He's explosive but I can't call him one of the most athletic dudes when he gasses faster than heavyweights who are twice his size. Endurance is another component of athleticism that people leave out for some reasonThe guy is one of the most athletic dudes in the UFC but since he doesnt look explosive and athletic, people dont notice.
Seriously though he has great striking, speed and power, solid takedown defense too. Bad cardio, questionable chin and heart. I don't know if cardio is something he can even genetically fix much.
More like he gets tired when he’s getting his ass kicked. Went 5 rounds multiple times in his career while he dominated. Went 3 with Aldo, assunsao, etc. he has major holes and when he gets beat up he gets tired. Yesterday he blew his wod trying to finish for sureHe might have the worst cardio in UFC, about 1 minute of cardio and his body shuts down. That fight could have been stopped like 3 times yesterday. He was never defending himself on the ground. Probably took the record of unanswered punches.
This. I don’t expect nerds to understand that he actually seems to have heart. He lost something against Cejudo.He used to have decent cardio and had some 5 round fights back in wsof. The gassing in one round is something that only started after the cejudo fight

See to me he lacks IQ, but has heart. He gets pounded out in every loss and never seems to stop fighting which is why the referees let it go so long. All he has to do to get out of there is roll over, stop moving, or give up his neck, but he doesn't and he gets slaughtered for it. It seems like his body doesn't respond when he gasses but his mind is in the fight and he keeps trying.He's always needed the early finish mostly round 1 or he went to split decisions almost all the time
Now instead of splits he's getting finished. He could never adjust didn't have the fight IQ or heart to ever be champ
