4. Conor McGregor

Current UFC Lightweight champion Conor McGregor is an obvious choice for a list like this. With a fight record of 21-3, he’s one of the most dominant forces in the world of mixed martial arts today. The Irish fighter holds the record for the fastest UFC title fight, winning the Featherweight Championship in a matter of seconds. He was still the Featherweight Champion when he won the Lightweight Championship, making him the UFC’s first time two title holder.

McGregor claims he doesn’t do any kind of pre-fight rituals, as he considers it to be a form of fear. McGregor refuses to be afraid of anything or anyone, and that mindset has gotten him to where he is today. He has established himself as not only one of the greatest fighters in the world, but the record setting top pay per view draw in all of MMA.

While McGregor is an extremely dangerous striker, he’s just as well known for his trash talking. By using this kind of “psychological warfare” against his opponents, it seems to give him an edge. We’ve seen how people like Negan can take control just by knowing how to talk to people in a terrifying way. That would be something McGregor could do just as easily in a zombie apocalypse.
