For all of you saying he seemed off its a simple answer.
He underestimated khabib, he couldn’t use his footwork because of khabib’s wrestling he was so worried about it which is why Khabib was able to land that over hard he took the bait so hard conor was about to sprawl before Khabib landed the overhand right.
The threat of a take-down opens up a lot of opportunity
Kevin Luna I agree. they say conor was off and not the same conor... it's cause he was scared, he knew how good khabib was and he knew he pissed him off.
Conor was out of his element and got what he asked for
Kevin Luna spot on

Kevin Luna. Exactly bro...
You can't 100% commit to the left hand, when you're worried about getting taken down.
Conor, in my opinion looked great.
I think there are alot of 155ers he would have knocked out. But not Khabib.
He's too strong mentally and physically for conor.
Not to mention his outstanding wrestling
+Kevin Luna True, also... Everyone underestimated McGregor's ability to get nervous.
He seemed extremely nervous since the whole fight got set-up, everyone was worried about Khabib getting triggered and being punked (which happened), but nobody or very little took notice of how nervous McGregor was coming into this fight because of the beef, the trash talk of Khabib, and the incredible wrestling and cardio level that he knew he was going to be facing.
McGregor should have been a lot more active and more aggressive, that was his only shot on winning.
@Mike Forti khabib didn't train for months prior because of ramadan.
So many Conor apologists. He lost period. No excuses, Khabib was just the better fighter. If Connor was too stupid to even properly prepare for a fight then that’s on him. If you think money corrupted him, then it just shows how unprofessional and stupid he is. Floyd Mayweather made more money than anyone in boxing but, developed a smarter adaptive fighting style which, was efficient even for when he got older. Conor is too deep in his own shit and is too stupid to adapt. Again that’s on him and Khabib won fair and square.
A high level wrestler can create openings on even the most skilled striker. The striker has to stay ready for takedowns/clinches which leaves their head open, that's how Khabib got a chance for that huge shot. He's insane. The only competition left for Khabib is Ferguson or Lee.
It's awesome how many peoples opinions vary on why what happened did indeed happen.
I really don't feel it was one thing or another I think it was the culmination of many things that caused him to look lax on the feet, but what happened on the ground is exactly what happens 10/10 times if they meet on the ground.
Added to his layoff and family duties, I 100% feel he underestimated Khabib. Conor and his whole camp did nothing but bash Khabib's family, religion, corner men, and most importantly his standup and praise how well Conor's ground and grappling training were going.
He came in looking like he hadn't trained at all so the ring rust looked apparent to me for his standup atleast and I see the flat heavy footed approach being that he expected the shot from Khabib.
Conor, in my opinion needs to go ham on pure grappling and JJ defense before he decides to start the next round of verbal(and physical) onslaughts.
Better than what people knew about him but not as good as we all hoped. That's one of the most disappointing things, that he was just like people expected him to be.
He kind of gave up.
If you watch the fight you see him giving up his back and pretty much letting khabib choke him out, he was gassed and wanted out, or that's how it looked like.
So everyone trashing him about having no heart, I can't say they were right since the Diaz 2 fight showed enough, but they had some legit reasons to say that.
Also I thought that Conor would be training his ass off after the Chad fight in wrestling, like every single day only that minus the several months for floyd + that he would be MUCH MUCH better boxer after fighting the greatest one ever and preparing only in boxing for months.
Both things turned ou tot be incorrect.
He didnt train only wrestling for years as he should have after Chad did that with him, nor was he stand up better, it was actually worse.
After the Eddie fight, everyone was like WOW, he is so much better than we thought he was, damn.
He made alvarez look like an amateur.
In this fight he looked exactly like every single hater said he would. It was sad to watch.
Hope to see him hungry, take of 1-2 years off and train his ass of, forget about the money and fame and prove everyone wrong again.

Conor did better than expected on the ground (at least until he gassed out).
Khabib did better on standup than expected.
Obvious that both were trained pretty well to defend their weaknesses... all except Conor's cardio. I would have figured he'd be in better shape. Apparently, when you have a hundred million in the bank, it's kinda hard to get yourself out of bed at 5am and into your running shoes.
Conor isn't the same guy. He had all the same shots to take, but his reaction timing was gone. He looked slow. His ground game looked weak. Not that he had to beat KN on the floor, but he made simple tactical mistakes several times. Just found out he's a brown belt??? KN is awesome on the floor, but Conor posed virtually zero pass retention resistance... letting Khabib's under-hooks get in easy... I'm sure Conor is good in the gym, but it doesn't look like he's getting any smash-mouth rolls with high-level grapplers. Most importantly, he quit when he didn't have to. That choke is defensible. Both hands were free, but he took the out. Maybe he gets tapped trying anyway, but he could have scrapped there. He chose not to.
Dagestan is a very high altitude country and has some of the highest oxygen starvation on the planet. These people have been trying to fight out of fucking breath before the fight even begins. He comes to America feeling like he can do 35 fucking rounds and this Is why Khabib Is such A cardio machine
What morons said that wasn’t a neck crank? What annoyed me was all the people calling it a choke! But honestly, and I’m a a fan of Conor, but he had given up before the crank was locked. He did just like Khabib said he would: he got tired or couldn’t take the beating anymore, and gave up the submission. When he gave Khabib his back, he made no attempt to protect his neck, and when Khabib kicked that submission on him, he made no attempt to try to stop it or lessen the pressure with his hands. Afterwards, you can see it in his eyes when he’s still just sitting there. I think the fact that not only was Khabib out striking him, but it seemed like Conor’s shots that landed on Khabib had little effect. I think that really crushed Conor’s spirit.
People are saying there doesn't need to be a rematch because it was one-sided. True, but the interest Conor and Khabib generated is enormous. Conor and his fans are desperate to redeem themselves by winning fight #2, and Khabib and his fans would be more than happy to humiliate Conor not once, but TWICE, especially Khabib himself because I think he absolutely ENJOYED mauling Conor and would not pass up a chance to beat him again.
This is an easily marketable fight. In one corner, you have the defeated former king making one last ditch effort to reclaim his place on top in the world of MMA, and in the other, you have the undisputed champion who is returning to the octagon after sparking the UFC 229 riot, arguably the sport's most embarrassing moment in history, vowing to put Conor away once and for all and win gracefully this time. One sided match or not, this is a main event that both the fighters and the people will want. Plus, it carries the possibility of Conor winning and a potential tie-breaking third match which would REALLY get the people tuning in. I'm sure that fight would break records. We are witnessing what will probably be the most entertaining UFC rivalry EVER.
Conor went head hunting at the start. Didn't set up his range. Got a second wind in the 3rd and stuffed a few takedowns. But when he got taken down in the 4th you could see him finally fade. He looked like he was chasing khabib, instead of reading him and setting up shots with teet kicks etc. All respect to khabib, he's an animal. Brilliant wrestling style. I'd like to see them fight again sometime in the future, not next though.
Can't believe no one else is talking about this....the most effective tactic of the night was when Khabib wrapped up Conor's ankles in the first round,pretty much giving him pins and needles,destroying Conor's footwork and kicks. Khabib DID look shaken in the third round,the first round he has ever lost.By that point he had pounded Conor with his best ground game for two rounds,so he must have been wondering if his ground game would defeat Conor. However,this fight was stunningly obviously loaded towards Conor.He cheated multiple times.
That overhand right that dropped Conor won khabib the fight in my opinion. Conor defended the first round takedown much better than any of khabibs past opponents and took basically zero damage. After Conor got dropped he got taken down right after and then couldn’t defend himself well enough anymore and the 2nd round was where he got ground and pounded and you could tell in the 3rd round Conor wasn’t the same after that. It wasn’t a cardio issue, it was just how much damage he took in the 2nd round and khabib was pretty much just a little tired but fresh overall.
Honestly Conor doesn't deserve a rematch. He looked unconditioned and off blah blah but thats his fault. His gotta start from ground up in the UFC and earn his name back as the Notorious. Then maybe he can step in the octagon with Khabib again.
Mostly everything has been said about this fight one way or another but what I noticed right off the bat is Conner looked flat stepping into that ring. That’s a term we use in bodybuilding when a guy doesn’t get his prep right and diets & dehydrates so much before going on stage that he loses muscle fullness and vascularity. Conner didn’t appear to gain any size after the weigh in, like he usually does. He look surprisingly small!
I think most commenters don't remember Tyson and Ali. If you think Conors trash talk or other antics are bad you should look up Ali's trash talk or Tyson's press conference with Lennox. Lennox and holyfield were actually both bitten by Tyson. Tyson tackled Lennox and bit his ankle at an event as well as a number of other things. It's nothing new and sells fights
I don’t know exactly if joe is right, I had this done to me in a BJJ class I felt my jaw about to shatter the nerves were going crazy, the pressure was unbearable, however no form of choking felt. Unless my opponent successfully got me to tap without doing the move correctly and inadvertently found a new way to submit?????????????
I'm Connor fan, but one thing he lacks in is learning to be humble, there will always be someone with knowledge that carries further with strategic advantages from what he's learned or capable of. Many fighters have had their moment in the spotlight, but never realize it can be taken away in a moments notice. Respect your opponents, respect the opportunities given, learn proper disciplines of the mind, body and soul.
Khabeeb said he took it easy on AL because he wanted the practice. I just thought that I'd throw that out there. I believe Khalabeeb, doesn't seem like the type to lie.
He wasn’t using his footwork.
He was depleted. I mean that’s pretty good game plan by the Russian so props to him for doing that.
I think the rematch happens he’s going to get it.
Why?
Just like he did when he went against Nate Diaz.
He respected him further he put more training in more effort in studied him to win the fight.
He actually used his skills that he was taught and wasn’t reckless like he was the first fight with absolutely zero respect.
The one where he fought Alvarez that was him at one of his best.
He thought he could walk all over diaz in the first fight and when you’re tough as nails it’s a long night for him just like what happened.
Like in this fight he was flat footed and wasn’t doing anything and was trying to freaking wrestle him.
Like he wanted to lose this fight.
Maybe it was because he took the time off and that’s why he paid for.
Who knows?
Now he’s got a good idea what to expect.
Now he knows what he needs to work on and now he knows to respect him and now utilize all of his game tools the second fight to win it.
Nate said if I had a full camp he wouldn’t even be able to touch me.
Well look what happened he had a full camp and was defeated.
A McGregor who is determined and is not irrational and if he does gives zero fucks this time he’s going to win the rematch.
We’re going to see the best McGregor we’ve seen if he uses his tools right when he went against Diaz in the second fight Very hard loss for him here but he’s going to be back stronger and a better fighter.
Respect to the Russian for having a dominant win but it ain’t going to last for long.
I’d say work on his cardio a little bit more and more wrestling for the second fight and is as good as he was when he fought Alvarez he has this in the bag.
He wants this rematch now he knows he can come out strong this time if he doesn’t act reckless like he was leading up to this fight. 👊🏼
M Kim he's surrounded by yes men and shit coaches what do you expect to happen
Look at Rousey before her fall. She went really over the top in her pre-fight antics and then got smashed. Look at how over the top Conor went before the fight and then got smashed. It's beginning to look like each of these fighters try so hard to get into the heads of their opponents and when it didn't work, they ended up getting into their own heads and came out more scared than their opponents. Conor was really terrified of Khabib that's why he was so over the top. Next time a fight like this happens, I will use this psychology to bet and see if I can make money on it.
Ima Mcregor fan and i was sad when he lost. Khabib deserved to win that fight hands down. But on the other hand, Mcgegor looked slow, lethargic, no plan A or B and didnt look hungry for it. Could be because he is more interested in his other businesses, 2 year outside the octagon or just could be that he knew he couldn't handle Khabibs size and power. There will be a rematch because Conor can do what he pleases in the ufc because he makes them millions. I hope Conor is hungry in the rematch. Well done Khabib though

Everything on this planet including us is made out of energy.
Science has already determined that all matter is made out of atoms and the atoms are constructed out of protons, electrons, and neutrons.
Science explains that when you get a jolt of static shock from the carpet an access of electrons jump from the carpet and enters your body.
You are sharing with your surrounding more than you think.
On a spiritual level, humans produce negative and positive energy by the way they use their thoughts.
As people experience life, they produce thoughts that match what they observe.
For example; if a person is sick the state of mind is fixated on the pain and the problem at hand intertwined with a negative feeling of sadness.
This situation will create more of the negative energy which affects the aura surrounding the body.
Your auric field of energy interacts with all that surrounds it.
You are getting affected by the majority of the thoughts, feelings, and actions produced by others.
This is why hospitals are not good candidates for recoveries.
They are saturated with negative energy released by a large amount of people located all in the same place.
Nature, animals, plants, and trees possess a large amount of positive energy.
How many times have we heard that having pets promotes good health especially for seniors?!
It is because animals are happy creatures, and do not think negatively like people would do.
When petting your dog or cat, this positive energy rubs off on you making your aura energized and happy.
If you are suffering from a sickness and need a recovery period, try to find a natural setting in a wooded place away from the big cities and temporarily relocate to release the access negative energy within you.
Surround yourself with trees, plants and your pet companion.
Eat the freshest fruits and vegetables you can get, and do not drink chemically treated city water; use only spring water, distilled water, or maybe fresh mountain spring water with natural mineral content.
Touching plants and trees help exchange your negative energy with positive energy faster.
Plants and trees are not just pollutant absorbers, but negative energy neutralisers and positive energy providers.
A city with a large quantity of trees has an elevated level of positive vibrations in the area.
The larger the population of people in the city, the more dense the negative energy becomes.
Water is a cleanser for negative energy; the more natural the water is the higher positive vibration it possesses.
Jesus tried to explain the process of cleansing with water which Christianity call a baptism; but they think of it as one time ceremony to get rid of sins!
Using Himalayan salt sprinkled in your bath is refreshing. Salt in general is for some reason an effective healer of negative energy, when combined with water it becomes a tonic for healing.
I personally use it in my children’s bath when they have a cold, flu, or a fever; it works really well if it’s used before bed time.
When sitting in the water use your thoughts to imagine your negative energy being released and washed away.
You could also affirm out loud saying “all negative energies are now released” as many times as you are comfortable with.
Use it also to help your sick children.
This is a form of water meditation.
The most negative energy producers are people, if you need time to recover, you must remove yourself from large crowded areas, and surround yourself with nature.
You can also use meditation to disconnect your thoughts from what’s bothering you, and reengage yourself with your inner peace and happiness.

Water mostly enters a tree through the roots by osmosis and any dissolved mineral nutrients will travel with it upward through the inner bark's xylem (using capillary action) and into the leaves.
These traveling nutrients then feed the tree through the process of leaf photosynthesis.
This is a process that converts light energy, usually from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel an organisms' activities including growth.
Trees supply leaves with water because of a decrease in hydrostatic or water pressure into upper, leaf-bearing parts called crowns or canopies.
This hydrostatic pressure difference "lifts" the water to the leaves. Ninety percent of the tree's water is eventually dispersed and released from leaf stomata.
They are mostly found on the under-surface of plant leaves.
Air also enters the plant through these openings.
The carbon dioxide in the air entering the stoma is used in photosynthesis.
Some of the oxygen produced is used in respiration through evaporation, into the atmosphere.
That beneficial loss of water from plants is called transpiration.
A fully grown tree may lose several hundred gallons of water through its leaves on a hot, dry day.
The same tree will lose nearly no water on wet, cold, winter days, so water loss is directly related to temperature and humidity.
Another way to say this is that almost all water that enters a tree's roots is lost to the atmosphere but the 10% that remains keeps the living tree system healthy and maintains growth.
Evaporation of water from the upper parts of trees especially leaves but also stems, flowers and roots can add to a tree's water loss.
Certain tree species are more efficient in managing their rate of water loss and are normally found naturally on drier sites.
An average maturing tree under optimal conditions can transport up to 10,000 gallons of water only to capture about 1,000 usable gallons for the production of food and adding to its biomass.
This is called the transpiration ratio, the ratio of the mass of water transpired to the mass of dry matter produced.
A single acre of forest land, during the course of a growing season, can add 4 tons of biomass but uses 4,000 tons of water to do so.
Roots take advantage of "pressures" when water and its solutions are unequal.
The key to remember about osmosis is that water flows from the solution with the lower solute concentration (the soil) into the solution with higher solute concentration (the root).
Water uptake by plant root osmosis creates a more negative hydrostatic pressure potential near the root surface.
Tree roots sense water (less negative water potential) and growth is directed towards water (hydrotropism).
Transpiration is the evaporation of water from trees out and into the Earth's atmosphere.
Leaf transpiration occurs through pores called stomata, and at a necessary "cost", displaces of much of its valuable water into the atmosphere.
These stomata are designed to allow the carbon dioxide gas to exchange from air to assist in photosynthesis that then creates the fuel for growth.
We need to remember that transpiration cools trees and every organism around it.
Transpiration also helps to cause that massive flow of mineral nutrients and water from roots to shoots which is caused by a decrease in hydrostatic (water) pressure.
This loss of pressure is caused by water evaporating from the stomata into the atmosphere and the beat goes on.
