Why does cain velasquez look fat

In an interview with BloodElbow. Heavyweights don't want to hear that. Guys like Cain [Velasquez] that are extremely dominant, because he's such a genetic freak, I can still say, and any sports science person in the industry will agree, he's not competing at his optimal body weight. He may have good results with his competition performance, but truly, that's not an optimal body weight.

Velasquez, who has the physique of an average Joe, directly falls in the genetic freak category mostly due to his insane work capacity. There are fighters competing at an optimal body fat range at lighter weight classes who still lack the cardiovascular output capabilities of Velasquez. Heavyweight great Fedor Emelianenko was given a pass as an undersized heavyweight over the years. There is obviously no reason to fix what already works.

With the way this guy trains, when he's back in the gym there's no way he won't drop weight.

SherdogGoat , Apr 30, Nothing out of the norm when coming off surgery and not in peak fitness. Which is when most people are used to seeing him. Not surprised myself. Just hope he's back to norm come fight time etc. He'll be in shape to destroy Werdum in November don't worry.

As said, there is plenty of time to train and it is Cain that we are talking about. He is coming off a surgery and hasn't been working out, it is natural for him to gain some weight He will be fine come fight time. You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content.
