“And he came out in a different stance and he threw a couple of kicks, and that was great. And then he started getting his a*s kicked, which is the reality of the situation. Dustin took his time. He was talking breathes; he wasn’t rushing into it. Coz he probably knows McGregor’s gonna come hard, so he was kind of taking his time.”
Bisping clearly seemed impressed with Poirier’s game plan and believes ‘The Diamond’ fully deserved the victory.
