Is MMA the only sport where you can eat Popeyes (unhealthy) and be a (two-division) champ?

Athletes in other sports eat clean as hell as it’s an integral part of performance. Why is it that in MMA you can eat crap and still be the best?

Have you seen darts

Have you seen how NBA and NFL athletes eat in the off-season? They eat worse than the average couch potato and in higher quantities.

Fighters just have more and shorter off seasons.

Ricky Hatton got fat as hell in between fights and was 4 time champion.

A level athlete Shaq O'Neal

Athletes eat like fucking pigs, especially ones in sports that burn shitloads of calories.

I think you meant to say weight-cutters.

Most football linemen are obese. Doesn't stop them from getting that, "A Level Athlete" tag that gets thrown around so much.

 

[LongTermLurker]

Mayweather eats candy and fast food while in camp. Burns a lot of calories.

Good luck getting 5k calories a day eating "clean"

 

[Krimzon]

No, DC says you can also do it in Olympic wrestling. Therefore, Olympic wrestlers are D+ athletes

There are many athletes who eat like shit.

The best pitcher in baseball eats Taco Bell before every start.

As it shouldn't. You can be fat and an athlete. I dont understand why this is hard for people to grasp.

More like the whole season. They just take PEDs to cut it off.

Bowling. And yes, it's a sport.

Fernando Vargas was the same way

BEcause 90% of the time in 90% of sports bodyfat hinders athletic performance?
