How Good is Conor McGregor?

#2 Mental warfare

Mental warfare is said to have played a huge role in Aldo getting annihilated by McGregor

Conor McGregor is a master manipulator, when it comes to controlling his opponent's mental state. In fact, McGregor's uncanny skill of playing with his foe's mind, is credited by many to the man's unmatched control over his own mind!

Much like the old adage goes--"Control yourself, before you can control your enemy"--McGregor has mastered the art of entering the "flow state". The UFC star can expertly switch back-and-forth between his motormouth promotional persona and his zen-like combat avatar.

Several past McGregor opponents such as Dustin Poirier and Eddie Alvarez have confessed in the aftermath of their fights with the former, that they'd deviated to an abhorrent degree from their respective game-plans, probably because they found themselves being angered to no end by The Notorious One.
