To give an example, in professional wrestling, the master of in-ring psychology was Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Everything he did inside the ring, whether it be a wrestling move, a facial expression, a hand gesture, that bag with Damien the Snake, all of it had a purpose, and that purpose was to grab the attention of the millions watching inside the arenas, and at home from their televisions! Every single little detail was meant to play the audience like a fiddle, and nobody could play that symphony better than him!
Who in MMA gives you that same vibe? That vibe that every punch, kick, elbow, knee, submission, feint, stance, footwork, facial expression, gestures, etc. is meant to get inside the minds of everyone watching, including the other person standing across the cage!

Anderson Silva
Conor McGregor in his last 4 fights seems to be going that way.
Michael Page
Nick Diaz

Fedor was at one point but in a diff way.Zero emotion which helped build his aura.. I thought it was crazy when I first saw him fight.
I agree with many above too.

So as opposed to being the charismatic showman, he was the silent killer. I like it. I actually wondered how long it would be before Fedor popped up in here for that reason.

Fedor and Anderson had alot of people defeated, even before the fight started.

maybe chris weidmen, because i did not see the real anderson silva in both fights, i think he kind of punked him because weidmen showed no fear and silva didnt know how to react to a fighter with chrises belief so he psychologically chris beat the master

That fight was fixed. Besides OSP is about as close to GSP as you will get. No shame in losing

The Diaz brothers with their mean mugging, that s--- was always scary. Now, their protege Rhonda Rousey.

You can't be taken seriously as a fan if you don't mention Bruce Buffer.
