Was Shane Carwin the most ripped heavyweight?

Not a full-sized HW at all, though. Belonged at 205. Ripped guys in the 250+ pound range are more rare, but there have been some: Carwin, Overeem, Lesnar, prime Mark Kerr, etc. How many were natty is a different story. 365 pound Bob Sapp with visible abs was the most ridiculous example. He probably took PEDs with every meal and pretty much admitted he roided in interviews.
 
Kongo is a freak. Almost 50 and still jacked.
That Coker testing, though. Overeem, Barnett, Bigfoot and Werdum never failed a test in Strikeforce and all got busted for something in the UFC.
 
Jeff Novitzky in this thread like:

That fighter did well in ufc though.
Except for getting KO'd in the 1st round by short fat guys (Nelson, Hunt). Mir knocked him down and nearly out too IIRC then choked him.

Coker wasn’t dumb, he would literally tell the fighters ahead of time exactly when they were getting tested.

And the token guys who occasionally get busted are usually expendable, old guys. For example, both Kimbo and Ken Shamrock after their fight IIRC. But he certainly couldn't bust at least half the guys in his SF HW tournament.

Yeah Sapp had the chemical cocktail going on for certain. Him keeping the body he has is him thinking he can go the Goliath losing to David route while being paid well overseas seems to be working out for him.

He ended his career at 36 and he must be the only one Brock Lesnar who was that big and ripped. Francis was more a lanky fighter.

I´m glad the New Breed era was short lived, it was too homo like your thread.

I think kimbo and Ken both knew it was going to be their last fight so they just didn’t give a fuck lol

No pics or evidence of any kind. Typical dumbass white belt thread.
 
This reminds of how Carwin and the UFC swept his suspicious drug test under the carpet.
 
Carwin almost had Lesnar beat!

lol I can’t argue with the ref because lesnar ended up winning, but with todays quick stoppages Shane wins that fight.

also, Shane beat himself when Brock was turtles up he should have been patient. Brock wasn’t gonna take him down while Shane had energy, and he was a tremendously better boxer.

people are gonna hate me for this, but I think it’s stipe vs Francis 1. The big puncher gassed himself out looking for the KO, but didn’t need to. Just be patient and it woulda came. However, because the big puncher gassed himself he gotten taken down and nullified. (Stipe tried to take Francis down early too, and found no success until he was gassed.
 
Not currently a UFC employee but this is Bader at 235 and in his late 30’s

Jacked white boy
