Not Impressed with Cardio Fighters

Wtf are you talking about, so you think if they fight outside the arena, rather than in the octagon, Henry would have somehow won? What does being on the 'street' have to do with anything?

Do you think just having cardio and endurance means you can smash former world champions in the UFC? So all the endurance athletes and crossfit champions can just come to the UFC and do what Merab did? David Goggins would just beat up everyone by your logic. Who cares what you can do when you're fresh, a lot of untrained guys can be dangerous to trained fighters when they're 'fresh'
 
I'm not gonna sit here in my mom's basement and pretend like I find all fighting styles entertaining, but, at the end of the day where I've accomplished nothing besides complaining about UFC dying on a karate forum, it's a skill based sport and I wanna see what the best skillset to deal with is. I don't want to be lied to. If the truth is boring, the best style is boring, then so be it. It is what it is.

And I believe everything has an answer. For example, nobody could deal with Izzy's calf kicks... until Strickland dealt with them no problem.

So, yeah, it's not my problem. Fighters need to figure out how to deal with this shit.

That said, a boring style in the cage isn't my main issue. Brock, GSP, Sonnen, Ronda, etc. - neither of them stand and bang'd. They were still awesome. It's when you have no personality at all, no ability to create rivalries, to hype up an outcome of a fight - that's when it gets totally boring, and a boring style just multiplies the insult of you wanting me to pay attention to the illegal stream I'm watching while 10 porn tabs are open on the side.
 
Cardio fighters are awesome because the pace they can put up. Their time is short in the game though. Merab has to improve other aspects of his game. His control isn't great.
 
I’m the opposite. The psychological advantage like dude I can run laps around you is gangster.
 
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.

My last street fight were 3 gypsies on crack taking turns on me. Glorious.
 
ts have u seen a prime cain
i bet if u where given a chance to tell that to a prime cain
u wouldnt lmao
 
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."

This may rank as one of, if not the most idiotic threads Ive ever seen in Sherdog.
I’ve literally shelled up in street fights letting bigger opponents swing countless haymakers into my guard and the air until they’re huffing and puffing. Then I open up with calculated strikes, cutting angles and mixing kicks in till they either quit or hit the deck.
1/10 thread and you should really consider saving yourself the embarrassment and refrain from thread starting in the future.
 
Your comments show you've never been in a street fight, that's a good thing and I'm happy for you.
A minute of street fighting is tiring, but if there is no clear winner, we don't fight for another 15 minutes until the guy with the better cardio can "win."
Stop talking out of your ass, since watching UFC is clearly your only exposure to "fighting."
Stfu. Your claim is that street fights only last a minute but I’ve had a fight on the basketball court last over five minutes and several that were at least a few minutes long.
The only time a fight is quick is usually when it’s a complete mismatch or surprise attack.
Not everyone that fights in the streets sucks as bad as you do.
