Nurmagomedov: Poirier hurt me

Andrew Karlov Sept. 13, 2019, 9:38 a.m.

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said that Dustin Poirier had good punching skills.

"He hurt me. He won all his bouts in the stance with his hands, feet, pressure. We expected that he would be better on his feet. But this fight it just slowed down. If I went forward in the first round, it would be dangerous. At first, I was getting him tired but then I stopped and missed a punch. I heard the unhappy voice of my father to return to wrestling."
