We know that McGregor is a little master of mind games.
Not only when hes about to fight but also outside the ring
he likes to play mind games. For his mind games he doesnt
need to talk everytime. On Ferguson for example he just doesnt
respond or he makes a ambiguous, unclear message.
Without responding to Tony Ferguson he tries to let Ferguson
overextend on him and let him go in to the empty.
But his mind games not only belongs to fighters, also his
political games in the UFC and the division. He knows that
he is the money gatekeeper and plays it out.
Thats very impressive what he is able to do for a 29 years young man.
Porier on McGregor:
“I always saw it as a plus but the Conor [McGregor] fight was the turning point.
I remember I was backstage getting ready to walk out and I saw him and he
threw this smile and pointed at me. I don’t know why but it really got to me, man.
It really messed with my head. I mean I’m about to go out and fight this dude and
he’s back there smiling at me? After that fight I knew I had to find a different way
to use my emotion.”
He also got Alvarez with his mind games.
On this picture u can see finally how Conor got in Alvarez emotion.
While McGregor was "funny" in the press conferences and Alvarez serious
(you have to apologize)... at the face off`s the opposite happenend...
Alvarez tried to be funny and McGregor totally serious. Conor got him very deep.
Alvarez could not mentally handle the fame, the crowd and prestigious
self-presentation from Conor because Alvarez wanted to be that to,
so he was open for this type of mind games.
Another guy he got very deep was Aldo, he destroyed Aldo psychologically,
while Alvarez was able to mentally recover.
But that game doesnt work somehow at Khabib at all. It is like Khabib gets a mind
game for Conor himself. That guy is just to ice cold and rooted in the soil.
That begins with that he doesnt care about the ideals of McGregor - celebrity and money,
so Conor cannot get him from there like he got most other of his opponents.
Another guy where his mind games doesnt worked at all was Mayweather and
and it worked barely on Nate Diaz. I mean Nate Diaz doesnt want to fight anymore,
he only wants to fight Conor. Conor affected Nate Diaz in this way.
