his technique looked off to me. He wasn't used to someone having a reach advantage on him and you coudl tell. He hit Nate with some good shots sure, but he was coming up way short on a lot of strikes as well, completely missing.his techinque was brilliant in the first but he was much slower in round two and got because of it some hard hits. he really needs better cardio thats for sure.
Please respect TS request for no retarded haters.Conor looked like an amateur in round 2.
His cardio was shit.
Walked straight forward after Nate with his hands down.
Got blaseted and wobbled more than once.
Had zero ground game.
Conor was fighting like he was in a local show tonight.

Nate stuck with his game plan, landed clean shots and kept at it until he hurt conor. Conors lack of ground game really showed as well. He was rocked but looked completely clueless
Lets be honest, this is what happens when instead of training cardio you're in the park playing touch butt with a pal.
Which is some amateur shit. "Chasing the first round ko"? Like most fighters say, if it comes then it comes. That's no excuse.Please respect TS request for no retarded haters.
McGregor said it himself. He was chasing the round 1 KO and gassed, while Nate reserved his energy for round 2.
he was getting hit back .I think it was pretty clear Conor had won the first round,
I don't know about you all but I feel like Conor's cardio is what really lost him the fight. At the beginning or early in the second round he did seem a lot slower and tired. Maybe he's not use to carrying that weight all around?
Thoughts?
Please, no McGregor Nuthugging comments or McGregor Hater comments.
Yes I agree. I don't think it was cardio. Being punched takes a lot out of you. Nate landed clean shots that weakened Conor enough for Nate to take him down and submit him. Clean victory for Mr. Diaz. Congrats to him.I think he suffered from punched-in-the-face-syndrome. No excuse to come off a full fight camp with no weight cut. his cardio should have been at its absolute peak.
