Miyamoto Musashi is considered the greatest samurai of all time. He is a legend who is said to have defeated and killed hundreds of challengers. If you read his book "The Book of Five Rings" you will learn a lot and I highly recommend it to all of you.
Miyamoto was notorious (no pun intended) for fucking with his opponents before the fights. He would intentionally show up late or use other forms of disrespect to mess with his opponents heads and then would win the matches.
I also found this video from a pretty intelligent and well-spoken YouTuber named Mindsmash talking about this:
Some other fighters employ similar tactics as well, but what Conor did to Jose was right out of Miyamoto's playbook and I have a feeling Conor has read/studied "The Book of Five Rings."
I do think the bus smashing was classless and too far though because other fighters got hurt. That was a bullshit move and he probably realizes this (hopefully).
Anyways, this is more about mental warfare than it is about Conor. Any other examples of beautiful mental games before the fight were the troll did in fact win the fight dominantly?
Cowboy vs Nate comes to mind. Nate punk'd Cerrone before and during that fight.
Here's another good one. Thanks @Jackonfire
