Can we stop saying this?
This is by far the stupidest fucking thing in existence.
I'm tired of hearing people say (For example) Stipe Miocic lost because he gassed.

Ronda Rousey only lost because she got kicked in the face.
Jose Aldo only lost because he got punched.

Cardio is one aspect of the fight game, if they have bad cardio of course they are going to lose.
 
If you gas, you have proven you are not an elite fighter. Get that cardio in all day.
 
So you're saying we can't describe fights now?

No, I'm saying to stop acting like gassing is an abnormal event, that only happens if the stars align and Cthulu comes to life.

Gassing is what happens when you don't have good cardio.

Er this is completely untrue, you can be as elite as possible and get gassed by body shots. Also Overeem, Rumble, Romero, Conor, Nunes, etc. have all gassed and are clearly elite.

Plus you can have perfectly fine cardio and blow your wad smelling blood (Faber vs Saenz).

I don't think anyone is really thinking that way. Of course I only speak for the rational thinkers. But I mean it's really merely a descriptor when it comes down to it. Like, so and so was winning the fight until they gassed. Kinda like, so and so was winning the fight but they got caught with a punch.
 
Fear makes people gas, it's not just a lack of oxygen.
 
I'll never understand why people claim Chipotle is better than Free Bird's. Chipotle has limited choices and everything pretty much everything tastes the same. But Free Bird's.....my goodness! They have everything you want all up in there to put in your burrito.

I fux with Free Bird's, ya'll.
 
Sometimes there are external factors, such as unloading on an opponent expecting a ref stoppage that doesn't come.

While ideally a fighter should pick their shots and not gas themselves out, the fact that refs have autonomy in that regard adds another dynamic to the situation.
 
It's a perfectly valid excuse for 2 week Mendes. Also: some pretty random hating on Aldo.
 
What about..he lost because he had gas?

I've never heard of Free Bird's, but Pancheros and Moe's are both better than Chipotle. There's also a non-chain place near me called Carnitas Taco Factory that's better than all of them.

He's not saying having cardio gives you a guarantee that you'll be an elite fighter, one simply can't be a championship fighter without it.
 
He didnt gas. He was in the best shape of his life and didnt have to cut weight. Diaz knocked the will to fight out of him

I wasn't hating on Aldo, actually.
Aldo is one of my all-time favourites, I was just using him as an example.
Try not to sound like an idiot, lol.
