This is clearly old footage, he’s got the frame for 155lbs or 170lbs here and the longish hair, I would say this is somewhere close to the Khabib fight because his hair is the same style here as around that time but it could also be around the time of his Cowboy fight. Conor is twice the size now and besides I don’t think he’s fully cleared from his doctors to all out roll like this yet Edit: a lot of delusional people in this comment section lmao Edit 2: hahahhahaa I told you delusional kids. Look at the new sparring footage of Conor he’s just uploaded which is actually of him recently. A lot more stockier than he was in this old clip, a lot more stuck in the mud, different hair and visible scar. Bunch of clowns the lot of yous, I told you

I read that in his voice, and imagining the response from Khabib😂😂

Yea ya hope mate

LETS WRESTLE

Seems like he was letting the guy do some work, pausing in positions to see of the guy would chain something else in.

And then he fights and gets smashed. It is a perfect balance.

@@R7SOUL bro xD

like you'd know lol

I would say I agree but the way he currently does pad/heavy bag work is very stiff and full power. Which indicates thats probably how he really trains mostly. Not sure why the guy who had insane timing and precision trains like that going against previous methodologies hes had. He always had a flowy style to his fighting even his grappling (like when he swipped nate diaz) which he shows here even if its against a guy whos lower level than him but not sure why hes strayed in his striking. Who knows maybe one day we'll see that flowy style again.

He looks like shit, lol this is like not good wrestling bro.

None of the karate dudes do what conor did, spinning back kick axe kick high kick all back to back, max fight is perfect example. Wonderboy has a completely different style and so does every other karate dude in the ufc

First thing I noticed as well

Didn't work tho, Khabib still had him but props to him for kind of challenging such a wrestler as Khabib.

@@MuhammadAli-kg7ij yeah but khabib couldn’t take him down in the 3rd round so he has that aswell

Yup! one just has respect Conor regardless of one's personal opinion on how he lives his life. Dude loves the sports and that's enough for me.

Thats passion and love for this. I found myself doing this trainings sometimes only because i love it is part of me and it makes me feel good.

he hasn't done everything. He's still never defended a belt.

@@youbetzler What’s your point?

@@youbetzler or beat a prime top 5 contender at 155. Eddie was old and on his way out per Conor's own words.

He's not returning. At least not for a long time. He's been out of the USADA testing pool since seemingly his last fight. You have to be IN the testing pool for a minimum of 6 months I believe before you're allowed to even be booked for a fight.

@@shane7051 where did you get your info?

@@smoke617 Article 5.7. 3 of the UFC Anti-Doping Policy.

@@smoke617 Basic research skills go a long way, dummy.

He isn’t out of the testing pool, he never left the testing pool. He just hasn’t been tested in a while, USADA isn’t sending people to check his piss in Ireland

Imagine he submits his next opponent. Conor with grapling would be very dangerous. Just like charlie olives

Conor doesn't have the cardio for it.

@DireGoth03 Gaming Channel Hell nah for Conor to become a wrestler he needs to practice wrestling nearly everyday the cardio for wrestling and striking is a lot different.

Yes its funny

His striking very good, the wrestling that he needs is anti-wrestling

B.c it sucks!

no it is average

@@jackblack4654 his take down defences against khabib was phenomenal. What are you talking about? You never wrestled in your life.

@@gamebred6995 No it's not, you can see the scar on his leg.

@@gasbaroni parts of the gym you can see in this video havnt been there for like 3 years, people who train at sbg have pointed it out a few times dude

He will start by talking about conors technique, but he will end up talking about himself someone.

Actually no it’s pretty useless, u can use it to snap out opponent down and transition it into holding the traps. Other than that it’s super useless to just leave your hand on their head. If anything it leaves you very exposed to ur opponents offense as it can lead to them using a 2 on 1 or they could just push ur elbow up and leave u at the mercy of a single leg/ high crotch. That’s why my wrestling coach says to only put ur hand on their head for no more than 2 seconds.

everyone in this thread is goofy

@michael d ooooo you're cool

​​@@tonyespinoza3891 you and your wrestling coach are bums so who gives a fuck what you or he says.

@@tonyespinoza3891 yeah dude that was either a low level wrestler or someone letting conor get rounds in at a low pace But his single leg wasnt super clean and his bjj definitely wasnt And even still conor was using more muscle pushing the other guy and exploding more in a few unnecessary ways like in clenches

True warrior i hope he sticks to a code

He lasted longer than any of khabibs opponents. Just sayin.

I hope we could see him wrestle against bigger guys

You’ll never see him fight again sadly bro.

@@SirChiefsAlot he is going to fight bro and he will shut his haters pie hole brooooooo

@@ashleyd1379 what are you talking about? He got beat by poirier fair and square. Then broke his leg. He’s a very good fighter. Even Dustin and khabib admit that he’s very dangerous. People like you are so annoying

@@JB-pz6bm just lose hope already the guy is washed

@@JB-pz6bm great fighter 100% agree but if he’s fighting the top 5 he doesn’t look the same. I personally say the only reason he’s getting matched up with top 5 guys is because he’s Conor. He does add a interesting element to the division but not sure if he has it anymore… that plus sounds like he’s almost positively on ped’s now. I mean just look at the dude 🤷‍♂️

And in round 3. Whether Khabib was gassed or what, regardless, McGregor stopped all of his 3 takedown attempts that round.

@@user-nv2wt4hi8t and Khabib didn't seem tired either, Conor did! Lmao

exactly but I'm guessing that he is taking it in stages

nobody really wants to be around him, hes too polarizing. Hes isolated himself from literally everyone else.

@@ryannath85 😅🤣😅

It's beneficial to train with weaker smaller people, it's how you start doing new moves and use more technique.

It definitely helps to train with people who are lower level than you but given Conor has always had control over his camps i see where youre coming from

Its useful for that kid that is training against someone who is better than him. Conor is obviously a student in that gym just like the rest of them Hes a true martial artist who understands that its not just about himself but his training partners as well

Sbg has a lot fighters way worse than mcgregor. That’s why he’s the best

So many experts here hahahahhaahahha just let him do his thing ..he is double champ and rich af you are nothing

I think this was before the Cerrone fight. He looks smaller and his hair is the same before ufc 246

nah his leg is fine. its been more than a year

@@realkingrav2265 nah this was today

@@wormerpranks4633 they might have posted it today but this is an old clip. His body, hair, plus he’s not even in ireland rn he’s shooting a movie

@@realkingrav2265 and the video of him sparring he just posted?

Fool

This an old video from Mcgregor. He reposted this from 2018 and 2019 trainning. Now he is more muscular not like in the video

He'll be on track for Bellator.

Yea, he wants to keep his job, so he's not going to handle Conor like he could.

You don’t go 100% in sparring

Its really average, ond could argue below average.

@@milenavidmar2733 Definitely above average and overlooked due to it being Conor.

@@EyesWideOp3n literally below average which proved in every one of his fights. Below average wrestling skills with 0 cardio makes you a terrible grappler.

yeah. i also thought his opponent in this video was way too small for him

His takedown defence isn’t that bad. It’s just not good enough to deal with high level wrestlers.

you don't learn wrestling. it's something you have to grind and grind. conor will never be good at wrestling because he doesn't have the stamina. he might be able to stuff some takedowns but every opponent of his knows by now to keep the pressure on him and he will eventually gas out. Conor's downfall is he moved up a weight class (bigger dudes, many who walk around at 175-180 lbs) whereas in the featherweight division, he was fighting much smaller overall guys. And then after the fight with Floyd, he stopped focusing on MMA and relied on his boxing constantly hunting for the head shots.

Na u wrong am not really a big Connor fan anymore but his takedown defence is decent...at lightweight its gis cardio he needs to work on cause he cant flatline oppponents he gas to go a little deeper and problem is his cardio is worse now than it ever has been

No chance, hes finished. Too rich

@just i c e why does everyone post that shity air fryer video

@C L that was a young max though with no experiance and a Dennis siver on the decline, he got sloppy against Nate, and ragged dolled on the mat against khabib, he almost got caught in a guillotine against Chad. His jitz isn't the best to compete with the highest in the UFC. His jitz is decent just not the highest level especially when he's gassed out

Conor went 5 rounds with Diaz and 10 rounds with Mayweather, his gas tank is fine.

@@Paul-sl9zm obviously he meant gas tank for grappling, and he was gassed out in both those fights.

@@Paul-sl9zm think you need to go back and watch that fight mate, his literally blowing out of his ass

Eddie wasn't himself mentally against Conor n chose to brawl with the G.O.A.T in striking. The result was obvious

@@poatan6304 One guy was just saying that Eddie destroyed Conor verbally. I laughed so hard. Delusuonal fans.

@@too_sturdy haters gonna hate bro and will literally say anything 😂😉

It's better for his ego to train with beginners

He only trains with yes-men now. He needs to learn that iron sharpens iron and that every fighter needs a master. He is not washed due to age or damage, but because he has become his own coach and is undisciplined

I was thinking the same

2 years off coming from a 100 million dollar boxing match changing his body completley. No wonder Khabib ran from the rematch, he knows he got lucky

Jesus christ talk about COPE

@@nsbdbsbsbdbzbz8555 good joke, made me laugh

How does that work? Hip-pressure?

McGregor could "feel good" about his wrestling with his sparring partners but his opponent will be completely different . Like if you agree

@@jhosserivera7162 yeah + hes not wrestling people who are world class like the guys hes facing. He needs to switch camps and find one that will work on things like setups rather than just throwing combos and sitting on the outside. He had his most success when he threw traps and then countered (example being aldo).

@@ItsReplayBro facts . He's surrounded by yes men . "Conor your wrestling is amazing ! No one can stop you now !" Lol
