Dustin had wobbly legs and lost. You can go cry in your beer now fools.
Conor gave him a little kiss at 9:19 - I thought that was a nice gesture.
Who's screaming ?
I swear that screaming woman in the background is at every UFC fight.
That lunatic, I mean Eddie's wife, is what lost him the fight. Jesus christ the fight hadn't even started and she was barking mad...
You see the low kicks and the effectiveness. Conor needs to bring those kicks back w the karate stance. Fluid movement. Nimble.
Boxing ruined McGregor. This is a totally different fighter
This is the real conor aggressive and smart not like now
Joe "He's hurt" Rogan
Good old days....
Does he look bigger here than against dustin or did dustin look like a welterweight?
@Artizon i think he looks bigger here vs alvarez than he did vs dustin but its hard to tell cuz eddie is smaller tbh
@n n people are saying that but i thought he was a good size, bigger than he was against alveraz and khabib
@Artizon mhh i guess since theyre the same height, still conor looked really lean last saturday
Dustin is just thick, I think there is more muscle on Conor.
11:40 someone explain to me what happened here ?? he went to ask Dana White for a raise and Dana told him: is that not enough what I pay you?
I miss the old Conor😔
Who TF is squawking throughout the fight.
FUCKING MCGREGGER IS A BEAST AT 146LBS UNBELIEVABLE!!! CAN ANYONE BEAT THIS GUY???????
This is 155
That was amazing, i wonder how conors career wouldve been if he didnt go to fight mayweather and instead stayed active defending his belts?
this was undoubtedly Connors best fight ever the best condition he'd ever been in if he fought poirer in this condition if he fought a lot of people in this condition man the damage he woulda done.
Conor wasted his prime years fighting Mayweather and chasing money and not defending his belts.
prime conor

Conor must decide if he wants to be a boxer OR a mixed martial artist. He completely lost his old karate/capoeira style with wide stance. Now, he just fought the way Floyd fought him in those later rounds in 2017. This would be more of a mexican boxing approach. However, this does NOT fit his usual fighting style. His coaches are to be blamed for it - especially Phil Sutcliffe's (although I really like him) influence on Conor this time around made a huge impact on the (bad) result. Additionally, I think that Conor STILL might have some cardio issues which made him even more vulnerable in the 2nd round against Dustin. That's MY take on this whole Conor situation.
I think he should hire that touch butt guy again. His movement and footwork were really good when he was training with him
Who here after Conor lose to Dustin
This Conor would destroy current Conor... His style has totally changed.
Where is this fight that Conor was meant to have lost with Dustin? I’ve saw the one two weeks ago but Conor won and I’ve seen this one where Conor wins again... but a few times I’ve heard that Conor has been beaten recently... baffled
A unhumbled something to prove connor is/was levels above
Conner's back ,im so good I love watching him taunts all the guys hefights dislike but Ive watched him from the begining. I absolutely loved how he taunted Jose Aldo even when they were in seperate planes ,he managed to have his radio into Aldos plane and talk shit to him hah He is so cocky but stands behind everything he says he will do. The champ is back. !!!!
This is the Conor that needs to come back for Poirier vs McGregor 3.
Everyone tell Conor to get his karate stance back. He also needs to get ido portal and artem lobov in his team. His boxing trainer needs to go, boxing is making him worse.
I have watched this so many times
Eddie: Takes a breathe His Wife: *SCREAMS FROM HELL*
Igazi profi Conor! Egy hiba az ellenféltől és büntet..Zseni!👑
the mayweather fight ruined him
the whiskey destroyed conor
Connor was spending too much time drinking proper 12, not going to the gym not taking this seriously, he should have won this fight but those are the reasons why he lost it.
I mean his own head coach said after the fight that he was the most focused and trained the most for the fight, no excuses Dustin was the better fighter that night.
He was hungry
Please come in
Wait, is it alvarez wife yelling for 10mn EDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE"?
This is the conor we love. Please go back to this style! Against porier you just looked like a boxer. Just become a mma fighter again. We all want to see this conor again.
For people coming back after Conor's loss, I just wanna share something that I saw someone else say. That people aren't giving Dustin the credit he deserves and just blaming Conor's loss on not being as good anymore. Conor has still got it, but Dustin just had a better gameplan and executed it well.
He didnt even saw alvarez atack and wasnt prepared for it and still was able to master counter him in the first round .yesteday his reflexes were 10 times slower
That combination that finished Eddie hooks was so much like Roy Jones
Conor you need to hire Ido Portal again and play touch butt to get your movement and timing back.
Conor go back to your Karate style on the balls of your feet! Stop being dependent in your boxing stance. Conor use your steep kick again! You looked flat footed against Dustin! Ring rust is real Idc what Dominic Cruz says!!
I wouldn’t be upset if Eddies wife lost her voice permanently
Damn Conor was so cocky here. Being married with kids made him soft.
Because his footwork is more mobile and he's far more active, the leg kicks aren't as effective here. Eddie stops dishing them out as Conor's footwork has made Eddies foot make contact with the knee. Whereas against Dustin, Conor was just flat footed and eating every shot without any attempt to evade or check
Conor looks a lot quicker here . Compared to the Dustin fight , he was much slower . Still his striking was on point but he didn’t even throw any front kicks . His hands are also not loose like they were here. There were tight , mcgregor will be back , just needs some time
Man it’s crazy what years can do to someone. I love connor and all but he just isn’t that agile anymore
Bring your karate stance backkk !!!!
Best fighter version of Conor
Iyeth pertandingan anyar lain lur
Imagine if Eddie keep kick conor's leg
His stance here is different. Wouldn’t have damaged the leg as bad as it was against Dustin.
Lol yeah kinda like dustin
コナーマクレガー最高！
MC jeggor is idiot
You can’t tell me this guy is the same guy that just got KO’d by Dustin. This elusiveness, kicking game, counter punching, mobility was left somewhere in the past. This version of Conor would KO 2021 Conor inside a minute.
If Eddie continued with those calf kicks who knows how this would’ve went
@daniel daniel Conor vs Tony is the next fight to make for me- April/May times?
@S K I agree with you man. I’ve been watching this kid since 2013 when he joined the UFC, never followed him strictly but watched all of his fights, and the last one was a bit sad to see honestly. It’s like his movement and fluidity isn’t there anymore, he’s almost “stuck in the mud” as he once claimed other fighters were. Wish he kept Ido Portal on his team and kept his previous stance. Traditional boxing and chasing the knockout was never his thing. I just don’t get it. Wish him well in the future
@daniel daniel I do agree- was just something I thought about after the fight on Saturday. I think this fight against Eddie was the whole package Conor, had goals, hunger, mindset and skill. The boxing coaching I believe limited him like crazy. His confidence will need to be built up from here but that won’t be easy at all with the current LW contenders.
Conor was in and out very fast the whole fight, karate stance... it was very hard for Eddie to commit. This time it Conor was standing in boxing stance and it was so odd to watch, he did a horrible job sadly.
Conor remembered khabib when Dustin was on him.
Conor was beast before that Dagestani bear destroyed him!
I really feel like conor reuniting with his old boxing coach is the worst thing that could’ve happened to his career. Ever since he’s looked like he relies more on power then precision and more on speed then timing. His stance is now more of a boxing stance and the tools that made him so great (using his feints and his right hand to find reach) played into his older more karate based stance. His ability to find range and move in and out of it just seems like it’s not there anymore. But maybe I’m crazy. I really think it’s his old boxing coach.
@Джон Таргариен nope his stance is changed to more of Traditional boxing stance
@Джон Таргариен what are u even talking about at this point my guy💀
@M W Conor didn't regress and didn't progress - so he was the same. Dustin progressed in everything so he was much better. You can only argue that "old Conor" is the one who progresses
@Джон Таргариен if you think conor was “as usual” then you don’t know what you’re seeing. Now I’m not saying conor with his other stance would have beaten Dustin, I’m not even saying it’s better. But it’s absolutely different. For dozens of reasons.
Conor was as usual. It's just that Dustin was the first to beat off Conor's front leg, which Conor always leaned on too much. It should have been done for a long time ago, even Eddie had chances to do it, but he was too scared and gave up after few try 0:44 0:58

@Джон Таргариен changed his stance to much wich made him react slower. He got hit easier with this. Stop copying that shit comment cause you’re talking bs
@Sjon Luchtballon Conor didn't regress and didn't progress - so he was the same. Dustin progressed in everything so he was much better. You can only argue that "old Conor" is the one who progresses
@Sjon Luchtballon idiot, Conor was the same
I you think Conor was as usual your delusional
His fighting style here is so diff 🤷♂️🤷♂️ what happened ? He’s a killer here, some boxing coach as fucked his style and stance
@Джон Таргариен yeah you are right
@Carl T Conor didn't regress and didn't progress - so he was the same. Dustin progressed in everything so he was much better. You can only argue that "old Conor" is the one who progresses
@Джон Таргариен nahh your wrong i think you need glasses

need this haircut and stance back
Alvarez getting loose, getting better Smack, smack smack SMACK Until that.
This is completely different Conor than vs Dustin. He needs to go back to that stance and stick to his counter punching and kicks. In the Dustin fight it looked like he was in a boxing match, hands up, and flat footed. Looks how fast his reflexes were here as well! He's always flinching like Mayweather to move away from shots!
This Conor looked unstoppable... literally god mode
Alvarez sucks, nobody said that. Dos Anjos would have been the real test
@Marwan Ezz I know but Alvarez is the weakest ufc lightwight champion ever and McGregor was so lucky to fight him for the belt
Alvarez > Dos Anjos. Literally alvarez defeated him and Alvarez is the real test
Alvarez beat Dos Anjos lmao
bring back the karate stance
Wait until we see this Conor again 🔥
One the greatest performances by a contender in a championship fight that I've ever seen.
Bruh, if Conor realizes you pose no threat he will absolutely destroy you. Dustin posed the threat of takedown and calve kicks. They finally figured out Conor. Conor must reinvent his style in order to compete with the top dogs
Whataa F Face
No matter king 👑👑Conor McGregor lose or win he remain my idol.
This stance that Conor had made him special
WATCH AND WEEP CONOR MCGREGOR FANS!!!!!........ I M CRYING TOO...... 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Conor ''like Sonny Liston" was a beast until he met Khabib "like ALI"... Then he never was the same again.
One would think Rogan thirsty.
This Mcgregor would have beaten Porier..light on his feet and more clinical with the strikes..the plodding popeye style was weird...only works at 170 where hes way bigger.
@Джон Таргариен stop copying this shit
Conor was as usual. It's just that Dustin was the first to beat off Conor's front leg, which Conor always leaned on too much. It should have been done for a long time ago, even Eddie had chances to do it, but he was too scared and gave up after few try 0:44 0:58
Conor is born to fight and to entertain
Bro who kept screaming EDDDIEEEE
whose here to clean their eyes after watching mcgregor vs poirier
Eddie wife is banshee
Look at the difference in Conors fighting style from this fight to Dustins. I don’t get this new come forward in a boxing stance style from McGregor he’s using now
Who is screaming --"
Eddies wife
Alvarez looked weak AF here.
We all wanted to see this Connor against Dustin 2. We got a washed out, stiff and mediocre version unfortunately. Sad to see the decline in skill....he was probs way over confident and not hungry.
@Wonderweiss Margela If Dustin calf kicks him which is something you never see Conor really deal with through his career, This Conor would literally turn into the Conor you just saw less than 24 hours ago.
@Kamryn Stone Dustin is never beating this Conor here it would end the same as the first. Dustin is a good fighter but this Boxing Transition has slowly ruined McGregor.
Wdym lmao he outboxed Dustin in round 1. Got his leg destroyed and was forced in the pocket and got outboxed. Literally the stiffness and mediocrity was the effects of Dustin obliterating his legs. Give Dustin his damn credit.
I had to come back to the old conors fights after his loss against Dustin to help me get through. I have never wanted to cry so much over one of his loses. However, I love the person Conor is today compared to the person everyone wanted him to be just for entertainment. Well done to Dustin, he deserved that win!
k but how did you remain a fan during the khabib saga and the old man bar fight? like what are you seeing in mcgregor?
Conor needs to come back to this form. He needs bring back the light quick feet and patient intuitive striking.
bring back ido portal and artem lobov. Light on his feet, light a butterfly and a bee.
This was Conor at his peak
Conor needs to start using some head movement again.
Back before McGregor grew lazy. Back when he trained and didn’t take more than half a year off. Hopefully we’ll see this McGregor again.
Rawrrrrrrrrrr
I wish Conor never fought Mayweather. After he made all that money he took that break, came back to fight Khabib and was clearly rusty. And hasn't really been active or his true self since.
Michael Rivera completely agree. Look at the fight vs Jose. He is so spry and always on his toes. He just looked a little slow vs Dustin. Although his jabs were doing good I think he let his guard down a little too much and Dustin caught him. Those leg kicks by Dustin would not have been as effective had conor been more mobile
This is completely different Conor than vs Dustin. He needs to go back to that stance and stick to his counter punching and kicks. In the Dustin fight it looked like he was in a boxing match, hands up, and flat footed. Looks how fast his reflexes were here as well! He's always flinching like Mayweather to move away from shots!
@Flash Doggo he wasted his damm prime 😭
True, it's so sad. We've been robbed of the potential GOAT
That's the Conor we love and Khabib should face in another fuckn fight
Who else is here trying to figure out why conor used a different fighting style & getting tko'd by dustin
@x Kobraklutch He was looking elusive af in the beginning. He won the first on most people's cards.
Not similar enough for him to be more loose & elusive, bounce in & out of range continously like you see here, instead he thought he could keep walking dustin down because of the belief in his hands & not respect dustins combos in the pocket. Of course the leg kicks didn't help either. Maybe he would still get fucked up by leg kicks if he used his karate style since its a wide stance
He didn't use a different style. He looks very similar here. The thing is that Eddie is orthodox while conor is southpaw. Eddie can't get calf kicks easily vs Conor, but Dustin can because he's a southpaw.
Alguien buscando un comentario en español? O solo yo xd
Eddie's wife's screaming is probably what distracted him. Smdh
3:08 ayo
the style conor had last night was nothing like this at all it was so weird to watch.
get Ido portal and Artem Lobov back in his camp.
@Abdul his boxing coach is a dinosaur
True its after he brought his boxing coach in instead of his movement coach Conor shouldn’t have a boxing style in mma Edit: just found out conor’s movement coach coudn’t make it to his training camp.
I think it’s time for Jake Paul......
GOOD ZLATKO
