Not having to cut weight would have helped McG's cardio.
Carrying around the extra muscle he put on, and going balls-out trying to KO Nate in the first, with that extra muscle.... not so much.
Conor blew his load early, and Nate made him pay and pay BIG.
It's just like Lombard / Magny.
If Lombard had finished Magny in that first round, he'd have looked like a destroyer.
Now, we all have images of him flattened out, immobile, and taking multiple shots to the dome, while so gassed out he couldn't do ANYTHING.
People like to make fun of Conor for his 'inefficient with my energy' comment, but he's right. He emptied the gas tank in round one and didn't get the job done.
I don't know that the second fight will go any better for him, but I don't expect him to make the same mistake again.
