10 Best UFC trash talkers of all time

#2 Conor McGregor

UFC 229: Khabib v McGregor Press Conference

Without a doubt the biggest superstar in combat sports history, the most recognizable fighter in the world, the Notorious Conor McGregor is ranked at #2 on our all-time best trash talkers list.

Conor McGregor has transcended the game into new heights with his performances in the octagon and more so with his verbal warfare and epic promotion of fights. When Conor is fighting an opponent the war begins right at the time the fight is announced. Conor is very intelligent with his trash talking game and delivers cerebral insults and almost always finds a way to get into his opponent's head. Much like his fighting, McGregor's trash talk game is very strategically executed. He puts meticulous effort in doing research on his opponents and finds out the exact points which will flip his opponent's switches.

What's really special about Conor McGregor and what separates him from other fighters is the amount of hype he creates in each fight. Never in the history have we seen the type of excitement and anticipation for a fight, the way a Conor McGregor fight brings about. There are countless memorable Conor quotes be it the 'red panty night' quote that he immortalised of the sheer destruction of Jeremy Stephens with one line saying "Who the **** is that guy?!"

Conor is witty, funny and intense at the same time. He will flash his money, his big cars, his tailor-made suits, his whiskey and carry a larger than life aura which has never been seen before and unleash a relentless assault of verbal and mental warfare on his opponents. He will predict fights and then deliver. 'Mystic Mac' is truly special and one of the best, if not the best of all time.
