Mark Bowden of TRUTHPLANE is back to discuss the body language of another MMA star; this time it’s The Notorious Conor McGregor.

Bowden usually works with politicians and CEOs, but he had a lot of fun looking at the micro-movements of fighters. We’ve already released his take on Ronda Rousey (which included a spot on prediction for her losing to Holly Holm). This time we cover many of the major moments in McGregor’s career, from fighting Dennis Siver to boxing Floyd Mayweather.

Check out all Bowden had to say in the video above. Like with Rousey, Bowden was able to sense which way McGregor’s career was heading. Also, if you’ve not seen the Rousey video, you can watch that below:

You can see more of Bowden on his official site TRUTHPLANE.com, his YouTube channel or on twitter.

We have a few more of these coming soon. Those include analyses of Jon Jones, the Diaz brothers, and then something we are keeping secret (for now).

If you enjoy this video please give it a thumbs up. Also, please subscribe to MMANation on YouTube.

Additional footage in this video comes courtesy of our friends at Submission Radio and MMA Fighting, give them both a follow on YouTube, too!

Let us know what you think of the video below and what other fighters you think have fascinating body language.
