Early this Sunday morning, one of the most anticipated battles of the year took place in the UFC cage in Lithuanian time, when the former Irish champion of two different weight classes met for the third time in history. You will meet McGregoras and former U.S. interim champion Dustinas Poirier. Just 8 seconds before the end of the round, McGregor withdrew from Poirier and tried to avoid a blow, stabbing a broken leg and the Irishman was no longer able to continue the fight, and the referee declared Poirier’s victory a technical knockout.
“Conor probably broke his leg when he kicked me and I tried to avoid his attack. Even then, I felt like something was wrong. Later, he broke his leg, “Poirier said immediately after the fight.
It soon began to be seen that D. Poirier had the episode in mind as early as the 20th second of the fight. C. McGregor took the kick and D. Poirier responded. The American raised his leg a little and the full force of C. McGregor’s kick went to the American road.
The video shows that it was after this kick that Poirier showed the Irishman some gesture, which may have meant that the American felt something. The Irishman himself did not give up and kept fighting. It is true that he spent much of the rest of the round on the ground floor on his back, barely standing up and breaking his leg.
What Poirier was talking about: 20 seconds into the fight, he partially stops McGregor’s kick, but it was to the knee, and Dustin points it out. # UFC264 pic.twitter.com/rE4I0BrvmL
