Poirier is a great fighter. What is his weakness?
Is it his lack of flexibility?
He has good footwork but is slow on the feet.
If he chases his opponent it looks like he is bowing down when he is 'running'. It doesn't look athletic. something is missing there but I don't know what it is.
From a technical standpoint he made a wrong decision by chasing Conrat when Conrat was running backwards. He got away with it because Conrat is washed up and has no timing anymore.
Even Khabib clipped Poirier when he was chasing Khabib.
I think this is a weakness of Poirier. The fight needs to be stationary for him for his skills.
