Diaz is a talented fighter, he wouldn't be where he was if he wasnt, and that goes for alot of UFC/MMA fighters. I dont think foot work in the boxing sence is mirrored in the octagon, for one main obvious reason the fighters can use their legs for striking. Stance, balance and positioning are all different when standing and having the use of all four limbs rather than two. Diaz is a very smart strategical fighter, he can box and he can work an opponent to exhaustion, as he has the tools to do it, one being great natural wind-cardio. His body shots are very good, have a look at bj penns face af
