For those who don't know pectus excavatum or concave chest is when your chest looks like this
This one is a mild case of it, its pretty common so a lot of people have it to some degree when its really bad it can look like this
Anyway the point im making is this deformity can have direct offects on your breathing capacity ( usually only when its really bad ) because it compresses the lungs, it just came to my attention that some notorious fighters with not the best cardio have this deformity, like mcregor ( no pun intendeed) although his case is really mild
But the worst case in the ufc is of edmen, who basically only got 1 round in the tank, he is a young guy so it can be just nerves and so on, but still... Thats something i think might have an effect on it
Anyway this is just a theory and everybody is different, so thats probably not the case but hey, it might be it
