Stronger and has decent technique vs. Advanced technique with weaker strength - Which usually wins?

[FrankDux]

Khamzat is stronger and more technical than DDP (ground and stand up game).

DDP has better cardio (based on what we've seen so far).

I'm curious to see Khamzat's tank (should it even get tested) this fight considering his cardio camp at the TREIGNing Lab/Coach Cal.

Does the stronger guy also have better cardio? Cardio is king in MMA.

Does the stronger guy also have better cardio? Cardio is king in MMA/Sports

I added sports. Sure ability comes first, but cardio is usually what represents men from the boys. We see it in all sports, especially combat sports like mma and boxing

Usyk is a great example of this

Technique usually beats brute strength. But why would anyone act like Khamzat has less technique? His wrestling is better. Maybe lesser of striking?

OP also isn't taking into account fight IQ. Someone much weaker, with worse technique, can beat their opponent if their fight IQ is much better. Also, gas tank.
Also, luck. Also, quality of gameplan and ability to stick to it. Also, also, also.....

I think there is more details that need to be ironed out to fully answer this question. Strength alone isn't size, although it correlates, mma favors reach+frame as well. Then when it comes to skill it depends on how much of a gap and which skill. We've seen shitty strikers out strike better ones and non-grapplers stuff takedowns from good wrestlers. JDM wasn't supposed to defend Belal's takedowns, but came in with a great gameplan for it.

There's never an exact formula for mma, and that makes it great.
