2013-16 Conor was something amazing to witness

[Razorjaw]

It will be an end of an era when he retires, like him or hate him, the dude makes the sport entertaining

"Open doors for everyone and lead the way"

He did

[tmoney]

Literally spoke his achievements into existence.

[amir-bzhe]

missing the old charismatic young hungry conor, wish he would be back his era felt like movie

[b-nhx]

It’s crazy how he mentioned Diaz this early

[Dave-oken]

This is what made me a fan. I had never seen a character like him before. Charismatic and captivating. Raw and honest. Definitely inspired and motivated me.

[abjaq]

Couldn't imagine the UFC if Conor hadn't come along. The sport owes alot to this man

[Giusti-J]

By the end of the interview the journalist actually *knew* what Conor meant

[thenameisSolo]

He’s accomplished every single thing he said he wanted to do and went above and beyond that. The Conor Mcgregor era will go down in combat sports history, and the history is still being written today 💪🏻 🍀

How could you not love this man.

[FindingTom]

If you want to get drunk like an Irishman take a shot every time Conor says "yewknawwhutimeen?"

[crnaglava]

You can see he had nothing to lose back then, he was feeling no pressure. That' s why he was invincible.

[James-Specter]

1:40-1:55

He said he's taken moves from GSP, silva, diaz and shogun. cool af

[tigerbeatfilms]

Conor is a legend. Love him or hate him he is a legend.

Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agreed that Alpha Conor made our day better:

[LukasDG]

4:48 "The day you stop trying to learn is the day you start losing" - Conor was a different man during his run up to knocking Jose Aldo in December 2015 and winning the featherweight title compared to who's been since fighting Floyd. He used to taunt opponents as a tactic rather than to stroke his ego, then the fame got to his head and he cared more about making money than being the best MMA fighter he could be. He used to be a master of human movement and have a PhD in unarmed combat, now he's a pretty good fighter and a great businessman. 2013-15 Conor was one of the highest peaks we've ever seen from an MMA fighter, hope he does well against Dustin for his sake.

[pornhub]

Motivated and trash talk conor is a great combination.

[FaisalHiyasat]

"You can't have an ego in this game"
True conor, very true.
