Why Do Some Big MMA Fighters Have No Chests?

And, also, am I on crack? I don't remember Carwin having the belt. Must have been an interim deal.

you're right. he beat Mir for the interim belt.

 

[Here's Johnny!]

in order for pectoral muscles to be the main mover, your hands have to be distal from your shoulders

having broader shoulders means your hands are distal less often than if your shoulders are more narrow

ergo having broader shoulders means your pectorals are used less often

you can post pictures all day with the camera below jones pecs aimed upwards with the light source above them giving a sense of depth with shadows

again, it has to do with form. wtf are you on? so if you have broad shoulders and don't know how to perform a workout you won't hit the pectoral muscle? really... so if you have thin shoulders and you don't know how to do a workout with correct form you won't use the pectoral muscle either.

dicussing this in angles proves my point that you either have no actual clue what your talking about, or you have completely convinced yourself some idiotic shit.

again, look at every guy with large pecks, they will also have broad shoulders.... show me some big pecked thin shouldered men...


and I am just talking about proportioned... Jon doesn't have small pecks idk why your convinced of that lol... he doesn't have huge pecks but he is not some small chested guy like bigfoot.

in reality most of this comes down to genetics, diet, and workout routine. I Promise it has nothing to do with the size of the shoulders...

only time im checkin out fighters chests is during the WMMA bouts

Most likely they don't do bench presses or dips.
Look at some Olympic style weight lifters.

because training fast twitch fibers nets you no growth.

and big muscles take up too much oxygen.

Right, because sprinters' training never builds their muscles..

Slows down punching speed and hinders technique and flexibility

lulz.

 

[countswagula]

I'm guessing Werdum and Shogun don't do an awful lot of weight training

 

[WhatAboutBob]

They don't focus on bench press to get ready for a fight.

Sarcasm is hard to get across on the interwebz

Lot of American, and notably from New England, have French origins.

ha no one would admit that, its like being born with one nut...

Really not a necessary press group for MMA. Shoulders have much more significance in pressing power in the application of MMA.

Yup champs are only pretty good and not great

Shane Carwin and Brock Lesnar were not "great" fighters.

 

[DhalpsdaDocta]

i noticed that every fighter has small nipples...maybe a sign that the non used male nipple is slowely fading away in alpha males

 

[Benoitthegr8]

While chasing chickens is superb for conditioning, timing and footwork it does not build pectorals

 

[markg171]

I don't see any UFC HW champions who have more title defenses than Brock so please tell me how he's not "great"

Carwin's more debateable, but he's still one of only 15 men who have worn UFC HW gold. That qualifies him as great for me

They were good heavyweights. At the highest level, they weren't around long and they lost as much as they won. That's not greatness. It devalues the term considering these fighters "great".

 

[campbecc]

they are just training smart, building the muscles that are more important to a fighter.

At the highest level. As in other elite HWs. Shane Carwin was 2-2 against top 15 HWs, 1-2 against top 10 HWs. Brock Lesnar was 4-3 against top 20 HWs. 3-3 against top 10 HWs. That doesn't suggest greatness to me. Unless "great" in combat sports just means high level for a few years, now.
