Questions about Tito's endurance

alright guys, first official new thread by me, hopefully it don't bore the sh!t outta you guys.

I've been watching the UFC countdown with Tito and listening to his often repeated "I'm the hardest worker" stuff and how he has all this stamina to go full 3 rounds... BUT in the last few fights I've seen him in he's looked lethargic in the later parts of the fight. He couldn't take Forrest down because his shots seemed slower and Forrest caught it... His shots on Ken LOOKED ridiculously slow but worked because... well because it was Ken.
I don't recall the Vitor fight or Patrick Cote fight so maybe there's evidence in there that I'm way off base, and I know he said he was injured in the Forrest fight, so i guess you could chalk up some excuse.
I guess the point I'm getting at for debate here is: Am I wrong or does he not have the endurance he states he has or is he losing skills... what's the deal?

he was hurt in the forrest fight, and didn't train as hard as he wanted, but you are right in that fight he looked tired...we're see how he looks tomorrow night but tito's known for his cardio, I think we will see a different tito

watch his fight with randy,5 rounds and he was barely breathing hard.he got his ass spanked(literally),but he still displayed great cardio...trust me,tito has excellent cardio

he has great muscle endurance. he's not the fastest guy out there but he'll get the job done

He took Cote down at will, and sent Belfort to the hospital due to exaustion

Barring injury, the post-Frank fight Ortiz's endurance has been pretty much unquestionable.

makes sense, its just that he seemed to slow considerably lately in the forrest fight and noticed he slowed in the Shamrock fight too, but by then he wore Shamrock down to a clover...

Sorry, had to do that.

tito did look tired in the forrest fight but forrest also has a large gas tank, so my his endurance level nullified tito usual advantage.
