Conor McGregor is a knockout artist. And like most knockout artists, he functions predominantly on explosive twitch muscles. If he catches you flush, as he’s fully capable of doing with that stinging left hand, chances are that you’re going to sleep.

But the trade-off is that he has to expend a lot of energy to sustain that style of fighting, exposing his cardio when the fight meanders into the later rounds.

It was evident in the Nate Diaz fight, when he self-admittedly “blew his load” and ended up folding in the face of Nate’s zombie-ness. Although he addressed it in his rematch victory at UFC 202, a replay of that debacle can’t really be ruled out against Floyd.

As he’s displayed countless times, Floyd gets stronger as the fight goes on and has an exceptional gas tank that can easily keep him sailing when others sink in deep waters. As far as McGregor and the sport of MMA – whom he’s representing – are concerned, that would be the worst case scenario.

Especially if McGregor goes head hunting and finds himself easily stonewalled by Floyd’s expert defence – only to exhaust himself in the process – it could be a long and embarrassing night for the Irishman.
