If guys like cormier are considered mentally tough, why do they struggle with weight?

im a professional bodybuilding as well and 100% agree with this thread

Complete BS

DC wrestled - and was cut - at 184 lb in the NCAA final as a senior during college

Even allowing for his endomorph body type & allowing some muscle growth since then, he should be 205 lb cut - not chubby with love handles

Yep.

Conditioning and weight loss is just as easy and simple at age 36 as it is at age 21.

Lol.

Glad to hear it. Maybe if you run into Mr. Cormier, you can use your experience as a professional bodybuilder to help him prepare better for his title fights. Perhaps even a lengthy psychological evaluation as to explore why he's so mentally inferior to you.

 

[lenovo1983]

His high body fat and inability to control his diet shows that he lacks the mental discipline and toughness to be number one in the world.

 

[VonHalen]

And how did you do in your fight?

Boom.

 

[kingskot]

1) Bodybuilding is not fighting, not even a little. 2) Body types differ, even among elite athletes. 3) Cormier is 35.

 

[jimbob27]

TS wasn't talking about cutting, rather a cleaner diet to drop weight naturally b4 the final cut.

Yes he was. In bodybuilding cutting just means losing fat. It's not the same as a weight cut before a fight.

Bodybuilders spend months bulking during the off season, and then spend a couple of months cutting weight to lose the extra flab they've gained during their bulk. That's what he was talking about.

You still train hard so you maintain your gains, but it's leaves you feeling completely fucked.

Exactly. Pretty sure they don't let just any fat guy into the Olympics...

Hell, Cain might very well be the best conditioned athlete in the UFC but he's still packing that baby fat.

Because of how he eats

Did Cormier miss weight?

He had to tuck his belly fat in his shorts at the weigh in. Jones called him on it when DW gave the fighters their pep talk

 

[Karelinator]

Lol, so do we have some new sources about Cormier 'struggling with weight', or are we still talking about that Olympics accident?

Popeye's Louisiana kitchen is pretty goddamn good. I don't know why KFC is the larger chain, their chicken is dry and bland. The sides suck too

This is better than the OP, and true.

now that i saw your horrible sign

fedor never lost his belt on pride, so just remove him from the list

and losing your belt and then regaining it is actual a sign of weakness in the first place, but of determination at the same time

 

[punky brewster]

Look we all know that bodybuilders are much superior athletes than MMA fighters. Bodybuilders are much more disciplined and more mentally tough. That is why you will never find a bodybuilder that has used PEDs. They don't need to. Anabolic steroid use is virtually unheard of in the world of bodybuilding. True story.

All natural, incredible stamina!

 

[mmafan559]

A 25 year old DC could fight at MW, as 5'11" is pretty short for LHW, but approaching 40 DC could not.

That would be a helluva a sight to see.

 

[HHJ]

As a bodybuilder, you should know there is such a thing an Endomorph.

Cormier could focus on nothing but cardio and diet and he would still have a barrel chest and a dumpy mid-section. It's just how the guy is built. You can't change genetics. It has nothing to do with discipline.

this.

We have "pro" body builders telling us an Olympic wrestler is mentally weak.

Just another day on Sherdog.

Bunch of fucking retards in this thread, OP and that other "body builder" are clowns.

 

[Aggro]

No one said it was easy, fucktard

It didn't stop DISCIPLINED fighters the same age & older from making weight like: Machida, Couture etc
None of them have love handles

LOL - as for your boy what a p ssy...all the mad smack talk about:

- getting rid of Jones from MMA, ruining his world blabla
- his invitation for his victory after party
- blabla

LOL

Maybe he wouldn't have gassed so quick if he was more disciplined in his diet & conditioning.
Less chicken, more discipline

Yep.

Conditioning and weight loss is just as easy and simple at age 36 as it is at age 21.

My boy? Who's "my boy"?

BTW, you forgot the "F" in your user name.

If your a bodybuilder and you can go from 230 to 175 then we both know you use drugs. Cynomel, T3-T4, clen, and alot of other shit that mma fighters cant use or they will be caught by a drug test. there are three body types, and some like DC will never be cut up.EVER! but he makes weight, And that is all that matters.

I'm natural. I do intermittent fasting look it up
