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.
Get that squid!
