He's already started the mental games by publicly declaring that he'll finish Dustin in 60 seconds.It really does seem like he's not interested in using the mental war aspect anymore, either consciously or subconsciously maybe he wants it to be known he can beat his opponents without the mental war pre fight.
Nah, when he gets asked how's the fight gonna end McGregor is ultra confident in himself. Half the UFC roster predicts a first round knockout that's hardly at all mind games.He's already started the mental games by publicly declaring that he'll finish Dustin in 60 seconds.
It's just one extra thing for him and his team to think about before the fight.
You can't ignore a statement like that when the guy your fighting has a 90% finish rate in his MMA record.
the mental games won't work as well when he doesn't have 5,000 people in a press conference hanging off his words and booing the opposing guyNah, when he gets asked how's the fight gonna end McGregor is ultra confident in himself.

100% but he wasn't even throwing barbs in that interview to Poirier. Said they were father's, warriors and both charity men and even repeated the line about blood being spilt but not bad blood. It's as respectful as someone can be who they are about to fight.the mental games won't work as well when he doesn't have 5,000 people in a press conference hanging off his words and booing the opposing guy
He comes across as someone who thrives in the electric environment of a big crowd. Be interesting to see how he goes without that atmosphere
Yah I get what you are saying100% but he wasn't even throwing barbs in that interview to Poirier. Said they were father's, warriors and both charity men and even repeated the line about blood being spilt but not bad blood. It's as respectful as someone can be who they are about to fight.
He did have the press conference for cowboy and nothing bad was said, I think he's genuinely moved on from wanting to be known for that and now wants the respect as a fighter back.
100%i mean REALLY believe you are the best in the world youre kind of beaten in the mind before you get in the cage.
Probably correctly, hes not guilty yet.Theyve done well to keep these cases quiet. No one seems to be covering one of the biggest sports stars in the world alledged sexual assaults. Mental, De Goey gets more coverage...
