That pass to mount was so smooth. Conor at 145 was unbeatable. He was in the best shape of his life and had cardio for days. The moment he went up to 155 and 170 he became very flat footed and much slower.

@luk303 3 жыл бұрын
What do you mean by cardio for days? Conor didn’t fought over 3 rounds in FW, and the one instance he did fight 3 rounds, he spent most of the time of the third and last two minutes of the second round on the ground bc he tore is acl (against Holloway). He most probably had cardio issues at FW too, but it never came to show. I remember against Chad Mendes he looked super gassed at the end of the second round when he got up; Mendes was even more gassed so he could put him away to become interim FW champ.
@Junkeiz 3 жыл бұрын
Against Mendes he had the same reoccuring knee injury as well. Not going to move as well. But his fight with Max Holloway proved he did have pretty good cardio. It takes a lot of effort to secure a takedown and he seemed to be doing it flawlessly even with his injury. Max wasn't the fighter he is now but still impressive. He was damn clutch at featherweight.
@luk303 3 жыл бұрын
@@Junkeiz Oh no, do not get me wrong. Conor was super clutch at featherweight. I just disagree with your assessment that the Holloway fight was enough to prove that he had cardio back then. I don't believe that to be the case. It's simple biology really, he has a lot of type 1 muscle fiber (fast twitching) thus needs a lot of oxygen, and with that his style of fighting (pressing counter shots) takes a lot of stamina. Every movement he does is explosive and fast; Dominic Cruz said the same thing that Conors style of fighting is simply not made for five rounds. And also, do you believe after his fw career he didn't train as hard as before or how do you explain his cardio issues?
@Junkeiz 3 жыл бұрын
After his knockout of Jose Aldo he jumped to Welterweight from featherweight to fight Nate. He was "full belly" Conor lol. He never returned to featherweight after that. His fights with Nate were iconic but he certainly didn't move as well as he did at featherweight and gassed in Rnd 2. Round 2! He went 3 rounds with Max Holloway like it was nothing and then can't even make it through Rnd 2 without slowing down and becoming exhausted?! Too big of a jump too fast at that weight.

The moment Conor abandoned his wide karate stance, his smooth operation ended. He became stiff and he boxed himself into a traditional stance instead of letting himself breath and just move freely and comfortably like he did in his prime. He moved like liquid and showed everyone that he was comfortable, calm and collected. He picks apart his opponents in this state. Whereas nowadays he just executes for that shot that he needs and he doesn't get it often either.
@DF59821 2 жыл бұрын
I agree with your points, but I think what also needs to be considered is that calf kicks were becoming increasingly popular after Conor disappeared from UFC for a few years. That wide stance gets picked apart by kicks now. Maybe that was a tactical change he made to mitigate kicks.
@PedroAugusthus 2 жыл бұрын
Wide karate stance is beauty, but it works more against shorter opponents. McGregor dont learned to fight in close distance, that makes so hard to fight against taller (Reach) oponentens.

Hungry Mcgregor was an animal. I truly believe he will never be this Conor again. He did everything. First 2 division champ in history, 13 second KO against #2 or 3 P4P fighter at the time, Top earning athlete in 2020. Its done. Its hard to be motivated when you are that rich and have achieved that much. You have to have pure passion for the sport and I think conor lost it in a way. Look at canelo. That man makes over 30 mil a fight and hes still hungrier more then ever. Canelo even said he makes over 1 mil a month from his investments and he just fights out of the pure love of boxing. I dont think Conor truly loves fighting anymore.
