UFC superstar Conor McGregor assured his fans that he\u2019s going to \u201ccheque the leg kick\u201d the next time he steps into the Octagon.<\/p>\n
McGregor was stopped by rival Dustin Poirier in the pair’s rematch at UFC 257 in January. Part of Poirier’s gameplan was to land devastating calf kicks that greatly inhibited McGregor’s ability to move around the Octagon<\/a>. The result was McGregor being unable to get away from Poirier’s big power shots, and paying for it with a second-round TKO defeat. The lack of urgency by the Irishman to check the low kicks by Poirier directly contributed to the loss, and now “Notorious” is letting fans know he won’t make that same mistake again.<\/p>\n Taking to his social media<\/a> on Tuesday, McGregor told fans that he’s going to check the low kick, though the UFC’s highest-paid fighter used the word “cheque” instead of check. Perhaps this could be a hint that the trilogy fight with Poirier is just around the corner.<\/p>\n Guys I\u2019m gonna cheque the leg kick<\/p>\n — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) March 3, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
