+Maximus Decimus Meridius Listen to what the bald guy says it did the biggest numbers in UFC history why because of Connor and his hype people wanted to see if he could back up his words. He only does that to hype promote and sell the fight which as you have seen has been working incredibly well he is not really like that in real life he is to a point but that much he turns it to promote and sell his fight which is why he get the amount of money he does. Its like Mayweather they turn up there volume too 100 and people either want to see him lose badly or win after the fight there is no longer a reason to act like that after the fight especially now that he is carrying a company he is a company man now. You are seeing the real Connor here he is a good guy
+51dodoc he always is respectfull you know... ppl jus think that speakin ur mind is disrespectful....if u think sumthing is sumthing y is it disrespectful 2 say wat it is
Still absolutely breathless. I just froze in front of my TV. After all the arguing and shit that's been talked and the doubters and the realities of what's coming. For Conor to one punch ko aldo is absolutely time stopping
+Jack Jones That shit was insane, I was like, am I seeing this for real? Aldo never been Ko'd in his entire career, then Conor served it up. I am a fan of both fighters, Mcgregor v Aldo 2, make it happen Dana!
@Notprepared mcgregor knew this before the fight. That's why he practices that same maneuver in his locker room. He knew he would overextend. Its called studying your opponent. Not luck.
I was at an Irish Bar when Mcgregor knocked out Aldo. Soccer chants, champagne showers and Irish pride in full swing. My legs as well as my throat still hurt from all the chanting and jumping. What a great moment to witness.
in all fairness if Ronda gets a rematch after the beating she took Aldo has to get a rematch , hell let's get nuts UFC 200: DC vs Jones 2 - Holm vs Rousey 2 , Rockhold vs Weidman 2 - McGregor vs Aldo 2 Makes no sense but it would be funny af!!! lmmfao
His message and talking points have been absolutely consistent since he first broke on the scene. Go check out his earliest interviews in the UFC and listen. He hasn't changed a bit -- self-belief, self-confidence, loyalty, hard work.
McGregor just blows my mind! The way that he represents himself. At the age of 27 he carries himself so well and seems so gracious and respectful for everything he has. He has earned everything that he he has got.
Roman T but he is... the highest paid fighter, granted Dana pushed for it but he could see the talent Conor would and did bring to the UFC. It wouldn’t be where it is without him
+Greasy Harold this is what i said .it was totally fixed .just so they could keep conor thier cash cow and make a rematch to make more money look at the dustin fight and the deigo fight they both drop to the ground the same way they were fixed as fuck and now this fight was .im done with the UFC man this is the last ufc fight i watch because the ufc is 10 times more corrupt than boxing and you can see dana is a slim balls .who is only interested in making money .i just feel sorry for all the people who paid thousands to go and watch the fight live .ill stick to boxing at least that isnt half as corrupt as ufc .
+Brian Nielsen Hahahahahahahaha. You're so illiterate it's hilarious. That must mean you're uneducated, which also makes a lot of sense seeing how you think I'm on a bandwagon. "Shredded" hahahahahaha. The only thing shredded concerning you is the cheddar cheese on your nachos, mama's boy.
+Pistolvania It was fixed...Connor said he´d knock him out in the first round at the first exchange. It was fixed. Nothing aldo would do could change it. Fucking Connor always fixing his fights himself. Probably betting huge money on himself, and then is a douchebag and decides to beat everyone. Definitely a fixed fight.
Genuine props and respect to Aldo for having the balls to step in the cage after hes been mentally battered. Hate to say but Conor stripped him away of his self belief. walking up to the cage he seemed like a sacrificial lamb about to get fed to a lion, scared stiff. respect to both. Aldo nuthuggers are in an underground bunker planning their next move hhahaha
+bendlor I was totally with mcgregor, but you gotta admit, despite it not being anything about luck, that it was a shame it ended that way. The real fight never got going. To me, it feels like connor is the hardcore irish schoolboy, while Aldo, is the hardcore boy from the slum. They are from different cultures, but they´re the same in the way how they fought their way up. Both are great fighters. I just wish people would say things how they are. I love Connor for his confidence, entertainer, great style, and a very skilled fighter, he´s able to predict to some extend, he´s good with mind games. If Aldo would start beating him or someone else, and he´d realisde in a fight he´s in trouble, if the self-doubt comes into play. Thats where he´ll (most likely) absolutely break. But his aura is so strong its hard to break, but that would be the thing where okay he´s going down. Fans, everything would go down for him. While Aldo did seem very nervous and tense. The fact he looked down is something he always does. But he just seemed a tad too aggresive, and nervous. They´re both great fighters. A rematch would be an excellent fight. But the irish tough school boy vs the slum hardcore kid is really a way you can describe the way they grew up. Both hardcore fuckers. Connor is the man. But Aldo is still as good as he was, whether or not he lost in such a humiliating way. It doesnt take anything away from that.
+bendlor this is what i said .it was totally fixed .just so they could keep conor thier cash cow and make a rematch to make more money look at the dustin fight and the deigo fight they both drop to the ground the same way they were fixed as fuck and now this fight was .im done with the UFC man this is the last ufc fight i watch because the ufc is 10 times more corrupt than boxing and you can see dana is a slim balls .who is only interested in making money .i just feel sorry for all the people who paid thousands to go and watch the fight live .ill stick to boxing at least that isnt half as corrupt as ufc .

+North American UA-camr actually, it's the UFC's official UA-cam channel. I wouldn't doubt that he'd watch his own post fight conference. He cares about his image. So it's only natural to watch himself. Seeing is i'm a top comment, chances are he will see my comment and know we Irish/Americans are proud of him. Go be a negative nancy somewhere else.
+FromPoetryToRap Also his voice is totally not like you´d expect. He seems like a really really kind guy and you could see how he was looking at Rockhold trying to get eye contact and smiling wanting to congratulate him. very good guy and amazing fighter. Wish more was like that.
+FromPoetryToRap Seriously. Yoel kind of scares me. Watching him fight and seeing his mannerisms in the ring makes him look like a fighter who is completely in control of himself mentally and physically. I think Yoel is going to dominate when he gets his chance whomever it is that has the belt at the time.
He’s so cringe. You can tell he’s a weird dude. He’s a nice guy but he gets walked over just like Dwayne coming to his gym/camp (Team AlphaMale) and taking Tj Dillashaw when Uriah recruited him out of highschool and took him under his wing and taught him so much. Tj is a fake snake anyway.
He never beat a top 5 fighter, he can't defeat a wrestler, his opponent took the fight on two weeks noticed and wasn't in shape, it was a lucky shot, Jose took a dive. How many excuses can you make to discredit a guy? I think he could be the modern day Muhammad Ali, hes brash, outspoken, confident and hes got that "it factor" where you either love him or hate him but everyone want's to see him fight.
Luke's a snake in the grass before this fight he was talking mad shit about Mcgregor and at this conference he has the balls to shake his hand?? What happened to slapping Mcgregor around like you said you'd do?
sasukefangirl4lyfe true i just watched an interview where he said he called Conor a fake champ and he said Conor is a leprauchaun or some shit and now he's acting cool i can't stand these hypocrites
1850 dislikes 1850 people who're intimidated by his success 1850 who can't put their feelings aside and recognise the true greatness they're watching P4P #1
nidge18 still in shock all of the doubters! Aldo just like Conner said will never be the same a broken man ! If Aldo tried Conner again it would stop his heart and blow his mind too pieces !
"I felt when we stared down, I felt his right hand was twitching, which was a subtle tell for me. He is ready to unload that right hand and I feel that will be a downfall for him. if he lets that right hand go, I will not be there. I simply enter the way I enter, and that is enough, they either overextend or they shrink away, but either way it is not good for them. I will create traps and dead-space inside that octagon and i will walk him into that dead space, but all of a sudden he will be in danger. We will collide in the middle of the octagon and José will fall on the first exchange." - Conor McGregor
I think Conor's at his best during interviews like these, really shows he's honestly a good guy, and is capable of speaking his mind and in a way that lures you into it and not just television noise like some other fighters chirp. You generally are interested in what he's going to say. He had my small doubts but overall a great new champion, look forward to next year.
+EatBars Why are you in shock! Were underestimating Conor and Luke? I mean it was clear from day 1 that Conor already won Jose in a mind war and would clearly out fight and KO him. Luke is way better MMA fighter than Chris. He always was the best fighter coming into the UFC. I think Yoel could not compete agains Luke.
Esna Narantsogt I underestimated Luke for sure and I did think McGregor would win the fight, but not that fast. It's just such a rarity to see two new champs in one night.
Conor really is something else. I've been a fan since his debut and knew he was destined for great things, but he's completely eclipsed anything I expected. The guy is entertaining as hell, he's bringing in a whole new approach to training methods, he can sell a fight better than anyone, he has people beaten before they even fight, every time he gets in the octogon he gives an awesome performance. And now he's taking charge of press conferences. The man is something special.
+FattyMMA in case you haven't noticed Connor only acts like that when the cameras are on, when Aldo walked in on him at the tuf house mcgregor was shocked ALDO was there and Aldo said so himself he was being nothing but respectful
+RENE HERNANDEZ yeah of course, I keep telling my friends who buy too much into his persona that it's just for promotion. he is actually a goofy humble guy
Frankie The P4P Answer will derail McGregor in 9 seconds I Predict These Things Well, we learned anything can happen, but Conor really is special. I will never bet against him. The dude is operating on an entirely different spectrum. And this coming from a former McGregor hater.
+davidn11 no chance is a bit strong. dos anjos will be favored but not that heavily. it would be silly to discount cerrone. also most gave no chance to Holm and I'm guessing McGregor was the only one calling first round knockout. so no chance is a horrible prediction for any fight in the ufc. if a dude has knockout power then there is always a chance.
+Obinna Africa Great idea, I know the reason why Aldo wont get a rematch is because Conor is making the UFC so much money and popularity, if they gave Aldo an immediate rematch, they could lose their main source of income...funny too, Conor made Aldo so mad that Aldo attacked first and Mcgregor countered, that was Aldo's mistake, he should have been more careful and timed out Conor's movements better gradually.
+mike lee Aldo doesn't match up well against Conor. All of Aldo's UFC wins has been against inferior strikers while Conor is just the opposite. Edgar is a much more dangerous fighter for Conor with his chain wrestling and foot work. If the UFC wanted to keep Conor undefeated they would give him Aldo again, not Cerrone or Edgar like they're planning now. I suspect we'll have Cerrone vs McGregor for the Lightweight strap as the next fight. This is assuming Cerrone wins this weekend which I think he will. Not sure how Dos Anjos will look under the new drug testing policy but rumors have been flying and usually where there is smoke there's fire. By the way Aldo's team is now 0-8 since the PED testing went into effect. Both Barao and Aldo, two undefeated monster champions in the UFC, have been been KO'd easily.
william miller Before he went and did a movie, José has always wanted a fight on 212, Holloway before was saying that he "wanted to spend time with his children"
+Breyden Burger He's far from a has been. We just witnesed Yoel Romero who is only 2 years younger than Silva beat Jacare... Age is just a number. The Spider is still one of the best fighters out there, easily.
+PayneGFX Ummm Khabib never turns up and literally has been injured for so long it isn't funny. So booking him to fight Conor is stupid. Basically Khabib wouldn't turn up and Conor would end up fighting some bum replacement. Cowboy will lose to Anjos, Then you can do Anjos vs Conor.
+John Kane WELL SPOKEN WHEN I FIRST SAW THAT KNOCKOUT I IMMEDIATELY LET IT TELL ME THAT JOSE SUCKS BUT NOW THAT I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT I REALIZE.... DAMN JOSE IS A BEAST....... SO YOU ARE RIGHT WE WILL SEE AND PREDICT THAT JOSE WILL NOT BEAT CONOR BUT I THINK FRANKIE COULD GET IT DONE
+John Hurt you guys are truly a prime example of a blind hater fuck Jose this is the new era now focus on what's real an not what could be Connor mcgregor is the champion and always will be you have to remember that Jose Aldo figth every year so no shit he hasn't lost in 10 years he fights every year
+John Kane He was champion of a growing division just like Ronda. He only held the ufc belt for 5 years and fought 1 fight a year for half of them. Conor is expected to fight 3 times this upcoming year.. just sayin
very inspiring to be able to witness Connor rise to glory. I have no doubt sky is the limit for him and I'll gladly watch him break every record he sets his mind on. Very happy for Irish people too, you deserved someone like this.
Most Amazing ppv ive seen in a long while, Proud of how both new champs carry themselves, one hell of a night! It is so rare these days to see somebody this real not get dragged down by all the bullshit...Never seen a champ call his shots and his own press conference! gd i love it!
Gratz McGregor I want to see rematch McGregor vs Aldo part 2 Getting caught ,different from getting dominated Junior dos santos vs Cain velasquez is example
+Victor DeLeon Really! Well Rafael is very strong and probably bigger than Conor but man Conor can crush him with his precision and power. Dos Anjos will be crashed in 2nd round or the 3rd. Mark my word!
When he said 'winner's focus on what they can control' that was very taoist of him, he's clearly a bright lad in control of his own mind - a high percentage of people focus on what others are doing and forget about themselves.
+SmallGekasCBCNR Dana does a backstage interview that's on youtube and says he has to go somewhere to deal with things, and i think Aldo was just embarrassed as i can't imagine him having to go to hospital after 1 punch.
I still got Jose Aldo in a rematch. I think Mcgregor is in a position really similar to Ronda Rousey, everything seemed to fall in perfect place for them at the perfect time. Ronda sort of got exposed by Miesha Tate by getting hit a couple of times. The holes in Mcgregors game were exposed by Chad Mendes by not defending a single takedown and being taken down as soon as the bell rang, he also did not transition once on the floor. Chad mendes was beating him up for 1 and a half rounds. I understand how skilled Mcgregor is at standing and realize that he has the knock out power to knock out anybody but that is just not enough. Look at Anthony Johnson he has the knock out power to put anybody to sleep even Jon Jones but he got to a level of competition where he had to use his other skill sets other than knockout power to win fights and he just could not do it. Look at Ronda Rousey she got to a level of competition where she had to use her other skill sets other than her judo and arm bars and she just could not do it. All of the most dominant champions were well versed in everything Anderson Silva,JonJones,GSP i just dont see that on Mcgregor. I hope he proves me wrong and chokes a couple of people out because he can really make the UFC explode and become bigger than it already is.
I've seen other people make that comparison because they are both big talkers, just because Rhonda went out doesn't mean he will too. He's an amazing fighter and he's proved it over and over. He did defence a take down against Chad, just before he KO's him he defended one. Also that doesn't mean anything, Chad is amazing on the ground and McGregor didn't let him submit him or let him capitalise too much, I'll not pretend Chad didn't win on the ground but McGregor didn't let him finish him which is what matters.
Don't even try to compare the 2 LMAO McGregor hasn't been outclassed to this day and people are acting like the people McGregor's beaten are garbage and lack skill but they all are great fighters. That said, Aldo was fucking tilted coming into this, McGregor's been playing mind games for months and Aldo seriously fell right into his hands, there should be a rematch. But not for a year or so.
Seriously. He took out the number 1 ranked guy (at the time), in spectacular fashion with a 2nd round KO. Then, in his next fight, he beats the 5 year Champion in Jose Aldo via 13 SECOND KO in the 1st round, a guy who was ranked #1 on UFC's P4P list. Where does that put Conor on the P4P list?
+victimhood v giving I think you're right. Not #1 quite yet, but I'd say Top 5 as well. The UFC agrees, as they just updated their official rankings and now have Conor at #3 overall (behind DJ at #1 and JBJ at #2). EDIT: After thinking about it, it was pretty damn hard coming up with my current Top 5. After the first 3 spots, it becomes very hard to decide the next two, simply because the rest of the guys on the list don't really have very impressive streaks or haven't defended their belts for long. While McGregor hasn't defended yet, he has an incredibly impressive streak of 6 KO's, and took out the #1 and Champ consecutively. The same cannot be said for anyone else on the list. Also, I think Aldo should still be in the Top 10 based on his history and level of opponents he'd beaten prior to McGregor. As for #5, I'm inclined to give it to Rockhold, based on what he's done in the 5 fights since his KO loss to a roided up Belfort (who is a completely different fighter without the juice, and someone I think Rockhold DESTROYS if he's not on TRT), an impressive 5 finishes in a row. This was tough, though, to say the least. 1. Jones 2. DJ 3. McGregor 4. Cormier 5. Rockhold 6. Werdum 7. Dillashaw 8. Lawler 9. RDA 10. Aldo
I'm impressed with how prompt, calm and mannerly he is in this press conference. if only he was like this all the time. I'd consider myself a fan, until then I'll be waiting for Aldo's return
Jose Aldo was defeated before he even stepped foot in the octagon. What we witnessed Saturday night was an exhibition in the power and contagiousness of one's self confidence and energy, and the way a larger than life aura can for better or worse, affect others.
Every now and then a fighter comes along where the standard rules of engagement just do not apply. A few generations back in was Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr, who we all came to know as Muhammad Ali. At first his braggadocios style was off putting and unusual, but time and time again he displayed something in the ring that transcended the sport. In the 1980's it was "Iron Mike" Tyson who was decimating opponents left and right and now 30 years later has become something like the Justin Bieber for grown men. All Jokes aside, Conor McGregor is something special indeed. Whether hes buying into "the secret" or some other quasi-philosophical knowledge, he has definitely got the "It factor" that we see only once in a lifetime. For a while I thought Jon Jones was possibly going to be the once in a lifetime fighter, but even he seems to pale in comparison to "The Notorious" Make no mistake about it, Jon "Bones" Jones is one spectacular fighter in his own right. I for one, buy every UFC PPV, and when McGregor is on it, I can barely contain my excitement. Call me a fanboy, call me whatever, but Mr. McGregor is a fucking warrior with a dynamite left and a finishing rate that is almost too unbelievable to comprehend. Lets just quickly put it in perspective for anyone interested enough to know. When you look at his statistics and when you really take a long hard look at who he is as a fighter, what his strengths are and what he brings to the table, its hard to deny that we are looking at someone incredibly gifted and talented and quite possibly someone leaps and bounds ahead of his competitors. After all, he just knocked out Jose Aldo Jr in 13 seconds flat.(with the exact move hes practicing in this video) If that is not impressive enough as it is, Jose Aldo Jr. is the only champ the UFC ever had at 145 lbs, hes somebody who hasnt lost in over 10 years and hes also somebody who has NEVER been knocked out in his entire career. Conor Mcgregor is truly one of the most exciting, dominate and entertaining fighters to come along since the heyday of boxing. Now add the fact that this man, who weighs in at 145 lbs for his fights, in a division where most of the men competing, aside from a limited few, are not typically known for their incredible power or finishing ability, then it gets even more impressive. Here is the bottom line, people: This McGregor kid has such a presence in the cage that in a career that spans 21 professional fights, in 19 victories, he has only seen the judges once........... ONCE. To make that even MORE impressive, the only reason it even made it to the judges to begin with is because McGregor blew his ACL (knee ligament) at the beginning of the 2nd round. His opponent, Max Holloway, who is currently riding an 8 fight win streak himself, over top ranked contenders, was getting absolutely lit up by McGregors superior striking. Sit down and get comfortable folks, this mans championship reign is going to be something beautiful. And yes, I do see him being the 1st two weight world champion to defend both belts CONSECUTIVELY. Just like he predicted. Sorry for the length of my comment but God Damn, this guy really is the Ali of our time. The haters should stop hating and enjoy the masterpiece every time he makes that walk. #conorbless.
It’s crazy how none of these fighters are fighting now I mean they are active now but they haven’t taken a fight in a while. How times have changed and no vid back then so lucky we were.
The fact that they are giving Ronda a rematch, who WAS outclassed and not giving Jose another crack at Mcgregor is NONSENSE!The fight was over in mere seconds.You don't think people want to see them fight againt?Seriously?What?That was the first time Aldo had lost in 10 FRICKIN' YEARS!!!It just goes to show you that the UFC had issues w/ Aldo.And because he was his own man and didn't ALWAYS do what the bosses wanted this seems to be the outcome.And the fact now that Conor's coach is stating that it's too hard on Conor to make weight, is OUTRAGEOUS!Why the hell would you have him go through all those weight cuts to begin with ?That's NUTS!I tell you what, if CM doesn't defend that title, at the VERY LEAST (in my eyes) the dude ain't a real champion.For Dana and the upper brass if you don't give Jose Aldo a rematch (because I feel I am not alone in this, people WANNA see it) you DEFINATELY SHOULD lose your promoter's license.JUST CRAZY!!!
+spiritualED Aldo takes forever to get ready. He fights once a year, and this fight took two damn years to make. The reason the division was doing poorly was because he was not an active champion. I feel like he got too many passes and should work his way up.
+spiritualED who is Holly gonna fight?Miesha,the chick who got beat by Ronda twice and they werent even close fights.Zingano was destroyed by Ronda is seconds.Jessica Eye is on a 2 fight loss streak.Its the fight that makes sense.People would be more excited for McGregor/Edgar than McGregor/Aldo 2 simply because Aldo was put away so quick.Edgar didnt take damage last fight and McGregor only got hit once.If they wanted to they could fight early 2015 while Aldo might want to take time off after losing his belt and undefeated streak in 13 seconds
+mindo61600 So Holly should fight Ronda again (this soon) and beat her twice like Ronda beat Miesha?I don't follow your weak logic.If Holly doesn't fight Miesha i'm fine with that.My point was they are giving Ronda a rematch, which I don't believe she deserves ( this quickly anyways).And Aldo who has been the ONLY UFC Featherweight champion and undefeated in 10 years no rematch because he (and his fault make no mistake) didn't really respect Conor's punching power. on the surface anyways, does not seem fair.The UFC IS playing favorites.I get it to some extent.That's life.You scratch my back and i'll scratch yours.Rousey was, for lack of a better word a "Company" person where-as Jose, not so much.But when Dana says he puts on fights people want.I just don't buy into his logic here.AT ALL!It might be true that more people DO wanna see Edgar b4 a POSSIBLE Aldo v. Mcgregor 2 here.But, if it doesn't happen now, Conor won't be sticking around long enough for it to take place in the near future.I doubt that CM even faces Edgar.He's moving up a weight class.Cut & run.LOL.The dude, again in my eyes, to be a TRUE CHAMPION you defend THAT BELT!If the fight played out in reverse, you don't think the UFC would of given Mcgregor an immediate rematch?Uh, yeah they would.I believe they are just happy Aldo is in no position to negotiate on his terms anymore because he no longer holds a belt.And for the time being anyways they wanna keep it that way.And as far as your Zingano comparison, she NEVER WAS a champion, much less for 10 YEARS! So that scenario is weak also.
Fucking hell, I'm Brazilian and was rooting for Aldo, but you gotta respect McGregor. Props to the man, well deserved. Some people get a little too carried away by the promoting aspects of the fights, but when it's all said and done, nobody is doing it better than McGregor; both when promoting and showing up and performing.
On a not so serious note, Faber has TERRIBLE style. Seriously, the guy is wearing a blazer/peacoat hybrid, a button up shirt, and a headband (on top of his cornrows). What. The. Hell...Don't get it twisted, I like him as a fighter and he seems like a cool cat. He just needs help with the wardrobe.
Did McGregor fire Dana White?
hahaha
you made my day xD
"Dana was never my friend!"
+Greg Cunningham That's fuckin illegal
+Greg Cunningham HAHAHA awesome. Dana couldn't be happier!
Holy shit he spoke well,everyone calling him a clown you clearly dont know him
+Maximus Decimus Meridius
He is always respectful after the fight and that's the McGrego I like!
+Maximus Decimus Meridius Listen to what the bald guy says it did the biggest numbers in UFC history why because of Connor and his hype people wanted to see if he could back up his words.
He only does that to hype promote and sell the fight which as you have seen has been working incredibly well he is not really like that in real life he is to a point but that much he turns it to promote and sell his fight which is why he get the amount of money he does.
Its like Mayweather they turn up there volume too 100 and people either want to see him lose badly or win after the fight there is no longer a reason to act like that after the fight especially now that he is carrying a company he is a company man now.
You are seeing the real Connor here he is a good guy
+eljefereal That's what im saying it's connor but with the volume turned up to 100 but deep down he is a good guy
Boxwith straight Right
I know, I do not blame him but he is just so more likeable when he is respectful.
+51dodoc he always is respectfull you know... ppl jus think that speakin ur mind is disrespectful....if u think sumthing is sumthing y is it disrespectful 2 say wat it is
Still absolutely breathless. I just froze in front of my TV. After all the arguing and shit that's been talked and the doubters and the realities of what's coming. For Conor to one punch ko aldo is absolutely time stopping
+Jack Jones That shit was insane, I was like, am I seeing this for real? Aldo never been Ko'd in his entire career, then Conor served it up. I am a fan of both fighters, Mcgregor v Aldo 2, make it happen Dana!
Jack Jones till this fuckin day I can’t believe he finished the great Jose Aldo that fuckin easily bro. Conor was a fuckin monster in these days.
That's what happens when a weight bully picks on midgets but yeah kudos for the win
@Dmsv I don't like Conor but no such thing as luck in this sport
@Notprepared mcgregor knew this before the fight. That's why he practices that same maneuver in his locker room. He knew he would overextend. Its called studying your opponent. Not luck.
I was at an Irish Bar when Mcgregor knocked out Aldo. Soccer chants, champagne showers and Irish pride in full swing. My legs as well as my throat still hurt from all the chanting and jumping. What a great moment to witness.
Must have been amazing 😊
Wow I wish I could've been at that bar
Conor would be a great motivational speaker!
+griimey Lol, he already is.
+griimey
not really.
+Devastating Impact yeah other ppl got in the cage an helped him land a perfect punch
+griimey Motivation speeches are pure BS working for maybe 15 minutes. If someone needs them he aint going anywhere.
Why is Aldo on the thumbnail is the real question
Feel bad for Aldo. Congrats to Conor.
+Eddie Gee You must be very new. Aldo NEVER looks at his opponents before the fights. NEVER.
Seriously, go watch his past fights
Aldo always fights like that. He walked out same as he always does. That left hand is serious.
+Hugo Stiglitz true..dumb fucks lol
+PerfectLao didnt keep it composed*
+Eddie Gee If you watch his other fights Aldo looks down and wont look his opponent in the eyes until the bell.
Nothing more inspiring than a man who says he is gonna do something and does it.
Teran Lyons even if its rape!
Holy shit they literally just gave him the podium 😂😂
in all fairness if Ronda gets a rematch after the beating she took
Aldo has to get a rematch , hell let's get nuts
UFC 200: DC vs Jones 2 - Holm vs Rousey 2 ,
Rockhold vs Weidman 2 - McGregor vs Aldo 2
Makes no sense but it would be funny af!!! lmmfao
+Ricardo Pina The UFC has shown its true colours. Aldo absolutely deserves a rematch.
Steve Steiner agreed ,
but let's not judge already , it's still nothing oficial.
+Steve Steiner He pulled out of the fight once and got knocked out in 13 seconds, moron. No, he doesn't get a rematch.
+Ricardo Pina absolutely
+Senju haha my friend u should go to the hospital i think u are overdosing on all dat salt
id just like to remind everyone that sage northcut is only 19
+Dmetal23 hahaha just stop.
hahaha
+Dmetal23 He has to improve his ground game if he wants to be with the top ten, his last fight showed holes in his ground game.
sage is good but not #1 contender good
+freddy kalolo He's not #1 contender good, because he's already championship material baby!.
am watching this after conor vs alveres omg this guy says and does
same, it's crazy freaky what he does
Same.
His message and talking points have been absolutely consistent since he first broke on the scene. Go check out his earliest interviews in the UFC and listen. He hasn't changed a bit -- self-belief, self-confidence, loyalty, hard work.
I am watching this after Conor vs khabib this guy says and don’t do shit
@@medleminahmed2134 what's we have over here!!! Cuppa haters 😂
McGregor just blows my mind! The way that he represents himself. At the age of 27 he carries himself so well and seems so gracious and respectful for everything he has. He has earned everything that he he has got.
Russ Walker he isn't
Roman T but he is... the highest paid fighter, granted Dana pushed for it but he could see the talent Conor would and did bring to the UFC. It wouldn’t be where it is without him
Welp.

I can guarantee that he said 2 rounds, and then His gas tank runs out
Holloway would get destroyed, if he fought with Mcgregor again. The only reason the first fight went to decision, was because of Mcgregor's knee.
+Brian Nielsen I guess your covering that for him.
+Brian Nielsen Calm down fatty, either way he would get destroyed by McGregor.
+Brian Nielsen Hahahahahahahaha. You're so illiterate it's hilarious. That must mean you're uneducated, which also makes a lot of sense seeing how you think I'm on a bandwagon. "Shredded" hahahahahaha. The only thing shredded concerning you is the cheddar cheese on your nachos, mama's boy.

+Pistolvania It was fixed...Connor said he´d knock him out in the first round at the first exchange. It was fixed. Nothing aldo would do could change it. Fucking Connor always fixing his fights himself. Probably betting huge money on himself, and then is a douchebag and decides to beat everyone. Definitely a fixed fight.
Genuine props and respect to Aldo for having the balls to step in the cage after hes been mentally battered. Hate to say but Conor stripped him away of his self belief. walking up to the cage he seemed like a sacrificial lamb about to get fed to a lion, scared stiff. respect to both.
Aldo nuthuggers are in an underground bunker planning their next move hhahaha
+bendlor I agree 100%
Ethered all these brazilians
+bendlor I was totally with mcgregor, but you gotta admit, despite it not being anything about luck, that it was a shame it ended that way. The real fight never got going. To me, it feels like connor is the hardcore irish schoolboy, while Aldo, is the hardcore boy from the slum. They are from different cultures, but they´re the same in the way how they fought their way up. Both are great fighters. I just wish people would say things how they are.
I love Connor for his confidence, entertainer, great style, and a very skilled fighter, he´s able to predict to some extend, he´s good with mind games. If Aldo would start beating him or someone else, and he´d realisde in a fight he´s in trouble, if the self-doubt comes into play. Thats where he´ll (most likely) absolutely break. But his aura is so strong its hard to break, but that would be the thing where okay he´s going down. Fans, everything would go down for him.
While Aldo did seem very nervous and tense. The fact he looked down is something he always does. But he just seemed a tad too aggresive, and nervous. They´re both great fighters. A rematch would be an excellent fight.
But the irish tough school boy vs the slum hardcore kid is really a way you can describe the way they grew up. Both hardcore fuckers. Connor is the man. But Aldo is still as good as he was, whether or not he lost in such a humiliating way. It doesnt take anything away from that.

+rollie4 same here. He was as calm as I have ever seen him. He seemed almost relieved that he finally got here.

I love how friendly Yoel was to Rockhold when they left the conference
+FromPoetryToRap It's a mind game...they may be fighting in the future ;P
mike lee seemed pretty genuine to me, man.
+FromPoetryToRap Also his voice is totally not like you´d expect. He seems like a really really kind guy and you could see how he was looking at Rockhold trying to get eye contact and smiling wanting to congratulate him. very good guy and amazing fighter.
Wish more was like that.
Yoel is a good dude
+FromPoetryToRap Seriously. Yoel kind of scares me. Watching him fight and seeing his mannerisms in the ring makes him look like a fighter who is completely in control of himself mentally and physically.
I think Yoel is going to dominate when he gets his chance whomever it is that has the belt at the time.
That sweat band on Urijiah is so out of place, dude is wearing a sweatband with a suit ahah.
He’s so cringe. You can tell he’s a weird dude. He’s a nice guy but he gets walked over just like Dwayne coming to his gym/camp (Team AlphaMale) and taking Tj Dillashaw when Uriah recruited him out of highschool and took him under his wing and taught him so much. Tj is a fake snake anyway.

He never beat a top 5 fighter, he can't defeat a wrestler, his opponent took the fight on two weeks noticed and wasn't in shape, it was a lucky shot, Jose took a dive.

"I felt when we stared down, I felt his right hand was twitching, which was a subtle tell for me. He is ready to unload that right hand and I feel that will be a downfall for him. if he lets that right hand go, I will not be there. I simply enter the way I enter, and that is enough, they either overextend or they shrink away, but either way it is not good for them. I will create traps and dead-space inside that octagon and i will walk him into that dead space, but all of a sudden he will be in danger. We will collide in the middle of the octagon and José will fall on the first exchange." - Conor McGregor
I think Conor's at his best during interviews like these, really shows he's honestly a good guy, and is capable of speaking his mind and in a way that lures you into it and not just television noise like some other fighters chirp. You generally are interested in what he's going to say. He had my small doubts but overall a great new champion, look forward to next year.
one word
LEGEND
we are lucky to be in this times
Am I the only one who's in shock after we got 2 new champs?
I'm with you brother I thought that Weidman would retain his belt and that Conor would knock him out in the second round
+jgreen114 exactly what I thought
jgreen114 Yeah man. I predicted McGregor to win as well, and I was hoping Rockhold would win, but I didn't ever imagine them both winning.
+EatBars Why are you in shock! Were underestimating Conor and Luke? I mean it was clear from day 1 that Conor already won Jose in a mind war and would clearly out fight and KO him. Luke is way better MMA fighter than Chris. He always was the best fighter coming into the UFC. I think Yoel could not compete agains Luke.
Esna Narantsogt I underestimated Luke for sure and I did think McGregor would win the fight, but not that fast. It's just such a rarity to see two new champs in one night.
Conor really is something else. I've been a fan since his debut and knew he was destined for great things, but he's completely eclipsed anything I expected. The guy is entertaining as hell, he's bringing in a whole new approach to training methods, he can sell a fight better than anyone, he has people beaten before they even fight, every time he gets in the octogon he gives an awesome performance. And now he's taking charge of press conferences. The man is something special.
Uriah looked like malibu's most wanted
Conor was very humbled by this fight, but not because he lost because he won and seems very matured by it congrats champ #andNew
we will see in the weeks to come. he was humble to Chad too for a bit.
+FattyMMA in case you haven't noticed Connor only acts like that when the cameras are on, when Aldo walked in on him at the tuf house mcgregor was shocked ALDO was there and Aldo said so himself he was being nothing but respectful
+RENE HERNANDEZ yeah of course, I keep telling my friends who buy too much into his persona that it's just for promotion. he is actually a goofy humble guy

+Kudo no chance, Dos Anjos wins
+davidn11 no chance is a bit strong. dos anjos will be favored but not that heavily. it would be silly to discount cerrone. also most gave no chance to Holm and I'm guessing McGregor was the only one calling first round knockout. so no chance is a horrible prediction for any fight in the ufc. if a dude has knockout power then there is always a chance.
So true

Max Holloway VS. Aldo. The winner fights the winner of Frankie VS. Conor. Sounds good to me........
+Obinna Africa Great idea, I know the reason why Aldo wont get a rematch is because Conor is making the UFC so much money and popularity, if they gave Aldo an immediate rematch, they could lose their main source of income...funny too, Conor made Aldo so mad that Aldo attacked first and Mcgregor countered, that was Aldo's mistake, he should have been more careful and timed out Conor's movements better gradually.
+mike lee Aldo cried a lot afterwards.
+Obinna Africa aldo DESTROYS Max. There is NO comp there. Connor had some advantages Holloway had none
+Obinna Africa Sounds great to me man. Frankie deserves the next shot and he deserves is asap.
+mike lee
Aldo doesn't match up well against Conor. All of Aldo's UFC wins has been against inferior strikers while Conor is just the opposite. Edgar is a much more dangerous fighter for Conor with his chain wrestling and foot work. If the UFC wanted to keep Conor undefeated they would give him Aldo again, not Cerrone or Edgar like they're planning now. I suspect we'll have Cerrone vs McGregor for the Lightweight strap as the next fight. This is assuming Cerrone wins this weekend which I think he will. Not sure how Dos Anjos will look under the new drug testing policy but rumors have been flying and usually where there is smoke there's fire. By the way Aldo's team is now 0-8 since the PED testing went into effect. Both Barao and Aldo, two undefeated monster champions in the UFC, have been been KO'd easily.
2016 will be the year of rematches.

"What?"
"You're in my space. My name's there."
"Where?"

Already one of the greatest (UFC Mixed Martial Artists) of all times: He has revolutionized many aspects of the game.

BER2ERKER I know mate, but we're talking about Aldo right?
brilliant fighter, intelligent man...two components of a true champion
took over the press conference like a Boss!
I still got Jose Aldo in a rematch. I think Mcgregor is in a position really similar to Ronda Rousey, everything seemed to fall in perfect place for them at the perfect time. Ronda sort of got exposed by Miesha Tate by getting hit a couple of times. The holes in Mcgregors game were exposed by Chad Mendes by not defending a single takedown and being taken down as soon as the bell rang, he also did not transition once on the floor. Chad mendes was beating him up for 1 and a half rounds. I understand how skilled Mcgregor is at standing and realize that he has the knock out power to knock out anybody but that is just not enough. Look at Anthony Johnson he has the knock out power to put anybody to sleep even Jon Jones but he got to a level of competition where he had to use his other skill sets other than knockout power to win fights and he just could not do it. Look at Ronda Rousey she got to a level of competition where she had to use her other skill sets other than her judo and arm bars and she just could not do it. All of the most dominant champions were well versed in everything Anderson Silva,JonJones,GSP i just dont see that on Mcgregor. I hope he proves me wrong and chokes a couple of people out because he can really make the UFC explode and become bigger than it already is.
Just stop being salty Jesus hahahaha
I've seen other people make that comparison because they are both big talkers, just because Rhonda went out doesn't mean he will too. He's an amazing fighter and he's proved it over and over. He did defence a take down against Chad, just before he KO's him he defended one. Also that doesn't mean anything, Chad is amazing on the ground and McGregor didn't let him submit him or let him capitalise too much, I'll not pretend Chad didn't win on the ground but McGregor didn't let him finish him which is what matters.
Don't even try to compare the 2 LMAO
McGregor hasn't been outclassed to this day and people are acting like the people McGregor's beaten are garbage and lack skill but they all are great fighters.
That said, Aldo was fucking tilted coming into this, McGregor's been playing mind games for months and Aldo seriously fell right into his hands, there should be a rematch. But not for a year or so.
+garcialeonel13 Except he did defend 4/7 takedown attempts you pleb.
Seriously. He took out the number 1 ranked guy (at the time), in spectacular fashion with a 2nd round KO. Then, in his next fight, he beats the 5 year Champion in Jose Aldo via 13 SECOND KO in the 1st round, a guy who was ranked #1 on UFC's P4P list. Where does that put Conor on the P4P list?
top 5
+victimhood v giving I think you're right. Not #1 quite yet, but I'd say Top 5 as well. The UFC agrees, as they just updated their official rankings and now have Conor at #3 overall (behind DJ at #1 and JBJ at #2).
EDIT: After thinking about it, it was pretty damn hard coming up with my current Top 5. After the first 3 spots, it becomes very hard to decide the next two, simply because the rest of the guys on the list don't really have very impressive streaks or haven't defended their belts for long. While McGregor hasn't defended yet, he has an incredibly impressive streak of 6 KO's, and took out the #1 and Champ consecutively. The same cannot be said for anyone else on the list. Also, I think Aldo should still be in the Top 10 based on his history and level of opponents he'd beaten prior to McGregor. As for #5, I'm inclined to give it to Rockhold, based on what he's done in the 5 fights since his KO loss to a roided up Belfort (who is a completely different fighter without the juice, and someone I think Rockhold DESTROYS if he's not on TRT), an impressive 5 finishes in a row. This was tough, though, to say the least.
1. Jones
2. DJ
3. McGregor
4. Cormier
5. Rockhold
6. Werdum
7. Dillashaw
8. Lawler
9. RDA
10. Aldo
Dont forget that conor beat chad mendes with a torn knee!

Jose Aldo was defeated before he even stepped foot in the octagon. What we witnessed Saturday night was an exhibition in the power and contagiousness of one's self confidence and energy, and the way a larger than life aura can for better or worse, affect others.

Clearly that's not everyone else's reasons, though
+BeenPWNED because this video was getting streamed first. And ppl disliked it cuz conor wasnt in the first part of the press
Pissed Brazilians.
Every now and then a fighter comes along where the standard rules of engagement just do not apply. A few generations back in was Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr, who we all came to know as Muhammad Ali. At first his braggadocios style was off putting and unusual, but time and time again he displayed something in the ring that transcended the sport. In the 1980's it was "Iron Mike" Tyson who was decimating opponents left and right and now 30 years later has become something like the Justin Bieber for grown men. All Jokes aside, Conor McGregor is something special indeed. Whether hes buying into "the secret" or some other quasi-philosophical knowledge, he has definitely got the "It factor" that we see only once in a lifetime. For a while I thought Jon Jones was possibly going to be the once in a lifetime fighter, but even he seems to pale in comparison to "The Notorious" Make no mistake about it, Jon "Bones" Jones is one spectacular fighter in his own right. I for one, buy every UFC PPV, and when McGregor is on it, I can barely contain my excitement. Call me a fanboy, call me whatever, but Mr. McGregor is a fucking warrior with a dynamite left and a finishing rate that is almost too unbelievable to comprehend. Lets just quickly put it in perspective for anyone interested enough to know. When you look at his statistics and when you really take a long hard look at who he is as a fighter, what his strengths are and what he brings to the table, its hard to deny that we are looking at someone incredibly gifted and talented and quite possibly someone leaps and bounds ahead of his competitors. After all, he just knocked out Jose Aldo Jr in 13 seconds flat.(with the exact move hes practicing in this video) If that is not impressive enough as it is, Jose Aldo Jr. is the only champ the UFC ever had at 145 lbs, hes somebody who hasnt lost in over 10 years and hes also somebody who has NEVER been knocked out in his entire career. Conor Mcgregor is truly one of the most exciting, dominate and entertaining fighters to come along since the heyday of boxing. Now add the fact that this man, who weighs in at 145 lbs for his fights, in a division where most of the men competing, aside from a limited few, are not typically known for their incredible power or finishing ability, then it gets even more impressive. Here is the bottom line, people: This McGregor kid has such a presence in the cage that in a career that spans 21 professional fights, in 19 victories, he has only seen the judges once........... ONCE. To make that even MORE impressive, the only reason it even made it to the judges to begin with is because McGregor blew his ACL (knee ligament) at the beginning of the 2nd round. His opponent, Max Holloway, who is currently riding an 8 fight win streak himself, over top ranked contenders, was getting absolutely lit up by McGregors superior striking. Sit down and get comfortable folks, this mans championship reign is going to be something beautiful. And yes, I do see him being the 1st two weight world champion to defend both belts CONSECUTIVELY. Just like he predicted. Sorry for the length of my comment but God Damn, this guy really is the Ali of our time. The haters should stop hating and enjoy the masterpiece every time he makes that walk. #conorbless.
+Steve Moores That was well said. completely agree.
And then he gets tapped out... Oops
49912190 Nd then he's two title chMp
Steve Moores "this mans championship reign is going to be something beautiful" lmao
It’s crazy how none of these fighters are fighting now I mean they are active now but they haven’t taken a fight in a while. How times have changed and no vid back then so lucky we were.
Goes to show you how fast the fight game moves. All these fighters aside from Max are almost invisible in these divisions nowadays
He even envisioned what he was going to say after he won.
The fact that they are giving Ronda a rematch, who WAS outclassed and not giving Jose another crack at Mcgregor is NONSENSE!The fight was over in mere seconds.You don't think people want to see them fight againt?Seriously?What?That was the first time Aldo had lost in 10 FRICKIN' YEARS!!!It just goes to show you that the UFC had issues w/ Aldo.And because he was his own man and didn't ALWAYS do what the bosses wanted this seems to be the outcome.And the fact now that Conor's coach is stating that it's too hard on Conor to make weight, is OUTRAGEOUS!Why the hell would you have him go through all those weight cuts to begin with ?That's NUTS!I tell you what, if CM doesn't defend that title, at the VERY LEAST (in my eyes) the dude ain't a real champion.For Dana and the upper brass if you don't give Jose Aldo a rematch (because I feel I am not alone in this, people WANNA see it) you DEFINATELY SHOULD lose your promoter's license.JUST CRAZY!!!
+spiritualED Aldo takes forever to get ready. He fights once a year, and this fight took two damn years to make. The reason the division was doing poorly was because he was not an active champion. I feel like he got too many passes and should work his way up.
+spiritualED who is Holly gonna fight?Miesha,the chick who got beat by Ronda twice and they werent even close fights.Zingano was destroyed by Ronda is seconds.Jessica Eye is on a 2 fight loss streak.Its the fight that makes sense.People would be more excited for McGregor/Edgar than McGregor/Aldo 2 simply because Aldo was put away so quick.Edgar didnt take damage last fight and McGregor only got hit once.If they wanted to they could fight early 2015 while Aldo might want to take time off after losing his belt and undefeated streak in 13 seconds
+spiritualED RR does not deserve a rematch.
+mindo61600 So Holly should fight Ronda again (this soon) and beat her twice like Ronda beat Miesha?I don't follow your weak logic.If Holly doesn't fight Miesha i'm fine with that.My point was they are giving Ronda a rematch, which I don't believe she deserves ( this quickly anyways).And Aldo who has been the ONLY UFC Featherweight champion and undefeated in 10 years no rematch because he (and his fault make no mistake) didn't really respect Conor's punching power. on the surface anyways, does not seem fair.The UFC IS playing favorites.I get it to some extent.That's life.You scratch my back and i'll scratch yours.Rousey was, for lack of a better word a "Company" person where-as Jose, not so much.But when Dana says he puts on fights people want.I just don't buy into his logic here.AT ALL!It might be true that more people DO wanna see Edgar b4 a POSSIBLE Aldo v. Mcgregor 2 here.But, if it doesn't happen now, Conor won't be sticking around long enough for it to take place in the near future.I doubt that CM even faces Edgar.He's moving up a weight class.Cut & run.LOL.The dude, again in my eyes, to be a TRUE CHAMPION you defend THAT BELT!If the fight played out in reverse, you don't think the UFC would of given Mcgregor an immediate rematch?Uh, yeah they would.I believe they are just happy Aldo is in no position to negotiate on his terms anymore because he no longer holds a belt.And for the time being anyways they wanna keep it that way.And as far as your Zingano comparison, she NEVER WAS a champion, much less for 10 YEARS! So that scenario is weak also.
+Sean Smith Being out-classed like that.I agree.She doesn't.
Where is Aldo????
He was crying
He is a people's fighter. He respects his fans and also the media. Congrats Conor! Well deserved
this maya guy impressed me
wow what a hell of a fighter he is
see the next champion here
McGregor is a class act. I love the guy. A+
Interesting fight in 155 would be CNR McGG vs Tony Ferguson
Maxx Biaggi This comment is now even more relevant
Great press conference. Other fighters need to take notes.
Fucking hell, I'm Brazilian and was rooting for Aldo, but you gotta respect McGregor. Props to the man, well deserved. Some people get a little too carried away by the promoting aspects of the fights, but when it's all said and done, nobody is doing it better than McGregor; both when promoting and showing up and performing.
Conor was born for the spotlight.
I'm Irish and happy McGregor won but why the fuck did he get the podium to himself????
madestonian other fighters were told to leave.
+Shantanu Moitra Aldo lost, get over it you bitch
+John Kinneen BECAUSE CONOR MCGREGOR = GOD
+John Kinneen Its a IRISH joke you fuckhead...lmao.
+John Kinneen Because the lesser heas had answered their questions? And he's the King?
End of third round was savage, probably should have been a stoppage right there
All that talk and he backed it up Well done Mr McGreGOAT
Although it was edited, Martin Luther King's speech was originally titled I have a dream...that I can be like Conor McGregor
Connor broke the internet in Ireland after the fight ...😁
I love how Maia english keeps getting better,
good stuff!
Lovin the black ops music at the end
On a not so serious note, Faber has TERRIBLE style. Seriously, the guy is wearing a blazer/peacoat hybrid, a button up shirt, and a headband (on top of his cornrows). What. The. Hell...Don't get it twisted, I like him as a fighter and he seems like a cool cat. He just needs help with the wardrobe.
I was for Aldo but congratulation to Conor.I'm sure Aldo will be back
Lol at the camera guy panning to Max Holloway when they said Romero.
Name of the theme in the last part of the video plz?
