Go watch round 5 of khabobs vs part time al Iaquinta. Khabob striking looked about as good as Rhonda that round because he was gassed. Colby has never looked that bad
I think Colby's cardio is a bit overated when you compare him to an Usman or Khabib

Funny because Khabib outstrike Al on standing. Al outstrike Kevin Lee, and went to toe to toe with Masvidal.
Khabib also dropped Conor with an overhand while Conor never dropped him despite Conor having a longer reach advantage against Khabib.
Khabib is schooling Conor in striking by moving backwards:
Conor's reach: 74'
Khabib's reach: 70'
You said he lost the round because of being tired.
Nate lost the fourth round against Conor and couldn't finish him while Khabib finished Conor in the fourth. Is that mean Nate was tired against Conor in the fourth round since he lost that round to Conor and can't finish him?
Colby too then was tired against old RDA since he lost the fourth round against him.
If your criteria for cardio is not losing any rounds then Khabib barely lost any rounds in his entire career.
Khabib didn't lose a round against prime RDA.

Came back to see if some posters learned what cardio is yet....
Doesn't seem like it lol
"Masvidal has better cardio than Colby because he throws punches harder"
- sherdoggers on what cardio is

Dude, he threw punches harder so even though he gassed midway through the fight and Colby doesn't gas after 5 rounds of higher output, his cardio is better than colby's because what's cardio

This thread is borderline silly. Colby’s cardio is easily his best weapon. His cardio is probably the best on the roster. Slow twitch guys have better cardio, there’s no need to spin this.
Colby’s cardio is better than Khabib’s and Usmans and it’s not even close. Put this thread in the hoax bin where it belongs.

Based on absolutely nothing.
I already answered the nonsense about Khabib losing the third round vs. Conor, then every round Colby lost it means he was tired: see old RDA in the fourth round vs. Colby. Colby lost that round, Khabib didn't lose a round vs. RDA.

I agree, I don't think he has the best cardio in the UFC at the moment. But still has very good cardio

D1 hating on khabib, not exactly suprising, remember that time justin was able to stuff khabib's takedowns with his American wrestling pedigree, yeah me neither.

“Shockingly pillow handed” that was LITERALLY the point where I stopped reading.
When Max can land hundreds of sig strikes on somebody. And you use that kind of exaggeration?? I can’t read another word. Fuck off and come back with something better next time.

I would take Colby cardio over either Usman or Khabib. Khabib just hold guys down every round, he is not near the high volume striker as Colby.
Usman also good cardio but I think Colby has a slight edge. He is for sure bigger and stronger than Colby.

I mean, he is tho, has he ever even come close to finishing anyone, he literally had jorge against the fence teeing off on him and jorge was literally smiling at him, imagine Burns,usman, luque or chimaev having someone against the fence like that and not being able to finish him...

He gassed after 2 rounds against Lawler.
Have you seem how he punched from the 3rd round onwards?

You are right.
Masvidal was gassed and was about to die. Covington couldn't finish him.
Burns, Luque and Edwards all beat him. They will punish him in the stand up

100% agree.
I hespect Khabib, but IMHO, Colby’s tank is superior, even without seeing Khabib fight multiple times in 5 round fights, simply based on what I’ve seen. The fact that Khabib had to slow down and pace himself in round 3 against Conor, shows he needs breaks like some fighters do.
Colby’s tank is god given, it is not from hard work, as many fighters work hard. I’m not saying the guy doesn’t train hard, I’m saying dude has physical gifts.

Agree.
He's obviously an elite WW but I'm not convinced he's #2 best atm.
He's picking his matchups very carefully and opportunistically finding opponents he can beat that still have a little bit of credit in their names.
Fighting Dustin at WW would be a direct continuation of this style of matchmaking and image building.

He did lose the round because he was tired, how could you not have realized that? Khabib even said in an interview he got mad and made himself tired. That doesn't mean he has bad cardio, he had very good cardio but not the best of all time, and not better than Colby. Do you think Khabib was the best striker of all time as well?Funny because Khabib outstrike Al on standing. Al outstrike Kevin Lee, and went to toe to toe with Masvidal.
Khabib also dropped Conor with an overhand while Conor never dropped him despite Conor having a longer reach advantage against Khabib.

Khabib didn't lose a round against prime RDA.
Colby didn't lose round 4 because he was tired, him and RDA were very closely matched and RDA was too passive in the first 3 rounds and let Colby take the initiative and it cost him the fight, if he had been offensive in the first 3 he might have won. If anything Colby won round 5 because he had made RDA tired.
I never said Colby was as good of a fighter as Khabib because he's not, Khabib was a much more skilled fighter but his cardio was not better.
