Actors mma fighters really heavy?

ok so im huge fan of tv and mma sad i know but what ever. i just started working out and stuff last week. i just want to know why are mma fighters so heavy. ill let you compare. nick diaz 6 foot 1 fights a 170 cuts from around 180. so actor stephan amell (green arrow) is also 6 1 and weighs 180 but lets compare the 2 they look not even close to the same.

p.s i dont know how to upload pics

same with lets say grey maynard who is 5'8 and fights a 155 and is huge for the weight class in guessing he weighs 175 at least but actor dustin clare (gannicus from spartacus) same height weighs 163.

im just wondering why this is and how i can look like the actors

It has to do with muscular density, how much muscle they have, where they have the muscle, body fat % and genetics. By looking like the actors I'm guessing you mean be really lean, the solution to which is to diet your body fat % to the single digits, and start throwing around some weight.

Try a good aesthetics-based training program. Or try to actually be a strong and bad mofo and do a real strength training-program. The basics are always the same, anyway...

Jmac, I'm going to assume you're young.
If you really want to understand weight and athletics go out for wrestling, you can learn about weight classes, body composition, and learn how to be a stud.

Good luck.

Also check out the FAQ as Keilza suggests
