Conor McGregor isn’t known for killing his opponents with kindness but that appears to be his strategy ahead of his showdown with Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone at UFC 246.
Known as one of the most prolific trash talkers in the history of combat sports, the former two-division champion has made mental warfare as much a part of his strategy as the left hand he fires like a cruise missile at his opponents.
This time around, however, McGregor has abandoned his typical verbal onslaught in favor of paying Cerrone a string of compliments. Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s expecting a different result on fight night.
