Dominick Cruz is the best conditioned fighter we have seen

[120wrestling]

It blows my mind how much movement this guy does, constantly bouncing around feinting, shooting takedowns, and the fact that he looks fresh in every round is remarkable.

There are guys who get gassed just by fighting 3 rounds in a conventional boxer/grappler stationary stance. The guy moves non stop for 5 rounds and could honestly go another 5 probably. (ok maybe not)

Only guy who moves as much with that level of cardio is mighty mouse. But MM is a smaller guy and is expected to have great cardio, Dominick Cruz is 5'8 and walks around close to 160...making him about the size of the average dude. The fact that he can do this proves he is abusing EPO (just kidding).

All jokes aside, Dom's cardio is untouchable and there is no one in the division to match his technique. 3-4 more defenses and he could go down as one of the best ever

Diaz brothers.

Frankie Edgar deserves a mention

This year?

In relation to how much more he moves than everyone else, I'd most def say he's up there. I think he's mastered fighting tired. He does get tired but him tiring doesn't seem to impede his movement.

assuming this doesnt happen in training or mid fight

And every fight despite never gassing in his career, Rogan or someone brings up that he's breathing heavy.

Dom said he takes deep breaths as a reset and to re-focus.

What about Cain, who's much, much bigger. Granted Dom uses a lot more movement, but the fact Cain has the tank he does at his size is amazing

 

[bad seed]

his cardio is good, but a lot of it is due to being effecient with his energy*. He knows how to set his breathing and rhythm to his movements, thus expending minimal energy for the work achieved.

Very true. Him, Diaz bros, Condit, Bisping, GSP, Cain, Hughes, Frankie, Anderson, and Tito best cardio in the business

Clay Guida finishes fights then goes jogging during the post fight interview.

Brad Pickett.

Gets KO'd a lot but decent..

 

[bambammccoy]

Idk. Him and dillashaw were both pretty spent at the end of their fight but Dillashaw was the agresser and throwing alot more kicks.

I havent looked at the stats but from memory of the fight he attempted alot more strikes than Cruz did.

Cruz fights more smart then he does hard.
