Conor McGregor's opponents were already losing the mental battle, and at time "s****ing their pants" when they would fight in his early UFC days.
That's according to legendary former middleweight champion Michael Bisping. The Brit was ranking the five most fearsome fighters in UFC history, placing McGregor at No.5 in a list that also featured Shane Carwin, Ronda Rousey, Anthony Johnson and MIrko Cro Cop, when he noted that the Irishman had a particular brand of mental warfare.
McGregor ran through the competition on his road to UFC gold, dethroning featherweight legend Jose Aldo within just seven fights in the promotion. And even after losing to Nate Diaz and winning a tight decision in their rematch the same year, he maintained his aura of invincibility for his lightweight title win against Eddie Alvarez a year later.
