Just rewatched his fight vs Nate.

Why did Conor gas so early? we've seen him in other fights that lasted longer where he didn't gas...

I understand he was throwing a lot of bombs with his left and a lot of flashy kicks... but isn't that his style?

Props to Nate for the win. Looking forward to the rematch.
 
I love da boy but he got hurt, and realised 5 rounds he could not do an Nate could take his best for five.

So he crumpled mentally brah

throwing bombs for 7 minutes will make you pretty tired...... and no, throwing bombs every time you throw isnt Conor's usual style
 
He was inefficient with his energy because he was eating 4 breakfasts + 1 dessert.

So he overcommitted going for an early KO...

Perhaps his usual style works better?
 
In b4 Conor sucks, was always shit, is ducking everyone.
 
Diaz pressure.

A bully being bullied.
 
I think his gameplan was off...

It was all or nothing with the lead left...

He was ineffective with his energy.

And he kept getting punched in the head.
 
He was trying to ko Nate with almost every punch he attempted in that first round. He approached that fight with a terrible game plan imo. Not saying he would win the rematch but I'm pretty sure he will last a lot longer.
 
He went up in weight
Fought a bigger man
Added 23 pounds
Cut too much weight

Whiffing bombs.

He used up all the energy he was supposed to conserve over 5 rounds because he was trying to overwhelm Nate and KO him early.

When he couldn't do it, he was fucked and he knew it.
