So what happened to Conor's "mental warefare"?

[Mysterio]

LOL @ Conor being quiet because he's "scared" of losing to Khabib.
He trash talked Floyd before a fight that he knew deep down he had a 1% chance of winning.
He is far more confident of a victory over Khabib than Floyd ffs lol. He's quiet because he's now filthy rich and doesn't need to say anything. This fight is all about settling a score.

Don't get it twisted, Floyd was a small, old, volume puncher with no power. Conor thought he'd starch him but there was no real downfall for him to lose in another sport to all time great.

Khabib is a young monster in his own sport who wants to disfigure Conor and turn him into a stain on the canvas for 25 minutes. He can destroy Conor's reputation.

1.When Conor got exposed by Nate,fighters seen he's not as tough as they thought. Mental warfare wrks better when u look unbeatable!

 

[strongstylekarate]

Khabib will take Conor to Ground and Pound City, and Conor knows it and can't do anything about it.

Or maybe he’s tired of promoting fights the way he always does. He takes it to a different level, all the shit he does to hype a fight. You’d be sick of doing all that shit, wouldn’t you? All of us would. Why should he do all the work again anyway? That’s exactly what they all want. Let Conor do all the work while we sit back and he makes us rich or richer. What do you think he’s going to Do? Call a press conference together himself?

Lol. Dana/UFC haven’t even put together a single press conference yet, the hype hasn’t even started and you’re here talking shit. Khabib likes to talk, too. So where’s his mental warfare? That tough, grew up and took part in gun battles, wrestled bears, invincible dagestani fuck! Where’s he? Right, waiting for Conor to tell him when it’s time for him to speak.

 

[Blazmo]

Jesus Christ the fight's not for another month and a bit. Give it some time before you start calling out Conor for lack of activity in the trash-talking department.

 

[That209]

He's having mental warfare with the UFC - khabib seems like passing thought.

UFC wants him to promote, conor says he wants to train.

conor knows he is the money man, ufc wants him to promote to make more money, conor seems happy with his pay and not do more.

He’s having mental warfare with TS, too. Look how Conor literally lives in his mind. All day. Every single day. Sad!

 

[bigconan]

He likes making money....lol

I also think Conor is going to win, though this fight is razor close.

I think conor can win...people are really sleeping on conor this fight...and he tends to love that...he performs better when he's challenging for something..

 

[bigconan]

No, it doesn’t work like that. Some dudes can cut more weight and reach their class.

Take a look at Tito Ortiz, he’d come in at 235 lbs ripped. Shogun meanwhile would be coming in fight night 210 lbs chubby.

GSP was a medium sized WW at the beginning of his career - at the end of his WW run he was fighting dudes who had 10 or more lbs on him.

but that's how the game works...as long as you can make weight, then that's your weight and size...guys like anthony johnson, kept missing weight..so obviously, he had to move up in weight...cause he was fighting where he shouldn't be...romero can't seem to make weight anymore...conor never missed weight...ever...so he's just playing the game that all fighters play.

"One of the reasons you haven’t seen much in the way of interviews and such is that McGregor has not agreed to do anything.
There are no press conferences scheduled because McGregor at this point hasn’t agreed to them.
There is a lot of frustration within the UFC about McGregor’s attitude, but in the end, he’s got the leverage and the ticket sales and secondary market results only give him more leverage.
The feeling is that this may be the biggest non-boxing PPV of all-time, and the only reason it wouldn’t be is that McGregor hasn’t been pushing it hard. McGregor was able to get a larger piece of the action for this fight than any of his UFC fights to date, so there is a direct correlation more than ever between his work in promoting the fight and his pocket book, but this may also show that he knows he’s in a real fight and doesn’t want to break training".

His fans say this is so important but obviously his mouth doesn't want to write checks his ass can't cash this time out.

"Fighters break under the spotlight with me", yet all we have seen from him against Khabib is a couple crappy tweets.

Is his heart not in this anymore? Does he know what he's in for?

"As far as I’m concerned, I just speak the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts. It hurts because they have a weakness — and I exploit weakness. A fight is mental, not just physical and psychological warfare is absolutely part of that"

- pre-Khabib Conor McGregor

Well there has been no press conference yet. Also its the pressure from his fans and haters. Fighters crack.

 

[soulsstealer]

He's cutting his own paycheck by doing this.

Conor already did the trolley event.

 

[Mysterio]

Conor already did the trolley event.

So he's willing to fly across continents, face potential jailtime and heavy fines to promote an event but he can't do a conference?

That doesn't add up.

He was protecting Artem's honor and got goaded into a fight where he's going to get destroyed.

 

[Emjay]

lol ... TS is still at this

 

[Babaganoosh]

Mental warfare is usually a non issue, it’s mostly for the fans. If some fans buy into it, good for them. It might work on some easily rattled fighters, but mostly Conor has won by his skill and toughness alone. That’s what he will bring vs Khabib, no need to waste energy before the ultimate showdown.

I think his success comes from fighting smaller guys. If he loses this fight what does he do next? He won’t get the belt and I don’t think he can make 145. Dangerous fight all the way round for Conor.

 

[3nigma]

Conor will talk plenty at the conference.

 

[Mysterio]

Conor will talk plenty at the conference.

UFC still has been unable to get Conor to commit to a conference date or agree to a conference period. That's the problem.

 

[McBlaze]

hey smart guy , all these mental warfares usually happen at a press conference right... has there been one ? man use yo brain

I just added this to the OP

Your source is basically a tabloid and that quote is made up. Conor will agree to do more conferences as we approach the date of the fight.

 

[Shamrocker]

Do you really have nothing better to do with your life than make 10 threads about Conor every day?

I think you can answer that yourself m8.
