At range McGregor put on a striking clinic. Slipped everything Diaz threw and countered with something better.Best part of the fight for me was when Conor kept countering Nate's one-two combo. Hilarious.
Conor pieced Nate up so bad.

If Conor decides to add leg kicks to his arsenal, i'm sure he'd get more used to getting them checked.LOL @ 'jabs' ...but it's true: this is the first fight where we saw Conor using the jab with some frequency. In terms of technique, his jab still isn't very good, but it's a start.
His low kicks looked good though. Not so much the form but how he timed Nate's steps quite well.
I think that future opponents can shut these down real quick though, if they are disciplined about checking the first few properly. Conor obviously doesn't have the shin conditioning to endure this and because he is a relative novice at using them, he lands with the foot too often.
