Fighters With Noticeably Bad Posture

[FeloniousMonk]

mousasi's kyphosis is insane. not sure if it's genetic or from holding that muay thai stance all day.

Mousasi probably Plum-holds his cereal bowls in the morning.

 

[Steve08]

Not really his posture so much as the fact that he is cocking up on that right hand at all times.

Yeah, he wouldn't be able to throw with so much power if he didn't coil all his weight over his rear leg. Rocky Marciano was very similar.

When Hendo's stance was more centered, he was able to load up over his lead leg and KTFO Wand with the left hook. But he hasn't fought in a centered stance for years now. He's just always looking for the right hand.

Yeah, and mostly since that was all he threw... He was in that position almost the whole fight! In the battle of the TRT Titans, Vitor shut that shit down with the swiftness.

Diaz?

Hendo brain-farted big time in the Belfort rematch. Like you said, he was very obviously looking for a right hand, but he kept hesitating. It looked so awkward and then BOOM headkick.

Goes without saying but BJ Penn's stance in his last fight was just dreadful.

His striking in that fight reminded me of this:

Got to agree on Kikuno, his gotten away with this bad stance early in his career but in the UFC he gets knocked out, it took Tony less then a minute get use to that stance and go to work on him.

Also koji Oishi when he fought Nick Daiz in the UFC, his doing much better now days tho.

Moose. Plus he looks like he's getting ready to fall asleep in the cage.

It hurts me to even watch George Sotiropoulos. That's how bad his posture is.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

G-sot

His whole body just looks strange, he's fit no doubt but kind of looks like a fit 60 year old or something.

 

[dagon]

Um, Tim Kennedy has the worst...it's not even close.

 

[Alpinestar]

Kamal Shalorus

Do you mean posture DURING a fight? Or everyday posture?

Mousassi has AWFUL posture in everyday life. A huge case of anterior pelvic tilt and kyphosis.

Conor McGregor also has awful posture, extremely internally rotated humeri, and some kyphosis (hunch-back posture).

as a matter of fact, he lost the fights he chose to fight that way in years before he made his UFC debut.

But he would also show up with an awesome kicking stance, like when he outstruck Eddie Alvarez for the better part of seven minutes. He doesn't do that anymore, though, which is completely baffling.

 

[Z28MARO]

Wand has the hunch. But it works for him.

Thumbs up for making me have to google stuff. I did notice McGregor's shoulders seem to roll inward. Something looked slightly...odd?

 

[marksmen]

Miguel Torres takes the cake imo.

Tim Sylvia?
