Charles Oliveira’s physical development

[TriangleMonkey]

He’s become a massive LW. Dudes been training his whole life so something gots to give.

He looks like he could fight a WW and do well, much like Islam.

Lacking any evidence to make a credible accusation, you did the pussy ass insinuation thing. Never change Suredawg.

I just asked a question out of my admiration for Charles, I’m a huge fan. No need for this hostility and overreacting.

No, you are passive-aggressive, that's why you put ... after your posts because you are insinuating something else.

I get it, it's about PEDS, which I also think he's on, just like Makhachev and every other top fighter in the UFC. But at least I'm not taking the passive-aggressive route that you are taking, because that's just pathetic.

Bullshit! Not consistent with the position your posts always originate from.

He looks way bigger than Islam to me, perhaps it’s just his wide frame

He does look bigger. Let's see what they look like tomorrow.

Physical specimen? Lol

He’s still pretty skinny don’t know what TS is seeing lol

 

[nostradumbass]

He's just closer to the camera than he was several years ago.

 

[Grozer]

Still a big deal considering he was starved as a child going without food for days.

Thats better than well fed on an American diet

Nuthuttgery makes people say crazy things.

Sus.

 

[FIghtxIQ]

He quit starving himself, and started eating and lifting weights.

It also doesn't seem like he lifts like Conor who seems to do it more so for looks. Olivera's muscle type is more functional muscle used for fighting compared to show/beach muscles. He isn't as bulky but isn't just bones either.

You made me laugh.

Charles looks really filled out from the bone-dry/death look yesterday. His back looks massive for a 155 lbs'er. Seems to have put on 15 - 20 lbs rehydrating and carb loading overnight.

He did a lot of strength training as he knows Islam will make it a grapple fest if given a chance.

 

[MEAN357]

Maybe he got some meldonium from Islam

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Does anybody have any insight on what he did to transform his body?

He went from being completely scrawny not that long ago to now being a physical specimen. Have he or his trainers ever discussed any specifics about their program?

Hmm...

145lbs 21 year old kid.. to 30 year old man at 160 plus pounds.


Hmmm u figure it out...Genius

For real, as if we grow into our bodies and develop more muscle mass when we approach our physical prime, and please don't get me started on the idiots that think that only because you cut less weight you are going to look bigger come fight night, I'm with you OP you are totally not a fucking retard.

What? Islam clearly looks bigger.

 

[MMAFanCal]

What? Islam clearly looks bigger.

Charles has a taller, longer, wider frame while Islam is carrying the same amount of weight on a smaller frame. That is not called being bigger if you are using density as a measure since in MMA reach, height, shoulder span, limb length etc. all matter.

 

[MDoza]

Time. He dropped to 145lbs for a reason, then spent years slowly putting mass on. It's not like his growth was overnight.

 

[Dont troll me]

And let's not forget. Islam tested positive. Asterisks for whole career? Ain't that the Sherdog way?
