Conor McGregor Describes How He Could’ve KO’d The Referee At UFC 194
And we thought there were only two men in the octagon fighting at UFC 194. Conor McGregor explains in great detail how he could have ‘immobilized’ John McCarthy…
Newly anointed UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor changed the game at UFC 194. He was sworn in to the position with a thunderous first round knockout against Jose Aldo, ending the Brazilian’s 10-year reign as the best 145-pounder on the planet. The shocking finish came just 13 seconds in to round one, as McGregor capitalized on an early opening with a picture perfect left hand.
In case you missed it.
It happened exactly how McGregor had predicted so many times, in the first exchange and by knockout. ‘The Notorious’ has a unique approach to the fight game, claiming he never trains specifically for one opponent, opting to use movement coach Ido Portal and employing a Jeet Kune Do based approach to every fight.
If you’ve ever heard McGregor analyse a fight before, you’ll understand the depth of his knowledge about fighting.
For instance, the following footage of McGregor playing out his entire fight with Aldo before it happened:
So it seems the new kid in town is a serious threat to everyone at featherweight, and potentially lightweight too. With his coach recently confirming McGregor will fight for the lightweight title next, we could have a two-weight UFC champion on our hands. But apparently it’s not only his opponents who might be under threat.

Most will see 1 unconscious man here.
I see a clean get up about to happen in a fight against multiple attackers.
Hips away, strong frame with the left hand, right hand post on the mat with bottom leg free for a clean get up.
If Big John was a second attacker, he is in trouble. I am a split second away from being back to my feet here.
With his outstretched, forward reaching pressure, and his torso separated from his hips, Big John is ending up face down after the get up.
Two or three quick cracks to his temple and I make my escape clean.
Two attackers immobilized.
What’s up Las Vegas.
~Conor McGregor~
Certainly an interesting take on this eerie snapshot from that notorious night in Las Vegas. Is he showing his forward thinking, or is McGregor just blowing his horn a little too hard?
For all the media attention over the last year, we fans still haven’t quite got a grip on which version of Conor McGregor is real. The truth often lies somewhere between the lines.
