Because that's the power of lowkicks

You know it's coming, you know the pain yet you are unable to react on it in anymore

This lowkick game is so misunderstood outside Thailand and Holland.

McGregor made the same mistake. One lowkick doesn't hurt that much. 5 lowkicks are gonna sting and prohibt you from moving the way you want. 10 lowkicks will draw your focus to not getting them anymore but it will be too late because you can't move around fast enough anymore

I see so many guys in the UFC and Glory fighting boxing style fighters who are not using the lowkicks properly

Muay Thai 101

When somebody is punching, throw kicks
When somebody is kicking, throw punches

Boxers tend to lean on the front leg to generate power and torque. Start chopping there with in and outside lowkicks and the power and movement of your opponent will be gone quickly

McGregor for example read this perfectly with the 2nd Diaz fight. Altough he could improve his technique thus the damage he dealt, he did a good job with it. Only to forget this with Poirier who in his turn read McGregor perfectly and started chopping when McGregor over started to overstretch his punches

good analysis.
he does fight back but the HLs only show the parts where he was crippled
I agree that leg kicks are massively underrated in the West.

Leg kicks and clinch fighting in general are still very low level in U.S. The Thais are already very experienced combat athletes. Y2K already had over 80 fights before signing with ONE.

One Thai has recently crossed over to UFC in Loma Lookboonmee. She has shown some really good clinch fighting.
