He rushed in and became a head hunter the first fight without istablishing his range. He was attacking the body till diaz hit him with a vicious body punch and he stopped after that, he mentioned this, he was notable gassed on his stool after the first, I have a good eye for when a guy is gassed, I believe that body punch attributed to this as he Quinced when it landed, also he had it in his mind that he was gonna finish late 1st, which I knew was more than wishful thinking, when it didn't come through that also took the winds out his sail. If a guy is close to finishing in the 1st, but doesnt, he goes on to lose over 80 percent of the time, recent examples are lombard, mcgregor, and junior against Daniel kelly, it gives the opp a huge boost in confidents and also deflates the other guy that couldn't finish, I believe mcgregor feel victim to this because he felt he hit diaz with his best shots, hell have a smarter more calculated gameplan the second time around. I also believe his ground game isn't bad as others think, and he will shoot for take downs in this fight, he was already finished and checked out mentally before he shot for the takedown in the 2nd. I feel he opens up in the 3rd once he takes away dias movement, threw injuring the body and legs of diaz. 2nd experience at this weight class, He has all the skills to make this a very easy fight for himself, the odds in the first fight are much more accurate then the odds currently up for the 2nd fight.
