Man, say what you want about him now but McGregor’s rise through 145 was something special.

It’s one thing to get into your opponents head, but to get into his head through a language barrier… this fight is what made McGregor so huge imo, Eddie Alvarez and Nate Diaz were just the icing on top.

From his rise here by defeating Aldo to reaching the top with 2 belts and finally his loss to Khabib, what a journey, what a story.

This was just an absolute mental manipulation masterclass by Conor.
You can see it in Aldo's eyes during every press conference that he was being chipped away at.
I'm honored to have been around to watch this all go down.

'Let's count to 10 gentlemen'. 'Nate can only count to five', is still one of my favourites.

McGregor's rise was quite literally mystical. Was an absolute treat of an experience I'll never forget.

Casuals came out of the woodwork after the defeat without knowing anything about Aldo or the sport. Man is one of the best to ever do it, been fighting top 10 fighters since 2008 and 14 years later he is still a top 10 fighter

I knew he was going to win when he told him “you are going to die” in Portuguese and Aldo’s face/demeanor changed in its entirety. Conor literally scared him.

As a fellow Irishman watching Conor McGregor's fights before he fought Mayweather, was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life uo to that point.   After Mayweather money, watching him fight has been heartbreaking.

There's two fights in every ring. The physical and the mental. Master both and you'll be unstoppable. McGregor showed the world a masterclass on how to get inside someone's head

This channel hasn't just been made to take part, it's been made to TAKEOVER !! 😤 Unbelievable channel and may it continue to rise in every aspect possible because it fully deserves it 🤝🏾🐐

This is the greatest win in MMA history and it will likely never be topped.

There will never, ever, be a better time to be a fight fan than watching the rise of Mcgregor. My god what a special time.

Conor shoulda said “proud for pound headshot dead”

Connor... what could one say?
Dude is special. His rise and fall looks like an ekg during a heart attack.  Jose got smoked. Nate got beat.  Doubters got disproved, Dana got rich,  belts got secured, love or hate him.  Dude made himself an icon.

It's weird looking back and seeing this wasn't all for show like it is now. This man really thought he was untouchable and he was.

Connor is the whole reason I started watching UFC years back, man put mma on the map

Say what you want about Conor but he had a epic run in his prime. Gotta give props when they due

Conor can mess with your mind so much that you will lose the fight...Conor tried the same Mental warfare against Khabib but that back fires🔥🔥

It was a historical moment. One Conor will probably be remembered for the most.
