Why does cardio vary so much in MMA?

[William Huggins]

Ur also working with a different type athlete. Guys like lebron and Kevin Durant shouldn’t even be real humans . They look small on tv but in real life are fucking huge . One day Carmelo Anthony and the nuggets came and practiced in our high school gym . I’ve never seen a human so big . And now imagine he is jumping high af and then he lateral quickness to more side to side to match a 6 foot man . And not only was he tall he was fucking wide . Those guys can’t be compared to mma guys

You sound like you have a man crush.........and I think everyone of the people you mentioned would gas like a bitch it they had to fight in MMA without PED's.........

AFL players run 15kms a game, play full, 360 degree contact sport with insane sprint and power efforts littered throughout each game. Their training is bananas.

If you throw them into a grappling or MMA or boxing 3 minutes in training, they just fall apart.
Absolutely wrecks them.

Why? Dunno!

Because their body aint used to grappling,boxing or mma.

 

[TheOldMan]

Lol at this. So many factors.
Age.
Injuries incurred in training.
Bad weight cuts.
Getting hit in the fuckin legs,face,and body.
Need i go on?

Beat me to it.
Genetic make up, tolerance to pain, strength and volume of the punches they themselves throw, training in (or not in) mountains...etc etc etc.
Cardio has a lot of factors that contribute to it.

If i were to guess,its a combination of aldos weight cut and the way he likes to fight.. his comfort zone as it were. He prefers a low pace. Pickin ppl apart with choice killshots. If they could all be like faber,hes good.

It's much more though. Dude has Floki as his av.

Most MMA HWs are ded after 3 mins.

So two freaks who never fought would gas hard as fuck if they fought for the first time?

Lol u sound like u maybe hideing something . It’s nothing wrong with being gay. It’s usally the ones who trip who are repressed . And I was 16 being able to watch nba players scrimmage it would be memorable . And yeah the fucker didn’t look real .

 

[lagofala]

For sure. He also throws bombs, almost everything is heavy with Aldo so that doesn't favor him either.

I've always wondered if there's certain types of training that guys with great cardio do that others don't.

It's quite subjective. Rashad at the peak of his career was a cardio machine. But he never did roadwork.

Wrong!!! Aldo prefers Rum based cocktails and salsa dancing........

He prefers satanic rituals to the dark lord. Sacrifices so satans cloven hoof lends power to his kicks

 

[Mortal Wombat]

I get that, that wasn't what wanted to discuss.

I wanted to have a discussion about why cardio can vary so much from fighters to fighter.

It would also have to do with body type. You wont see a DJ compared to say a Roy Nelson have the same cardio. MMA fighters train much harder than most sports. The fights the easy part as most of them say. The gruelling camps and weight cutting all add to it. And some people get a second whim where they can rise above diversity and others like Conor just give up. Thats not just MMA, thats all sports.

You're right I shouldn't hide my true feelings for such an Ace Sherdogger like yourself, you are such a titan of knowledge..........

 

[in the liver]

For guys like conor and colby, its takes a lot of energy being a rock star

 

[Mike K.O]

Aldo also gassed cause of body shots

The answer is that your genetics are the biggest contributing factor to your VO2 max. If you are really curious, research the physiological characteristics that influence a person's VO2 max.
