Re: ***** OFFICIAL UFC 111 thread - Saturday, March 27th, 2010 - GSP/HARDY main event
Anderson doesn't walk around that fucking heavy, he's skinny. He looks fat when he goes up to 205 you guys are delirious lol
Yeah ... I think what alot of us forget to remember (self included) is that Anderson walks around at 208 - 215lbs quite often ... so he's considerably above his 185LB weight class ... and trains properly and knows how to effectively cut weight, so it isn't a burden on him. And at 185lbs he moves swiftly ... hell ... I wasn't sure what to expect back in 2008 when he stepped in there with JAMES IRVIN at 205lbs ... and he made quick work of son in 1 minute. And he didn't look heavyset/overweight/slow(er) either ... and I'm sure he does fine in training/preparation when he trains with his team and other associates and is probably cutting down from 215 - 210 - 205 - 200 - 195 - 190 leading into the eventual weigh-in for 185 come the Friday leading up to whichever Saturday night he's chosen to main-event.
* Hopefully we'll see him in there again soon ... as we haven't had the joy of watching the "Anderson of old" in recent times considering he hasn't been challenged by the likes of PATRICK COTE / THALES LEITES / JAMES IRVIN / FORREST GRIFFIN / others. The only guys we've probably enjoyed watching him do battle with in recent years = NATE MARQUARDT & DAN HENDERSON. Marquart is still relevant and up there as possible contenders, whereas Henderson has moved on for greener pastures in STRIKEFORCE and is battling Jake Shields in April 2010.
