Conor McGregor Is a Deadly Standup Fighter

Conor McGregor is a deadly combination of a one punch KO artist and and an extremely technical mixed martial artist. He possesses an impressively big arsenal of scintillating kicks and a combination of punches. When blended with his insane reach of 74 inches and a devastating left hand, it makes him one of the most feared fighters. He starts a round with quickly taking the central position which makes it difficult for his opponents to press him against the octagon. Plus, he’s way too quick while closing distances.

During their first fight, Poirier was struggling since the beginning to defend himself against Conor’s powerful spinning hook kicks. Then suddenly, he got struck with a left hook that ended the bout. So, he needs to maintain a safe distance from the Notorious at all times because if he manages to  close the distance and land the left hand, then it’s going to be a long kiss goodnight.

Dustin Poirier Needs To Rely On His Ground Game To Dominate McGregor

The most effective to dominate a striker is to take him down. Jon Jones and Khabib Nurmagomedov have ruled over their divisions by virtue of their insanely skilled ground game.

Poirier can increase pressure on McGregor by taking him down repeatedly to gas him out. He can follow this up with submission moves. In short, Poirier should watch out for McGregor’s attempts to close the distance. Moreover, he’s got to be ready to score takedowns and a good ground fight.
