Better Cardio: Nick Diaz or GSP?

[Shael]

The question is who has better cardio and the answer is Diaz

 

[HIMBOB]

Running a marathon Diaz wins.

But he tires before GSP, GSP will wear him down with weight and making Diaz play his game.

 

[Rollotomassi]

Diaz probably has the better cardio but gsp not far behind. So close that cadio
Is a non-issue. Gsp is simply gonna stick and move a la Condit except with his jab instead of kicks like Carlos and throw in a few take downs in there. Gsp 50-45. Diaz doesn't have the tools to force Gsp to fight his fight. So he is going to have a hard time winning.

how do u guys come up with that shit? lol

did gsp try running a marathon and gas or something?

 

[willthechill]

Diaz has arguably the best cardio in MMA. It won't matter though. Both of them are machines.

 

[HIMBOB]

Irrelevant, they both have the gas to go 25 minutes at a high pace, and that's all that really matters.

yeah pretty much.

Its how the fight goes that decides who tires.

 

[R0bert0Lu0ng0**]

ive never seen gsp gassed

gsp has been in more 5 round fights and fights at a more tiring pace

nick kinda goes with the flow and doesnt force anything so he doesnt use much energy

its a push until we see otherwise

You answered the question yourself dude.

You heard of GSP doing Marathons?

I haven't.

I have heard of Diaz doing them thus we have two great atheletes one of which has a desire to be good at marathons and trains accordingly and actually runs marathons they other no thought of marathons as far as I am aware.

Now you tell me who will be better at marathons????

i know 60 year old women who run 40km with ease

and again, ur just assuming that gsp wont be as good at marathons as nick

This.

 

[DanaRed]

Nick Diaz needs to crank up the pressure then if he has such a huge gas tank. He needs to fire off shots AND kicks for the entire 25 minutes.

But GSP's cardio looked weak in the shields fight. It was utterly boring in the later rounds. But GSP hardly ever has shown his cardio. HE always ALWAYS does very little or nothing during the later rounds.

It looked as if Diaz could have gone to a 7 or even a 9 rounder with Condit after the fight. I don't know if you have noticed, GSP is always huffing and puffing and drinking water during the after fight interview. He has a hard time catching his riddum after the fight'.

Have you seen how they both fight? Nick walks his opponent down, and isn't afraid to get taken down. GSP mixes his striking with wrestling, non stop.

Yeah sure it is an assumption, much like everyone elses thoughts on the matter,

BUT my assumption is based around the FACT Diaz trains for Marathons, GSP doesn't I see no counter balancing fact and thus my assumption is Diaz wins.


Had I told someone else their assumption was stupid or flat out wrong I could see why you may take issue with that but I didn't so um, yeah were you just planning on saying that to whomever posted any assumption in this thread asking people to list their assumptions?????

We haven't seen Nick fight in over a year. Alot can change in a year. He also didn't have no injury or physical therapy shit going on.

Leaving nothing in the tank.

More smart play by GSP.

 

[Aas Gutú Adéli]

GSP in fighting

His style wears foes out
Iron Man is impressive and all but cardio doesn't always translate between things, some but not all the way

 

[buddahead]

I'll bet my life GSP doesn't finish him.

Nate has better cardio. All those muscles need oxygen. I think this fight will be a lot closer than people think. If Pierre wins it will be a five round decision.
