Dustin had success with leg kicks against Conor in their first fight

[Jean-MMA]

I dont get why fighter dont use a leg kick game plan against Conor.
He fought 12 times in the UFC and only Poirier ,and Alvarez in the first minute ,threw leg kicks.

I mean its the perfect strategie to nulify his karate wide stance and slow his moovment

If Poirier can stick to his gameplan without ducking his head like a rookie(thats why conor read it and land in the soft area behind the ear) he can do it.

Worked for Aldo

He will kick Conor and still get TKOd within 2.

 

[Dabrakadabra]

Gee, I wonder why. Totally not his left straight fosho.

He lost the fight.

Only move gayer than leg kicks influencing a fight between men is foot stomps.

He landed a couple, but nothing that actually affected Conor nor seemed like it would accumulate significantly over five rounds. Poirier actually looked good against Conor until all of a sudden he didn't, but I didn't see his leg-kicks being succesfull.

 

[Fesaine]

Based on poirier training video it seems like he's not focusing on attacking McGregor legs at all this time.

But yes attacking Conor lead leg is a great strategy because of how long his stance is. And with calf kicks, which travel less distance than the traditional thigh kick, it's going to be extremely hard for Conor to counter it with his left hand.

He got KO'd inside two minutes... I don't think you can call that a winning strategy.

@Brettco

[Leinster Rugby]

Conor had succes with knock outs in their first fight though

 

[NotDana]

No he didn’t the fight didn’t even last 2 mins. They obviously did no damage to Conor.

conor had success boxing his head off the canvas

Pretty obvious why people don’t, they don’t want to get countered by his straight left

 

[tripleo]

Mcgregor's movement is so smooth, no extra moves, every kick and punch has clear intention behind it

those spin kicks are beautiful, wish this fight was longer, it was beautiful to watch, Dustin was completely outmatched

Dustin has evolved a lot. Moving to 155 now he’s big for the division and his boxing has improved significantly. He handed my man Max a loss (even though max didn’t try at all to make a true transition up a weight class).

I don’t see the point in looking back to their first fight at this point.

 

[Slatersan]

I hope it looks like dustin vs max
