A fighter is not too big unless.....

[alaskamma]

So much lately all these fighters are getting accused of being "too big" for their weight class. If a fighter can make weight and doesn't get injured or sick due to the cut( like Hendricks or rumble) and they can compete well, then they are not too big! Guess what, every fighter cuts weight, so if cutting weight is your problem complain about that, don't single out certain fighters and claim they only succeed because they are "beating up on smaller guys"

Rumble didn't make 170 how many times?

Hel, he couldn't make 185 vs. Vitor.

"Too big"

= sherdog for "I don't like that guy but he is really good"

 

[ortizgnp]

So you're saying this is fucking healthy bro?

Rumble was obviously not healthy at 170. But he has little to nothing to with this post, why must you look for shit to argue about? Haha

Yes because you're a black belt that probably means you've never actually fought and spend all your time sitting on a couch posting on sherdog.

You used Rumble as an example of fighters "if they can make the weight, then it's okay".

Rumble hasn't made the weight multiple times.

Therefore, he's too big for WW or MW.

No you misread that, I used him as an example of people who were too big lol. We're in an agreement on this my dude.

well technically...

 

[alaskamma]

well technically...

Well yeah.... But my point is that he has no actual fight experience so his hating on me for being a white belt is ridiculous

You typed it wrong.

"If a fighter can make weight and doesn't get injured or sick due to the cut( like Hendricks or rumble)"

Rumble didn't get sick or injured due to the cut. He just gave up because it was too much, which was probably a good idea that he did that before he got injured.

But he was neither sick nor injured.

Hendricks is not too big for 170.
He's just not very smart.

Let's do a rematch at 125lbs.

alrighty.... well I hadn't planned on being a mediator here, truthfully I just felt like being a smartass by pointing out the technicality.... but

First off- WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!?!?

So it wasn't nice off someone to make fun of your measly whitebelt status... well sorry little cumbelt, but this is sherdog and people can be mean. Shake it off. I would imagine that not much harm was intended, just a subtle jab at a neophyte.

It also wasn't the nicest move ever to belittle TheRuthlessOne for lack of professional MMA experience. It is a discussion forum and I don't think that professional fight experience is needed to discuss the sport....

So everyone be nice and hug it out, mmmmkay?
