1) who could know at the time what a legendary matchup this fight was. 2) it was so fun seeing Conor hit takedown after takedown in the 3rd (due to a knee injury) and be such a beast at grappling and getting to mount on the ground. The guy is just talented everywhere and probably would have been a wrestling/gnp legend if that’s the route he’d focused on
What happened to the Switch Knee, Front kick, Front leg Hook kick, angle change uppercut-cross? Conor used to be so special and unique with the striking
Conor swept and defended against a much larger Diaz, gave khabib a RESPECTABLE amount of trouble early on and in the third round and kept up with Chad Mendes with a shredded knee. His ground game is underrated

@@drunkenmmamaster419 Conor was and always will be a better fighter (in the pure sense) - it is what is - would max beat him now? yeah maybe , rather most likely (I would def put my money on max if I had to choose), depending on the weight class obviously though but what we see now is just a joke, Conor can be beat by half the roster now - the man is a materialist to the fullest, and got everything he ever wanted - after beating Alvarez in still the cleanest and most dominant championship fight I have ever seen (still holds record for most knockdowns in a title bout) ….btw this was when Alvarez was a dog, the same guy who had a war with Dustin years later but was no where the same fighter….. but i digress, after that - winning the two belts (which he said he wanted to do in the UFC in 2012 before he was even in the UFC yet when he did it with Cage Warriors) then being out of the cage for a tad over 2 years to make 80 million in 30 minutes….start a multi million dollar company, glt everything he ever wanted and lets not forget, what he predicted he was going to do, which was unheard of and not seen as possible back when he joined the roster -- to only come back and fight the best LW of all time and arguably the best ever? then not fight for another 2+ years etc….. what I am getting at is, Conor got what he wanted - I do BELIEVE that Conor BELIEVES he can still be great - but no because subconsciously, that flame that kept the spark lit for all those years has gone out, it did a while ago…and many of his dumb fans dont realize that, and sadly Conor does not either BUT in its pure form, there was NO stopping that man during that Cinderella-like movie type run, a run that transcended him and the UFC as a company // hence why now its not impressive to say u cant beat Conor
The footwork and balance of Conor was amazing. Max though showed some great heart and technique. You could see these were both going to be very special champions.
Holloway's resume is insane, all just former or future champs _conor, volk, oliveira, poirier, pettis, edgar, aldo and soon will be gaethje as well So underappreciated
Conor was so versatile but people saying this was his best fight don’t realize that he wasn’t able to get a finish. When he has many first round finishes in huge fights

Imagine being 21 years old and fighting Mcgregor... Max has an epic story going so far
Conor was quite young as well
Not really men are strongest at age 25 and max is 21 still developing his muslce and bones bit he still a man but conor had more physical advantages
Conor was 24 years old at the time I believe, not much of a difference.

Him fighting Floyd and training boxing completely changed his fighting style
for the worse not the same fighter
Nope, its the weightclass. Featherweight fits him more
are you braindead? go watch him fight nate at 170 he has the same style@@sidobx
They probably adapted after the Diaz fight as he might lacked in clinching and they switched to more Thai like he needed to level up his BJJ@@sidobx
yeah getting pieced up and choked out by a heavier Diaz was what changed his fighting style

McGregor beat Holloway, Holloway beat Rodriguez, Rodriguez beat Hooker, Hooker beat Burns, Burns beat Woodley, Woodley beat Gastelum, Gastelum beat Bisping, Bisping beat Silva, Silva beat Griffin, Griffin beat Rampage, Rampage beat Henderson, Henderson beat Fedor
Conclusion: McGregor is the greatest heavyweight of all time 🤪

Infinity energy, what a fight this means performance ! applause 👏

Casual
Mctapper got owned forever
Conor's speed back then was incredible, not many people could match a young max holloway with speed
Max was never really known for his speed. His talents are pressure and volume.
Imagine a rematch now 😂. An even better ultra instinct highlight.
Best channel ever
Crazy this was a prelim fight.. and look at them now!
Takedowns from McGregor tho 🔥🤙
One of cleanest fights Weill see from the man, here’s to 2022 tho maybe he will bring some of that snap back👀👌
His style benefits a lot from his added speed then again the knockout power also did go up, I'm just not sure it's better overall
Crazy , .. feels like a lifetime ago now .
The takedowns, i must admit i forgot about those
what a humble man.. :D back in the days anyway.
Larone is the 🐐
3:36 okay wtf.
Love to see this run back
The footwork and balance of Conor was amazing. Max though showed some great heart and technique. You could see these were both going to be very special champions.
The palm-strike-Sandwich at 3:37 is evil lmao ouch
Old school
It’s weird rewatching this fight with how Conor is avidly going for takedowns and doing ground game when you compare it to how he fights now lol
Conor chest without tattoo look awesome, fighting style with switch kick n takedowns, clinching, man conor was almost a complete mma fighter 😆
Conor is absolutely huge at that weight. Tough to beat for anyone.
This was hungry Conor! His rise from this fight to the Alvarez fight was fun to watch.
Two legends.
I've never seen Connor wrestle so much
When max came in and caught that teep to the body I felt that shit
02:33 fun fact
according to max
Conner hurt his knee and max was asking if he was okay and conner said keep fighting
This is the mcgregor I miss. THrowing legs and flying kicks.
Humble and genuine McGregor here. Love to see that old Conor mentallity
Is it possible Conors tattoos affected his cardio because here he looks lightning fast without the ink
This one and Alvarez are my favorites of his.
Holloway's resume is insane, all just former or future champs
_conor, volk, oliveira, poirier, pettis, edgar, aldo and soon will be gaethje as well

also at 03:40, was looking for that in comment section actually lol
@@NicoGee1that was a gift also
Nate Diaz: So your a wrestler now?

The way McGregor moves...it's like watching ballet.
OMG! I never knew this fight had happened! 😦
BLESSED.
Conor actually showcased wrestling here
Where has this conor been one that can grapple wrestle and is well rounded
Some of these combos would have finished other fighters. Shows just how strong of a chin Holloway has.
Really a legendary fight young max and connor on the rise...and connor tore his acl but finished the fight
Prime Conor was amazing. His rise to double champ is something special.
Even tho Max was young, crazy to see him dominated like this
His karate style was when he was at his best
Light Conor a beast
We need to see a rematch
Joe knew McGregor was going to be a star before anyone.
1:11 would probably have ended my life .... I will WILL comprehend how these guys can get like that and act like nothing happened lol
Joe O’Rogan at the end
This fight (if Conor beats Chandler) for the BMF belt would be massive today.
F*ck yeah.. however, I want to see Chandler win..
Conor's striking is priceless 👌👌👌
Max would beat him now
FUCK YES. ITS A LARONE VIDEO
I’m more of fan of Max but Conor’s confidence was radiating in this one.
Now its time for the rematch
how is this still up??
That shit was too easy for him
Karate stance Conor is truly a sight to behold.
When Conor was hungry 💜💔💔
Member they did a custom poster design contest for this fight? Even before they were the stars they are today, it was a big deal.
Conor was so versatile but people saying this was his best fight don’t realize that he wasn’t able to get a finish. When he has many first round finishes in huge fights
i just 'got it' mcregor was on fire back then
Can you upload poirier vs holloway 1?
Wish they could fight today they are both different fighters now
Those were the times
Man, Max would eat his lunch today
Connor had an early streak of something like 15 fights where Max was the only person he didn't finish.
I miss karate stance McGregor.
oh the fight that made me watch MMA...
Sadly the rematch never happened..Max was just 21 years old in this fight still did pretty well!
Now if Connor could just watch himself to see what it used to be like when he was hungry and not caught up in his mouth and money.
Conor’s wrestling / ground game was good
Max needs a rematch
man max was such a baby here, i wonder how conor would have felt after this fight if someone told him that max would be a FW goat.
The rematch between these two would be epic
It would too bad Connor will never make featherweight again and probably struggle to make 155 if max moves up
