Media Marvin Vettori looking like a beast!

[mooseman17]

Bad matchup for Holland. He will be stuck under Marvin all fight.

Pulsating

Maybe some Pico's...

Why because he's lean? He's not even big looking in the pic. Looks in great shape, but nothing about that physique screams ped's. Know plenty of fitness hobbyists who focused on physique who were working minimum wage or close to it so couldn't afford PED's even if they wanted too who looked like that or similar. So shouldn't be surprising that a full time professional athlete can look like that.

Delts..looking pretty built...also lats out ..

I get it may be achievable and as a martial artists myself i understand training... Im just saying it looks suspect as he didnt fight that long ago and his physique looks quite different from his last fight

The guy is built no doubt...clean or otherwise

 

[theTKDguy]

He's lost before. Dude is not good.

He looks different because the lighting is different (dim with a little light casting shadows on his muscle striations) and he's cutting water weight. You can make most people look ripped with that lighting. He'll look normal again when he steps into the cage. As for juicing, most fighters do it, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Vettori did, but photos or even someone's physique isn't a good way to assess if they're taking something. Adesanya growing a breast is a more egregious sign of steroid use than a fighter looking jacked, and he's not built like someone who screams steroids.

The eye test can definitely work...if u know what to look for...but its not an exact Science by any means..

I hope the number of users is going down so for you to say most are i hope that isnt true anymore... would rather there be a cleaner sport then dirty..as a martial artists and a guy planning his first mma fight before covid i wouldn't be interested in fighting roiders as a clean fighter

 

[Quietus]

He probably got on something after the Izzy fight to bulk up and get stronger, and his face got puffy as a result, any cylcing experts want to guess which ones?

 

[HatKick]

These steroid accusations are crazy if you're basing it on that pic. If you base it on his history I understand. But this physique is perfectly achievable naturally if you have a stocky/broad build like Marvin does. Compare him to Usman or Costa whose pecs and shoulders come out at ya, Marvin looks perfectly natty. Are you kidding? I'm beginning to think this forum is full of fattys and lanklets.

 

[10mm]

Looks natty to me. Those traps are 100% natty.

Big delts or traps are usually the number one indicator for steroid abuse. Vettori doesn't have crazy delts nor traps.

 

[Londonjitsu]

Let's hope he doesn't get banned by usada again lmao

LOL Marvin has way more muscle than Usman does and IMO his physique is more impressive.

Not saying he is juicing or not but anything is possible. But yeah him and Usman are about the same height and Marvin is close to the same bodyfat but at least 20 pounds bigger.... honestly the Delts being a sign of ped use is such an exaggeration......

But yeah Marvin has a pretty good physique, honestly it would be pretty hard for most people to achieve that naturally. IMO

Yep he used testosterone as well.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Bruh, you serious? That looks like a normally chiseled body. Anyone can look like that without the good stuff imo.

Hard work and disciplin

Guess yall.forgot

You're ignoring structure. Sandhagen is practically the same height at these guys but he has no width and is a BW. Even if he put on muscle he'd be LW at best. Marvin has a broader structure than Usman and is a bigger guy, he is a natural MW but his musclemass is nothing crazy. Usman has a more narrow structure but bigger and leaner muscle

 

[Gio]

Not gonna lie, even though I've always rated him I never saw him as this kind of hardworking freak.
Dude is certainly on a mission now. That upper body is so jacked it makes him look like a manlet, proportion wise!

It's more on the camera angle imo.

 

[Gio]

Beast mode.

He will talk dirty and everything.

yeah he's ripped but still doable naturally and he doesn't have the steroid traps so he passes the eye test

Thank you.

Bone structure, especially bone circumference, hip-width, shoulder-width and the size of the ribcage get forgotten far too often in these discussions imo.

DC and O'Malley have the exact same height and reach, but despite the fact that DC has a lot of body fat, while O'Malley is really lean, these guys are of a completely different build, skeleton-wise.

Stipe and Jones, if you put them side by side don't look the same size either, despite the fact that they're close in weight and are both relatively lean with some muscle (but not a crazy amount of muscle), Stipe is built sturdier.
