At UFC 208, Dustin Poirier would face Jim Miller in a Lightweight bout that would give him an experience that he would never forget. Poirier says Miller’s kicks to the calf was something that he didn’t expect and was some of the most painful strikes he’d experience in his career. When fighting Conor McGregor for a second time four years later, he would use that same kick to help him win. And McGregor would later admit that it was a move that surprised him as well. #dustinpoirier #conormcgregor #shorts #ufc

Checking is just as good as blocking. Better than an open hit, but not nearly as effective as avoidance.
Jim Miller is a bad boyyy
Give Jim Miller a honorary title shot for UFC 300
Jim and Dan are legends they deserve recognition. Same kinda guys as Donald Cerrone

One thing I love to see is that UFC fighters when they lose they are respectful in their loss. These youtube boxers when they lose they throw a fucking fit and try for appeals that’s real fighters vs fake fighters.
If Jim Miller can cause pain like that, I wonder what its like to get calf kicked by guys like Pereira or Blachowicz
“There was no check! Not one of those I checked!”
Talk about learning from your mistakes. Btw, what year was it when Conor last won a fightm😅
"There was no check" – Conor
"Yes, there was" – His snapped leg
They won't last against One's muay thai mma fighter
i think leg kick is the most underrated weapon….
Conor's greatest asset is his footwork and Dustin took it away.
I’m not fighter, but I played soccer for many years, so I understand this pain. I’ve been involved in two collisions that resulted in a broken leg. Luckily, not mine 😂
lift your leg up like a muay Thai block
McGregor is a whiny bitz
"You effed my leg you bastard"
I really hate those calf kicks. I get that it’s a good way to inflict easy damage and get points in the round but it seems like a cheap way to win. I miss the days before everyone started doing it.
Amazing
"I felt like i was checking them" bro you didnt even lift your leg😂😂
Lazy checks
