so lets not try and put him out to be a natural warrior.
MrHigherplane 6,000,000 people in Ireland...322,000,000 in America, lol, u have states 3 times bigger than Ireland itself lol. N the biggest star over there IS Irish N he did things you lot never even attempted so what does that tell you? lol he is a warrior, u not see the Nate fight? Warrior's are made not born.
How can anyone not love this man? MYSTIC MAC!
"the true martial artist is a peacefull man" ! God bless you my brother !
This guy is definitely one of my favorite mixed martial artists right now. You may not like his personality or the amount of trash he talks when promoting a fight (or himself), but if you don't respect his skill as a fighter, you're either a hater or just don't understand fighting. The guy is amazing (as is Aldo, btw). I honestly see McGregor taking the title, via 4th Round KO, but I would not be at all surprised if Aldo remains the champion. I haven't been this excited for a fight in a long, long time! Can't wait for July 11th!!!!
Great vid and showed me why Venice beach is so good to train at. But I was hoping Ronda was in here. Next time hopefully.
Win or lose! He is uniquely different from the rest. His movement is an art. Like, I would think did you train somewhere in Japan or china? Different! Luv this guy! 😎
It's sad how much hes changed 😔
How has he changed?
@@m0ralesi42 YOUR WIFE IS YOUR HUSBAND JOLIES WIFE JOLIES WIFE JOLIES WIFE
That was made really well, good job.
Movement (as conner said it) is creativity and creativity always beats neutral. Always.
I like this guy's attitude, and I like his style of fighting even more. I'll be cheering for him all the way to the belt.
@AKASHIX so much has happened since that comment…..
vid made me a fan
I am currently dealing with a mental breakdown and I must say this has cheered me up mahoosively. Last night I fell down the stairs and landed on my dog Lady Chatterly & broke her neck. She died almost instantly. I fractured my cervix and sprained an ankle but other than that I'm fine. It has just been one of those weeks where everything goes wrong. Between the sudden death of Lady Chatterly, and the stairs accident I also lost my glasses on Thursday and ended up bumping into everyone and got into a fisticuffs with one woman who took offence to me accidently bumping into her. Then I ended up sitting in on all the wrong lectures and only realized half way through the classes so was too embarrassed to get up. My nerves are shot now so this just what I needed. THANKS A TONNE.
What the fook
"I'm not here to take part, I'm here to take over" thats a good one! I'm gonna use it at my next scrabble tournament.
Next month I am going to Dublin! Do they sell McGregor Merchendise over there? I will buy some, great victory yesterday, I hope he will get the title. From Holland much love & respect.
Haha
He´s not Irish, he´s american... Irish were always marginated whites because they were catholics in a protestant country. It´s like Ricky Martin, he´s not a real latino, but he is the stereoype american market expects him to be.
Carolina Perez i guess you know nothing of the U.S. history then? That the land was found by rapist, murderers and criminals who were kicked out the UK? And that a LOT of Irish went with em? No cause you're dumbass.
Well edited.
Im not the biggest fan of McGregor, but the way he says that 'we're not here to take part' thing, he says with so much confidence and belief, that I just have to respect him
I admire his confidence, all the best to this bloke!.
You can hate him or love him but remember this and this go's out to all the people who thinks he talks shit, he has built a big hype train back here at home and i'm seeing alot of MMA movement back here lots of people participating because of mcgregor, he is making people believe in themselfs and want to be as good or better in time, he has put so much attention on the UFC in a few months than any other fighter has in their career, if that isn't something people should like about him than the straight up hating is pure jealousy, Imo ...this guy is bigger than the UFC.
Fuck him !!!
@AKASHIX Times have changed lol
I hope this Conor can return for the Cerrone fight
He did
But not against Dustin
@@GoGetYourShinebox lol
it would be fun to see McGregor @ Ido Portals movement training
Loved watching this. great video Fightland ! Love him or hate him, he's brought a lot of attention, money and new fans to the division. And what he says about body movement is like Bruce Lee talk. Spot on! :-)
Conor will beat Aldo and take the featherweight belt it will be a great fist round KO!!
You predicted
U said it
Nick Boulding Vlogs edited
Savage
Knowledge Is Contagious Pass It Around dude it’s just one loss think about all his accomplishments and when you look down the line Connor has way more accomplishments and feats to be proud of it’s not just about one win or lose
2016 He probably can't go anywhere without a crowd of people noticing him now
Maybe not in Syria.
Punch old man instead
The song is called boys in the woods by a band called black lips. I shazamed it while watching Kingdom 😂 enjoy
What was fightland? Looks great also the other vids
Conor needs to rewatch this before the 3rd Dustin P match. Movement is something Conor forgot post Mayweather fight
Whats the name of the beat 2:12
I need this guy back in the octagon !!!!
At 1:48 that guy is Bill Pettis. He used to be a bodybuilder back in the golden era had one of the craziest set of arms in history
Who’s here after the poirier fight?
damn he was so connected to the universe and now he lost the connection and the magic what comes with it
I wonder what the muscle-up tip was.
+Léön Kroß he said it was about momentum. he was prbly trying to use his strength to do it. many ppl can do a pullup. many ppl can do a dip. but not many ppl can string it together to do a muscle up. it's not about strength. it's about knowing how to move your body.
+Léön Kroß when you do a pullup you go straight up, but to achieve the muscle-up you have to use your arms as a lever, in order to make your body go up making a curve, does it make sense? Instead of flexing your arms to go up, you use the momentum of the effort you make in the first pull, to make your body go above the bar and then do a dip.
+Léön Kroß Or could have had the wrong grip if he was trying it on the rings.
Hate him or like him, but he is bringing something new into the game and that is what counts in the end. It is hard to come up with something new in this industry! And this guy is pure joy.
fantastic video
This Guy needs his own reality show.
Sos argentino?
I would love to watch him do a show omh
ALREADY A LEGEND
paved path(s) to the title shots
Such a well made video!
Think he's a very entertaining man and a good fighter. However I'm not convinced about his kicking technique. But I like his suits !
whats the song at 2:01
Old town road by lil nas
That song at the end is a really good song
The Track in min.2:04 is very good
He will rise to the top of UFC champion. I believed that he will be unstoppable, he is humble as you can see unless Aldo call him Joker. Then he will blast Aldo away through the cage.
Conner McGregor is a true champion and he will end a lot of careers just like he did with Jose Aldo. I hope I'm lucky enough to see him fight live someday.
Kenneth Gordon lel he didn't end Aldo's career
He's been ducking a lot of fights. He's dana whites little golden child. Cherry picked fights. Hasn't defended one belt and hasn't fought in over 550days
I live in Venice for 3 years. That place and the beach strip is entertaining to say the least.
1:47 this older dude was an old school bodybuilder who used to train with arnold down at that gym by the beach (forgot its name) anyho he died some time ago and he had a black box with nothing but picturs of himself with arnold training. Sorce: Some vide i watched like 2 hours ago EDIT: It's Venice beach
1,2 mill views 4 comments? Lol
must be a glitch. Says 1442 comments up top.
Gonna be champ!!!!
You were correct
great video!
Fascinating man for sure
The Champ is here!!!!
Emile Heskey
The king of movements yeah that really works out for you makes it quicker to give up
"I'm the best. I'm the p4p" his mindset stayed. he beat the p4p now, but in his mind he already has....a long time ago. what a guy!
Connor The Man McGregor!
I"m the best. I'm the pound for pound. I'm not here to make friends!
Great video
EXCELLENT MAC GREGOR , BE PROUD OF IRELAND PEACE FROM ALGERIA
Mcgregor is best in MMA history!
Lol... Don't get me wrong, he's good and I'm a fan. But there's no way you can back that up yet. What champion has he fought? What kind of title from a respectable organization has he defended? He has fought and dismantled a couple skilled fighters, but no one who is world class. He is great, and I love the attitude and frame of mind that he's brought to fighting, but there's no way he's the best ever...he very well could be, but that remains to be seen yet. So hold your horses for a little bit lol
cingratta I totally agree with you. He is probably one of the most popular MMA fighters since nowadays memes are famous and his trash talking hypes the fight. But his track record isn't as impressive as Anderson Silva, Gsp or even Machida. He is a great striker. If he breaks Khabib's winning streak he is easily enters the same place as Gsp.
@MMABOXING 😄😄😄😄😄
KHABIB!!!!!!!
Khabib put an end to Conor McGregor's MMA life
145 lb Division obliterated.moved up to 155 lb currently obliterating it.
HDZ lol khabib time
A Conor McGregor video with a Black Lips song (Boys In The Wood). More please...
This was great!
Conor makes me want to be Irish and......I'm Irish.
Interesting how he was obsessed with movement back then. That was the best conor forsure, the way he moved when he beat aldo. He didnt move like that at 229
Even if he does, it'd barely make any difference cus the emotionally wrecked Aldo is nothing compared to the monster who is Khabib
this guys on a whole other level!
All the greatest fighters in history have shared something similar. The mental game. The war is won before the battle begins. Watching McGregor with his adversaries leading up to the fight i.e. the weigh-Ins, ETC., is like watching the wolf nearing the lamb. Even if I thought he was going to destroy me in the ring (octagon) I'd give it right back to him, stare him down, scream at him. Whatever it took to get back what he takes from his opponent. Their belief in themselves. Just an observation. I predict UFC Featherweight gold in his near future. Like say July ;)
He says boxers can't do well in MMA? Conor is a boxer and doing very well for himself.
Yes... a boxer with a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, using spinning back kicks and a non-boxer position. He fights like a mixed martial artist, not like a boxer. And I love boxing.
Is a boxer not allowed to learn new moves??? He is a boxer first now an MMA fighter. So this disproves all the BS that boxers can't do it in a octagon.
Dara McC oh yeah, of course. But you cannot say that it proves that a boxer can do it well in MMA, because it does not proves such a thing. In fact, it proves that a boxer has to change and adapt his style and to include new skills that boxing doesn't have for being good in MMA. Conor included kicks, jiu-jitsu and changed his posture and angles. He is not fighting like a boxer does.
Dara McC Yeah you can tell he's a boxer by the 360 tornado kicks he was throwing. The fact of the matter is Conor is as much of a boxer as he is a jiu jitsu and Tae Kwon Do practitioner. He's a well rounded MMA FIGHTER that is successful by implementing a new style of stand up and that deals with winning the battle of range and movement, not putting on sock em boppers and playing patty cake for twelve rounds.
The give away to him been a boxer was that he was a national boxing champion when he was younger. Conor is a boxer turned mma fighter. Boxing rules again !!
Now the king has 2 belts...
Jefferson Ferreira he never was a king. Never defended his belt once hasnt,fought in over 550days got stripped because he's scared. To fight . guys in his weight class now will eat him up.
It's firstly I heard someone... like it 👊✌️
Whats the name of the song that plays in the last?
