What's lacking from him is strength, wrestling, and a good game plan.
He seems to go in with the same idea for every fight, go in, fluster his opponent with superior striking/pressure/taunting, till it either goes to the ground or he peppers them up to victory.
Everyone talks about the Diaz brothers amazing conditioning, but I don't think they use that tool to it's fullest.
I mean there is only so long you can get by being tossed stand up fighters whom have never been into the 4th round, and succeed.
You gotta fight the top guys eventually, and very few of them will lose face simply from being flipped off, or taunted.
