Diaz comes on strong in the final two minutes and he is peppering McGregor against the fence. If he’s looking for McGregor to tire himself out again, well, he might have something there. If he’s trying to trick McGregor into jumping into his guard, he’s sacrificing the opening rounds to do so. The same could be said in the second as McGregor scores another clear knockdown less than 30 seconds in. It’s worth noting that Diaz throws plenty in round one himself, but the knockdown as well as several more emphatic head shots appear to make this an easy frame to score for McGregor. About 90 seconds in, McGregor lands that signature left and moments later, another one that causes Diaz to stumble. He’s dodging in and out, light on his feet, wary of Diaz’s length. He’s still in Diaz’s face, but he’s not headhunting. There would be no second-round submission this time, whether it was due to McGregor being more efficient with his energy or respecting Diaz’s toughness more. Much better than the first one did for McGregor, that’s for sure.
