If gsp puts on 30-40 lbs of muscle I still see him getting murdered by stipe/JDS/rothwell or pretty much any top HW. He wouldn't be anything like the georges at WW. Same for Anderson & bj. The whole idea is just silly.

Ive often wondered why gsp never had Rory jump on his shoulders and wear a trench coat then challenge the UFC HW champion to a streetfight

Full horsemeat Ubereem > Econoreem any day. Imagine if he consulted Chael, and added Epo to his horsemeat.. he'd be 280 lbs shredded with Mighty Mouse Cardio.

I just watched a kung fu movie where one guy had his arms amputated by an evil Kung Fu Master, and another guy had his legs amputated by the same evil Kung Fu Master.
Together, they joined forces and learned a special style of Kung Fu, the guy with arms helping the with guy no arms and the guy with legs helping the guy with no legs, to defeat the evil master.

Well that's easy, because it's the biggest myth in MMA.

True, but the argument could also be made that without Ubereem, Econoreem wouldn't be making the money he is currently making. Part of his draw was his superhuman physique.

When you say Ubereem you need to include his mindset and fight iq
Ubereem was dumb and cocky as fuck
He gassed as well
econoreem still maintained the skills, but added fight iq, cardio, defense, and great coaching to boot.
Econoreem > Ubereem > > > 205 Reem

I can see that argument for GSP and especially BJ. I think GSP could get to a lean 220 and be great Fedor sized. Anderson, though, has the frame to be HUGE. He could get to just slightly smaller than Ubereem.

Nah, Ubereem wasn't dumb as fuck. He made great decisions while not gassed, the only bad decision he made was not being careful with his gas tank. But there were tons of great decisions he did make. He didn't wreck havoc before gassing purely because of muscle power, but a lot because of striking prowess and even the occasional grappling which require good decision making.

I guess I can buy that, but I mainly had the gas part in mind when I said dumb as fuck lol.

I can't think of any full Ubereem fight where he gassed.
He gassed when he cycled off before fights -- vs Bigfoot for example -- and had the testosterone levels of a 10 year old girl. When he was full juiced like vs Lesnar, he wasn't gassing.

Well I guess if you're 5'3 you just can't do it. But these guys 5'9+ why not try it? If being the best mattered to me, I'd have to try it.
I could honestly see Conor doing this. I don't think anyone else but Overeem has the balls to try though. Well, when he did have balls
The balls to try? Were you being intentionally ironic?

I guess it depends whether you want to hold the HW belt for a year or another belt for a few years, because the Baddest Man On The Planet moniker seems to only last 1-2 title defences at most and keeps changing hands. It's such a stupid title.

Why he would be morbidly obese at 56yo, buddy? If anything he would be fitter than you because he is an athlete and he would have the money and the know to get on that TRT, and you would be on sherdog talking shit.

Because he's not gonna be 240 lbs shredded @ 56, but he will still keep eating the same amount.

Why would he eat the same amount? By that logic fat people would never lose weight. Big news: you get morbidly obese if you let yourself go.

Let's face it. The best fighter in the world is the best heavyweight in the world. All these guys are claiming they want to be the best then they fight at like 170 lbs.
Imagine GSP using his few years off to pull an Ubereem, come back and be HW champ. Why not?
Imagine BJ coming back looking like Jeff Monson and taking the HW belt.
Imagine uber-Anderson coming in to claim his throne as the real GOAT.
Imagine Fedor without a size disadvantage.
Overeem proved that it can be done.
