Now Poirier has claimed in the post-fight press conference that McGregor even tried to do something illegal during their fight. When asked about what he was talking to referee Herb Dean about, Poirier revealed the same. He said, “I let him up because he had three fingers in my glove. You know the cuff at the tape? It’s a good grip, and he was pulling me down into up-kicks. He was pulling me down and then kicking up at the same time.”

“I’m not surprised that he does that type of stuff. I was telling Herb that I can’t get out of it. When I told Herb, maybe Conor pulled his fingers out. You know, fighting’s crazy, so I’ve got to go back and see, but that’s what I was trying to tell Herb.”
This is not the first time someone has accused McGregor of cheating. Khabib Nurmagomedov had also accused ‘Notorious’ of cheating during their clash at UFC 229.
