Mendes was actually good, he bites with his sneaky fast punches, I was surprised how Conor stood that long but also Conor has the long punches very important advantage, plus he has more endurance than Mendes
This fight showed conor's heart. chad literally beat the shit out of him with his elbows. Even khabib with his 3 rounds of mauling couldn't do much damage but chad picked him up and beat him like a child. Maybe this is why his fans say hungry Conor was on a whole different level.
Considering Mcgregor only had two weeks to completely change up his fight camp, but couldn’t even do that because of an 80 percent tear on his ACL, that says a lot.
@@jooyoungkang3858 Conor had two weeks notice of an opponent change, but he still had a camp. Chad took the fight with two weeks notice and no camp. Bigger heart, in my opinion.

@@JJS595 what impressed me here is his gas tank and enduring his injury. he had no ACL in this fight and didn't pulled out. Conor used to have that heart, perseverance, determination and some good physical attributes. but all of that are gone since he sparred with Mayweather.

I got hit by a spinning back kick to the body today in light sparring. Legit sent me down immediately and I couldn’t breathe. It was hard asf to talk. Those are no joke 😭
Mendes might have lost but you gotta respect his heart he is the only one alongside Diaz can say the same thing for the rest of their life and that is “I made Conor Mcgregor bleed”
Lmao Nate made Mcgregor panic wrestle and tap for his life, but to be honest McGregor has tapped in 3 different weight classes so that isn’t too special either.
@@garibay711cod remember that time he missed weight? Me neither. Volk is significantly bigger than Conor now, nobody is called him a weight bully. Khabib was massive for 155. Dustin is big for 155 now (and used to fight at 145). Who cares? They either make weight or they don't - Conor has never missed weight
Chad beat up Conor worse than Khabib. Conor’s face after the Khabib fight was practically unscathed, but if you asked a Khabib fan they’d say the complete opposite 🤣
@@anthonypersaud8821 Khabib is huge for the weight, and he smothered Conor mostly in the fight. Conor won a round against him first one to ever do it. Mendes really busted Conor up with power shots because Khabib don't have those, and Khabib has what Mendes don't have.
Khabib has weak punches and just haymakers everything because he gets lit up in straight brawls. So he throws those haymakers to make people throw their guard to the side, while he goes in for the wrestling. I've never had much respect for people who ONLY go for submissions as a way to win. Khabib will go for submissions 10 times in 1 minute because he's that desperate for the win. Khabib fans overhype him. Meanwhile, Conor hadn't been in his prime, and lasted the longest as a top contender against him. Poirier got smoked by Khabib and had virtually no submission defense haha.
Conor took the fight without ACL, Conor was supposed to fight Aldo. don't expect Mendes wasn't training in the gym while he's not fighting it just shows you have never spent a minute inside a gym.
@@eetfuk3571 lol why do you think Conor never fought him again? Aldo was fighting emotional and rushed Conor which is the worst thing you can do against him.
the casuals still haven't figured it all out lll. Chad is what 5 ft 6 ? , took the fight on short notice and no camp , literally off the couch. mcbum is bigger then a lightweight , thats how he made out so well in ufc, thats his real talent , the ability to.lose a lot of weight. mcbum got fucking whooped until Chad gassed out ! lol , of course no rematch from conor.
Chad lost, first off, so just accept it. Short notice is always just an excuse. If he didn't feel like he should be in there, he should have stayed away. Secondly, most people who go around calling everyone "casuals", are typically the actual "casuals"...
Mendes didn't took the fight from the couch, he was in gym all the time with Duayne Ludwig and Alpha Fail. McGregor had no ACL and took the fight in short notice too same goes with Mendes, McGregor took a direct shift of strategy because he was about to fight Aldo who has a completely different style from Mendes. McGregor beat him fair and square with disadvantage due to torn ACL. stop the excuses tiny brain.
Connor took some serious damage. Mendes really gave him hell. Respect to them both but I think Connor got lucky this time. I didn’t feel like he was on a higher level at all. Just lucky. But damn he has got a chin!
Ngl after watching these highlights I think Conor vs a full camp mendes would’ve been a different fight. I think Conor still would’ve took it. But I think it would’ve been a different type of fight.
How would Conor have taken that? He nearly died fighting the smallest, fattest, most unfit Mendes we've ever seen. Mendes the way he showed up for that second Aldo fight would raped him in there.
You can say about Mc Gregor what you want. He got the most respectful behavior after a fight of all fighters. No matter if he wins or loose, he is honorable and always shows much respect, even after the trashtalk before a fight. That's impressive and thats what a champ look like...
I truly believe that was the best version ever of Conor Mcgregor, bassicaly that was his rising prime. His stamina looks pretty good, his andurance also high and very sharp in movements. Lets just mention about his agility, it looks like his body was in a total harmony. I m pretty sure in that period his work ethic was one of the best, lately he started gas tanked a lot, that's being the result of alchool, drugs and not sleeping at nights. Anyways, what a fking fight! 😊
people not talking about how much mendes gave connor problems before the knock out. beast of a performance by both fighters.
I did.
Specially when you have no Camp. They fed Mendes to him without a fall camp.
Mendes was throwing bombs and dropping some serious elbows but it just wasn't enough Connor is a tough mfer
ohh yeah it was a good match up and really could have gone either way.
Yes after first round Conner looked shocked.

The fact that the crowd was THIS hot for that fight right after Lawler vs Macdonald is astonishing.

But just always came up short

I’ve always thought this was one of Connors toughest fights. If Chad would have had a full camp I think it might have gone differently
if Conor had an ACL, Chad is out under 4 mins in round 1. stop the excuses.
