Do implants effect a fighters performance?

[LouisBolanos]

That was an asswhooping

 

[Char Jawz]

In New York they do, although they just affect (not effect) the fighter being able to even step in the cage. Ask Pearl Gonzales about that one.

At least she didn't have breast implants AND chapped lips. New York would have banned her from their state forever.

Do implants help or hurt fighters? While they make you weigh more they also provide extra cushion against punches to the chest.

Thoughts?

RDA has a titanium implant.

Bout tree fiddy.

They improve performance

 

[Mangar]

Yes. Implants add weight, meaning you have to cut more, reduces dexterity, raises the center of mass making TD easier, changes your biomechanics, gets you more backlash, which isn't good for your mental health.

What if the implants are filled with helium ?

 

[Flokk]

They can make a WMMA career.

 

[ChumpyKiwi]

All I can say is, if I were the judge it would definitely influence my decision

 

[Unsurprised Diaz]

Implants or GTFO

Then they'd be floating upwards constantly. They'd look even worse than having no boobs and will severely affect your balance by trying to lift you off the floor.

Damn OP got carded. This was a great thread and OP has been unjustly marginalized imo

Only calf implants.
