Conor Diaz II
By the way it looks, the rematch is inminent since Conor coach and team are mentioning. In my humble opinion it is a little too soon and if Conor wants to avenge his loss, he is going to have to vary his approach this time around, he is definitely not going to outbox Diaz nor bully him.
Here I amgoing to mention a few of the things he has to work
Circle movement
Conor's tendency to bully his opponents and overwhelm them with his confidence is not going to work with Diaz. He needs to break Diaz rythm in order to win, he needs to piss him off by making him circle and chase him.
Work in his muay thai
Conor is going to need to be prepared to being pressed against the cage by improving his clinch control and knees to the head.
Leg kicks
Leg kicks aside from being one of Diaz weaknesses, helps to break his rythm.
No more high kicks
Conor high kicks are not efficient and certainly require lots of energy and are easily grabed. Diaz can grab them and bring the fight to the ground.
Setting up his left and uppercuts
Hids left is still his main asset, but he needs to hide them instead of just throw it like a one handed fighter. In boxing trainers always stress us to start with the front hand, jabbing, hooking. Conor's uppercut also looked good and can surprise Diaz. The problem ita was adverstised too much, as a new weapon he was working. Kind of reminded me old boxing anime Ashita no Joe, whenever he learnt a new move.
Improving his jab and defense
Having a decent jab is not a luxury, it is a must especially when Conor's left is so powerful. He should have traing sessions for his right hand only and start to rely on that more to time his left hand. This id going to help him to not be open to so strikes and he is going to able to defend more with his hands and shoulder and not try to bob and weave every strike.
