Small waists in MMA?

[TommyBikes]

For what it's worth, I have a 35" waist and zero ko power

Volkov is the evolution of the small waist, to small mid torso.

Reyes is the evolution of a small waist to become a longer torso.

There is definitely levels to this shit.

Bernard Hopkins used to boast about his 29 inch waist. He had a spartan diet. Disciplined as fuck. Not quite a vegan but not too far off. The Diaz boys are both vegans I note. They seem to all have stupid levels of cardio. Bernard considering he won a world title at 50.

Except the science shows that eating meat is >>>>> veganism.

It's broscience and there are ofcourse other factors, but i think that square ribcage gives some natural KO power. Guys that come to mind.

Volkov has a very wide waist.... He has a small upper body, wide waist, lanky arms. Honestly a very weird and very unaesthetic physique.

[Blanqa Blanqua]

You may have cracked the code

Phil Davis: small waist, only one clean KO by punches

Roy Nelson: needs two belts to tie up his 50x30 pants, many clean KOs by punches

quality posting

Even canelo has a bit smally waists and hits like a truck

I think a thinner waist actually helps you to twist your upper body faster.
However, waist size generally indicates how big or small your frame is. A little frame is generally correlated with having good cardio. Look at runners and how thin their waistes are for instance.
What we call a frame depends on 3 things : bone length, bone thickness (which can be measured by looking at ankles and wrists), and waist and torso circumference.
So it's not the waist in itself that makes them be pillowfisted, but the fact they have such small waists indicates they are thin built and cardio type of guys, which explains why they are pillowfisted.

Usually guys with small hips carry KO power. Wilder, Julian Jackson, Mcgregor, Khamzat, Usman, Masvidal, Ngannou ect..

The Diaz bros are straight up slow twitch muscles, it’s got nothing to do with waist size. But that liability with power is an asset later in the fight since their slow twitch movements require less energy and their cardio is superb.
