Im talking about a lot of the heavyweights here, probably a dumb question but i just can't get it, the amounts of food you would need to eat to pull that off is disgusting. Shit im a runner and i have to constantly force myself to eat to not lose weight and this guys do one of the most brutal and tiring sports in the world and are still fat, are they only eating butter soaked cheese burgers? Cause thats tho only way i think someone could pull that off.
Edit: im not talking about the guys with a little body fat here like cain or fedor ( especially pride fedor) im talking about the legit morbidly obese guys that pop in every fight
I mean... it's not a mystery. I'm not sure what you are asking. Physical activity doesn't burn as many calories as you think. It's quite easy to "out-calorie" an active lifestyle if you eat a lot of highly caloric foods in large amounts, especially if you're a naturally large guy. Some people are also prone to gain weight more easily and some people get satiated more or less easily. Foods high in fat and sugar are particularly palatable and quite easy to eat in large amounts. Having an "aesthetic physique" doesn't really confer many particular advantages in HW mma. That's literally all there is to it. A lot of food and not much else.
Here's 410lbs Mark Henry dunking a basketball. You can see how he eats at the 2:50 mark:
