“My kicks are not lacking in strength and Conor excels in a wide stance, so with the coach we thought it would be difficult for him to defend himself from the kicks. I started kicking Conoro’s defense because he wasn’t defending perfectly. He didn’t turn a leg and I hit him where he needed to be. I know from experience what calf kicks mean. Jim Miller attacked and injured me in a similar way in our fight. The swelling in your calf has nowhere to spread, so you can feel a lot of pain quickly, “Poirier said.
Coach @mikebrownmma had a perfectly simple answer as to why he thought calf kicks would be the key to @DustinPoirier against Conor McGregor in # UFC257 😅

After the fight, C. McGregor noted that he had never encountered such kicks during his career: “Those calf kicks … I’ve never experienced them before, that kick is very good. He seemed to be defending himself from their attacks, but those kicks were still going through his muscles. He quickly injured his leg and I couldn’t adapt to the changing fighting conditions. Congratulations to Dustin on his well deserved victory. “
