"I think there were some technical mistakes in that fight that cost him the fight basically. I mean if you watch the first round and the beginning of the second, he was winning the fight, obviously, he was picking Diaz apart really. "But there were a lot of shots that were kind of missing. He threw a lot more shots than he had to and I think maybe he rushed it a bit."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/727158510094573568 Nelson is clearly sticking to the McGregor party line that the fight was his for the taking until he ran out of gas. There is some truth to that but every time Diaz connected with a fist, 'The Notorious' was rattled. McGregor's UFC 200 plans are up in smoke but Nelson stresses that work is still ongoing to finish the job he started... before he was stopped. Nelson said:
"I think if Conor takes his time and breaks him down, does what he does best, uses his speed a little bit better and maybe not concentrate on power as much, I think he will walk through Diaz."If McGregor gets his way, and the fight gets the green light, expect an altogether different fracas.
