The "Good Guy/Bad Guy" tactic is a negotiation strategy often used in various situations, including sales, conflict resolution, and sometimes even in personal relationships. Understanding this concept can help individuals recognize and respond effectively to such strategies when they encounter them. https://spousemag.com/signs-guys-are-intimidated-by-you/

McGregor is an ass for saying DC is "drunk" but DC literally defended himself by saying Conor broke his "arm" instead of his "leg" multiple times 😂😂😂

How can you be the p4p king when you've never even humoured the idea of fighting out of 155. It's very likely he'd go up to 170 and absolutely annihilate the entire division but that he won't even attempt a fight at welter even against a warm up opponent is boring and probably frustrating for his fans.

6' 4" 230+ lbs JON JONES isnt afraid of a single human on earth. Plus we all know what a reyes rematch would have looked like. ;) This guy is only argued as the goat bc of his outside the cage antics. Take away those and we all know the answer.
