The only way I see Mc Gregor winning is him throwing head kicks like wonder boy Thomson to compensate for his reach disadvantage.
At first I thought the same, a rematch will just go the same way. But Conor is no fool, and likely will come in with a better strategy. Nate is a one-trick pony and will fight the same way every time.
I don't think Conor has the energy to throw all those kicks like Thomson. And if you're not quick enough with those kicks, Nate can shoot for a takedown. But he probably could try the same feet movement as Thomson i.e. keep moving, and not stay stationary, and keep out of Nate's straight-line hitting zone, and jump in for attacks, and jump out again. Like to Holly did to Ronda, although Holly had the reach advantage in that case.
Conor has the quicker hands. So if he can get in with a flurry, and get the hell out, and keep moving in between attacks, and keep doing that all night, he has a better chance.
But I still reckon Conor will eventually get tired and again become a sitting duck in Nate's hitting zone. Conor is a sprinter, he has to learn to pace himself against bigger and tougher opponents.
I hope they repeat the fight, the first one was a ding-dong battle.
