he was so used to knocking heads off he thought he could do it again and gassed himself throwing bombs
Conor knocks people out with combinations they don't see coming, because he's both sneaky with them, and has already hurt them on the earlier blow and so are dropped by the very accurate follow up. Whiffing single shot huge baseball pitch bombs is being inefficient, and is fighting contrary to his style.
It's not a bad excuse, he fought poorly and suffered for it and recognized it as such. He went back to his normal style in the rematch and dropped Diaz 3x, and did far more damage than in the first fight.
