Conor is a good striker,i dont think anyone will argue with that but by far the biggest part of his game is pissing off his opponents ,
Dustin was like a rabbit in the headlights,Aldo also fell right into the trap,
I dont think he got to Eddie but its possible as he sure folded easily.although his striking was on point.
It didnt work on Diaz and he lost one and won a close second,
He said in his interview after the Floyd fight that he was surprised just how composed Floyd was during the fight,
So it didnt work on him either.and he lost by a mile.
Could it work on Khabib,Well i dont know but i do also wonder about Tony,He does seem a little emotional.
Dont get me wrong ,its a skill in itself,
Ali was good at mind games,
Prince Naseem another that comes to mind.
That and absolute confidence is always going to be kyriptonite against certain fighters.
Without it Conor would not have done half the things he has achieved.
