This is the first time Conor's been at a reach disadvantage

5'9" height 74" reach Conor McGregor
6'0" height 76" reach Nate Diaz

He's fought some tall fighters with less reach like Duffy, Holloway, Poirier, plus Buchinger, Sowinski, Jahnsen if you want to count the non-UFC fighters. But he's never fought anyone with more reach as far as I know.

Do you think this will be a problem for him?

Well, he has had the disadvantage once before... when he got choked out.

Conor has the speed and everything else advantage. Not a big matter I think.

This is going to be the biggest factor of the fight aside from nates cardio.

Nate knows how to use his entire reach.
