Thanks for your interesting few on that topic. And it is also nice to find another MMA-fan here on Steemit.

I think you are right, that the trash talking previous to the Khabib-fight went way to far. But I also think, that it is overseen, that McGregor admitted publicly, that he has had personal problems and made a lot of mistakes in the past (punching that man, destroying the fans phone, etc.) and that he has had problems keeping his focus on training.

He is a big mouth. He knows that this will get him good fights. But I think that he is also intelligent enough to know, that trash talk previous to fights gets boring, when you cant deliver in the fight. So he is quite moderate these days. Even if he wanted to, he could not quit trash talking enterly - it is part of the brand "Conor McGregor".

And one also has to admit, that some of his performances in and out of the cage are quite legendary.
