And since these lethal actions are dependent on the build-up stretch, his opponents and MMA enthusiasts tend to know what to expect from McGregor. However contrary to the supposed perception, in the last couple of fights McGregor hasn’t used the foul dialect and in-turn has shown utmost respect to his opponents to be.

His steep transition has shocked the analysts and fanatics worldwide and, many believe addition in family roles has propelled him to hide his vile side, which in-turn has impacted his in-ring performance.

Following his UFC 257 TKO loss to Dustin Poirier, a number of broadcasters and fighters have circled out that the new avatar of Conor McGregor is not intimidating, and for him to come back to winning ways he has to channelize his older self.
