McGregor is among the best trash talkers in the history of combat sports. He believes in mentally beating his opponent with his talking before the actual fight. This makes his opponents nervous which leads them to make mistakes inside the octagon.

Conor McGregor feeds of these mistakes and makes them pay by knocking them out. Many experts believe the Irishman lost the rematch at UFC 257 because of the lack of intent. Now, ‘The Pride of Ireland’, who doesn’t intend to make the same mistake, will hope for a victory at UFC 264.

Unlike many other fighters, Conor McGregor loves to fight under pressure with a chip on his shoulders. Many people don’t handle the pressure well, but ‘The Notorious’ shines the brightest in these situations. McGregor is a showman, therefore he likes to stand under the spotlight.
