MMA

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier commented on his opponent’s first round choke choke after early victory over Conor McGregor in the main event at UFC 264.

“I’m happy with the first round. I felt like I was in control. I lured him to close the guillotine, then go to the guard. Unfortunately, the cage was closer than I thought, for a second he even closed it, and I thought:” * rmo “.

It seems that I deceived myself, but in the end everything worked out. I knew that he would not submit me. Yes, I was submitted earlier, but I believe in my Jiu-Jitsu. When an opponent starts trying to do something, I can judge his level of Jiu-Jitsu simply by the grip, by the location of the hips, and so on. So everything was fine. I wanted him to push, “Dustin Poirier told ESPN.

We will remind, Poirier also condemned the behavior of McGregor before and after their fight.
