I know at least 2 guys who don`t do any running and I`ve never seen them gassing. All they do is roll, roll and then roll some more.
I`m actually trying to cut down on the running and increase rolling too. Think about it. I do 2 sessions a day, maybe rolling 5-6 rounds each, doing one round on, one off. Plus before the evening session I may also do 30-40minutes running to get some steady state cardio in.
This guy on the other hand will do just the afternoon session and spar 10 consecutive rounds. So in one session he`s done the same amount of rolling I`ve done in 2, plus he`s also done a long session of steady state cardio - and as a big bonus he used a sport specific exercise to do it.
Rolling for cardio is just a very efficient way of training IMHO.
