DC looking fat as hell for 226

What is the opposite of thick solid and tight?
First of all, I think its BS when people say that it would be impossible for him to cut down to middleweight and there's no way he could get lean and have abs. If you consider what people have went through down through history, the extremes of concentration camps, Christian Bale dieting down for "The Machinist", etc., of course with the help of a top notch nutritionist and the laws of physics and biology, he could get down to 10% or less body fat...in theory. Fighters run into problems when they try to do it through crash diet and dehydration rather than at a healthy rate through liftestyle changes. ALL THAT BEING SAID, there are some bodytypes that hold fat easier, healthier, and retain functionality better than others. Cormier has proven that he has a certain musculature that soaks up excess calories and makes the most of it. His muscles are a sleeping giant mass of twisted explosive fast twitch muscle fibers ready to explode on someone's ass. All they need is to get those mitochondrial energy storehouses full of ATP, courtesy of full and happy fat cells surrounding them. You see fat. I see a thick chunk of sinewy muscles with a bit of caloric insurance...insurance his body happens to know how to make the most of. If his leg doesn't hinder him, I'm feeling better about my parlay at the moment.
 
some ryt noobs ITT. You realise if he lost 15lb he would have a body similar to Brock Lesnar? Theres a whole lot of muscle under that surface fat
 
He is 5'9

246 pounds....

Unless you look like ngannou at that frame its definitely overweight.

Definetly overweight. I'm 5'11 and 215....I could easily lose 20lbs to be more fit.
 
He needs to come in heavy to be able to wear down Stipe in the grappling exchanges.
 
he's fine. what is it, 10 pounds heavier than he was fightnight at 205? looking forward to seeing healthy full gastank DC.
still Stipe though.
 
He just looks strong, his core is his power. War Cormier!
 
Hey guys. You can say what you want but Daniel Cormier is the African American Fedor. He can probably cut down to Middleweight. I like Stipe, he is a good guy but AA Fedor will give him a run for his money. -Kenny

lol - I don't know about cutting to MW...but I like DC in this fight too.

IMHO, too many people are significantly underestimating the benefits of not cutting any weight, especially for a pressure fighter like DC.
 
Clicked on this thread for some "All About That Cake". I'm dissapoined.
 
not sure if serious.... i guess you are joking, but he weighted in at 246....

226 is the event...

DC should be made to weigh in at the exact same figure as the event number to avoid any further confusion
 
Thin, soft and loose.

He looks better at HW now then he did years ago.

Seriously? He looks to me like he's replaced the muscle he lost cutting to LHW with more fat.

Here he is at 238lbs against Barnett

in the first pic he's with more 8 pounds and not flexing
 
Coming in with some extra weight to help hold Stipe down actually isn't a bad strategy. It's not like DC has had massive cardio problems, at LHW or HW.

It is pretty much impossible, DC would be ripped at 220 ish and he's terrible at cutting weight.
