I always wonder about how somewhere in the world, there is someone with the PERFECT genetic code to be the greatest fighter the world has ever seen and they are playing fortnite.
I always wonder about how somewhere in the world, there is someone with the PERFECT genetic code to be the greatest fortnite player the world has ever seen and they are trying to be a fighter.
Bro for beginning my English is poor because it’s not my first language. Now i want to ask you how i know if i have or not almost perfect genetic code for be great fighter?
It wouldnt be a crowd pleaser anyway, GSP aint the shit talker McGregor is. So it wouldn't be as fun watching him get picked apart by Money Makin Mayweather 💰 💰
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!
haha he wasnt drinking any whiskey, he had 1 shot at the press conference 3 weeks before, and then that bit on conan was just a marketing scheme, he put his lips to the glass he didnt actually drink any, if he would have won the fight it would have been the best advertising campaign ever
Squid Worth No you got it wrong. Conor looked fucked in his last fight. Physically he looked soft and weak. And his eyes looked cracked up. That’s signs of drinking heavily. He isn’t going to be the same again. I’m telling you he’s going to loose his next few fights. Simply put it the money and fame got to him.
Kavanagh seems to be pretty shit to be honest; Conor can't go 6/7 minutes without gassing; where's his cardio training? Where was his boxing training for Floyd? It was non-existent.
@Hamed Hashem You clearly haven't heard about Gunnar Nelson, lmfao. Do a research before talking smack, mate. There are wrose gassers than Conor in UFC but you only see him.
That makes me realize how good was Muhammad Ali with really big size. He had a crazy cardio (15 rounds), power punch, footwork and never slow down in a fight. Check out the Thrilla in Manilla, he went to fifteen rounds with 40° Celsius, crazy.
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.
@@Lyonatan No doubt there's plenty about him to hate on...but you do know he was on top of the UFC at one point right? So calling him a "second rate fighter" kinda only makes *you* look like a dope...
Dude is spot on about muscle/bone and genetic structure. I don't think either of them are in any position to be giving opinions on mayweather v McGregor. It was simply a celebrity fight for money. No way was Connor gonna last 12 rounds inside the ropes, the same as no way would mayweather survive 5 rounds in an octagon.
Dude you're fckn crazy... Diaz has CRAZY FCKN GAS. He's fckn train for triathlons for fck's sakes😂😂 That's one of the things he's known for is his gas and endurance
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
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 think he's spot on with genetics. Cardio is different in everyone. I was a lean freshman when I started on the track team and I was great at sprinting but I couldn't do long distances and still struggle with it today.
pudgylittlehamster even at my fattest I can run for days. When entering the police academy, we took a test at the dr office. My heart rate stays steady at a certain point. The treadmill was at a steep grade and we had to sprint, all hooked up to a machine
Hoodies&Timbs the police can’t run for shit bud, you may think your fast compared to your colleagues but realistically, you guys are getting outrun by 15 year old black kids on a daily basis.
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.
Don't imitate build what works for you. You are unique, what works for them is not optimal for you. Skill wise, mentally, expirience, phisically. You're just a bad copy then. Find yourself.
Many times when you elect to knock out your opponent or pin him or submit him it's a gamble. If you fall a little short you forfeit the endurance you gambled to take him out.
Firas probably nailed Conor's situation to a tee in his 1st statement. For example there's no way Conor has the same competition at the gym as let's say Khabib. Conor probably isn't getting pushed the same.
Khabib was fighting a 2 year off rusty Conor and he wasnt used to the overuse of hugging by Khabib. Conor also had majority of striking and significant striking and he only trash talks to get into the opponents head and promote the fight but after the fight is respectful and loyal
@@truman809 I don't believe in ring rust. Jones was out for well over a year multiple times and came back dominantly against the likes of DC and Gustaffson. Khabib came back from a multiple year layoff and has proceeded to dominate every single opponent, and only surrendered a single round in his career to a blatantly cheating McGregor. Dominic Cruz has come back from a long multiple year layoff and won the title. If Conor had gotten a turn tuneup fight, would the outcome have been any different. If Conor had an extra fight to warm up, and wasnt allowed to blatantly grab Khabibs shorts for dear life, the inside of his his gloves, the cage, knee illegally from the bottom, etc. What would have changed if Herb Dean wasn't on crack that night?
@@jeffereyflatuence1958 He was one of my inspirations for pursuing a medical career. I used to watch this t.v. show called "St.Elswhere" in which he played a young resident physician. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GLRfhRuGNW0.html
Another factor, I think is that Conor McGregor lives life in the fast lane when he is not training unlike Khabib who leads a clean life all the time. This is why I don't believe McGregor can ever defeat Khabib if the fight goes past the first round.
@@syed8218 That's bullshit lol. I can't believe that, after all this time, people are still hypnotized by the idea that Conor had a chance. Guys, come on, it was just a hype machine for a cash grab. MMA was always home of the inferior boxers when UFC wasn't making bank, and the best MMA strikers are barely at the level of a regional boxing champ. And I'm being generous.
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.
Other than doing a muscle biopsy, I’m not aware of any real way to tell how many fast twitch fibers make up your skeletal muscle. I know that your diaphragm makes up around 55% slow twitch fibers which makes it resistant to fatigue. Same goes for the muscles in your hips are made up of a large amount of slow twitch fibers so you can stand for large periods of time without fatigue.
foxybrown2 I’m a nurse anesthetist student that has studied anatomy vastly. What are your credentials to say that this isn’t true? What did I say that wasn’t true? Slow twitch fibers are absolutely red due to the large amount of hemoglobin in them and fast twitch fibers can use the glycolytic pathway producing lactic acid that can be returned to the liver and converted into pyruvic acid.
Man, Firas is truly an artist when it comes to the sport. Truly the brains behind GSP's success. The fight between GSP and Conor is going to be a technical warfare!
Yeah a fight between GSP and Conor would probably never happen. Conor is a businessman first, fighter second now. And he knows there's very little chance of him beating able to defeat GSP. GSP is very well rounded, hsi standup is almost as good as Conor's, at welterweight he had great cardio, and his ground game is some of the best ever in MMA. Not to mention he's a fair bit bigger. Conor knows he would be very unlikely to win.
@@yohannesnegga He never mentioned anything about his wins or losses, he simply asked how come pacquiao has power but also has amazing cardio. Get the fuck outta here with your bullshit clown.
Does pacqiao maintain that touch of death until the 12th round? Or does his power/speed drop off until he can catch is breath and get second wind? Geniuenly asking, i havent watched a pac fight and it is possible his cardio is out and out better than mcgregor
@@dakkadakka7697 His cardio is top notch and he never really slows down during a fight, that being said it's obviously harder to ko someone as the fight goes on, but pacquiao will ko someone if he can no matter the round.
@@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.
The main reason is that left straight cross, he puts all his strength and energy into that left straight. If anyone here trains in MMA you’d know that if you put everything into one punch and miss you feel a lot worse mentally and physically
I agree with the leverage theory especially seeing how slow and less powerful Conor looks when he wares boxing gloves , with the leverage theory you only have to add a small amount of extra weight and it could throw the mechanics way off and I think that's what you see when Connor where's gloves
the issue is that there's rare people with a combination of both power and stamina. Wilt Chamberlian, Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano is deemed one of the hardest hitters who ever touched the sport of boxing, while also having the ability to run 15 miles a day on a regular basis.
its all that but also how relaxed the fighter is- floyd and manny - they never got tired- they have been doin it since they were toddlers- theyre comfortable in there with their energy consumption. conor expends ALOT of energy quckly- and explosively, screaming - throwing power shtos- trying to end it quickly
The reason I think GSP is the greatest is simply because of his confidence. I know McGregor is good and so is Khabib but I really rate GSP, he has a very sophisticated mind and strategy that rivals anyone.
@@breyochiona9428 I don't doubt but I was more saying George's power is memeable, I said it was powerful, for what looks like a pitter-patter worked for him. So you're arguing a point im not making.
every good personal trainer should know this stuff..it's basics, this guy clearly knows stuff that should be known to everyone thats seriously into any sports...even just as a fan
@@DylanJokers u are ignorant...I say it's basic stuff cause they teach you in every personal fitness trainer schools nowadays..I finished one so I know what I'm saying, you are the dumb ignorant one
sychophantt I was referring to his explanation about muscle attachments and different types of muscle fibres. George vs Flloyd is only his opinion. I don’t believe any MMA fighter would beat a world class boxer in the boxing ring.
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.
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)
The most underrated cardio workout is jump roping I notice a lot of MMA fighters don't do that.. if you just do 15 minutes before your MMA training I guarantee your stamina would increase.. this is coming from a grappler that is now just training boxing for 3 years now
I ditched my gym membership and have been jumping rope 4-5 times a week for 2 months. Incredible workout. Its old school, but the old school stuff works.
I figured that all out when I was in track/sports in grade school. I am a quick twitch/sprinter....50 yard dash/long jump guy not long distance. I would need to do a Tyson and crush in the first 2 rounds.
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
Firas probably nailed Conor's situation to a tee in his 1st statement. For example there's no way Conor has the same competition at the gym as let's say Khabib. Conor probably isn't getting pushed the same.
Im pretty sure the general consensus is we all have very similar level of slow and fast twitch muscle fibres and the variation is dependent on how the person trains.
How can I assess myself and my "touch of death"? Maybe I've been training inefficiently because my target should be different based on my genetics, how do I find out?
This is the beauty of combat sports, there is so diverity in body types that all are good in their own ways, even if you might think that something is an obvious disadvantage.
