Conor McGregor has claimed he deserves credit for the "football punt" kick Michael Chandler used to knock out Tony Ferguson at UFC 274.
McGregor provided social media commentary during the event in Phoenix which included the clash between lightweight rivals Chandler and Ferguson. Chandler scored a brutal second-round KO victory when a brutal front kick to the face sent Ferguson to the canvas.
The Irishman has now claimed he introduced the kick to the promotion, tweeting: “I was the first to start football punt kicks to the face of standing opponents. This is my debut. I call it the “over the bar” kick. There you, go clear as day. Anderson textbook karate technique. McGregor big punt of a football, f**k I tote a 44, richer than quarterbacks.”
