Tristar Gym head coach Firas Zahabi was a recent guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” and got to talking about issues with cardio and power in fighters when Rogan brought up Ultimate Fighting Championship former lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor and the issues he’s faced fatiguing in both the Octagon and boxing ring.
“The Notorious” has had issues in the past with his cardio in fights where he starts strong but fades considerably in the later rounds, as seen in his two mixed martial arts fights with Nate Diaz and his sole boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
