MMA weaknesses and the fighters most known for each one

[Arrrrgh]

Cardio for Conor?
I get that he's had cardio criticisms but there are plenty of guys I'd rank higher than him at having a cardio weakness. Dude won a 5 round decision. Even if he was fading in the later rounds, there are plenty of fighters who can't make it 5 rounds, let alone win. Not to mention the mayweather boxing match going as long as it did.

Winning most of your fights by first round KO doesn't mean you have bad cardio.

Cain "Brown Pride" Velasquez - fighting in Mexico.

 

[tequilaboy]

Letting subs go Palhares..

 

[The Legendary Scarface]

Lacks general goodness as a person: Conor/jones

 

[Reileyb]

Lesnar - His above average fear of taking a punch, even though his chin is very solid.
Anderson - His clowning, his clowning caused his fall but at the same time I wouldn't want him to stop.
Cain - In camp injuries, the man couldn't stop himself from getting injured constantly.
Nate Diaz - Wrestling, combo'd with him fighting at WW a lot, he can not handle strong wrestlers at all, especially at a weight class where he is small.
Cody Garbrandt - Chinny, man lost so much of his fight life from taking unnecessary beatings in the pocket. He had legit talent in the stand up.
BJ Penn - Mental, I feel like Penn spent so much of his career mentally in the wrong place, always making excuses for everything that went wrong, always looking to blame everyone but himself.

Diaz Bros should be the inability to implement anything new. They know how to check kicks and they spent time at gyms with wrestlers. They just don't do it or show that they know how to do it.

Chin - Luke
Cardio - Conor
Leg kick defense - Nate
Boxing defense - Cody
Sub defense - Chael?
Big Stage Fights - Cowboy

What am I missing? What do you disagree with? Discuss..

Why bother listing Chael? He's retired/inactive.

 

[hunt0]

Oliveira - no heart

Dude won a 5 round decision.

So did Aldo against a top 5 fighter, winning more rounds and cardio is still his weakness

[MixedMMA28]

How dare you insult the Great Chael. You better hope he doesnt catch you in a Luxury Hotel

 

[FortieSicks]

Chin - Luke

Leg kick defense - Nate
Boxing defense - Cody
Sub defense - Chael?
Big Stage Fights - Kenny Florian

[Patman]

Chin - Luke
Cardio - Conor
Leg kick defense - Nate
Boxing defense - Cody
Sub defense - Chael?
Big Stage Fights - Cowboy

Pretty good list. I think Luke’s weakness is more so striking defense than chin.

If the doctors didn't stop it, he would've pulled out the fuckin Karate Kid crane kick lol

 

[tornado362]

Tony - sunglasses

 

[campbecc]

Nate can check kicks, he's shown that all the way back in the Johnson fight and then more recently against Pettis but doesn't always do it for some reason.

 

[Egészségére!]

finishing fights

 

[Guld]

Cables on the floor - Ferguson

 

[Fioretti]

I remember someone saying that Frank Trigg once got RNC'd by a turtleneck.

GSP - can't finish a sandwich

 

[Daelh]

Oliveira - no heart

Yeah getting dropped two straight title fights and fighting back winning is no heart.
