Nate's only strategy is to hope Conor gets tired.

Like, that's it. No question who the more skilled fighter is.
 
He apparently doesn't have to hope. Looks like it will happen every time.
 
He could improve his trips and takedowns, he's also looked dangerous with his leverage in the Thai plum.

2/2 though his boxing has been outclassed.
 
The fight ended weeks ago bro
 
Yeah that's why Nate finished Conor in a round and a half in the first fight. Lol at anyone who uses the "being tired" excuse 7 minutes into a fight. Also, when your explosive AF, when you throw huge overhands over and over again and hop around in and out like Conor...your going to get fatigued! lol you don't get the best of both worlds unless your on roids and those days should be pretty much over or highly contained at least, now. Yeah Nate may be flat footed, but he conserves energy that well and he takes low kicks better than he used to. And checks some here and there which is why Conor was on crutches after the fight and Nate wasn't even walking with a limp at all. The style of punches Nate throws also allows him to conserve energy. Nate also does triathalons, it's not like he was born with this cardio lol he put in the time to earn that shit. That's an acquired thing just like good hands, kicks, anything.

Conor's only hope against Nate is doing good early and then hoping to stand up to Nate's iron will just long enough to survive.

Conor couldn't even dominate Nate like RDA, Henderson, and so forth.
 
Conors only hope is that Nate keeps the fight standing the entire time and that the judges have the same man crush on him as the promotion does.

Isn't he that guy that beat Aldo in thirteen seconds? He's the title holder, right?

I thought it was very clear from the first fight that while fresh, Diaz's striking is nothing to Conor.

But People seriously thought that Diaz's knee was what slowed Conor down when in reality, he was slowing down way before that knee with his hands down and no more good footwork prior to that.

Conor's striking >>>> Diaz's striking
Conor's TDD > Diaz's wrestling

Unfortunately for Conor ....
Conor's gas tank <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Diaz's gas tank
Conor's punching power at WW verse a guy he has to reach to hit unlike in FW <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Diaz's chin

That is what makes it a close fight.
