Leg kicks, and showing up for a five round fight and not a home run derby would be a good start.
Go look at the Mendes fight. He was beyond tired at the end. And that was not even close to a long fight.
He was throwing absolute haymakers in the first fight, trying to take Nates head off with every shot.
He can pick his shots more wisely, and not load up as much.
That being said, he will never out-cardio a Diaz brother.
He did really well for the first and second round, but he did seem to tire out, and once he got hit hard by nate diaz it seemed nate just had that better pressure onwards.Considering Conor's gas tank was an issue on the first fight and would/could be a turning point in tne second, how hard is to improve your gas tank so it would turn from a "con" to a "pro"? I mean, could Conor train in a such a way, from UFC 196 to UFC 202, so he could last 4-5 rounds with no problem?
Exactly, unless he step in some marathons right now.He was throwing absolute haymakers in the first fight, trying to take Nates head off with every shot.

Getting hit in the face effects cardio, he should try not to do that.
Not spamming wheel kicks would probably help.
His gas tank could have been off for any number of reasons. It was his first fight in the UFC outside of 145, his first fight where he didn't have to cut weight. I'd bet part of it was just lack of experience.Considering Conor's gas tank was an issue on the first fight and would/could be a turning point in tne second, how hard is to improve your gas tank so it would turn from a "con" to a "pro"?
