He is a cardio machine.
I have been saying this for a while. If Mcgregor cant finish him early. Ferg shouldn't have a problem getting a stoppage late.
Maybe. But Conor impressed me in the second Nate Diaz fight with his ability to pace himself to a victory. And Nate is no slouch on the cardio, even if he's not quite as good as Ferguson.

why do you mention that?Frank shamrock hurt his back and that's why he retired. He is Mexican decent. KENs his adopted brother
He has the best cardio in UFC in any classification of weight. 10/10. I saw Tony fight at very high altitude in Mexico against RDA, and he didn't even have sweat on him after round 5, he has amazing gas tank. The best.
Just for reference there were flyweights gassed on that card, and Henry Cejudo fought previously in Mexico and he was exhausted in round 3 and admitted it and said he was so tired and feeling it, 125 pounder.
I don't think it was really the pacing. Conor still slowed down considerably in the 2nd round. He found a second wind in the 4th round though. All of the damage from the leg kicks had Nate uncharacteristically slow down in that round too.
