Costa with improved cardio and pace is unstoppable

[Sherdognut]

He needs to get on whatever Usmans taking and no one at middleweight is gonna stop him. Pace, power, pressure and durability, absolutely unstoppable superhuman freak to rule the division for many years.

Also just lol at some sherdoggers thinking Adesanya has a chance when he was getting pieced up by a WW half his size lmao.

What if forum.

What if I had a threesome with Megan olivi and Riley Reid

Umm.. to improve your cardio you generally lose explosive mass and mass overall. That's like saying Romero with Covington's gas tank would be unstoppable. When you're an explosive fighter your muscle uses more energy in shorter bursts. HS physiology for the win!

 

[djacobox372]

Fighters who are already in good shape NEVER improve their cardio.

 

[Emjay]

All of that until he runs into a shot that KOs him and then folks will be like "glass cannon"

Usman is probably the most jacked dude in the division with the best cardio too, second to maybe covington.

You're making it sound like Cardio is impossible to improve, this may be true if you're older but Costa is 28 with loads of potential left.

He better improve that cardio or he'll be crap in the championship rounds.

So, you don't think it is possible that Whittaker puts him out with one of his hooks? or right hand/right head kick combo?

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

With improved cardio and pace he'll lose his 2 greatest strengths (pucnching power and strength)

 

[Sausage_Carius]

Is he still using IV to recover. That's what a lot of us would like to know.

That can mean the difference between getting finished with one shot vs quick recovery after a KD or flash KO.

He is jacked. But he dosen't seem to try and explode like Yoel does though. Those are some high energy consumption bursts when he sprints and jumps into strikes. Usman really leans on guys and uses that size to force his opponents to bare his weight.

Usman doesnt throw power punchs and try to overwhelm people with blitzing flurries

 

[Khabib Fan]

I still don't believe they gave him Yoel. He could have had some highlight reel warm ups on the way to the top. From now on, anything less than top 3 is a step down. Time for murderers row.

Anything is possible in MMA, however if Yoel couldn't even significantly hurt Costa then i doubt Whittaker can either.

Romero fought a careful fight. Lots of feigning, changing levels to score points. He didn't want to bang with Costa. Whittaker would likely be more aggressive. Might work, might get him KO'd. He won against Yoel but he got beat up.

 

[hisandherpes]

imagine if natty goat costa went on epo or something. he would be unstoppable

[linch]

It's not about cardio, it's about pacing yourself and not throwing every punch with 100% force.
If Colby throws like that, he'd gas too.

 

[MIC]

All this talk about Costa/ Adesanya.. would be hilarious if fast forward and Whittaker KOs both of them down the track..
