although I still think Conor wins by TKO I actually agree that stylistically it isnt that great a matchup for Conor, or at least not as easy as most will think. He's finally fighting somone that isnt a midget and he wont have significant reach advantage on. He's fighting someone for first time that wont fall for his mind-games and shit-talking - Diaz will give as good as he gets, and he's fighting someone that has decent cardio and can take a beating. The big pluses for Conor is that he doesnt have to worry about the takedown threat which is huge, and Diaz isnt elusive or mobile - Conor will be able kick him at will - and why I'd never consider actually betting on Diaz.

Vaughany! Get that squid!
