Colby Covington Cardio

[genecop]

A Douche with cardio is still a Douche..

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

He doesnt put much behind anything he throws

True, good cardio for sufe but it's not like he was throwing bombs. His style is perfectly tailored to win a lopsided decision while doing little damage.

Let's wait for the blood test results. TJ's cardio was great until... Colby's looked better than TJ's. Not saying he used PEDs. But isn't it possible? It's an incredible cardio level for age 31. Trust but verify.

 

[Herwald]

How do you get his cardio.

Imagine mcgregor with colby’s cardio

Image finding out Colby follows Conor's FAST system...

hes nick diaz with wrestling nick has the edge in bjj though

If you think he’s not popular you’re not paying attention

There is a difference between notoriety and popularity

 

[Iron Nick]

I can't stand him as a person, but credit where it's due: it was a great performance and yeah, his output was ridiculous.
BTW: how do you guys think he'd do against Khabib? and do you think that's a potential fight for the future?

 

[Palani]

They're gonna have to start giving him 10 round fights, if this becomes too easy for him

Not totally buying that Colby’s striking is pure pitter pat. He doesn’t have explosive knockout power, and he didn’t sit down and throw bombs last night, but he landed plenty of stiff punches and kicks on Robbie. Hurt him at least once with a body kick and stunned him a few times with punches. It’s obviously more Nick Diaz, Max Holloway and Tony Ferguson than Conor McGregor, Jeremy Stephens or Francis Ngannou, but he’s still landing with authority. Lawler absorbs damage very well, and he was still showing plenty of wear and tear during his post fight interview backstage.

Agreed. I also think that if "not punching that hard" would give you such a big advantage, way more fighters would throw like Colby. Sure - he didn't look like he wanted to knock Robbie's head off - but he still hurt him, as you've already said.

Diaz actually mixes in hard shots with his volume punching. Colby should go train with the Diaz bros and learn a thing or two.

 

[igrofungus]

He clearly doesn’t cut much weight. He’s pretty lean and doesn’t have excessive muscle. He also strikes me as a very hard worker.

Come on I don't think you gave him credit. Over 500 strikes thrown in a welterweight fight? 20 takedown attempts? That's no joke. Robbie kind of wiltered a bit like he did against Condit. The mans pace was undoubtedly elite.

I give him all the credit in the world for his performance .... With that being said,I just think Usman beats him

 

[MadHouse]

his cardio is definately up there with the best but i wouldn't say the best in the weight class, Usman has also shown outstanding cardio and that dude has a lot of muscle mass
