Anderson's weight

[Rondas Pillow]

There had been tumors that he walked around close to 220. It always seemed unrealistic. Now that he took a fight at LHW and weighed in the next day at 198, I guess we know his normal weight is around 200 not 220!

because normal weight post surgery & post usada is clearly the same as normal weight circa 2010.

Wonder what Cormier is going to be weighing tomorrow for the fight.

There's a video from a few years ago in which Dana White asked him "How much are you weighing right now?" and Anderson said 97 kg (214 lbs).

Besides the obvious reason (PEDless), I'd say he's been keeping his weight lower given that he'd probably be fighting soon anyways.

Im guessing 220-230 since that is what he was willing to fight an opponent at.

Show the pics, this is bs

When silva fought Forrest at 205 everyone was commenting on how far he looked

Revisionist history. He did weight 230 lbs off season and was said to walk around 220 lbs.


“I apologize,” Silva said. “I worked hard in training to go four or five rounds. I dropped from 230 pounds to 205 and then to 185. I worked my butt off. I had a long camp preparing for the fight. I owe you guys in the media, the fans and everyone an apology. I was prepared, but it’s unfortunate what happened.”


Ed Soares on GSP fight:


"I think Anderson is just too big for him.


I think that you can't make Anderson any smaller...I mean what are you going to do make a catchweight. But what is a catch weight 180...fine ...(On dropping to 170)...Anderson right now is walking around 225lbs...do you see how big he is...he is 225lb...to drop down to 170 is 55 lbs (laughs)."


He was also 206 lbs before fighting Irvin. His recent weight is not a good indicator. Now he's older, he's being tested for PED's and just had surgery.

When Silva weighs more than 210-215lbs he is out of shape. Rampage once got up to 250lbs while shooting the A Team. I suppose he should be a HW?

 

[killakillakilla]

Yeah TS its obvious that he is not 220. But you will still have people trying to say they know better in this thread.

There are a number of GSP fans on here that would like everyone to believe Anderson Silva was always a hulking 230 behemoth cutting down to fight smaller guys and not just a lanky dude who got out of shape between fights sometimes.

Straight from the mouth of Anderson himself:

" I dropped down from 230 pounds to 205 pounds to 185 pounds. So, I worked my butt off. I had a long training camp to prepare myself for this fight."

If he dropped from 230 that means he was fat lol

He got out of shape and was eating too much.

Clearly he didn't always get that fat.
