Joe Rogan reflects on how prime Conor McGregor's mind games shook opponents

Conor McGregor was not just a highly skilled MMA fighter, he also had an ability to mess with his opponents' minds.

While speaking with Dustin Poirier, Joe Rogan talked about how McGregor's mental warfare had a huge impact on one of his most famous fights: UFC 194 against Jose Aldo. Rogan said:

"He tortured Jose Aldo for months... They did that crazy press conference where they toured all over the world. He stole his belt... And by the time they got into the cage, Jose Aldo was afraid... Compared to what I had seen from Aldo in the past, he seemed much more nervous, much more aware of the magnitude of the moment. And Conor seemed so relaxed."

Check out Joe Rogan's comments below (1:58):

For the unversed, McGregor knocked out Aldo in just 13 seconds of the first round. That punch ended Aldo’s long run as the featherweight champion and became one of the most iconic knockouts in UFC history.
