yeah and ? he wasn't lying, Dustin was just a better MMA fighter, Conor was too focused on boxing and it ruined his style, in the 3rd fight Conor was also is amazing shape, he focused too much on kicking to get back to his old style and took a risk and fought with an injured leg that unfortunately snapped in the first round, he was still in amazing shape and obviously trained hard for it
It's like everything unraveled for Conor as a fighter at once. Got beat by Mayweather came back jumped in with Khabib who I think really changed him with that beating. Then his boxing stance betrays him, he gets his calves kicked and ko'd. He rematches goes back to his original style does look better but by now he's gotten figured out. Take Conor down in round one and keep mixing it up the tank will run dry. All his ko's but one in round one all his wins but one that matter at 145. Now he's had a serious injury. I think all that's reasonable to expect if they manage his comeback well is win some lose some have a little more Conor fun.
Wow Connor's longtime trainer and yes man said that? Who've guessed. He said that five times already and only "doesn't care about money" because he already made enough.
Yeah, I don't know what more we can see get broke or pounded or smeshed on the guy. I think he needs a couple/three tune ups but I don't know maybe that's not a possibility.
Ay dawg, you bring up a good point However, Chael is someone with legitimate experience with Kavanagh (?) and many other UFC coaches. With time, you learn who these people are when you work with them for so long. I'd not only rather take Chael's opinion to heart, but also take into consideration the good reputation of honesty and bluntness Kavanagh has built.
When? When does he miss a beat? When he loses to top 5 lightweights other then that he hasn't missed a single beat unless we talkin bout when khabib attacked his team this went a hid on a bus full of russian goons.. and then played victim like he didn't start the beef.
@@sukmynut yes that is him losing a beat if you go from being the champion of a division to not even being able to compete with the top 5 of a division and not having a win in that division since 2016 that is losing a beat
@@sukmynut you kidding? Dropped by a wrestler. That low of a fight IQ that he doesnt start checking calf kicks till its too late? jumping into a guilly? Shooting to clinch are Dustin cracked him. Not so much lost a beat but was he EVER great unless he was fighting midgets?

nah. he should be honest and say they have work to do but he never does. hes a yesman, says conors best hes ever been but hes been performing worse and worse each time since boxing mayweather. his last fight with poirier was an absolute disgrace
@@chike8674 ah yes. The parties in Monaco, south of France. Roaming around on the yacht and now another party in Ibiza. The man is enjoying his money, his time at the top level is done unfortunately.
Chael please watch the Stephen Thompson youtube video on Adesanya vs Pereira it is very interesting he breaks down both their previous matches I think Adesanya is so confident because stylistically he uses more head movement while Alex uses more of a high guard which is easier with the bigger gloves. Of course the KO power of Pereira is a big threat but the first 2 fights were close. Watch the video :)
which he hasnt. everytime john said hes best hes ever been its been the exact opposite. i dont even think he improved his boxing. he adopted more basic textbook style that fighters can read now. his style has completely gone to shit since the mayweather fight after boxing got into his head
Yeah getting that fire 🔥 back in your heart after being forced to take a break for letting a bone 🦴 heal from breaking is honestly a great thing. A invaluable thing for a highly successful athlete to regain. Chael has a great point 👍🏻 I want to see Conor at 170. Not fighting the same boring names at 155 again, seeing McGregor cutting weight to 155. No I want to see McGregor freely explore 170. Let's see how it goes.
When Uncle Chael hit 1M sub I was like ok ... he will probably take a little break, some well deserved vacations. Instead, he started posting 10x more videos. Legend.
It already starts… he is better than ever, he wasn’t prepared last fight, he is hungry this time, he is in the best shape ever… Am I the only one the could never see Connor fight and not miss it one bit?
How come is Chael saying that Connor is tired of 155 when he has literally only fought 4 times there and has lost three of them, that makes absolutely zero sense. And at 170 he had trouble fighting with Diaz, and despite that he wants to go and fight with Usman who is the number one pound for pound, that makes no sense either
Floyd and Khabib I can understand. Poirier, good as he is is not goat though, just another fighter and two losses to him means you have big holes in your game plan.
Coach Kavanagh is the type of Yes man Conor needs to remove from his camp. You can tell he won’t tell Conor anything he doesn’t want to hear, and keeps gassing him up whilst training. Conor has clearly lost a few beats and a good coach would highlight that to him. Whatever keeps the money coming into his bank account, I guess.
I doubt Kavanaugh wants to be a yes man, but he does seem pretty comfortable with the role and I doubt he wants to lose the paychecks. He knows Conor as well as anyone, so it's safe to assume this is what Conor wants from him these days.
Except his performance against Khabib was still better than all the other fighters who fought khabib and he did it hungover while partying and training poorly the whole camp. Then he defeated Cowboy at 170 in 40 seconds…
@@CKpremium1992 Firstly the UFC told Conor 6 months before he’d fight Khabib. Conor got dropped, slammed, smashed, slapped and choked. “It’s only business” and the only reason why it went 4 rounds is because Khabib wanted to beat his ass for 24 minutes then choke him. Don’t even dare say a win over Cowboy is good, that man has 7 losses in a row 🤦🏻♂️
I think people give Connor too hard of a time but, honestly, Connor does do it to himself with the way he behaves. I think Connor is still an elite fighter and he'll prove that. You can't put him in there with just anyone or else he'll put them in the hospital.
@@jacobeberhardt1649 People are confusing the fact that Conor isn't a specialist MMA fighter any more = he is like a Jake Paul type of exhibition fighter who sells merch and does interviews and stuff. He doesn't have the same interest in MMA now, he's focused on the McGregor company. So you're both kind of right. Yes people give him a hard time for it, but he's playing a character now and that character isn't the Conor of old who wins titles in cage fights. But like you said, if you put him in a fight with some dickhead he will more than likely flatten them out in a round. I personally made peace with him being that way after the Floyd fight, and I say good luck to the guy. He gave us some terrific events and times over the years, and now he's moved on to build a company for himself. He is an elite fighter second now, and first a media celebrity.
@Jacob Eberhardt Dustin is ranked 5th. U just said u can't give Connor just anybody or else it would end bad for them! As long as it ain't Cowboy Cerrone ANYBODY WILL BEAT CONNOR IN THE UFC NOW
@@JOHN-zl5kw dustin is ranked 2nd. the 1st ranked guy being the ex champ who was just stripped for missing weight so technically he's ranked 1st (below the champ) if you're going to shit on the guy at least get your facts correct man
Kav let conor ruin his reputation. Kav is a super cool dude and great mind for martial arts but being Conor's yes man has done terrible damage to his rep. I used to love listening to him talk and now I just tune out.
To summarise what your saying…‘it’s always easier looking from the outside in’ rather that the other way around. Hopefully Conor has realised this and picks a good matchup for his comeback as he’s only got a few big paydays left as since he’s been gone the field has improved. Not sure what his best option is these days as every division he’s competed at have all got a worthy champion and contender. He’s no longer the top dog but he still draws the biggest crowd and hype and that’s all that counts these days. I’ll be supporting him no matter what. Can’t wait for his next bout. 🇮🇪
To be fair Coach Kavanagh knows very well the stage of conor’s fighting career . After seeing him in Fights and his performance it pretty much shows how his training is going on and what level he trains at . Maybe he no longer trains as his starting phase so Coach is smart man and knows as long his name is with Conor he stays in spotlight and good for him
Chael let me be straight with you. 2 of my mates from my MMA gym fought on his shows in the UK, one in Manchester, he’s not the guy you think he is he’s very much about money and fame mate
“tHaTs A bIG dEaL fROm CoACh YadA yAdA” this is Conor promotion, at its finest. We’ve heard this before boss. He fights once every year and a half, and calls it a comeback.
Kavanagh also said "full recovery, full recovery!" to McGregor after round 1 vs Diaz 1..couple of minutes later mcnuggets was gassed and shot for a takedown and got choked out
I believe it. I hope he’s mentally ready for battle. He’s always had the skill. Seeing what’s happening with Till makes me worry about the Irishman. Seeing the Englishman deal with the pressures of hype
@@adamxo. Max will admit he lost to the better guy tho. Conor loses by ko then by tko with 2 x 10-8s n tells us he was boxing the bleeding head off him.
170lbs thought...if Nate almost ko'd Leon...imagine Conor's success. I mean Leon took forever with Cerone while Conor took moments. He should really consider going up on that premise. I mean your last post was on Nate was him not waiting on Conor so it would be wise for Conor to jump on Leon at some point the same way he should have (actually he did, but Dana said No) jumped on Masvidal. Fighting Leon may actually allow him to bypass Colby which would be ideal with Conor's cardio/confidence issues. I believe he has a better political argument at 170 than at 155 regardless of that one time he held a belt there. I do believe he really needs to turn over a new leaf to (in skills) if he wants to be champ in either division because height and reach will handicap him...unless he wants to drop way back down and fight Holloway, Emmett, or Rodriguez lol 🤷
@@drewjenn9819 I’d say Leon due to size, But Conor is still a legit threat. At 170 with his new bulk it is unknown, But his only loses have been an asterisk to porier in the third fight, and we count him out.
Yeah he was ahead of he's time, at a certain time but now he's probably just as good as the competition but in brutal sport like this may not be enough.
@@andresvelasco2767 I doubt it, there was a clear deficit in Conors game imo. He looked so 1 dimensional. I do mostly agree tho, poirier has improved, but so has everyone else, Conor took too much time off and the pack left him behind. It’s a tragedy that Conor wasn’t active during his prime.
Classic Sun Tzu: Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak. If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.
He’s clearly saying that connor needs to fight diaz at 170. The way he coughed after saying diaz acting like he misspoke, then telling a story about someone who had rest but the story was really about how people can lose to opponents they aren’t ready for like diaz mcgregor 1. He says so much without saying anything. Undefeated undisputed
If the timing aligned better, I still think a Diaz vs. Conor 3 would be a fun fight and would satisfy Nate desperately wanting to finish out his contract. But I have a feeling Conor won't be ready soon enough...
People need to get over this. Conor is somewhere in the top 10 but his time as a champ or contender is done. Despite if he gets another shot at a belt cause of his name or not.
Finally somebody with some common sense leaves a comment! He's a business suit guy now, when he appears for a fight it is an excercise in good marketing rather than an opportunity for fight glory. He doesn't need to win now. Really he doesn't even need to fight lol the guys rich and famous plus a double champ, and in the conversation for lightweight GOAT. I can understand why he focuses on his business, for a start it is NEW to him and therefore more exciting. And also, he's back in a small pond as a big fish again, nice and comfy.
@@DailyCorvid he's not even close to the conversation for lightweight GOAT. He's like 1W-3L at lightweight? He literally hasn't done anything noteworthy since he left featherweight except beat Eddie Alvarez back in 2016.
@@TheKareem87 That doesn't matter. The GOAT tag is a bit embarrassing if you ask me, it means not much since everybody chucks it about so often. Nevertheless if there is a GOAT conversation amongst these ex-pros and current fighters [which there is], and they put him there... and I think their opinion is worth more than yours here. If they think he's in that conversation then he is.
@@DailyCorvid No fighter, active or retired, has ever called Conor McGregor the lightweight GOAT. It's not a conversation. Hall of Famer? Sure. Extremely influential and significant to the history and growth of the sport? I'm with you. But Greatest of All Time in the lightweight division? Not even close, man. The numbers just don't add up.
@@TheKareem87 Well I suppose in your country the UFC has only existed for you in the last 4-5 years, so you don't know how the culture works. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation. But really, there is no need to sneer about it, not like it actually matters who is named after which piece of livestock.
I believe that he hasnt lost a beat, but everyone else is actively improving. Conor was the best for a time but the sport caught up to him. Even if we are going to see a return of prime Conor, I don't think that's enough to become the lightweight champion today.
His style is not the same as it used to be. He has a classic boxing stance now... not to mention he sucks. He got finishes by Nate and was just barely able to squeeze out a decision in their second fight... not to mention losing his last 2 fights with Poirier and he thinks he deserves to walk right into a title fight?! Conor and his fans are pathetic.
Isnt that the guy that has told us like 5 times “this is the best conor ive ever seen”
He was the best Conor we ever seen. But also, so was Dustin?
To be fair he did come out and say Dustin beat the best Conor. I think the blue print is just out there now
Unfortunately yes hahahaha I believed him the first 4 times. Fool me once shame on you
Twice shame on me
5 times I’m a damn idiot

Uncle chael love your reactions hope you have a wonderful day with your family take care and be safe 🙏❤️💯🙈🙉🙊
Vintage Sonnen! Unfiltered genius right here.
Man John been saying that since that fight after khabib Conor just needed to switch camps I think it would make a difference
I think Conor's camp is exactly how he wants it. His ego is massive.
Geez, thank goodness we're talking about Conor again. 😎🇮🇪
Chael said he was taking today off buy something told me we'd see uncle Chael today anyways hahaha. Fucking putting in hard work man. 💪🏾
He hasn't lost a step, but the competition is getting better all the time.
Kavanagh also said "full recovery, full recovery!" to McGregor after round 1 vs Diaz 1..couple of minutes later mcnuggets was gassed and shot for a takedown and got choked out
This is a really good video by chael in all honesty
He says this EVERY TIME!! Every freaking time.
He says that before every fight and the only successful fighter in his gym is Conor.
Translation: Conor has lost a beat.
I believe it. I hope he’s mentally ready for battle. He’s always had the skill. Seeing what’s happening with Till makes me worry about the Irishman. Seeing the Englishman deal with the pressures of hype
🤣🤣 he hasn't lost a beat but had back to back losses 🤷🏽♂️🤡🤣🤣
And hasn’t won a meaningful fight in almost 6 years.
@@astrobot3038 3-4 in his last 7
@@monstrousanimal5578 so is max
98% of fighters would have lost to Khabib and porier as well
@@adamxo. Max will admit he lost to the better guy tho. Conor loses by ko then by tko with 2 x 10-8s n tells us he was boxing the bleeding head off him.
Undefeated undisputed.
Easy to seem like you haven't lost a best when you are by far the best athlete at the gym.
Coach K is awesome also I think McGregor‘s next opponent will be Jorge probably sometime in January or February
For some reason, I wanna see Fiziev vs Conor, #7 vs #12
Kavanagh sure knows how to get Conor to sign those checks over.
170lbs thought...if Nate almost ko'd Leon...imagine Conor's success. I mean Leon took forever with Cerone while Conor took moments. He should really consider going up on that premise. I mean your last post was on Nate was him not waiting on Conor so it would be wise for Conor to jump on Leon at some point the same way he should have (actually he did, but Dana said No) jumped on Masvidal. Fighting Leon may actually allow him to bypass Colby which would be ideal with Conor's cardio/confidence issues. I believe he has a better political argument at 170 than at 155 regardless of that one time he held a belt there. I do believe he really needs to turn over a new leaf to (in skills) if he wants to be champ in either division because height and reach will handicap him...unless he wants to drop way back down and fight Holloway, Emmett, or Rodriguez lol 🤷
Leon an Conor fought two entirely different versions of Cerrone. You are a fool for making that comparison. Now who wins between Leon and Conor?
@@drewjenn9819 I’d say Leon due to size, But Conor is still a legit threat. At 170 with his new bulk it is unknown, But his only loses have been an asterisk to porier in the third fight, and we count him out.
@@SBAssociation What? His only loss is an asterisk to Porier?? What on earth are you talking about?
Coach Kavanaugh says Tito tapped.
Uncle Chael: “OK great.”
I think he comes back at 155 and beats the shit out of Chandler and KO's him standing
I thought u were taking a day off uncle chael?? That work ethic your pops taught u still paying off💪
Since Chaels off today I’m going to have to watch this video 8 times
Yeah he was ahead of he's time, at a certain time but now he's probably just as good as the competition but in brutal sport like this may not be enough.
They should book Dustin/Chandler, Conor/Gaethje, and Beniel/Fizez.
Uncle Cheal cover Dc, Blahowich, Usman asking for Juri, Israel in 185, Juri pls... 💪🏻
Chael is totally right! ( But we need to ignore all the fighters who did horrible due to ring rust... )
Kavanagh also said conor was the “best version of himself” before Poirier 2 AND 3
Conor might have been. But Poirier was Poirier 2.0 and Poirier 3.0
what do you want him to say? that he looks like shit? he probably did look amazing in the training room, and he did look great in the second fight
@@donttouchmysoda6178 He looked awful
@@andresvelasco2767 I doubt it, there was a clear deficit in Conors game imo. He looked so 1 dimensional. I do mostly agree tho, poirier has improved, but so has everyone else, Conor took too much time off and the pack left him behind. It’s a tragedy that Conor wasn’t active during his prime.
@@253MC "the greatest tragedy in life is wasted talent"
Kavanagh is the opposite of what chael said in the beginning lmao
*I WONDER HOW MUCH MONEY MCGREGOR PAID KAVANAGH TO CHAT UTTER NONSENSE*
He bought him a new jeep recently
Lol I just wanna see a McGregor/Covington press conference lmao
He always tells us Connor is on best shape lol
Classic Sun Tzu: Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak. If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.
Connor's coach is...something. YES man....through and through.
At this point connor’s career is like the milk jug in the fridge with less than 1/3rd left and it smells funny but you really want cereal.
such a fitting analogy lol
Idk how but it makes so so much sense, everybody wants cereal but it's difficult need to warm up the milk
He’s clearly saying that connor needs to fight diaz at 170. The way he coughed after saying diaz acting like he misspoke, then telling a story about someone who had rest but the story was really about how people can lose to opponents they aren’t ready for like diaz mcgregor 1. He says so much without saying anything. Undefeated undisputed
Uncle Chael making so many Conor videos says that he is still the biggest star in the game
“Coach kavanaugh gives it to you straight”
Coach kavanuagh: “Connor was winning the poirier v mcgregor 3 fight”
He was performing well. A lot better than part two honestly
Can we get a video on Matt Shnell and his awesome come back win ... and THE WILL TO WIN? ?
The people wanna hear it!
If the timing aligned better, I still think a Diaz vs. Conor 3 would be a fun fight and would satisfy Nate desperately wanting to finish out his contract. But I have a feeling Conor won't be ready soon enough...
That’s a bad fight for Conor win or lose it’s going to be hard for him to take a Nate out, Nate almost stopped him in the first two with strikes
People need to get over this. Conor is somewhere in the top 10 but his time as a champ or contender is done. Despite if he gets another shot at a belt cause of his name or not.
Finally somebody with some common sense leaves a comment! He's a business suit guy now, when he appears for a fight it is an excercise in good marketing rather than an opportunity for fight glory. He doesn't need to win now. Really he doesn't even need to fight lol the guys rich and famous plus a double champ, and in the conversation for lightweight GOAT.
I can understand why he focuses on his business, for a start it is NEW to him and therefore more exciting. And also, he's back in a small pond as a big fish again, nice and comfy.
@@DailyCorvid he's not even close to the conversation for lightweight GOAT. He's like 1W-3L at lightweight? He literally hasn't done anything noteworthy since he left featherweight except beat Eddie Alvarez back in 2016.
@@TheKareem87 That doesn't matter. The GOAT tag is a bit embarrassing if you ask me, it means not much since everybody chucks it about so often.
Nevertheless if there is a GOAT conversation amongst these ex-pros and current fighters [which there is], and they put him there... and I think their opinion is worth more than yours here.
If they think he's in that conversation then he is.
@@DailyCorvid No fighter, active or retired, has ever called Conor McGregor the lightweight GOAT. It's not a conversation. Hall of Famer? Sure. Extremely influential and significant to the history and growth of the sport? I'm with you. But Greatest of All Time in the lightweight division? Not even close, man. The numbers just don't add up.
@@TheKareem87 Well I suppose in your country the UFC has only existed for you in the last 4-5 years, so you don't know how the culture works.
Otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation. But really, there is no need to sneer about it, not like it actually matters who is named after which piece of livestock.
Chael not covering Islam v Charles breaking? Usually Chael is first on breaking news
hes been saying conor is back for about 5 years
I believe that he hasnt lost a beat, but everyone else is actively improving. Conor was the best for a time but the sport caught up to him. Even if we are going to see a return of prime Conor, I don't think that's enough to become the lightweight champion today.
Question: if Conor were to get a new coach (even at a training camp) who should it be? This ought to be a poll.
Good to see Conor back at the home gym. He should've never left. Shows he has some accountability especially after all the money he's made.
hasent missed a beat. Just a few years and a few bones lol
Conor looked good from the few videos he's put up. However, I'd still expect Kavanagh to say that even if Conor looked like an amputee in there.
He has always said that 😂
Chael is really loading up before his day off at the beach
Masvidal vs Conor would be so awesome to see.
John also said connie was doing really well till he broke his foot... he was getting smashed and breaking the 🍗 saved him from further punishment.
No he didn’t. Watch the fight again without your Poirier-glasses you fool.
Flow state... Man I can't wait for Connor, I'd watch every fight even if he lost everytime his style is just amazing
his ability above 145 isnt tho.
His style is not the same as it used to be. He has a classic boxing stance now... not to mention he sucks. He got finishes by Nate and was just barely able to squeeze out a decision in their second fight... not to mention losing his last 2 fights with Poirier and he thinks he deserves to walk right into a title fight?! Conor and his fans are pathetic.
LOL! Conor's coach is a huge hype man for Conor!
