Media Paulo Costa doing 5 training sessions a day

His best chance in this match is to outlast Hazmat. The intense training in this instance is a good idea. I see people always saying "Train wrestling, train grappling" when they are going to face a champion wrestler in the UFC, as if a striker could possibly get to a level to compete wrestling in that time. They can't, it won't even help them. Hazmat showed he can get tired in his 3 rd war with Giblert. Costa is not an easy takedown because he is a thick boy. Costa has a chance if he can avoid the early blitz.
 
And he's still going to get taken down and mauled in the first.

It’s possible to lie lmao. Or count a “workout” where you do some stretching as a session lol.

It doesn't make sense. Any normal human being would do 2 long sessions and 1 short if you were into working out long hours. Say you wanna go really long. 2 sessions of 2 hours, 1 Session of 1 hour. 5 hours. Now 2 x 3 h sessions and 1 X 1h would be 7h. Who The hell trains 7 hours 6 times a week. That would be a snail pace

Not only did Khamzat's output increase each round but people don't talk about the fight in the context of what he did, which is basically throw out the gameplan and just throw haymakers for 3 rounds straight. Wrestlers have almost always had great cardio. Even Burns threw less in the 3rd round, but Khamzat threw the most strikes the 3rd round. Just a really bizarre narrative. Maybe he's not disciplined and can get caught up or distracted, but he doesn't have bad cardio.

It’s not maintainable at all. Maybe once a week

Did you even read what you quoted? Two of those training sessions are basically recovery. 1 hour and 45 minutes of training a day is certainly maintainable especially with 30 minutes of recovery before and after the 1 hour and 45 minutes.

I still think a focused, dead serious Costa would be dangerous.

It all comes down to his take-down defense and endurance. In a stand-up fight, this will be fun because Costa doesn't back down.
 
Train as much as you want, Khamzat is still going to beat that ass, if Costa actually shows up

That man, like Costa, wears a lot of hats.

That should be a very maintainable routine for a professional athlete. Even outside of competition season/camp.

Yeah, I don't think the guy that quoted you read what you wrote. For some reason lots of people on here quote people but don't read what they are replying to.
 
Let's hope he doesn't develop similar issues to when JDS overtrained for that second Cain fight.

EDIT: Looked it up. The condition he had from overtraining was called rhabdomyolysis.

I train, actually six days a week. Five days a week I’ll train three days a week. One of those days I’ll train two days of the week. So, six days a week I’ll be training

25/8, bro. Some of us are in different time dimensions.
 
Good to know he's serious about this fight at least.

Still, not getting excited until I see both him and Khamzat in the cage.

Hahah. I didn’t see that the first one was the same as the last. Thought it was another training session
 
I hope he's specifically working on what do you do when you get taken down.

That's one of the things that always bothered me when GSP was champ. You'd hear guys say that they are drilling takedown defense all day, every day. Well guess what? GSP still takes you down at will.

Same thing at Khamzat. If he wants to take you down, you are getting taken down. Now what? That's what you need to be training. Submissions off your back, sweeps, guard, get ups, etc.
 
That's great that he is trading hard.
What does he do for the other 9-10 months out of the year he is not fighting.
