I'd argue Cormier has more cardio issues. He gassed pretty hard against Jones. Rumble had an issue at MW in Brazil against Vitor when the ref screwed him (adding on to that awful weight cut) and at HW he gassed against Arlovski but other than that he has shown no cardio problems and recently went 3 rounds fine against Davis.
