I totally agree that Connor is a sprinter.
The only way I see him winning a rematch is throwing more head kicks, jumping in to attack at the right time and not firing punches like a maniac.
His mantra should be to conserve his energy. Diaz is a triathloner.
He should focus more of his kicks, that's the main point,to overcome his reach disadvantage.
Connor shouldn't attack. He should make Diaz come to him. That way Diaz will be throwing the majority of the punches tiring himself out.
BTW I figured out why Diaz survived Connors attack avalanche. Just look at his head movement when getting hit in the head, he moves his head in the direction of the force of Connors punches. This way the effect of Connors cross are minimized. Connor on the other hand, cocky as he is doesn't do it, actually he moves his head against the direction of punch of Diaz's punches, that being the reason why he got bobbled with that punch of Diaz.
