Conor takes him down to avoid Diaz's long reach but it backfires and he gets flipped and gets choked out.
It really looked like Diaz's size started to wear Conor down in the second round. He lost his bounce and then Diaz's strikes starting to land and Conor had really no answer.
Conor got over confident and got sloppy. He got nailed by a left hand by a bigger man and that's when all the trouble started. I knew Conor's over-confidence would get the best of him.
