would any fighters here continue to fight if they had the knowlage that they could never have the proper fight fittness neeeded to do 3 five minute rounds against a skilled opponent?

im talking reasonable fitness, but if you knew that with out a doubt, you are always going to gas out before your opponent, would you keep fighting regularly?

I have asthma and that always plays a factor with me. But yeah I would still keep fighting.

I'm not going to speculate or mention any names, but I think we've all seen fighters who seem absolutely fine with continuing their fight careers despite a lack of effort towards or an overall inability to develop and maintain the stamina necessary to go 15 minutes without gassing.

[MassAttack2]

well yea.. i mean you just gotta hope to get good at finishing fights earlier.


Or just fight like Chris Leben. Either way, somebody is goin down.

if you gas. all you have is the chance of the KO or submitting.

I'm not a fighter. But I think it's about money and/or love of the sport. If you love it, but just don't have the dedication to put in the cardio time, well good luck getting your ass kicked. If you make money though, like Tank or Sapp, then that factors into your decision.

Amateur fights her in Portland under the FCFF org are 3 x 3 minute rounds. So are less cardio intensive.

i would fight on but definately strategise with that in mind....A) adjust my pacing so i could go the distance or B) go for the early sub/ko

[AbuSana']

I wouldn't do it.
Only had 1 fight, I gassed, and I put on a lackluster performance. Would never do that again.

[Thor21]

easy one. NO

A fighters spirit has nothing to do with stamina but stamina def helps a fighter physically.
