Who's the most confident fighter you've seen?

i thought that too until he fought Mendes. at the end of rd 1, you could see it in his face, he knew even if he beats Mendes, that what Chad was doing to him was not a good look.

then when he fought Nate the first time, you could see after landing all those bombs on Nate, that he had a look on his face like, "fuck me, i fucked up"

Lol he talked shit and laughed at Chad the entire time wtf??
 
Fookin McGregor, except when he was running from Diaz.

GSP was a goat-level fighter, but he always seemed to fight out of a fear losing, he never had that "I am god" swagger. BJ had it, I thought he could take anybody who was even close to his weight in his prime. It's a major reason why he has his reputation.

Fedor would go anywhere with anyone until he got old and it got him tapped/KO'd.

If you count delusion as confidence, there are quite a few people who we know would fit too.
When TJ was going to fight Barao in the first fight, he was so confident it was scary. He was so confident he shadow boxed in the plane, on the luggage conyeyor and was so loose in the fight.

When he faced Barao the 2nd time,he was next level confident.

yeah, because he was trying to play mind games, the same way when someone gets punched they smile. just because he smiled doesn't mean shit, you still got punched in the face and did nothing.

just like Conor, you can talk and smile and laugh all you want, but laughing and smiling doesn't when you points. if he was confident, he'd have looked the way he looked vs Alvarez, vs Eddie Conor was supremely confident. vs Mendes, not so much.

did you watch the fight? Chad pretty much did whatever he wanted to Conor on the ground until he gassed, and most of the fight was on the ground. Conor lost the entire 2nd rd until the last 40 secs when Mendes went for an ill-adivsed guillotine. without Mendes going for the guillotine, who knows what would've happened in the 3rd rd.
 
how is this even up for debate? It’s Conor hands down.

Chad would’ve been finished in the third then. Either way he would’ve been exhausted and lost.
 
Another Conor nuthugger thread, what a surprise.
 
Lando ain’t scared of a damn thing

McGregor

Nick Diaz

Wanderlei
Nick Diaz is a good one. Suffers from social anxiety and acts like it too. But in a fight.. he's damn confident! (or he's just so stoned he doesn't know where he is)

So Chad would have won if only he didn't get knocked out via resting balls on forehead?

Dude loves to trade fists. Nick really believes his chin will carry him through anything.
 
Robbie lawler never gave a fuck
 
Conor, Jones, Andy, Till, Khabib, Stipe, Kelvin
 
Prime Sanchez and Lawler got a few decisions each just based off body language imo. I don't know why more people don't start smacking themselves in the head when they get hit clean seems to negate the fact that they just got hit for the judges.
This is a very good point. It's one thing to be confident but it's another to be so much so that you sway the judges.

Probably having been a Star D1 football player, he has it
