Best UFC main card ever, Robbie and Rory stole the show.

McGregor answered a big question, and people still can't accept it. The UFC doesn't fix fights, and a fighter like Mendes wouldn't take a dive. Team Alpha Male would love to hold two belts. Conor hit him square, dropped him, and then kept the pressure on with punches. Herb could have let it go a second longer, but it didn't look like Chad was moving to stand up. We would have just seen Chad taking a few more punches. The reason he wasn't upset is because he knew he was hurt, and he is a nice, reasonable guy. He knows Herb didn't rob him.

IRISH & PROUD!!!!!

yall say with a full camp mendes would hold him down for five rounds... well maybe with a full camp training for a wrestler mcgregor would stuff more takedowns and attack off his back more

Connor McGregor enters at 47:00

I love McGregor AND Mendez, But everyone should be talking about Robbie vs Rory, that fight was one of the best fights in UFC history, if not MMA history. Top 10 easily. That was true fighting, the absolute pinnacle. You won't see a fight like that again for a long time i don't think.

Mendes did well considering he had 2 weeks training compared to Conor's 4 months, Its clear now Aldo will beat Conor.

100 people died making this show and it was worth it!

Conor was so emotional, anyone could see that his adrenaline was through the roof and I believe this caused him not to preform to his best. I think his next fight he will be more calm and collective; he will preform at a different level. With regards to the stoppage, it was just right. The dispute is only because it was close to the bell, had it been half way through the round, there would be no dispute. Plus as a ref Herb in this case they should not take into consideration how many seconds is left for the end of the round otherwise he would be bias.

Amazing watching this 6 years later. Almadia goes from “this kids amazing” to “he’s lost too many and he’s cut”. Also, Matt Brown is a savage.

>He's a nobody, they said >He's never fought a top 10 guy, they said >He's "all talk", they said >He's never fought a top 5 guy. they said >He's just another Chael Sonnen, they said >He has no ground game, they said >He's never fought a wrestler, they said >Poirier will beat him, they said >Aldo will kill him, they said >Aldo's not afraid to fight, they said >Mendes will submit him, they said >He'll never be the champ, they said I wonder, what are they saying now?

That 2 week training camp is just a excuse. These fighters stay ready all year, I even heard Chad say that himself. You made a mastake Chad and you paid for it. Aldo still the Feather Weight King until he loses. Still good job Conor.

UFC 189 has been so entertaining. All fights were fantastic.

All this shittalk here, anyone listened to Conor? He was humble as fuck for his doing, absolute legend.

All hail King McGreGOAT!!! Our featherweight champion!!

What Mendes said about McGregor reminded me of what Ali did to Foreman. Foreman threw vicious punches at Ali and Ali said "Is that all you got sucker?". Say what you want but i have the feeling this guy is the irish Ali!

Mendes took McGregor down at will and kept him there. With a full camp he could ragdolled him for 5 rounds. Poor takedown defense and not an ounce of ground game.

Dana apparently said that Jose sent in x-rays of his OLD injury. If that's true, SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! (ding ding ding)

Chad Mendes was dominating those both rounds though, even cut conors eye

I WANT TO SEE MCGREGOR VS EDGAR

one of the best ufc events I've ever seen. To pick fight of the night is so difficult. So much respect for chad mendes now, he bossed that fight i thought, and even more respect to mcgregor for walking the walk!

What now McGregor haters? What now?

Conner has shown how important it is to be able to speak in a way that intrigues the viewer. The fact that Conner not only is a great fighter but when he speaks you can't take your eyes off of him should be a lesson to all the ufc competitors. When you talk think of the professional wrestlers like The Rock or Hulk Hogen. Speak in a way that grabs the viewer and makes them excited to hear what comes out of your mouth next.

Connor looked unaffected by everything Chad threw. His face shows it. Chad looks like GSP after Johnny Hendrick fight.

"He was searching for his gas tank, &I was stabbing him in the gas tank" LMFAOOO!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂idk that sounded hella funny to me

My Dad thought the Robbie-Rory fight was terrible -.- only the first 8 minutes were boring. It was good until the end of the third round then it became great. Just pure who wanted it more. That was an amazing fight. My dad confuses me ugghh

One of the best post pressers

Gunnar Nelson is so insanely charismatic and he doesn't know hahaha

The fight between Rory and Robbie was definitely the one that I will remember. Besides round 1, it was an absolute war and showcased the talent of both fighters. Even though I really wanted Rory to win, Lawler proved that he is a true champion and that fight absolutely deserved fight of the night. I do think that Rory would have won a decision though.

Those elbows weren't glancing blows, Conor. He was hammering you like a nail. The guy's got a great chin, but I don't see him taking those shots like that at 155. Mendes is smaller than him, bottom line. He's not eating those elbows like that when they're coming from Donald Cerrone.

Conor proved himself. He did not come out as fresh as he usually does, he just look mentally and emotionally drained from all the media/ weight cut and still pulled it off. Beating Mendes is a big deal, and it makes the Aldo fight even better. The wrestler question is out, and now it's who is the best striker. Conor worked hard and it paid off, he deserves much respect and time to enjoy his success. As a UFC fan you couldn't be happier about the PPV. As a Canadian, Rory you made us all proud with your endurance, your a champ in our eyes, and as a friend of the Irish, Congrats to your champ!

Thumb up for Notorious :-)

I came into this whole event knowing basically nothing & i was blown aways by practically EVERY fight. Macdonald vs Lawler was a fight for the history books in my opinion & McGregor deserved that win. Anyone who has to make an excuse is textbook "sore loser" material

I give him that, he is tough, I didn't think he have a chance against Mendes but I think that's it for him, Frankie and Aldo are on a whole different level.

ufc main event live music was great, kudos keep it up

I was impressed by Conor's performance but at the same time I'm not sure what happened with Chad. He seemed gassed from the middle of the first round?

CM kept his word & iron fist. Hard part is keeping the title. I believe he can do it & three things he needs to work on.. 1- Ground Game 2- Keep your guard up (Anderson Silva) 3- LightWeight in future, continue to be hungry.. A lot of talent in that division.. Congrats on title ( not interim) but being the FW champion of the world!

nate diaz.

McGregor is a beast well done sir proving the haters that you're one of the best Well done to Mendes for taking the fight and shaking McGregors hand after the fight

Respect to conor, but please don't be fanboys, chad mendes was destroying him till got tired and tried that submission from which mcgregor escaped

YAY what a great card! I watched Robbie and Rory live but the stream was bad so I only just watched the rest and it was great fight after great fight

LMAO at dana's face when he said evryone won 50 grand

Firstly I'll start by saying I was in full support of Conor McGregor before and even during the fight. Conor showed very good striking ability like always. Mendes proved to be winning this fight especially when Conor was taken down. Mendes threw some hard elbows and at one point you could actually see Conor asking Herb Dean to possibly keep the fight standing. Mendes was so tired by the second round and he decided to try and finish the fight with a submission and that didn't work out. The question of whether or not Conor can handle a high calibre wrestler was answered, to a small extent he can but overall not really. In my opinion this fight was NOT fixed, Mendes gassed most likely because he didn't have a proper training camp. I have a lot of respect for Mendes for taking this fight on only 2 weeks notice. I have a lot of respect for Conor for having the ability to take a punch and having the 'never give up' type of heart.

Told everyone McGregor was going to give him a Boxing 101 Lesson but nobody believed me and I'm not even Irish.

Why the hell doesn't this video start at 7:36???

where are the true warriors? Lawler and Rory?

Where can I watch UFC fights on-line? Without paying.

fuck the reebok deal, Rory went through the war of all wars and got $30k. for the Stephens vs Bermudez fight, Bermudez got $5k. Absolutely ridiculous.

I apologize for doubting mcgregor. I was one of the leading critics of mcgregor on every video UFC posted, I was hating on him. But I realized man the sport needs this. Almost half a million people were tweeting about the fight an hour after it was over. Fuckk this guy is so exciting to watch. I respect Mendes for taking this fight in short notice and imposing his wrestling but it was clear he gassed out because of not having a full camp. I've never seen Mendes get gassed in the 2nd round. However, he was also hurt bad going into the second by those body kicks. They look flashy but they have power behind them. Conor also hits like a fuckinggg truck. That left hand he throws seems to down almost every opponent. He reminded me of Anderson silva and it was glorious. But his MAJOR weaknesses were exposed: WRESTLERS. I mean Mendes was taking him down any time he wanted and doing damage with elbows. Anderson silva was the same way, he struggled against wrestlers, but he was a black belt on the ground and had a weapon against wrestling. Conor has ZERO, and that worries me that he will get mauled by Frankie Edgar who never gets tired and has the heart to keep dragging Conor to the ground. Another thing I noticed he gets hit by major shots. Anderson silva rarely got hit. Conor ate a few over right hands in the fight. Going against Aldo that worries me. I can't wait for Aldo vs mcgregor. He proved a lot but also showed he had a lot of weaknesses. But I am now rooting for him to succeed because the amount of excitement and buzz he brings is something I've never seen before. He came to the fight in a police barricade for Gods sake lmaoo

OH Fucking great, this guy is now going to be EVERYWHERE. It would be cool with me if he didn't have fans that ruin the UFC and sport, and he could be a humble guy like Wiedman but no, he will be fucking everywhere so annoying.

I respect this guy so much as a business man. He is a great fighter as well, but he's a MUCH better businesses man, and that's no insult by any means.

aldo champion of the people will not sell

Away from the fight itself which was great, Conor really speaks like a champion, i like the way he handles himself and answered the questions. Was great to see him paying his respects after the fight also. True sportsman.

Conor McGregor is for real. Conor McGregor is king.

1st fight: McGregor vs Brimage. "Conor is not UFC caliber" 2nd fight: McGregor vs Holloway. "It's real test for McGregor" 3rd fight: McGregor vs Brandao. "Brandao has 1 punch KO power" 4th fight: McGregot vs Poirier. "Poirier can drag Conor to deep waters" 5th fight: McGregor vs Siver. "He never faced UFC veteran" 6th fight: McGregor vs Mendes. "He never faced wrestler with KO power"

Conor arrived, and Mendes left. Butthurt much?

mcgregor has proved himself but mendes really did need a full camp,mendes looked gassed in round 1 compared to his war with jose aldo for 5 rounds and the pace they fought at just goes to show how important it really is.

Anyone saying it was fixed are delusional you do realize when somebody is gassed out they are easier to put on their ass right ? have anyone of you lot had a fight before ? chad was gassed and it was a sweet left on the button chad tried to recover he had heart to try but Conor then was standing over him landing blows to the back of the ear he was 100% done KING CONOR Jose WILL fall that's if he dont retire ow his little plan didn't work MENDES fought well respect to him the fight went like I thought it would mendes dominated the ground BUT conor answered the question took minimal damage when on the mat and did maximum damage when he was on the feet

Jeremy Stephens and Bermudez, especially Stephens deserve some serious bonus money. They just got stuck on such an incredible card.

to all the haters: CONOR FIXED THE FIGHT ALONE EIREEEE. also, Faber likes to touch Champs.

Gunnar Nelson is a straight beast. The way he dismantled Thatch (who is a pretty good fighter) shows Gunnar is a beast in that division. He should be getting top five fighters soon of sure. P.S. Gunni reminds me of a fucking Viking; more specifically, he looks AND acts like Ragnar Lothbrok haha.

Anyone that says its fixed is just stupid. Why tf would UFC fix a fight where McGregor looked helpless on his back. Now I agree the stoppage was a bit earlier but I have seen much worse.

Gunnar Nelson is so fucking awesome.

Please fire herb dean..most fights that were bad stoppage came from him either he's paid or fucking stupid for stopping the fight with 3 seconds left . The worst part was that those punches Connor threw at end weren't clean they were partially blocked .herb dean sucks this fight could have been better not saying it wasn't.

Chad is such a cool dude... Seriously how can you not like this dude.... Even if I cheered for Conor I can still admit that Chad is really a nice stand up guy

56:40 hahaha funny McGregor

What does "the gate" mean when Dana is talking about PPV and audience numbers?

Have you guys realised that Conor never mentiones his gf...

Put up the video of the walk outs for Conor and chad! They are epic!!!

All the chad Boys be mad learn how to take a L

Conor seems perfectly humbled. It was good to see him go through such adversity and still get the win that I feel he deserved. Couldn't of asked for a better outcome.

@28.16 who the fuck is that guy?

When does it start

Chad doesn't even look that's bothered. He obviously got payed enough to take the dive. Pathetic.

When does it start ?

Wwe shit fixed

early stoppage?????? he was laying there getting punched whilst turtling up...bloody hell, not to mention the shot that dropped him and the shots before, a kick to the body, culminated in damage that was visibly overwhelming him to the point where his body shut down and went into shell and protect mode..

Fixed as fuck. Mendes getting huge paycheck plus not losing face cause he dominated Conor for most of the two rounds so he can come up with having not full training camp excuses.

Love it or hate it, Mcgregor is the man

the fight between conor and mendes looked fake it look like mendes let him win !!!!!

what an amazing card, from start to finish

Mendes is a class act the way he conducts himself.

Frankie should be champion by now and he will be when he beats Connor after his fight vs Aldo

I cryed when Conor won. He proved himself. He will be known as the Greatest fighter of all time. As for Robbie and Rory, that was breathtaking. I have so much respect for those warriors. I believe this was the best event of all time. Very inspirational !

24:20 lol Gunnar is more Gegard Mousasi than Mousasi himself

The one thing I took away from the main event was never stand in front of Conor, he will easily pick you apart if you do that. Since Aldo tends to stand right in front of you, I see it as an easy win for Conor. Edgar should get the next shot, and if he wants to win he needs to stay light on his feet.

Win or lose, McGregor is THE BEST mma fighter that I have ever seen step inside of the octagon.

I don't know if McGregor vs Mendez was fixed, but it was a very strange finish. Mendez dominated on the ground and could take Conor down at will. Instead Mendez stood in front of Conor, did not defend or move around. And in the end, it's in UFC best business interest to have Conor vs Aldo.

Props to Mendes for actually showing up. He looked pretty good too.

Big Connor fan and impressive win, but I would like to see him fight Chad when he's had a full camp.

Everyone that's saying Aldo will get destroyed he is the only ufc featherweight champion ever and has gone undefeated for 10 years, also defended his title 7 times show the man some respect. Though I will say it will be a good fight.

Even if Conor has an advantage over Aldo, I just don't see Aldo lose that match. Like Mendes said ''Jose is a different beast", if he explodes on Conor it will change the game. At the end of the day Jose is not the type of guy that gets hit alot.

Such a bloody event ! Even Jules Cesar might be Jealous of those Modern gladiators... but comon Dana Mcgregor already rich other fighters deserve a bonus

Mendes vs Edgar NEXT!

This fight reminded me of WWF CIRCA 1987 ' wrestle mania

Connor was getting handled most of the fight, and he was taking huge blows. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of him but he well deserved that win! He timed that first punch with his right hand after getting up and gave it all he had left in that left to knock out Mendes. Just because he was losing the fight at first doesn't mean he does not deserve it. The whole idea of a fight is not to win it, but to rather survive and be the last one standing. That is a true winner.

Almeida is going to make some noise on his division until someone really cracks him and captilize it. Lawler is a warrior, plain and simple. Mendes in a complete training camp propably would've gave Connor even more problems, win maybe, that doesn't mean Mcgregor loses to Aldo, my pick is Aldo, but it wouldn't surprise me Connor taking it home and even K.O. Aldo.

What is the point of the first 7 minutes of this video?

No doubt that Conor is a freak. Took some of Mendes' best shots, and didn't even flinch. Though, Mendes did take him down like it was a training drill. He was gassed halfway through the first round. Against Aldo he pushed the pace for 5 rounds, like an animal. You can't help but wonder how the fight goes if Mendes gets a full camp. Wouldn't have his hands low, wouldn't be puffed put after wrestling for 4 minutes. Respect to Conor and Mendes. Amazing fights.

thank you mc gregor!
