Fat Twitter Man posted:For whatever reason people didn't really admit Rockhold's flaws and limitations as a striker even after Vitor punked him. You can't really just write it off as "TRT" when a guy's entire striking game is shut down like that. vitor is really good .. this thread really sleeps on him. his style isnt pretty but its no joke either

david carmichael posted:Ban all sport for profit why? do u think athletes dont know what their occupational hazards are? dont u think they would have at least made 1 or 2 friends or came into contact with a professional health worker at some point in their career that would tell them about it even if they didnt take the time to find out on their own? people die and get crippled working in regular jobs all the time. and frankly beating the poo poo out of eachother for a living is safer and easier on your body than a lot of them. i agree with the sentiment that there should be more done to educate and protect athletes though

The famous "Big Female Athlete" is Serena Williams, and according to google she's 5'9" and 150 lbs - pretty much the same as Ronda. lots .. track cyclists come to mind. though im sure if their sport called for it they could lose some mass

david carmichael posted:His resting heart rate was 34 BPM, which iirc is freakish even among "actual athletes", not just MMA guys mine is 36. under 30 has been observed. even supposed fraud lance armstrong had 32 edit: sure its low but there are people who dont even train who have heart rates in the 30s, its partly genetic and not necessarily indicative of fitness I.N.R.I fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Feb 9, 2017 |

david carmichael posted:I didn't say low heart rate was indicative of PED use, I said it was indicative of freakish heart health. 34 is on the low end even for endurance athletes. Doesn't mean he took epo, but that's what fueled the rumors no i think im the one not expressing my point properly. what i mean is that while its a true a lower heart rate generally is often a symptom of fitness, its not really a truly reliable one. which is why im saying its too hard to tell anything just from that. its possible to have a heart rate that low without being a serious athlete. my dads is in the low 40s and he's 62 and hasnt done any serious training for anything since i was born (12 years ago  ). i think the world record holder (26 bpm?) is just some normal guy without any health problems too. so while bisping could well be cheating its not something you can tell just from his heart rate

Marching Powder posted:the fight camp cycle is extremely physically and mentally taxing. way more than other sports i've done. after every single fight i've ever had i immediately turn into a slovenly piece of poo poo for a few months and i'm only in the gym like twice a week to do really low key stuff. everyone has peaks and valleys when it comes to motivation, i really think its somewhere the coaching could improve if anything. i suppose the gyms arent employing the fighters that represent them so theres only so much authority they can exercise over them

Marching Powder posted:It's the only interesting first hand experience I can share so I always like to tell it but I had a long chat with Nate in person and he genuinely dislikes fighting. He takes it (admittedly) irrationally personally when people sign a contract to hurt him for money and that's where his animosity towards his opponents stems from. He says he'd be 100%happy just teaching jiu jitsu, smoking weed, and running triathlons, but it just so happens he's one of the best fighters in the world and it pays real well. Im gonna tell him you called him mentally retarded to win a debate with me about smoking weed in competition
