Dustin Poirier's coach has hit back at John Kavanagh's stance that Conor McGregor was on the road to victory at UFC 264 before his brutal leg break, telling his coaching counterpart to check the judges' scorecards.

Poirier, 32, landed a number of crisp shots on the feet and dominated on the ground as McGregor's only chance of victory came via an unlikely guillotine submission attempt.
