Khabib's Cardio

His cardio for a 5 round war is unknown and Khabib is known to cut heavy amounts of water weight before a fight. It could spell a recipe for disaster and I think that is what Tony and his team is banking on. They know they aren't going to out work him on the ground.
 
If anything, I think Ferguson has a good chance of gassing. Getting beat up and working from the bottom (with opponent's weight) is a lot of work. More work than the top guy.
 
Nothing says Khabib will gas but people have just accepted that's probably the only most likely way Ferguson is going to win by Khabib gassing out

Thank you. People act like Ferguson can withstand Khabib on top of him for 3 rounds and still be fresh.
 
everyone is saying Khabib will slow down in round 4 or 5.. If Khabib is on top of Tony for 3 rounds like he was with Barboza(no reason to believe he can't do that) then what will Tony's cardio be like after 3 rounds on GnP?
 
They all have shitty weight cuts it's just some are worse than others, their is no cake walk weight cut because most fighters are having to cut 15 pounds of water weight.
The diet they do just makes them have a little easier water cut but it's not a huge difference, I like how they get on camera and talk about how easy the cut was but then a behind
the scenes video surfaces and they can not even pick themselves up out of the bathtub most of the time. You can look at Khabib and tell he does not diet that much and chooses to try and completely
dehydrate himself to get the weight off. AKA seems to be a very stubborn gym that clings on to old school methods.
 
Because Khabib sees that Tony is his toughest test and maybe feels he needs a couple of extra pounds to beat him. Maybe that's what happened last time? Who knows?

Khabib has no problems with cardio, this is just Sherdogs continued anti Russian/Muslim sentiment. They don't want to see their American or Irish heroes crushed.

Sherdog has people from many nations and all faiths. (Mostly atheist) however, believing someone will win or lose is mostly about their skill levels not about their nationality or choice of religion.

While we're at it.. maybe you can answer this question. Why would God reward a man for his good deeds on earth with 72 women? Women aren't objects?
 
I haven't seen anything to doubt Khabib's cardio, but of course we have not seen him in 5 round fights yet and Tony is the worst guy on the roster to test 5 rounds cardio with. Tony has incredible gas and doesn't even sweat.

Tony is a very hard guy to keep up with, he is such an intense person that I think his intense energy can just make you tired. Khabib will be more tired in later rounds, thats natural and normal.. I don't think he will gas but he will have to be very careful because Tony certainly won't get even a little tired and he is such a creative and crafty fighter.
 
I wasn't impressed with Tony Furgeson's win over Kevin Lee especially after hearing that Kevin Lee has Staph. I mean he almost beat him. I think Khabib would beat both of these guys one after the other. I don't see Conor or anyone else in the division taking his title. I see him getting injured in practice or sick as a reason to take the belt. Which I don't think this would actually happen either.
 
well we've never seen him in rounds 4 and 5, and tony will definitely make him work harder than anyone else he's fought, and ferguson doesn't get tired.


khabib is so active with GNP so i think tony will be throwing up quite a few subs.
 
Have we seen Khabib pressured like he will be vs Tony. Going backwards defending takedowns is very taxing, I am just not positive who is going to be the one moving forward most. Cardio is something that has to be mentioned for any 5 round fight. Add with it someone who has no weight issues and cardio for days , vs someone that has had weight issues and some cardio problems in 3 round fights. Although, for this fight I see Khabib in the best shape of his life. Anything less he is doing himself and us fans no favors. Im surprised no pullouts yet, still 1 1/2 weeks out, lots of time for disappointment.

Sub attempts and strikes from guard. Khabib probably avoids the subs, but they'll tire him out and with blood leaking from his face...he can't go hard for 5 rounds like that. If he can't get the TD, Tony wins the fight. It's not competitive on the feet.

Explain how Tony can throw up subs with no legs? It doesn't sound like you've seen Khabib fight but he presses guys to the cage and locks their leg with his own. He forces guys to carry his weight while sitting on their ass. They use their arms to lift themselves up, and him, to try and get up. Meanwhile, they are getting blasted in the face over and over. You can't sub people when you have no legs, no arms, and are struggling to get up.
