I understand what you’re saying but, explain him sucker punching old minute bars, explain him attacking peoples religion, culture, attacking peoples families what is that to do anything with MMA or with money. It seems more like he has enough money that he can be who he really wants to be without necessarily facing any repercussions. Not sure if you know this but, the old man that he sucker punched at the bar, after he settled with the old man and the old man did not press charges, Connor bought that bar and then banned that old man from ever coming back. That is just a lowlife piece of shit thing to do.

McGregor made Aldo too angry to think strategically which ultimately ended up in his victory. He used the same strategy against Khabib but it instead backfired completely in his face to the point where Khabib was just a few seconds away from completing his promise of permanently changing Conner’s face by almost breaking his jaw and after the fight a big brawl starting. Would’ve been interesting to see if Connor fought Aldo and Khabib without angering the respective champions so he can strip their belt. Mental warfare is also a part of the game, but man did they have two big different outcomes.

Thing is by the time he got to Khabib he had lost to Diaz and Mayweather and I believe he had acted cordial towards Alvarez after beating him. Going against Aldo it was one of those where that aura of being a legit savage was in its prime but that gradually wore off. In boxing, fighters like Roberto Duran had a similar situation where he insulted Hall of Famed Sugar Ray Leonard and beat him in the ring only to be embarrassed and made to quit on his stool in the rematch.

One of the biggest "what if" in UFC. And a pretty unfair situation regarding the usual standards of the organization, because even in those days dominant champions got the immediate rematch, but not Aldo. And the reason is it was the worst choice for the UFC in terms of cost/benefit, risking having Conor lose to Aldo was too much, the hype train would have suffered a lot of damage, and that would translate to lesser money for the UFC out of milking Conor's popularity.

I don't think money "ended" him, because we don't know as fans if he just reprioritized.

It's not just money, it's family. That's pretty clear in his documentary. He has a beautiful family now and nothing, not even fighting, is more important to him than them.

Money magnifies who we truly are.

I believe the great Marvelous Marvin Haggler said it best when he said, "it's hard to wake up at 5 am to do road work when you are sleeping on silk sheets. Connor just proved what the Marvelous one already knew, once you lose that hunger, you are finished.

I'm not sure it was money as much as ego/fame. He already had more money than a reasonable person could spend when he fought Mayweather. However with Mayweather he had one of the biggest PPV of all time, he was a 2 division champion etc. etc. I think he just started believing in his own superiority and to a certain degree his persona started to meld with his personality. He stopped listening to anyone else because "I'm the best ever, why would I listen to anyone else" and he just became crazier and crazier.

@henrylam92

He did what no one else has ever done before (win two belts in dif weight classes, fight one of the greatest boxers) His persona/act that sold the fights became him IRL eventually because that’s what people wanted to see. When you act too long and the world revolves around you, you kind of lose yourself along the way.

Weirdly enough this reminds me of GSP explaining or rationalizing to himself why not to fight in the ring anymore. Conner probably really had the passion in fighting but no longer a "win or die" mentality due to what he already achieved.

Totally agree with this assessment. Connor will never be same. When you have a mountain of money. What's the motivation to be great? Some can handle that kind of success others can not.

The way you plugged your sponsor was one of th e best I've seen

Financially, it was a good idea to fight Floyd, but I think this was also a mistake too since the rest of the division evolved, but Conor never really adapted. Like the guy in the pink suit said "You have won only 1 fight since Barack Obama was president"

The way he beamed through the FW division was nothing short of spectacular, he could have held down that title and defended it 2-3 times if he really wanted to, but he chased the bag 💰

I also noticed early on Conor's trash talk was hilarious and funny. He did not cross the line until later on with his trash talk

I’ve rewatched the fights with Dustin multiple times and really think he gets overlooked cuz he lost. He was right there with Dustin in both fights until getting clipped. He definitely isn’t top 5 lightweight right now but he sure as hell deserves more credit than he’s given imo. His stance and style have changed for the worse, but he only puts out bangers of fights (minus mayweather) in all his losses.

Like many have said, Conor achieved all his goals that he set. He's got a family, so maybe he just wants to see his kids grow up and spend time with them. The UFC schedule can be very brutal with all the interviews and media obligations.

Something I hate to talk about, because I’m still learning focus, is what everyone says about doing one thing. There’s truth in focusing on a single objective, but like you said, he fought, he won, he lost, and he did what he set out to do. I think that calls for a reevaluation, and new wood to be burned for the sake of a new fire. Having worked out in gyms, you don’t get to UFC if you don’t love fighting, so I don’t want to say the love is gone. But it’d be interesting to hear what pushes him now, or if breaking his leg still haunts him

connors success was ultimately his downfall. all his recent antics have left me disappointed in him as a person and role model. but his run was nothing short of spectacular and i will always remember him as that fighter. came from such a relatable walk of life making his rise that much more inspiring.

Another viewpoint: It was bound to happen regardless of his success. He was amazing at featherweight with his karate stance, longer reach and shorter opponents. But lightweight in the UFC is the most stacked out all weight divisions. There's no way he would of beaten them all and much less defended the belt. Money just became a way for him to still brag when he loses.

Thank you for this

Get in, get paid, get out. Charge it to the game.

You forgot a couple words it was Floyd money Mayweather that ended hungry McGregor. Floyd embarrassed Connor and Connor never got over it

​@Mr EXPOSE Don't kid yourself floyd carried Conor for 10 rounds. Floyd felt conor power and realized he wasn't a threat lmao. Notice Floyd didn't even bother to use his signature stance the Philly shell, and instead chose to stand with his shoulders squared and walked him down. When does Floyd ever walk an opponent down? Floyd did not respect conor power lmao

Conor was once the fearsome beast back in 2014-2015-2016 era. since Mayweather fight in 2017, which made him a billionaire, all his hunger and motivation is gone. besides, after that fight, he only fought 4 times in like 7 years. and he is 1-3. so from that point I dont really see him making a come back. I hope Id be wrong tough cause I really like him, one of the pioneers of the sport in the modern era

He's not a billionaire

I think the fact that Connor is coming back to the cage despite he doesn't need to anymore proves that it isn't about money or popularity anymore, because he already has both, so it MUST be the hunger, he MUST be itching for a fight if he's taking the risks that come along with coming back. At least that's my opinion.

He have money yes but he also need high amount of money for his lifestyle He don’t fight because of the hunger but more to keep himself in the media and make money

Well you're both right and wrong.. Right because he really wants to fight from time to time And wrong because if he had that hunger he wouldn't let himself slip off that many years out of his prime.. He would have fought atleast 1 max 2 times every year..

*Solid video! Well done!*

Tj is such a casual, he gets all excited over Conor 😂😂

His division caught up to him stylistically. No version of Connor could ever beat Khabib. If he could still make featherweight then that would be interesting.

For the goods and bass, he strikes me as the kinda guy to reinvest a lot into his home town/country

I agree. When the Wolfe has all wants, what’s the point to keep fighting. I’ve been saying what you said for years now.

Conor showed glimpses in a fight where he was getting outclassed early against a guy who gets better as the fight goes on. The leg break wasn’t the only story in the fight

Dont say sorry for calling all these moments "iconic", Conor back then really was an "iconic moment making machine"

Hey dude, love your vids. just a minor note - Dan Henderson is the first MMA fighter to have 2 division champ belts simultaneously. Conor is the first guy to have 2 belts while being active in both divisions. only reason Dan can't say that is cause Pride Fighting closed up shop after he won the 2nd belt.

he achieved everything he wanted, made all the money he ever wanted , what more does he have to prove but to simply enjoy the life ahead of him with his young health and wealth. He become an icon in the sport setting tremendous records and invested his money so smart he doesnt need to be knocked in the head anymore for money. i see this as an absolute win

Obviously Conor’s best performances were at 145

Looking back, it's surprising he even carried on fighting after the Mayweather fight. Guy made a $100 million, and could've lived a easy life of luxury, but instead continued to risk his health going in the octagon. No wonder he wasn't the same
