Imagine being Aldo and you have to watch this over and over again while you're trying to make your comeback.
I mean, according to his latest results he's doing pretty well....
@@nomercy6685 he did say he was on the verge of retiring and I don’t blame him
@@alexisogbemudia5458Aldo's on verge of another title. Conor's been retired for 5 years

@@amarirasheed6 Doubtful conor would take the fight at this stage of his career, everything to lose plus Aldo been looking good recently. Even if Conor wanted the fight I'm sure his camp/management would advise against it
Still one of the best knockouts in the history of the UFC based off opponent, circumstances and outcome alone.
Yeah you right. Big Jon knee really did that…
People forget Aldo hadn't lost in almost 10 years before this.
Absolutely. Jose was the King, and alot of people didnt think conor was that good.
@@et_music_is_life and he's never been knocked out in his career took Conor 13seconds
I honesty think Conor was a bit lucky with this ko tbh because he didn't load up for the punch and it looked more defensive. Great defensive control imo but Aldo messed up and left himself vulnerable. What Conor did to Alvarez though was completely different. Conor put on a clinic.
The amount of people, including Jon Jones, who thought he stood no chance, is insane, and the fact that he knocked him out in 13 seconds is wild

the crazy part is he predicted everything from the shot to how aldo would react ,man connor was truly something else
The emotions in this fight decided the end of it, you can see how jose aldo in the start is nervous and connor relaxed
@@gero4528bro Conor was literally practicing this move for this exact moment. Footage of him doing it before the fight
thats because it was all an act. the entire thing was staged. they were all actors putting on a show and everyone played their part. not a real fight. just a real good play.
@@ekstat1c Lmfao you're delusional.
Conor practiced a fluke win for a year, it was more a heist than a fight.
And Big John Mccarthy putting the final touch with a solid sliding knee
Glad I wasn’t the only one to notice that 😂
Lol
He actually trained masvidal for the askren fight
Lmfaooooo just noticed that. Really moved his head too
yup LMOL
After all the build up, all the talk, this was one of the greatest moments in MMA history, it was too perfect
Greatest? No. This is cool though He’s the first ufc fighter I ever heard so I’ll give him that

Aldo’s comeback fights after this defeat were impressive as his championship performances.
It takes someone special to go through the build up and the result of this fight, and then come back like Aldo did.
conor wrecked aldo's legacy.
@@justinjohnson8551 well Aldo’s defeat might have caused him the championship, he’s still been one of the best to ever do it. Mcg overall has been the best entertainer but sadly his opponents have been too much for him.

This version of McGregor was incredible. His precision punching and timing were unmatched by anyone in the sport and he was just great entertainment all round. It's incredibly sad that we have watched fame and fortune rob him of not only his charisma and wit but also his skill.
Until he became a drug addict and alcoholic and had no motivation no more
@@ithinkimlucas1366 Only bums think like you
I agree i think he could beat khabib in that time
@@mauriciogabriel7985 Yea right. Khabib and Islam are in their own dimension. Nobody comes close to those guys at all.
I agree tho, and it’s because I’m high, but this conor right here was always hungry for everything, he would easily ko khabib In this time, his skill and his drive alone would beat anyone. It makes me wanna cry that fame got to him, because he could’ve easily been the most athletic person to ever live in mma
Conor’s run is the absolute definition of “lightning in a bottle”
The rise of McGregor was wild. Then he lost his mind
There's a thing called prime. He beat Alvarez, max, Dustin 1, ended aldo's one decade undefeated run if I'm not wrong etc he wasn't hungry anymore after the money boxing fight and thus the fight meta left him.
@Billy Jackson i disagree, connor was a monster and after the floyd fight it took the wind out of his sails, to say he couldnt do this again is taking credit away from him for no reason.
Till khabib took his soul
A protected and manufactured run.
The glory years before the UFC became too commercial. What a time.
this was after the reebok deal though
nah 2011 was the glory years. The Conor era was boring
You mean before the fighters were making minimum wage? LOL Conor McGregor made people get paid
@@joshstixxfata you’re a Dosser mate; and you know it!

It was Conor's prime version. Speed, timing, power, everything was top-notch. Unfortunately, now he is more a businessman than a fighter.
Physical doesn't last forever, he's smart to start building other sources of income.

Man that KO of Jose Aldo by Conor McGregor was crazy!! 13 seconds! I was expecting a 25 minute war, I remember screaming out loud! What a moment!!! 😊 Conor McGregor the icon! The excitement he creates for his fights is next level, from the press conference to the event, his star power and charisma is unmatched, a true global superstar. He truly changed the sport of MMA, helped it grow into a global phenomenon, only one Notorious Conor McGregor 👏👏👏
All those media months and time to build the fight wore Aldo’s spirit down during the hungriest Mcgregor mindset.
Hate him or love him, First fighter that drove UFC reputation to the peak

Mcgregor lost his old style .
The NY Mets were good once too.
@@Will-xl7xp He was never the same after Mayweather
When they show the shot from over Aldo's shoulder, you can see the exact moment the lights go out, its just after his own punch connects with Connor. His whole body just relaxes and he falls to the ground like a crumpling statue. Hell of a punch.
But, he didn't lose his consciousness. You can see that he was able to get his head up.
@lee_syams04 that was his body stiffening up once he hit the canvas. he definitely went out, for just a split second tho, but it was lights out.
"Precision beats Power and Timing beats Speed" ~The Notorious🔥🔥🔥
That was his slogan in 145 ❤
I've been saying "timing beats speed" for like 15 years. I coach fencing though so I use it for that
crazy to think how conor predicted it aswell. his timing and precision are impecable. aldo put hella power in his shot but conor just placed his shot at the right place at right time. conor threw slightly early and by the time aldo's shot connected, he was already out so his power behind his shot faded. one of the best runs in ufc he had. hope he makes a comeback
he was even practicing that exact same shot in the locker room before the fight, it was absolutely a magical moment.
Yeah this was when he was at the edge of being an ego maniac what happened is after this his ego ate him up he didn't train the same then tried boxing chnaged his entire style tried getting bigger because of his ego tried being the best stand up striker with just hands because of his ego when all he had to do was stick with what he knew and what got him there they movement his stance his legs and his timing and he would of been on top for a long long time lol

The ref and Joe said “wow” to each other 😂
THE CONFIDENCE HE HAD FIGHTING A 10 YR UNDEFEATED FIGHTER WAS INCREDIBLE..
One of mma’s biggest moments ever. This ko put ufc on a whole different level of exposure to the world
Will forever be one of the most iconic moments in UFC history, would be special to see these 2 go at it again🤷♂️
I think it is the most iconic. This and then the Alvarez fight made him by far the most popular mma fighter ever
@@tylerjoy1772 Nate was a bigger deal than Eddie.
JOSEEEEEEEE ARE YOU LISTENIN
@@DDaltonnMaybe so. I would say that the Nate rematch was super important for the UFC. Golden boy Conor lost by submission in one of the biggest upsets ever. Diaz isn’t even a top 5 fighter like Conor was at the time and he absolutely choked him out. Bigger upset than buster Douglas
@@Aleksandr68351 just to make sure you remember correctly… Nate chocked Conor out in the first fight, and Conor won the second. The first fight,…. every die hard ufc fan, even die hards who liked Conor, predicted the first fight. Every fanboy thought it was gunna be a walk in the park. And everyone who actually knew MMA, knew Nate had a huge chance. The outcome of Conor v Nate 1 was more hyped than Eddie.

That counter punch is still the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen given that he manifested this moment from the press conferences lol
I think it's rivaled by Suga Sean on Aljo last weekend. Both just as beautiful. It's a draw for me.
Outside of Dan Hendo's massacre of Bisping's consciousness, this here, is my favorite knockout of all time. You don't do THAT to Jose Aldo. Not in 13 secs

@@gamebred6995 no

@@beaualoevv3243 --- Why do you reply the same comment all the time? Even when it isn't relevant.
Am I the only one who thinks that Conor never connected that punch so well for aldo to fall and go sleep. Was everything staged by UFC?
Il always come back to this. The pressure at the time was outrageous. 13 seconds to finish
Looking back again seeing Aldo land a shot while unconscious makes this still the greatest ufc moment ever, wasn’t easy for both fighters, in the end all that hard work put into mer seconds! Crazy how Conor manage to land his shot precisely on the money with quick forward hip momentum, gorgeous
I was just thinking the same, also... After watching it again, what getting me is the power vs control and discipline vs rage example that played out. That 1 strike that Aldo hit was ALL OUT and even caused Conor to bleed. Just a little lower and it could have been a double KO. If Conor missed it could have been the start of game over for him, but when Aldo made the move, discipline and control prevailed.
Conor didn’t bleed?
@@CarlosPablo247the real winner is the angles Conor always shifts before he throws his left diagonally so that it would clip the chin at the very bottom where as Aldo just aimed for the center of his head
@@mikeadams3305 he literally had a cut over his eye from the one punch Aldo landed while being knocked out….and yes it bled lol
And if you look close, he actually cut Connor with that punch. Two beasts!

Legendary times, single handedly changed the course of UFC History, like Jones, Silva, etc. Did. Was special to watch
I had read that videographers were there to contribute to a movie about Aldo's life....a Biography type thing....the pressure that Aldo was feeling from all this probably added to his stiffness...plus MaC just added so much with his insults etc....legendary 13 seconds.
Who is here after doumbe's knockout against Zebo
This will live on for decades, I still can’t get my head around it
This is such a beautiful knockout, which makes it even more of a shame that we never really saw McGregor fight like this after he won the two belts. He's been so static in his recent fights - next to no kicks and not managing distance or creating angles. I feel like the "true" McGregor never really lost and I would love to see him again, but it seems he's lost the magic.
I call it the Ronda effect at this point Fighter gets famous, Fighter gets deals from places like Hollywood or some brand, Fighter focuses more on self branding over fighting, Fighter still loves fighting, fighter comes back, fighter loses for they are struggling to manage peek performance and buisness at the same time. Fighter realizes its not possible to do both, fighter retires. You see this happen so many times in combat sports.
Which, now that you've put it that way, is completely fair enough from the fighter's perspective because you have to leave fighting at some point and it is such a dangerous sport. It just sucks for us! And clearly when you look at some of Ronda's interviews, it can suck for them, too
The prime Silva never really lost either. He just messed around and got ko’d by wiedman
@@madmaxiemartialartsnerd485 No its just the rise and fall of a fighter. Its certainly not from ronda rousey lol.

Aldo will remember this match as long as he lives.😂
This was the biggest moment in UFC history. Not just for the anticipation and outcome, but for the scales tipping ever so slightly to the side for fighter pay and equity. The fight game has been changed permanently, for the better.
Conor's interviews during fightweek leading up to this were totally meditative. Saying things like "he thinks I will be there, but I will not be there" and Kung fu stuff like that. He was dialed in bigtime.
Gotta rewatch this after O'Malley vs Sterling happen 😅😅😅
Most people don’t understand how much of a monster Jose Aldo was leading up to this fight. The fact that this fight ended the way it did is fucking crazy. I remember seeing this the first time my jaw literally dropped because I couldn’t believe what I just witnessed.
One of the greatest title wins in UFC history
I would say out of the whole "Conor and McCarthy VS The World" series, this one was their best KO. Those punches by Conor were clean but that running shin strike by McCarthy was perfection. JM truly underrated fighter.
McCarthy?
I think he is making a joke because John McCarthy is the ref, and after Conor lands the 2nd hammer punch, John McCarthy knees Aldo in the face as he is pushing Conor off. I think thats whT actually woke Jose up to be honest

There’s a reason the ufc never gave Aldo a rematch, and then let Izzy, GSP and every other champ get one. Connor is the only double champ to never defend any of his belts. Connor has never defended a belt and only ever fought for money once the UFC helped make Connor a cash cow. Connor has the gift of gab, uses it wisely and got to Aldo emotions. The UFC hand picked fights for the guy until it was un avoidable in Khabib, Dustin and anyone else he now has to fight going forward. I don’t think we see him fight again.
Nailed it, similar story with O'Malley imo
I remember I had to work security that night at a hotel and ran into an Irishman on the elevator that told me Conor knocked him out in a matter of seconds. Never missed a McGregor fight after that!
Too many casuals forget that Conor was a gangster at featherweight. His career was amazing to watch at the time. I remember seeing him in Cage Warriors then in the UFC from Brimmage to Chad Mendes. Then the game changed after he KOed Mendes in the 2nd round. Followed by KOing Aldo and Alvarez. What he accomplished in a few years was crazy.

It was offered to him and he declined it. McGregor moved on to bigger and better things, like winning another belt and making over $100m in one night against Mayweather.
Even tho Aldo was the FW GOAT, I don't think anyone who gets starched in 13 seconds should get an immediate rematch.
@F A close fight warrants a rematch, sure. But there is no reason why a 5 round war and a 13 second KO should both warrant rematches. The UFC devolved into this immediate rematch shit the last few years and it isnt logical in any way.

It's one thing to be into the fights it's another to study flow of movement from the GOAT's but it always comes back to bruce lee for me. It's always what did he have that the current guys don't and alot of people foolishly say that he wasn't a good fighter he just was popular at that time but I think that thinking is half baked, bruce lee spoke of training your mind with your body so when you want to move its there manifest immediately and when you move youre determined to move, its something that current ufc fighters and boxers are missing entirely that isnt where you will find that kind of philosophy of fighting and training it's in the dojo where people are refining their abilities through both mind AND body.
He was on a planet of his own. Miss this McGregor, sad to see what he is today.
100%
It's the same Conor, is the problem.
@@hardnewstakenharder Nope. He was disciplined, only focusing on fighting.
@SOUL BYTHEPOUND Looool a way to rewrite history. Not like he destroyed Eddie Alvarez. He wasn't a particulary big FW, his frame was like Aldo, Max, Poirier you bum
Weight bully mcgregor amazing
I remember this like it was yesterday. I thought it was gonna go into the late rounds lol.
Here after Sean O’Malley won To see the similarities on the counter right hand
Absolute class... Even after the fight going back and asking Aldo if he's sound... Top man
OHHHHH HE SLEPT HIM “ 😂😂 so legendary, was so happy for Conor and so sad for Jose in this moment
I miss Prime Conor what a legend🔥
Never forget this fight. Stayed up the whole night with my uni mates in some shitty flat in rusholme. We were all so hyped for this fight and boom its over.
New MMA fans will never know how dangerous Featherweight McGregor was
I would have loved to see this play out. Conors speed in those 13 seconds was on another level that night.
Connor's legendary status is nailed down with this performance.
Who s here after Doumbe Zebo ?
Given the stakes and all, the magnitude of the fight, this may be the single best KO in UFC history
When you buy a $80 ticket but the match gets over in 13 seconds.
😂😂😂
And still worth it
