Conor McGregor’s upcoming opponent Eddie Alvarez thinks he’s getting inside the Dubliner’s head.

This guy is so offensive-minded and never on the defensive that whenever you put him on the defence he gets so flustered and so upset. At a certain point in our conference call, he started to get desperate. He started talking about my wife and kids and things like that. For me, it’s a sign of desperation.You don’t talk about another man’s family unless you’re through the roof pissed off.”
