    I also think as strong as he is, his tank empty's quick when he has to wrestle or it becomes a little physical. He's blatantly geared for striking

    He was also bloated at 170. Carrying way too much weight. at 155 I think his stamina is fine.

    Can’t wait for this fight!
    Khabib’s strength is soul-sapping and freakish...

    Conner’s in big trouble. He’ll be reduced to wearing a green hat and dancing on cereal boxes, after this

    A guy that wrestles bears and Siberian Tigers vs a Man that protects his lucky charms, who will win?

    Simple, he doesnt run thats the main reason why, hes not conditioned enough to go the distance

    Not if Khabib forcefully removes Conor's Lucky Charms: Conor will be reduced to wearing a ridiculous purple suit and shilling his own brand whiskey if that happens. :lol:

    Khabib will snatch those Lucky charms and use them as his talisman for the remainder of his UFC career.

    He doesn't do roadwork.

    He'd probably never be Henry Armstrong, but I'm sure as hell his stamina could be better than it is.

    The muscle fiber thing is massively overstated. Explosiveness is much more neural than muscular.

    He said on the embedded vlog that he didnt run for a long time and recently started again, though at what level who knows but it looks like he is trying to address his stamina issues

    Maybe he just doesn't put in the cardio work. It was clear in the Mayweather fight that he hadn't put the roadwork in.

    He has an extremely energy expensive style, and doesn't pace himself it's why

    Complete and utter rubbish.

    He actually was running for this fight, yet he gassed. Running isn't the magi c bullet that many claim it is.

    Conor is a fast twitch/power fighter. An absolute nightmare for a round, then he goes. It's genetic.

    Watch the build-up to that fight and watch Conor training.

    Not only that, but training for 5x5' and 12x3's use COMPLETELY different energy systems.

    Try both arts and report back ;-)

    He's a heavy drinker and hard drug user who gets his weight and body fat down by taking anavar and clenbuterol.
