Not Impressed with Cardio Fighters

[ferrisjso]

You sound fat?

 

[BOTTICELLI]

Same here.

Make that three of us lol

 

[pick999]

Merab went wwe on henry who is "arguably" "greatest combat athlete ever"

 

[Fergelmince]

Valasquez was an awful example.. lol. Probably one of the most skileld / highest ceiling hws of all time. Who attained like 40% of it at best.

I agree with the overall point though.

What do you mean? 40% of his cardio potential, 40% of his overall potential?

 

[Dr. Rose]

While we're talking about streetlights... I got into one a couple of years ago, and it was hilariously sad.

Never been so fucking exhausted in my entire life afterwards... I was puking ffs... Whole thing didn't last more than 3 minutes either.

Nobody won... Think Tank Abbott fighting in his garden, and you're somewhere close.

Forgot about Tank in the Garden with Ferrozo

 

[Dr. Rose]

Since I cannot post the vid I want.

Another classic from two street fighters (and lack of cardio too)

 

[Trabaho]

Half of UFC Heavyweight bouts have been won by someone gassing in 30 seconds.

Nah you're just manlet hating on big boys

Your idols need scales to be protected from HWs

 

[LiQuiD42]

I don’t like cardio fighters either. I like fighters that have just enough cardio to leave their opponents twitching while unconscious on the canvas after a nice punch or kick. That’s about all the cardio I think a fighter needs.

 

[Kaiokenrye24]

Cardio can get so overwhelming it made Petr Yan quit

 

[AstralPanda]

What do you mean? 40% of his cardio potential, 40% of his overall potential?

Cain was an anomaly

He embodied greatness out of the gate

Over time, I think DC peaked and surpassed his overall skillset.

If Cain kept on the progression, he could've been something special

But I feel that stopped before he could truly do something great with it

 

[TheGreatA]

It's not that impressive when you outpace an old guy who hasn't been active. A cardio guy can easily expose an old washed up legend, who might still do decently in a slower paced fight.

yeah, anomoly for sure. We'll never see another HW like him, unless they get on the same regimen. I think his biggest problem is he didn't know how to moderate his training and blew every joint on his body out before he ever got to an event.

Looking at you Merab. Yeah, you beat Cejudo, congrats, but you lost on every judge's scorecard when you and Cejudo were both fresh.
Last I checked, cardio isn't a skill. No street fight has ever been won by cardio.
So keep being an "athlete," and turning the UFC into crossfit. Just don't go complaining when no casual ever pays to see you "fight."

There's a lot of aspects that go into someone's ability to fight, cardio being one of them. But let's be real, he didn't beat him in a HIIT circuit did he?

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Am I on ignore for you, or are you just treating me like all of Merab"s offense in round 1 and conveniently forgetting it?

Looks like my better cardio won me this internet fight.

Makes my record something like 450-0. Call me the Forum Rickson

I totally missed this post.

Yessir it looks like Frogman tapped out twice in his own thread.

Congrats on a victory to you too @Mohawk Banditó

 

[mkt]

This is absolutely, positively untrue. A great many street fights have been lost due to gassing in the first thirty seconds.

True in street fights, true in boxing (rope-a-dope anyone?), true in MMA since UFC 1 when Zane Frazier gassed and allegedly had an asthma attack and Kevin Rosier, who was taking a beating, turned the tables and TKO'd him.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Yes, I'm sure someone like you with 80,000 posts on an internet forum has more street fighting experience than someone like me, who is too busy living life to post more than occasionally over the years.
What do you do, post internet comments in between street fights?

Lmao this dude is too busy getting in street fights to post on teh dawg

Tank has a garden??

That's one of the common things that get in the way of Sherbros posting.

 

[spooNN]

Rather have that than a no cardio fighter who looks like a drunk average joe swangin' at the local bar.

 

[Rapa]

No street fight has ever been won by cardio.

tell me you have never fought in street fight guys have max 40 second cardio just defend their attacks and then u can beat shit out of them with one hand
