starvenger 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 That's the thing I don't get. I'm 265 right now and 6'4". If I lost the fat and built muscle wouldn't I just weigh MORE than I do right now? So how do guys like Forrest and Stephan do it? I have literally the exact same frame and bone structure as those guys. 1st question: Yes, you probably would 2nd question: I think that it's all about what sport you train for. I would think that training for MMA is more akin to the regimen of a decathlete than, say, a football player. You're building the smaller muscles in addition to the large ones, while a football player would me more apt to concentrate on thighs, chest, shoulders and upper arm - the areas used most in the sport. That being said, I wouldn't call that a hard and fast rule, since most fighters that have a wrestling background are generally huge for their size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 Yeah I still don't get how Forrest can be 205 while I'll probably never be below 225 or 230 unless I was just bone thin and lanky. We have the same body type. I just watched the episodes that were on Spike TV and good god I didn't realize how sad the scene with Hammil coming back was the first time I watched it. I genuinely felt really bad for the guy and the looks on everone else's faces(especially bispings) made it even worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have the same body type. Well, according to this interview with Rory Singer Forrest was a triathlete before getting into MMA, so he would've already built up a lot of lean muscle mass.

Mik 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how many fights are there on tomorrow night's show... the two finals and the main event? Or are there others? I just started watching about 3 weeks ago so I'm a little behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 There are more, but they are non-televised, so they will only be shown if there is enough time. Hopefully they will be. Dama, you're not a pro athlete, just face it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 What's the fourth fight that will be shown? Anyone know? The Jardine fight. Too bad, I really want to see Solomon Vs. Luigi, Rory Vs. Ross, and Jesse Vs. Matt. Luigi came in like 1.5 pound over weight, Solomon still agreed to fight him. GO SOLOMON GO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 Solomon should've asked for a stipulation allowing him to wear headgear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JustPassinBy Report post Posted June 24, 2006 I'm just catching up on the marathon today. I think Matt and Bisping are the most likeable guys on the show. I agree with the comment earlier that these two are the money fight for a PPV. Matt's got a great story, is marketable, and really is pretty bad ass (he'd rather break his own arm than tap, which is how he got hurt). Bisping is another guy that has charisma, is marketable, and seems respectable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
