what fighters have you met whos "size" exceeded your expectations in a positive way

[bjpenngoat]

I met Weidman once and I couldnt believe how tall he is. I swear I know he is listed at 6'2 but he seems 6'4 in person just huge with a massive head. He seemed very thin that suprised me, but he is super tall.

FEdor was massively built, even though he looks "soft" in the cage/ring I swear in person he looks like a monster...the true definition of TST.

Josh BArnett is huge too. He looks like a flabby guy on television but he seemed SKINNY in person and this was 5 years ago that I met him.

I met kenflo that same night, you would never know this guy was a pro fighter he is so pedestrian looking in real life. He is listed at 5'10 but he isnt that tall. I would say hes maybe 5'8. Super nice guy.

Are you talking about fighters who need:

 

[PabloMEX]

Nothing like wrestling with a massive guy not wearing a proper cup/jock set up.

Ah ha haha. Nice thread title

Ryan Bader is deceptively huge. Big dude.

I always thought he looked more like a substitute teacher than a fighter, so it was interesting reading a real life account of him.

This. Rockhard was one girthy Mofo.

It's been a few years but Tim Kennedy is a tank

I met Hector Lombard at UFC 149 and he was way shorter than I expected, like 5'6. I towered over him.

It affected me positively because at that moment, I knew he was a manlet, and that I could take him.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

I saw Robbie Lawler at an event last March when Mendes starched Lamas. He was HUGE. He was definitely 200+ lbs.

Michael Johnson was also at the event and he was actually a lot smaller than I would have expected only a bit taller than Anik's who was interviewing him

 

[ARONAbeetFEDOR]

This size exceeds my expectations in a positive way.

 

[Gamer2k4]

Anthony Pettis (and his brother) sometimes show up at my gym, and he looks like a normal guy. I understand fighting weight isn't truly representative of actual weight, but looking at him you'd think he was 185 or so, or at least nowhere near 155.

I saw Bigfoot on a PPV. He looked pretty big.

Keep your right up and just jab him to death.

I remember he was walking in, can't remember the fight but yeah, he is a fucking giant, stone headed giant. Also, When I watched Travis Vs Alistair, that was crazy, Travis is a fucking giant, but I guess he's part hawaian so no surprise there.
