No what I am saying is maybe they cut out that extra 15 minutes before and after training to wok at cardio and put that half hour in the weight room stuff like that. I mean they are pro's they spend all day working out. I am sure alot of them plan that with extra strength they can finish the fight in the first round. I mean the diffrence between a Coleman neck crank and a Nogeria neck crank are quite a bit diffrent I wouldbet lol.

As long as we're talking about cardio, I remember another thread in the Kenpo section that was talking about big or over weight Kenpo guys. People were saying that just because a guy is big, does not mean that he's going to run out of gas. Well, as we all know from watching the NHB fights, that YES, it does matter. Tank is classic example. He's a big guy, with tremendous KO power. However, if he cant KO the other guy in the first few minutes, what starts to happen???? He run out of gas!!! He'll sit there and say that the reason he lost was cuz it went to the ground. That may be a small part of it but the main part is that he is out of shape. Now, I have to give him some credit though, cuz he has trimmed down since his debut in UFC6.

Cardio IMO is something that is probably the most neglected thing when we go to the gym. I know that I could use some extra time in that dept. but at least with the gym workout that I do, it adds some cardio into it, and I get alot from my BJJ class.

Good point. If your planning on going for the quick kill, I guess endurance wouldn't be as limiting a factor as strength. I wouldn't want to get cranked by either one of those dudes, btw. :D

I see what you mean. He still looks better than most regular people, but for a fighter he's kind of moved on to "doughboy" status -- he's definitely not in Tank's class yet, though :D

Perhaps the next event could have Ricco vs. Chuck in a donut eating contest, with the winner going on to face Tank. :D
