UFC and MMA brehs is it normal to have a physique like this and be successful

[Standing on business]

Dude looks straight up fat and out of shape, are UFC brehs not encouraged to lean out before a fight

 

[TheBigBopper]

Heavyweight fighters can get away with it and some use their extra fat to their advantage. DC uses his fat gut and low center of gravity to smother people (see his fight against Derrick Lewis) and Roy Nelson used to do the same. Plus the extra weight adds power behind their punches and kicks and helps them absorb body blows. You won’t see guys this out of shape in lower weight classes though.

Dude has been wrestling his whole life,

before he got into mma he was a very successful wrestler. And he is a beast physically for his height and weight.

Not everyone has amazing genetics that make them look like wilder or anthony joshua

 

[HTXBreh]

He is old the older the fighter the less likely you see him ripped.They relying on exp over conditioning and looking for knockouts

I’m sure dude is knocking any regular dude in the street out, but on a professional wouldn’t it help to just slim up a little bit

 

[Kenny West]

He's a wrestler at HW. Those dudes are not known for being cut.

Dude can fight a hard 25 minute fight without gassing, his athleticism aint a question for me, looks be damned

 

[Paper Boi]

he's an Olympic level wrestler past his prime and could still kill you with his bare hands if he wanted to.

 

[KneeGrow.]

The physique that works is the physique that wins.

Daniel Cormier is literally one of the greatest MMA fighters to ever walk the face of the planet.

He has had kidney problems in the past from what I remember.

cutting all that weight in college and for the Olympic fukked up his body

He struggles to make 205lb, and even at that weight he still has a funny look yo him

his genetics are just different.

 

[DonDadda]

This beat Evander Holyfield

 

[010101]

a fat nikka that can fight is final boss status*

 

[Big D Bangston]

He really ain’t THAT fat, he a some definition to him.

he’s just short, so it sits different on him.

but dude is a beast and lost to 2 guys who are the
greatest at their divisions
