If Cormier doesn't retire, he needs to drop to middleweight.

[Seaside]

He's struggling to make weight because he is trying to cut 30+ pounds of water weight during fight week. Do a real diet where he loses all that bodyfat and he can easily make weight.

He is trying to cut around 28 to 30lbs. I doubt he does above 30lbs that is very dangerous. 30lbs is like a natural max limit before death or organ issues. I am sure as it stands he like most fighters wont live that long and will be plague with injuries and pain.

His issue is he carrys so much fat. If he lost say 25lbs or 30lbs of fat he could be 205lbs or so at 10%body fat. Then make an easy cut to MW

 

[Seaside]

Bruh he cuts weight to make 205 pounds, do you understand what this means?
And no you can't just look and tell that he is 20%, you can guess, but that is not fact and thus, your opinion. Corner has a specific body type, he is actually very muscular and muscle weighs more than fat

Dude is muscular but no way is he under 20%. No dexa scan or bodpod test would support those numbers.

Bruh u crazy 30+ pounds in a week. Do you know about the strict weight cuttings rules that are implemented now?

Heavyweight is the place for DC. We don't know if Jones will stay at heavyweight and the division is one the thinnest of all. DC would make heavyweight more interesting with fights with Stipe, Werdum and Reem.

Because he's holding too much fat. Lose the fat, lose the weight. Do you understand the concept of dieting?

If only he'd hire a nutritionist and exercise. Maybe he could try that for an 8 to 12 week period before a fight.

 

[NorrisB]

Cormier could easily make 185. Problem is he eats too much eats and eats poorly. He needs to get his shit together. I asked a professional nutritionist and personal trainer at my gym yesterday and he's an mma fan, and said DC is about 20% body fat and could easily get down to 185.

 

[God_Emperor_Of_Mankind]

Tbh i do think he can lose some weight but i don't think he thinks it's worth it. He likes food too much and what's the point of all these millions.

If Luke Rockhold can make MW be certainly can as well.

He can't make 185

ITT: Fat people can't lose fat, it's impossible

Also note that he probably would lose a couple pounds of muscle while trying to lose the fat.

Cormier could easily make 185 in a year if he cut out the cake and Popeyes. But he's a fatty so I doubt he would.

 

[Flex Plexico]

He barely makes 205 donkey brains

You don't know jack about his physiology, body type and limitations. This thread should simply disappear. Stop talking about things you do not understand.

If you get to know him personally, work for 6 months as his dietician, trainer, physiologist, then we can take something you say about him seriously.

You get that permanent kidney damage makes it difficult to cut water weight right? It's why he was so on the fence going to LHW in the first place...

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Roy Nelson needs to move down to WW and knock out Woodley with ease then get that big GSP money fight

 

[po_thead]

The guy's won a HWGP and the solution is MW. Nailed it

 

[Federecooo]

we re going Daniel!

 

[Subliminal Message]

I would agree with you, except you are completely blind to the fact that he is FAT. You can lose FAT. Do you understand FAT? It's not like he is looking like Conor at featherweight. His fat ass can easily make middleweight.

He had kidney problems back in the day making weight during his wrestling days
He wud die making 185, at 40, consistently.
Much easier to just move up

 

[pamirec]

No. He needs to go back to Hw division.

He does not cut 30 + pounds in a week

Because Jon Jones is not going anywhere.

Cormier can't beat Jones at light-heavyweight. And if he goes up to heavyweight Jones will also smash him there. It will RUIN Cormier FOREVER, probably will cry thinking about it for the rest of his days.

Cormier is FAT. He can easily drop some weight and get to middleweight where Jon Jones can't chase after him. This is the only way he will ever be relevant again. Otherwise its time to retire.

It's sad because I think this guy is serious.

Towel gate was a few short months ago, and he's thinking Cormier can drop another 15lbs?

Have you not seen Cormier dropping top 205?

 

[Was at Pride GP 2000]

You must be fat and is in denial of the concept of losing weight.

Dude is a millionaire and losing that weight is not even an option for him. He's 40 years old he enjoys being a little jolly.
You going to tell Cormier is fat to his face?
