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.
