guy is 5'9ft 220 pounds knocking out big ass middleweights his hands are so fast if he stopped pushing tortas down his mouth he could be the welterweight champion.
 
Pretty sure that Hendricks would beat him in a race to the buffet.
 
There are only a handful of fatties outside of HW, so yeah. Not a very prestigious title. Kelvin is faster than DC, who is the only other quick fat guy that comes to mind.
 
Calvin Gastelum isn't in the UFC.

Fedor is a fast fatty
 
Sherdog doesn't even know what "fat" is. Why would 10 or 15 extra pounds on a young athlete like Kelvin slow him down in any significant way?

The concern with that body type in a sport with weight divisions isn't speed/quickness... it's that the fighter will be undersized for the division in terms of muscle mass.

Even Hendricks, who has slowed down with age, isn't having difficulty in the division because he's too fat. He's having difficulty because the extra fat has forced him into a division where he's too small, especially with is little t-rex arms.

Ronda was pretty fast too. I’ve seen her shadow boxing vids.
 
Fat chubby fighters normally always beat the guys with muscles in MMA. thats why Fedor, Cormier and Cain are the best HW's ever. Sometimes the muscular lean guys will win but not often. Its only a money making scam to hire the fitness coaches, the good ole sports science, just $300k per month ;)

The guy is legit. Forget about not making 170. The guy is a contender at Middle. Kelvin seems to get better every fight if they Let him Bang.
