Media Is This the Most Retarded Question Ever???

Khabib has taken breaks in fights before. He did in the Conor fight and also the Iaquinta fight wasn't a crazy pace. plus he's only been 5 rounds once I believe. Merab goes balls to the wall for 25 minutes, he drowned Petr fucking Yan who has a great gas tank of his own.
I don't think he took a break in that 3rd round. He was just aware Conor is hunting for a knee during his takedowns.
 
How so? I have seen those guys fade in fights. Merab literally broke Umar and had him gasping for air while Merab was laughing and playing with the crowd.
1 example

And you could argue Islam faded in 1 fight

So out of what 50+ fights among them that's "tend to fade"? Clearly not
 
These dudes have their heads so up them Dagestanis ass they can't see some minor flaws lol. We've seen Islam barely hold on against a FW in Volk in the later rounds. You mentioned Khabib slowing down in some fights. Merab literally dog walked Umar in the later rounds and toyed with him and these dudes get defensive when we mention their flaws lol.
Na. You're claiming they have a "flaw" for something they're still very, very, very strong in.

Sean O'Malleys wrestling is a flaw.

Cardio is not a flaw for Khabib or Islam.
It might only be an 8 or a 9 out of 10, compared to Merab's 10/10 or Khabib's 10 out of 10 wrestling. To call it a flaw is absurd.

I think Merab is the answer to this question. But to pretend Khabib, Islam and even Umar don't have super elite cardio is ridiculous
 
He got so much cardio cause he got no knockout power. Slow twitch fiber dominant.
 
I disagree, Khabib has never looked even slightly tired. He use to rotate 5 guys in the gym for many many rds. Way more than just 5 rds and those guys would be exhausted.
Khabib has good cardio but he could never shoot 49 takedowns and throw 400 strikes in a 5 round fight. Merab has the GOAT cardio, it literally doesn't make sense.
 
Sean Strickland and Bisping also have top cardio.
The Strickland having elite cardio narrative is wild. It's good but it isn't special, DDP is much better. He literally slows down in all his 5 rounders and doesn't have an exhaustive style at all. Plus the only guy he's ever melted with a pace is Abus who has 1 round of gas and is shit.

Strickland is more about pacing.
 
It’s obviously Merab, he’s freakish and probably the best ever. We have not seen guys be able to fight at that relentless pace for 5 rounds and not slow at all. Khabib didn’t have bad cardio but he often took a round off. Not even a discussion, the answer is very obvious.
