laziness and wanking
afaik he's retired
I know there are some fighters who just perform at a higher body fat, but there is a point where it becomes unprofessional. Unless you are DC, stop getting so out of shape in between your fights and have to spend 50% of the fight camp getting to fight weight.
The TUF finale last week had this one fight that completely blew my mind.
Zuniga looks very out of shape here. He fought at 155, looks like he could fight at 135 if he cut weight and lost a little body fat. Otherwise, he could easily move to 145 with just losing the gut. To me, this is unacceptable. Its one thing if you are super athletic and explosive, but its another to be completely unathletic and overweight.
Who are some other fighters who get out of shape and bloat up in between fights?

I lost 120 lbs I'm high school and have kept it off for 10 years, and I special now or what.
Btw most of what you gained of just extracellular water weight. Isn't physically possible to eat that many extra calories in that short of time.

I was shocked when I saw Maidana! Have you seen Ricky Hatton?? He porked it up too.,.
And Tyson Fury, he was ~400 lbs allegedly earlier this year..
I mean they're both fat, let's be honest (DC way more though). but they're still great, and fedor GOATdo you call fedor fat 2.
Fat cells grow but they never go away.
You work your ass off to shrink them, but they expand incredibly easily. Really hard to shrink, almost instant to expand.
I was on a strict diet for a year, went on vacation for a weekend, and put on fifteen pounds in less that three days.
Once you get fat, you're fucked for life. The number of people globally who lose more than five percent body weight and keep it off for two or more years is statistically zero.
Fighters who indulge when not in a camp are making the biggest mistake of their career. They're adding a hurdle for every camp they will ever have going forward.
15 pounds and nearly all of it was water weight. You probably ate and drank whatever you wanted like a normal good vacationer does.
It took me a month to being my weight back down.
I also hadn't gone crazy on those three days, I had a few beers and ate sensible meals.
