Better Cardio: Nick Diaz or GSP?

id have to go with diaz on this, dude is a triathalete after all.
 
Irrelevant, they both have the gas to go 25 minutes at a high pace, and that's all that really matters.

Diaz will gas before GSP, due to having to carry both their weight all night.

Nick being on his back with BJJ will conserve more energy so in the later rounds, will probably have more Gas, unless, GSP is beating him up and trying to choke him out. But if Diaz can control, diaz will have more energy in the later rounds which may become interesting.
 
I 'm a huge diaz bros fan but i think georges keeps this fight standing for a whole 20 sec before takedown oblivion, if it were a standing bout for 5 rounds then diaz, but i think georges is going to lay on him for 5 rounds unfortunately :(
 
Diaz, but it doesn't matter because neither of them is going to gas in 25 minutes.
 
Nick has the better cardio, but I could see him getting tired after being beaten up and pushed around after four or five rounds.
 
GSP, due to Diaz mainly pacing himself. GSP doesn't gas, and goes all out. Diaz doesn't gas, but moves like a turtle in order to conserve energy, and wear his opponent out.

I think people are going to be surprised when GSP keeps the fight standing for the most part. Nicks biggest weakness is his terrible footwork and his speed and that is two of GSPs biggest strengths
 
GSP has better MMA cardio. He can constantly transition between fighting styles with no slowing down

Nick has better cardio if they just fight one style the whole time. He gets sluggish in his transitioning
 
Diaz will have to defend take downs and deal with GSP on top so even if he has better cardio there's a chance he could gas first. Though I can't ever see it happening (I wish it could) imagine Diaz repeatedly taking down GSP and forcing him to carry his weight? I don't recall GSP ever having to deal with someone else draining him like he does other fighters.
 
diaz cardio ? he's a zombie. a zombie can't hurt you if you hit it first and move back.
easy win for gsp and i'm not a fan of gsp anymore. i liked him before he got ko'd by serra. all of this greg jackson screaming we need a takedown,more takedowns, he got real boring. never finishing fights and people have the balls to compare him to as who finishes fights.
 
I wish ufc 1 rules still applied. I would buy much more ppv's.

Diaz wins this with UFC 1 rules without a doubt in my mind 10 times out of 10
 
Diaz has better cardio but Gsp is a freak. It's gonna be a sick fight.
 
nick

but he doesnt use it to his advantage enough

he should have tooled condit. he cant wait for fighters to engage. nick has to chase em down and pound em out. and stop relying on trash talk to get them to stand and trade
 
Diaz has better endurance no doubt. Doesn't matter though, GSP has plenty to go hard for 25 minutes, and is much more explosive.

I'm fairly neutral in who I want to win this fight, but it's hard to envision Nick pulling this one off. GSP is capable of doing what Condit did to him, he's also capable of wrestling him down.

Diaz doesn't really have huge 1 punch power. His only real shot imo is if he can stun him a bit and sub him when GSP immediately shoots.
