A recent video of Conor McGregor attempting to demonstrate his punching power has taken the internet by storm. The video, titled "Hardes Punch?" on Reddit, showcases the MMA fighter using a machine designed to measure punch strength. However, the results were far from impressive and have sparked a wave of reactions online.

One user humorously remarked, "Accurate representation of how his sucker punch with the old guy went." This comment references an infamous incident involving McGregor and an elderly man in a pub. Another user commented, "Watched on mute and he still looks like a d bag," highlighting McGregor's divisive persona.

The video even drew comparisons to McGregor's past fights. "Now you realize how weak Aldo's chin was!" one commenter noted, referring to McGregor's knockout victory over José Aldo. Another user quipped, "So that’s how he trained for the first Diaz fight!" pointing out McGregor's loss to Nate Diaz.

The criticisms didn't stop at his punching skills. "No wonder he never defended either of his titles," one user wrote, suggesting McGregor's lack of title defenses was due to more than just his lifestyle choices. "Here I always thought it was because he was drinking too much, too tired from running his mouth, or too busy finding women to sexually assault. Now I know better," the comment continued, touching on serious allegations against the fighter.

The video also led to some creative analogies. "When you playing a bard in BG3 spend 30 mins saying that you can defeat any opponent in one punch only to roll a critical failure on a strength roll," one user joked, comparing McGregor's performance to a failed dice roll in a role-playing game. Another user added, "Cocaine makes you miss," alluding to rumors about McGregor's drug use.

Despite the humor, some comments raised concerns about the safety and design of the machine. "Is it just me or is building a machine like that, making you punch towards the screen, like a really bad idea?" one user questioned. "Surely there'll be people who punch through and land on the screen?"

Others took note of McGregor's unique mannerisms. "I can't get over that Popeye walk he does. Absolutely a cartoon," one user observed, while another pointed out, "You can actually see the roid rage shooting fireworks out his ears."

The video ends with a mention of the voice-over, which many found amusing. "The voice over is amusing. Should watch with sound on," one commenter advised, suggesting that the audio added another layer of humor to the already entertaining clip.

In summary, the video of Conor McGregor's punching machine fail has provided both laughs and controversy. It has reminded fans and critics alike of the fighter's polarizing nature and has sparked a lively discussion about his skills and persona.

Is it just me or is building a machine like that, making you punch \*towards\* the screen, like a really bad idea? Surely there'll be people who punch through and land on the screen?
