I think you have to look at it in a p4p sense, so I went with sea level Cain. To be 240lbs or more and have that kind of gas tank is incredible, that's a lot mass to be moving around out there. Whereas a munchkin like MM of course is going to have great cardio compared to a HW.

If it's for MMA fight cardio I choose Mighty Mouse. If it's straight cardio then I choose the Diaz bros. Last time I checked nobody else on that list is running a triathlon.

I don't know what is funnier, putting Dada on the list, or the fact that someone voted for him..
without the superhuman cardio of a lion DaDa could never have come out for the 3rd round throwing bombs while experiencing kidney and heart failure

I voted Nick because I hug his nuts (or will again in 16 days).

With Nick he has some of the best cardio and but it's also his chin that helps him wear his opponents out. Watching guys like Paul Daley and Scott Smith and Evangelista Santos throw literally everything they have into their punches still not knock Nick out is just incredible.

Condit deserves a mention too. He has a similar style to Nick of gassing guys out and then going for the kill (just with an entirely different fighting style).

The Kampmann fight was a great example of that.

Daley knocked him out.

The mat woke him up
