Alpha males don't always dominate and rule through ability, but through intimidation. It's their mere presence and the fear they invoke onto others that allow them to rule and dominate their social setting.
Here is Khabib after Trujillo refused to shake his hand backstage because Khabib missed weight:
Here is Khabib after Conor insulted his family and friends, his country, his religion, etc:
Sure Khabib absolutely butchered Conor and would likely do the same in a rematch, but it takes a certain type of Alpha male to courageously speak his mind while remaining completely undaunted. No quiver in their voice.
Conor is the most alpha fighter in the UFC. He's really only called out because he's a money fight. Otherwise, no fighter would want any part of the verbal abuse and mental warfare leading up to the fight, followed by a trip to the hospital from that piston left hand after the fight. Throughout his pre-fight media obligations, you will notice his opponents sitting there with blue lips unable to mustur enough strength to defend themselves verbally.
if you cant see the fact that conor deliberately acts alpha in everyway possible to fool lesser minds then i feel bad for you. Hes had frickin sausages in his pants multiple times dude. He's a very little man on the inside.
