Conor McGregor is on a two-fight losing streak in the UFC, and according to experts, a major contributor to that has been his new style of fighting. 

McGregor was prominently a kickboxer with a very wide stance that allowed him to throw more kicks and stay light on his feet.

Over the last two fights, the Irishman switched to a more boxing-like posture, which required him to be heavy on his lead leg, which made him more susceptible to leg kicks. 

In the second Poirier fight, at UFC 257, ‘The Diamond’ took full advantage of the front-foot heavy McGregor. He chopped his lead leg to a point where McGregor’s striking was nullified. 

With the recent footage, McGregor fans took a sigh of relief when they saw their fighter go back to his own fighting style. The comments were filled with appreciation and fans were excited to see the notorious return and displayed this rejuvenated style inside the cage.
