It’s so strange that some fighters just do not check leg kicks. It’s hard, but they teach that in the first couple months of kickboxing class, so they should at least be aware of the technique right?

Dustin even said that Conor tried checking his calf kicks, but they kept going through. there is definitely a way to properly check them since Gaethje does it, but it seems not that many gyms/coaches figured it out like ATT
