MMA drills don't cut it. You need to maintain a threshold pace to improve your Vo2max to decent levels.
Any fighter just doing drills will be run into the ground by a properly conditioned fighter within a round. I did rowing aswell growing up & the training basically mimics 800m running training in terms of the durations & types of energy systems worked.
Boxers always did the right thing by running & still do. It's a staple of Floyd's training. Nothing on earth is as good as running for cardio conditioning - It's isn't jogging. It's 1km reps, intervals, threshold runs over 20min etc.
Dude looks solid as a rock though, amazing how low on fat he is at his age.
He's damn near 200 pounds and still looks skinny as fuck...
Don't understand why he's not fighting at mw, it's not like he had to cut 30 pounds. It's 10 pounds.
Is the five and a half minutes of explosion (with resistance) the rowers perform that similar to less than 2 minutes of fast running that is the 800? Haven't down track so can't say. GSP apparently only performed HIT cardio by the end, seemed to work well for him.
The issue in MMA is insuring you are strong enough for your endurance to matter. Strength (and maximising it) seems to be far more important than endurance training, although the fact the sport has weight classes should of made that obvious to being with. Diaz and condit likely had way better endurance than GSP and Hendricks, they just lacked the strength.
Always looks like he weighs about 170 at most......so when he ends up stepping on the scales and weighing 205 my head explodes.
Must be that Hen-dong.
"My God, Henderson. What a dick."

What's crazy is he doesn't even look that heavy.
