UFC cardio chart. Who has the best cardio? Rate fighters from 0 to 10.

[GalegodoVeneno]

Might Mouse MMA GOAT including GOAT Cardio most fifth round finishes

Oh yeah, true contender, Dillashaw also has great conditioning on the smaller classes.

 

[jnes]

9-Killashaw
8-Lawler

 

[Skarsgard]

Where is Clay Guida? Forrest Griffin also had excellent cardio for a guy his size.

Forrest had some ridiculous cardio. Even when he was gassed, his output was still ridiculous.

 

[Gambit MMA]

too many guys to list

but the 8-10 range id say a lot of the guys are on the same level

 

[Azderiel]

Round 4: Conor 46 of 76 strikes, Nate 36 of 63 strikes
Round 5: Conor 24 of 37 strikes, Nate 19 of 44 strikes

Not only did conor land more, he had more output. Nate looked as visibly fucked as mcgregor at the end of fight and nate only won the last round with the takedown.

Being punched does lower your cardio. In a full blown cardio competition Nate wins hands down.

This thread is to take a look on opinions of who is the cardio god of UFC and who has crap cardio. From 0-10.

10 - Ferguson (Making cardio guys like dos Anjos look tired and unspired)
9 - Edgar, Couture, Nate, Nick, Velasquez
8 - St. Pierre, Dos Anjos, Jones, Sanchez, Cigano
7 - Gustafson, Ortiz, Khabib, Arlovski, Miocic, Werdum
6 - McGregor, Liddell, Anderson
5 - Aldo, Machida
4 - Romero, Penn
3 - Carwin, Ngannou, Weidman
2 - Mir, Tank
1 - Belfort (Getting exhausted after any 4-5 punches combination)
0 - ?
Reminders:
This is a kind of the average of the fighter, since fighters show diferent conditioning fight to fight.
This don't speak on fighters quality since fighters can be acomplished with low volume and low input too.
And is just a fun exercise don't need to freak out about other opinions. Take volume in count, fighters that throw less and got tired don't have a better cardio that someone who throws a lot and get tired.

Condit has more fights than almost all of these guys and has never gsssed

Cowboy has never gassed

Bendo has never gassed

Brazil isn't known for their education system or mental health care.

This doesnt make sense.

Output means more energy, more energy in a gruelling cardio battle. BTFO

 

[TheCompleteKO]

Some fighters that come to mind:
Robbert Whittaker has good Cardio - 8
Micael Bisping - 8
Rory MacDonald - 7
Colby Covington - 8
Jon Fitch - 7
Eddie Alvarez - 6
Max Halloway - 7
TJ - 7
DJ - 8

 

[Brock-B-level-Athlete]

- 21 Ngannous Cardio

 

[GalegodoVeneno]

Condit has more fights than almost all of these guys and has never gsssed

Cowboy has never gassed

Bendo has never gassed

True, but i think condit pushed a level harder then the other guys, he is elite cardio for sure, bendo was economical a lot of times and cowboy overwhelmed by nate diaz pace. I would go 9 - Condit, 8 - Cerrone, 7 - Bendo.

Pretty sure being punched in the face or body lowers your cardio more than it takes to actually throw the punch, granted the punch lands.

 

[SoSoSmart]

Is clay guida still in the UFC?

 

[blackjackz]

Fuck off Nate is a 9. His cardio was worse than conors.

 

[Metallicalabran]

what happens with tiny guys ??? Mighty Mouse, Dodson, TJ Dillashaw, etc, al those guys have great cardio, no one is mentioned here

 

[Mangar]

Special Pride edition:
10 - Shogun
9 - Minotauro, Wanderlei
8 - Fedor, Sakuraba
7 - Rampage, Herring
6 - Crocop, Henderson
5 - Gomi
4 - Overeem
3 - Aleksander Emelianenko
2 - Sapp
1 - Giant Silva
0 - Zuluzinho

Did you really just give Sapp a 2 ? That's pretty generous

Even tough not mma or fuly mma, he did pound Hoost for 2 straight rounds and survive 4 rounds with Le Banner (mma and k--1), in his best i think a 2 is adequate.

 

[GalegodoVeneno]

Veiled covington hate thread

Couldn't remember every fighter , but he is great, weared down dos Anjos and looked ready for more.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Lots of guys with great cardio, after a certain point you just have to group them together because they can fight for days.
