mcgregor vs alvarez: UFC 205: Mcgregor vs alvarez Live stream

Conor McGregor has made it a habit to get inside his opponent's heads. Or at least he had up until he

ran into Nate Diaz. After a pair of bouts against the younger Diaz brother in which McGregor's outside

the cage attitude was met head on and largely seemed to play no part of the in cage dynamic, is it worth

wondering whether McGregor has lost some of the knack for pre-fight mind games?

Maybe that's an overstatement, but lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez is making it as clear as possible

that Conor McGregor isn't getting in his head. Speaking to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, Alvarez

talked about his recent staredown with the featherweight champion:

"Usually when square off with a man, my heart rate goes up, I feel something," Alvarez said on

Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "I never felt so unthreatened by a human being as when I was up

on a stage with him. That's the God's honest truth. I've never felt so unthreatened."

You can check out the full interview with Alvarez below:

Alvarez and McGregor will meet in the main event of UFC 205 in a superfight pitting the lightweight

champion against the featherweight title holder. The card is also expected to see title fights between

welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and challenger Stephen Thompson, along with a strawweight

title defense for Joanna Jedrzejczyk against Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
