Low v02 max is not the same as what he was describing, though both your statements are true. V02 max can be trained; whereas, the type of muscle fibres you have and the insertion points of your muscle tendons are genetic. This wouldn't predispose Conor to having a significantly lower V02 max than any other fighter though. In theory, the guy's answer sounds interesting as to why Conor would gas out in a fight, but lower V02 max than Diaz let's say and/or his fighting style at the start of the fight being more aggressive would be greater factors as to why his oxygen deficit spikes initially in fights (due to exertion with quick knock out mindset as they described) and is unable to be recovered well in the later rounds (due to possible lower V02 max). The two things the guy mentions are valid talking points as to why Conor may have the edge in striking power; however, these alone would not suggest Conor would not be able to improve his late game stamina. With training, of course anything can be improved, sometimes at the cost of other abilities. This may be the case with improved V02 at the cost of striking power, but it certainly would not handicap him more than it could improve his fighting, i.e. spending more time with conditioning and increasing his V02 max. On the contrary, because of his genetic make up for striking power and quick knock outs, had he been focusing more on v02, maybe he would have had less time to maximize his striking potential and not seen as many first round wins. More than likely he had never had to train his endurance as much as other athletes due to these two differences in muscle genetics. As others have begun to find ways to defend against his knock out power (I don't really follow UFC so I refer to the Mayweather fight), Conor will certainly have to train himself to maximize his striking power throughout the later rounds. I just don't see it as an impossibility due to his genetics!

One very important thing to consider is that Conor does a lot of techniques that require a lot of big motions and drain a lot of energy. Spinning techniques for example are a huge drain on your stamina for a potentially high reward. Conor does a lot of these very draining techniques over the course of a match because he wants to end fights early, which leads to him gassing faster than someone who fights more conservatively.

Fun fact all of your skeletal muscles have some ratio of fast twitch to slow twitch muscle fibers. The type of training you do will determine the recruitment of those fibers so you can actually train to change that ratio and make any muscle to be fast twitch dominant. Explosive high intensity type of movements tend to recruit more fast twitch muscle fibers
@dee-taylor Жыл бұрын
Response from the future: Some are genetically predisposed to be one or the other by a wide margin. Sure, you can train explosiveness and endurance, but some people are naturally explosive without training a day and others have endurance without cultivating it. Those people are freaks and I've encountered them many times playing football, wrestling and later grappling.

I want to add that the third most important factor to power is the mechanics of your strike. Different technique will leverage different muscles to produce power, certain muscles will be used less or more depending on how you do the move. So, if you want to strike like a specific fighter, you have to imitate their posture somewhat and engage your muscles the same way they do.

Fast twitch fibers easily fatigue quickly as they use the glycolytic pathway that builds up lactic acidosis. Slow twitch fibers are more red in color and are loaded with myoglobin. These fibers don’t get fatigued. Your diaphragm for instance are 55% slow twitch fibers which is why you don’t get fatigued while you are normally breathing. I completely agree the Conor probably is loaded with fast twitch fibers.

Bernard Hopkins fought once a year against a hand picked opponent and he still got whooped. Mayweather has been boxing since the age of 10 years old, it's about time he hangs them up, Remember Bernard Hopkins had a LATE start to boxing so he went longer because of that, and obviously let's not kid ourselves here he was on some kind of juice as well, im not saying it was anything extreme like steroids but a bit of juice You really think if Floyd felt fresh he would stop winning? He loves fighting and winning but he knows if he comes back right now to fight he will get beat by any top fighter... He just doesn't have it anymore, why do you think he fought Andre Berto for his last fight? (Before the Conor fight)

@@lukeoutcold7187 idk then, it could be that mcnuggets just has bad cardio or pac has exeptional cardio. Alternatively, it could be a porier situation, guy who can throw out combinations and keep a good pace during the fight, but also has power if he needs a ko.

I think technique matters as well though. In the Diaz vs Connor fight for example I didn't see Diaz throw a single powerpunch with great power technique. All they were was arm punches, he didn't put his body weight into them or rotated his torso for full effect. Even if he does that it doesn't mean that he will have the touch of death but he would have a way easier time knocking people out.

Mayweather exposed McGregor two ways: 1. His power is not that powerful. He caught Floyd a couple of times, but he didn't rock him. (Floyd's defensive ability to slip punches, and not get hit too squarely helped a lot.) 2. Conor HATES "Deep water". After the 4th round, he was fading, and Floyd walked him down
