The dude played rugby at 214 pounds! Holy shit. That's insane. How did I miss this. Casual confirmed. Geez.

And hes not even really chubby.

Hes a beast.

Honestly doesnt get talked about much, but he is an amazing athlete.
 
his ground and pound is beast because he trained Greco Roman wrestling from young age to about 12-14 winning a few national tournaments before transitioning over to rugby
 
He must be a tough SOB. He played prop, which are usually the biggest guys.

He instead would be the smallest guy on the field every game, and would be tackling and getting tackled by guys 50-60 pounds heavier the whole time. Fighting manlets in the UFC would hold no fear for him.
 
This is why he's so strong, he's used to having more weight/muscle on his frame and dealing with heavier/bigger people.
