Is anyone actually impressed with Tai Tuivasa?

[Final Say]

The majority of hw could be 205, this changes nothing. It’s the same silly notion that shoguns dc would have to cut a leg off to make 185. Not a leg, just the fat.

DC, Ryan bader, Jon jones, Gus, Rumble......

These guys are 'heavyweights' who can make 205.

 

[king of theRing]

Not one bit. The Mcsweeney fight showed he will look amateurish vs anyone with knowing of striking and distance

 

[cevo]

I guarantee you he is more healthy than 90% of the society and has better cardio than 95%

I agree though his physique is not impressive for a fighter... But so is Mark Hunt.

Being fat, taking punches to the head and pushing your body to complete exhaustion twice a day is not healthy, sorry. But he's not in this to be healthy.

Rumble....perfect example.

Rumble made 170 and I think we all agree that was a terrible idea.

Just because you can, doesn't automatically mean you should.

Every lhw is A heavyweight that can make 205. Wtf is your point dumbass?

 

[AimedWithV]

There are multiple heavyweights who could make 205 before him. The guy is packed pretty densely, big legs, etc....

Nope.

Here, look at him near McSweeney. And guess what - McSweeney made 205 numerous times.
His frame is bigger than Tuivasa's.
Everywhere

 

[ANIM4L]

It boggles my mind. I hope he keeps knocking them out.

 

[BigDramaShow26]

He has pretty good standup and he brings it. So I'm good with that. Arvloski will surely answer some questions about his TDD.

 

[LATEXXX COMMANDO]

Lol at caring about his physique.

He's getting the job done in devastating fashion and that's what matters.

 

[DarkneT]

Willis is a better HW prospect.

If that was true

Pass me a rope

Thankfully you are wrong

 

[Organic Damage]

The only thing that impresses Sherdog more than fat HWs with KO power is shredded HWs with KO power.

 

[Workaholic]

Nope. The UFC literally employs Cyril Asker to get KO'd by guys they're trying to showcase as a future guy. So no disrespect to Asker but KOing him just isn't something that makes me go "wow"

I don't see anything about him to suggest he's a future top fighter. A future fun fighter maybe, but that's all

That said, he could potentially win this given it's 2018 Andre Arlovski

 

[Aluminati]

Small, badly overweight LHW.
When I say "badly", I mean he's not a healthy man.
Heavy hands.

Well, he fights Arlovski so he has a .... puncher's chance to turn off his chin.

Why'd you put a picture of Fedor's belly in your OP?

 

[The_Renaissance]

Not really, but he's just a fun, big slugger who'll always be involved in wars or quick KO's one way or another. No beef with the lad. I reckon he clips Arlovski though, and finishes him.

 

[NationWideNinja]

Don't be ridiculous. He clearly has over 40 lbs of fat he could lose.

Thats assuming he doesnt cut any weight to 265. Even at 265 that would leave him with 20 pounds left to cut. His performance might be drastically worse after that process.

This idea that everyone would perform at their best at 10% fat and a sixpack has proven false many times over.

by whom?

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

I can't say he's done anything to impress me.

But how can anyone really tell anything when he's only fought Asker and Coulter.


Hopefully he turns out to be good though, HW needs talent.

 

[Vespasian70AD]

I wouldn't mind him if they kept microphones and cameras away from him. His quintessential Cuzzy Bro persona can be a bit much. Shot Bro.

 

[maxi diablo]

He's a healthy fat.

 

[AimedWithV]

He's a healthy fat.

Flabby belly like that is NOT healthy fat. I'm serious. It's at least cholesterol
