Theres merit to it 100%.
Alot of frontrunners tend to gas when their opponents survive early and they have to deal with adversity. Thats not a coincidence im pretty sure confidence and cardio are related.
Vitor, Crumble, Erick Silva, BJ Penn, Overeem, Guillard, Sokoudjo, Lombard, Paul Harris etc.
You notice a guy like Crumble never had a problem with his gastank against Davis even to it went 3 rounds b/c he was dominating and never had to deal with adversity. He gasses immediately in the other fights where hes had to deal with adversity like Cormier, Kos, Arlovski, Clementi etc.
Terrible examples, most of those guys have notorious cardio issues.
