Fighters who fade quickly

[La Paix]

Got thinking after reading about Erick Silvas next fight about fighters who seem to fade rather quickly compared to most. IMO Silva is one of those guys who of he can't impose his will on his opponent enough to really hurt them he quickly fades and ends up getting beat up, think of the Matt Brown fight. Another one was Jamie Yager "Afro Samurai" from TUF 11 Liddel vs Ortiz. Iirc he would come out blasting kicks and shit but if he didn't get the expected result you just knew some time early in the second he'd be relying on the clock.

Another guy would be Melvin Guillard I think, who you got?

sucks that the guys who have a tendency to fade all happen to be some of my favorite fighters - Shogun, Vitor, Lombard, Overeem, Penn, E Silva just to name a few off the top of my head

Sapp and these guys for sure. I originally meant fade due to lack of heart not so much the cardio but all these guys fall into that I'd say.

Kills me to type BJ Penn....when he couldn't fight at his pace, or was forced to hand fight/wrestle.

Yea it sucked seeing that be his downfall. As great of a legacy he leaves there will always be thay what if regarding his cardio. Sucks

Yep. I bet he'll think that about what could have been until the day he dies. Doesn't make me any less of a fan...just sucks wondering what could have been.
