Fuck that was an awesome night. That Sanchez fight was probably one of the best fights I've ever seen. But the Nelson fight was a bore Posted via RS Mobile
Like Rogan said on the card, I would love to see a SPORTS SCIENCE done on Cain's Cardio, he weighs the same as JDS, shorter, looks unassuming (he's not rocking a bunch of muscles), and yet he's relentless.
Speaking of which, I'm always intrigued by fighters' physiques relative to their body weight. I.e. DC is 220 and he looks way bigger than Cain who is 240. Maybe its because I've taken a keen interest in nutrition...
You have to remember though that the weigh-in weights are not indicative of their fight day weights. I remember seeing a chart from a recent event in Brazil and the weight variation was about +10 lbs to almost +40 lbs over their weigh-in weight. Lombard is probably one of them as he looked to be 200 lbs easy.
As for physiques, it comes done to more genetics too - some people can get cut and shredded more easily than others.

I completely agree with you on this, however with heavyweights that aren't near the upper limit is a different case, as I am assuming there is no need to cut weight. JDS is around 240 but I don't think he cuts weight; he's just more muscular than Cain, what's nuts is that someone who is 6ft can carry 240lbs at that pace. I saw them at the Houston Rockets locker room and the guy is Aaron Brooks' height (who is barely 6ft and is tiny for NBA standards)
Also, do they ever talk about what the optimal weight is for each weight class? The common weight cut is around 10-20lbs, but it seems to be that this amount applies to Welterweights as well as Light Heavyweights, which is interesting considering the (general) height difference.
