You expect certain supplements were used?Watching the fight last night, couldn't understand how a 40 year old Werdum could maintain the level of output he did for 25 minutes. This guy is a heavyweight.
Very puzzling
were in the same camp.Him and rda are in the same camp. The way rda was so fresh in 5th rd vs Pettis and the way werdum looked vs cain at the crazy pace fight.....
This. Throwing haymakers for 2 mins will gas you out. Werdum was very efficient with his strikes. He does have really good cardio which is rare among HWs though.He's got good cardio, but laying off power strikes is a reason for it. Fighters who throw down will gas. Also never has to sprawl/defend TD's from the clinch cuz he can just pull guard or flop to his back.
Some people have a naturally higher aerobic capacity than others, without training. People who have an average aerobic capacity can never match that no matter how much training they do. McGregor probably has a low to average aerobic capacity, because I doubt that he doesn't work hard at cardiovascular training.

Looked like he could have fought another couple of rounds as well. Werdum has a better gas tank than McGregor.
Very trueWell, you are talking about the only fighter to have won the cardio battle against Cain.
