Anderson Silva's decline: Do you think there should be an age limit to fighting?

[krackdagawd]

I meant cutting water weight (which for Anderson is around 10-20 pounds).

And skip b said he's between 230-250 pounds which is (for the most part) not true. Anderson is at max, 230 pounds in between training camps. He's never been 250 pounds (or even 240 for that matter)



If this aimed at me, I had work breh

That googling comment was for the dude I quoted before.


Skip said he cuts 40-50

You said he doesn't cut 40lbs, he fights at 175 and you said he walks around at 230.


Do you not see a problem here? Cutting weight is cutting weight. The only time water is cut is in the final week anyway.

He fights at 185 and I said at max, he's at 230 pounds.

I was referring to water weight, when I said he doesn't cut 40 pounds.

To be honest, I didn't even know dieting was considered weight-cutting. I thought weight-cutting was specifically water weight.

That's what makes camps so brutal and fighters so moody/miserable ......a full day of training on a calorie deficit

No wonder fighters say that the training camp and weight cut is the real hard part of fighting.

For the most part, no one should compete in fighting sports past the age of 35. You can count on one hand the number of athletes who are the best in their sport at 38.

Silva has looked a lot less agile and EXPLOSIVE since the Yushin Okami fight (first fight at age 36), and his chin is obviously gone since the first Weidman fight. It`s only downhill from here.

BTW, Vitor and Randy use(d) PEDs. Belfort is one of the most blatant examples of PED abuse in sports today.

He doesn't cut 40-50 pounds you dumb fukk. He diets down and gets in-shape, which is around 195-205 pounds (max 210 pounds). From there, he'll cut 10-20 pounds.

'But but but he's 250 pounds and cuts down to 185'

Dive? You're a fukking awful poster

By the way breh I'm a pretty big fan of Anderson.

This is true. Silva used to compete at 168 lbs in the early 2000`s, and was recorded as having a 19% body fat percentage at 212 lbs.
