Sean Strickland's body transformation

[DontForgetMe]

Strickland used to be absolutely ripped and now has a dad bod. Granted he moved up to middleweight and has done very well at that weight but his body changed a LOT. I am not accusing him of PEDs but it is a bit strange and he's performing better without any definition.

Will Dad Bod Strickland get a title shot?!?

Does Sean Strictland and Justin Trudeau have the same nose?

Picture 1 is Strickland at 170 lbs, picture 2 is at 185 lbs. Case closed.

He's not dehydrating himself to make a weight class that he's too big for.

What dad bod?



You comparing an old photo from the official weigh ins with the bodybuilding lighting to some random screengrab from a fight where he's breathing heavy... come on, bruh.

Breaking: Guy that weighs 15 lbs heavier not as shredded as he once was

He did not look healthy cutting to 170. Glad he moved up.

Everyone that cuts weight looks ripped. Look at all the people that do large cuts. He seems to be fighting closer to his natural walk around weight. So that means he won't be as cut since he isn't cutting calories and dehydrating himself.

Everyone knows being cut and abs is done in the kitchen/diet if you aren't using PEDs. Doesn't really affect fighting ability. It's more of a vanity thing. It does help with marketability so having some visible abs is always a good look for that. GSP would always say he only lifted weights for looks to help make him more marketable.

The Welter Weightcut problem helped. Most people look more ripped at the weigh ins.

If that's a dad bod, sign me up.

15 pounds is a lot of water

 

[KhosVaziri]

Some people perform better cutting less weight and also having more bodyfat.

 

[ocfightfan]

looks to me like he isn't draining himself and that was probably holding him back.

He looked sick at 170. Not juiced or anything. Gaunt and frail with a 6 pack. He looks healthy at 185

 

[spooNN]

Well, he did move up in weight...

The dumb and poor will always be just that...
