Colby was scared to start the second Usman fight. I think he knew Usman had gotten better (and he likely hadn't), and I don't think he believed he could win. Demeanor completely changed in the 3rd round.

Megan definitely looked like she didn't believe she had any chance against Nunes (which she didn't).

Whittaker fought terrified in the first Adesanya fight. Throwing looping lefts from distance as if he was terrified of getting countered. He looked legitimately scared.

To be fair, I can't stand Conor and not much of a fan of Max, but this, to me, qualifies for the thread. Maybe he's not scared, but he looks it.
 
Rewatching Cro Cop's Debut, was there ever a fighter more terrified to fight someone than Eddie Sanchez?

The list in my head that I can think of is,

1. Cro Cop vs Sanchez
2. Franklin vs Silva 2
3. Aldo vs Conor

What other fights do you guys remember of a fighter being visibly terrified before or during a fight?
Elias Theorodu guy vs Derek Brunson
