Tai Tuivasa looks like absolute chite

Looks like he is just very tired and drained from cutting weight, he used to fight at 350 in his early MMA days, and 265 is way too light and borderline anorexia for him. Its a shame, they should remove the silly 265 cap, its only MMA that does this cap, its useless.

Without the 265 lb cap, any one of us 7'8 360 lb 6% bodyfat Sherdoggers could come in and destroy the competiton and they don't want that happening
 
Steroids. One thing almost all those guys have in common that eat whatever they want is steroids. Makes sense if you look into what your body needs to make its own.

Also the breathing heavy thing may be from just training hard. It's not uncommon to become winded from just going up a flight of stairs if you're training hard all the time.
He won his first metal in 1948, and continued to win into the 50s. So he at least did the first half of his career before steroids. Also, he was very poor his entire career without sponsors so I can’t imagine him paying for them even if he could. At best he would have in the mid to late 60s when that doctor at York began giving out that pill I can’t remember the name of.
 
Alcohol and junkfood is the equivalent of shooting heroin
Heroin is a preservative. There’s a reason old junkies look so young rather than old withered alcoholics. Yes heroin can kill you much easier but it actually is way better for your body and aging process. Fun fact of the day.

Exactly, and thats always been my issue with it.

This.

you cannot be elite level if you have a shit diet and drink too much. It just doesnt work.
HW is the one weight class where you can kinda get away with it for a while..... but it just reeks of not taking this game seriously.

I bet Tuivasa drinks alcohol at least 5 days per week. Mayte he cuts back for a training camp....but.....wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if he drinks almost daily all through training camp.

Physique screams pizzas, burgers, fries, beer. Every day.

And yet that guy would still absolutely mollywhop 99% of males currently on this planet.

Tai came from nothing and has built a good life for himself. Only 30 at HW, and Australian, he's going to be in the UFC a long time. I bet he's pretty happy with his life. Let the boy eat.
 
And I'm not talking about his weight

Timestamped: 3:30


The man is 30 and skin looks like rubber/wrinkly, he has to breathe in-between sentences. I think he does a whole lot of drinking and partying and not 100% fully invested into fighting is my guess.

Cos fighting is healthier than drinking.
 
I mean, he looks like an Australian of indigenous and Samoan descent
 
damn went on public record with the

i like looking at toenail fungus and pimple popping
<WhatIsThis>

is it really that shocking coming from a fighter who is most famous for drinking beer and spit out of stranger's shoes?

i said in another thread, under that baggy shirt he might be in the best shape of his career

we will see

Honestly? Im not a 6’4 240lb shredded sherdogger. But i workout and watch my diet and i look 10x better than tai tuivasa. He would beat me up, thats ALL he’s got on me.
That's fine. I just don't really get the point of shitting on fighters for their physiques. Could Tuivasa lose some weight and look better? sure, but this is MMA not a body building contest. As long as you're able to be in fight shape and perform your best I don't see the problem. We've seen plenty of guys show up shredded on fight night yet gas out within 2 rounds. Physique isn't everything in this sport. That's not to say I don't think fighters should live the healthy life style but hey, the healthy life style isn't for everyone.

I think its because he has been losing and then looking even worse now is not gonna help. He always relies on the one brawl/punch that lands, watching his fight vs gane shows that he isnt good and just relies on the 1 punch ko. He did land it on gane, but when it didnt finish the fight he was a punching bag. And pavlovic beat him ar his own game. He’s not improving and its unprofessional.

Also, a healthy lifestyle IS for everyone. Theres honestly no excuse to be really fat. When i see a really fat person, i just think they are lazy, have no discipline or a pig. I wont treat them different, its just what i think.

Well what you think is kind of ignorant. Yes I do agree most of the time with fat people it's a discipline and laziness issue but there are also other reasons for people being fat like health issues, mental health issues, medications relating to those two issues and slow metabolisms that make it hard for them to shed weight even when dieting. Just because someone is bigger doesn't always mean they aren't healthy. Tai is an MMA fighter. He has to be in shape to fight, he has to be healthy to fight and being in shape doesn't always = beach body. Being skinny or buff doesn't mean healthy either. There are plenty of skinny people who eat like shit and drink a ton that are unhealthy and plenty of body builders that end up with heart conditions and other health issues from years of eating a fuck ton of food and taking roids.

What I mean by "the healthy life style isn't for everyone" is that not everyone wants to be full on health nuts which is what most of you consider a healthy life style. Not everyone wants to cut out everything unhealthy and have strict diets. You can still live a healthy lifestyle If you eat unhealthy food in moderation and exercise at least a few days a week.

Are you sure you even watched that fight properly? Gane was absolutely blasting his body after he got knocked down. Eat enough of those and it will deplete your gas tank regardless of what your body looks like. Secondly, just because he lost to Pav doesn't mean he didn't improve any, it just means he lost to the better fighter. Improvement takes time and everyone improves at different paces. Saying someone is unprofessional because they aren't improving leaps and bounds between fights is a pretty ignorant take as well.

Not asking him to improve leaps and bounds, just asking him to improve a little, and he has never improved. He doesnt show anything new to this game, after a ton of fights he still does the same thing. Adding to that he looks even phsyically worse is not going to work out for him. He may get beat for 99% of the fight and then land a lucky punch, but thats not a champion level fighter and guys like him can be found on every mma org. No ones asking him to come out shredded, but he definitely needs improvement physically and he cant even do that.

also. Most always a really fat person is not due to some medical issue. Those are excuses thought up by people to cope with their shitty lifestyle. U can’t take the cases of thin unhealthy people to say its ok to be fat. Its not even a debate.

bodybuilders get heart attacks because they abuse steroids. Its not new science. Your heart needs to pump blood throughout your body, if it has “too much body” it is working extra hard.
