Video: Conor McGregor’s boxing coach rips Dustin Poirier’s striking technique

In January Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier are slated to clash in a rematch of their 2014 contest at UFC 178. The Irishman won that bout by first round TKO after catching Poirier with a clubbing left hand.

If you believe McGregor’s boxing coach, Phil Sutcliffe of Crumlin Boxing Club, the same thing could happen again at UFC 257.

McGregor’s own The MacLife site interviewed Sutcliffe recently and got his take on Poirier’s boxing skills. McGregor’s man wasn’t impressed, to say the least.

“Skill-wise, no [I’m not impressed by Poirier],” said Sutcliffe (ht MMA Junkie).
