00:00and then obviously the connor fight anytime connor fights doesn't matter who he's fighting
00:04but the fact that he's coming back against max holloway is to me that's insane like he absolutely
00:09he could have came back against chandler chandler was the guy that the best matchup for him he
00:15should he's coming against that's yeah yeah yeah you know what's crazy though because you remember
00:20even like he wanted to fight diego sanchez if you remember like you know what i mean
00:25and like there was he basically was like oh or nate diaz so you know i mean i just want
00:29to sort
00:30of get into a brawl like you know give him a little bit of a layout back you're giving a
00:34fight that he
00:34can win but yeah you're right and i'll give i'll give credit to connor for that like honestly for
00:39doing it because it's not a good situation for him let's call it out for what it is yeah it
00:44doesn't
00:45feel like it is no and and on you know and he beat max earlier it's bothering max and the
00:51thing with
00:51me is i you know with connor uh tom i saw he said oh you know i feel great but
00:57you know we have a lot
00:58of plans in place for the fight and he goes you have to think about contingency plans he would never
01:03say that before he said you know what if my knee gives out or what if this happens or what
01:08it like
01:08they were all negative tom you know what i mean like yeah he was like they were all sort of
01:14negative
01:14scenarios he said you know if my body breaks down what do i have to do like to survive this
01:18or that
01:20but without being stated like i said you know i thought the number was a little bit high right
01:25i mean he is connor mcgregor still and his fight iq is that's to me what's always made him so
01:31good tom
01:31is he even said that i remember years ago and like when he was really like on a tear in
01:36his prime
01:38somebody asked him you know why are you so successful and he basically said because
01:42most mma trainers suck he said he goes they have terrible game plans they take terrible angles
01:49he goes if they were any smarter they would be better and i think he was kind of on to
01:53something
01:53actually like connor him and kavanaugh like who's it john kavanaugh like kavanaugh really is a smart
01:58guy tom i'm gonna give him credit for that yeah he is and you know kavanaugh he's had a good
02:04amount
02:04of fighters have that had some success um you know in the ufc and bellator all over the world
02:09kavanaugh is a really smart guy and connor is actually a really smart guy too like
02:13connor before the big money when you when you listen to him talk uh very very smart guy you
02:19know always had a game plan you know he got into you know he got into the drugs he got
02:24into all the
02:24crazy drinking and all that and the lifestyle but deep down connor is actually a you know a smart
02:30fighter and he is very skilled he's got great great technique on the feet his wrestling's underrated
02:36because guys against guys like khabib he can't really grapple but his grappling game is underrated
02:41so he is a he is a well-rounded mixed martial artist at heart he really is it was and
02:46you know
02:46what he's he seems like and once again like we talked about getting smarter with age you know we
02:51still get to do something crazy before his life is over but like he seems to got out of his
02:56system a
02:56little bit like you know i mean he's not in the bar every night punching old men in the face
03:00like
03:01he's chilled out right like you can tell he's matured
