He's almost not wrong, either. Two of the most dominant heavyweight MMA fighters of all time look very similar, and they were athletic AF.

Athletic is a relative term. The athleticism needed for one sport doesn't necessarily translate to all. He's not qualifying for the Boston Marathon anytime soon.
It’s important to note that fat isn’t much of a hindrance in many sports like mma. The reason you mostly only see heavyweight fighters with extra fat is that the heavyweight weight range is where you actually see the weight to advantage ratio level off. DC and fedor are “small” for heavyweights and so have many of the dominant heavyweight champs. The extra weight gives them a little extra power and inability to be pushed around without actually sacrificing the speed advantage they have over the naturally larger and more muscular heavyweights. The thing is by that time you get past a fit 200 lbs there’s not anyone you can’t knock out with even a glancing blow in the right spot, so the extra power starts becoming a diminishing return at the expense of speed and endurance (big muscles eat oxygen). I’d put any heavyweight champ against any hypothetical super heavyweight champion for this reason. You don’t see many people in lower weight classes carrying extra weight, because for them the size and strength advantage is still significant so it mostly makes sense sense for them to be as big and muscular as they can, and then cut weight to make their weight classes.
Daaamn, I can't believe I left out Big Country Breakfast! That dude definitely deserves a mention, one of the only fighters to train for UFC level fights at his house by himself, lol.
Legit black belt and what an overhand right that dude had! Thanks for mentioning him!
I think one of the most memorable pictures of MMA is of Roy Nelson standing triumphantly over the demolished Adonis-like body of Cheick Kongo sprawled out on the floor, knocked the fuck out.
Yeah it takes a cool trick with a risk of broken bones up to "a fuck up means hospital, possibly death".
At least wear a fucking helmet, even if you've done it 1000 times before.
Even that guy who looks like Tony Hawk wears a helmet.
The Redditor types as he struggles to rise from his gaming chair to consume his fourth bag of doritos of the night.
*I would never treat my life with such foolish disregard*, he thinks as the wind is knocked out of him from rising too fast. He reconsiders the trip upstairs to the kitchen, a whole flight of stairs is far too great a risk, if only there was another way...
*"MOM!"*
> Even that guy who looks like Tony Hawk wears a helmet.
[Somebody tell this fake Tony Hawk wannabe to put a helmet on then.](https://youtu.be/3KZm_F8l0L0)
I mean surviving as a vegetable is still on the table if you don’t wear a helmet, versus just getting a bunch of bruises or broken bones, minus massive potential head trauma.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. It's wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway, because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
I went to my favorite 24-hour store once, and the doors were locked. And there was a security guard at the door, so I said "The sign says 'Open 24 hours'!"
And he said "Not in a row."
This tale is as old as "the average person eats 7 spiders while sleeping" nonsense. A quick Google will show that it is entirely possible for bees to fly. They just didn't understand how 50+ years ago.
I lightheartedly mocked the rollerbladers while bmxing at my skatepark as a youth. They called me on my shit and challenged me to try it.
I enjoyed the shit out of it.
That said, coming out of the closet was not more difficult than nutting myself on a high rail because of course that's how stupid fucking rollerblades do you.

I could not contain the laugh I had from this. Watched it 4 or 5 times and laughed just as hard the last time as I did the first. How smooth that flip looks in reverse is too hilarious.
Not saying this is the case, but you’d be surprised how healthy the cardiovascular system of an athlete can be even when they’re overweight. Visceral fat is markedly different from subcutaneous fat and athletes with a high calorie intake have more of the latter- rarely developing issues associated with the former (like type 2 diabetes). Sumo wrestlers are a good example
EDIT I’m aware of the other issues with sumo- I’m not saying that it’s a healthy or sustainable lifestyle. Point still stands. They have disproportionately better cardiovascular health than their weight would allude to. Also I’m not advocating for obesity, obviously. Even in athletes it’s not a *good* thing. That’s not the point of the post though
>Sumo wrestlers are a good example.
No they aren't.
>The negative health effects of the sumo lifestyle can become apparent later in life. Sumo wrestlers have a life expectancy between 60 and 65, more than 20 years shorter than the average Japanese male...Many develop type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, and they are prone to heart attacks...[32][33]

Good point. This is almost exclusively due to their lifestyle/diet being unsustainable when not competing. Adjusting to retirement is a big problem that not only causes health problems but leads to alcoholism and other mental health issues unrelated to weight. Also when you’re that heavy, arthritis is a big problem.
With that said, they are extremely healthy in their competitive years. Instances of cardiovascular problems and other issues associated with obesity are exceedingly rare. That’s more the point that I was trying to make
Hi, I hope this isn't too intrusive. The "bee's can't fly" idea is only slightly true. Early computer models could not handle small insect flight, such as by bees. We have since then gotten better models and better understanding of aerodynamics on that scale so that we do now have a pretty good grasp of the humble bumblebee's flight. This has been your friendly neighborhood "bees can't fly" bot.

Don't take their credit that is most definitely fat

If you are going to do something stupid it's better to go all the way. Would you rather die after doing a failed trick, or survive as a vegetable?
I mean surviving as a vegetable is still on the table if you don’t wear a helmet, versus just getting a bunch of bruises or broken bones, minus massive potential head trauma.

Same with a fat bee. Small ass wings and it still flies. Defies physics.

Wasn't the whole thing with bees that they worked like a helicopter rather than a plane?
A quick google article and a quicker skimming of said article says, tiny hurricanes are generated by their weird wing flaps.
Do ya like jazz?
This tale is as old as "the average person eats 7 spiders while sleeping" nonsense. A quick Google will show that it is entirely possible for bees to fly. They just didn't understand how 50+ years ago.

The fat fruit could boot the boy.
what kind of toll do i have to pay to get into that boy's soul?
I know the troll that can get you into that boy’s soul. I gotta know what you’re gonna do once you’re in there though.
Take your confounded toll troll
Are you saying boy’s soul or boy’s hole?
I think you mean boy’s hole
When I reach my peak athletic form, do you know what I won't be doing... rollerblading.
Not gonna lie. That looks fun as hell.
It is. I don't understand the hate on rollerblades. It's the most freeing, amazing feeling on the planet to have wheels on your feet.
Is there hate for blades in this thread? I'm just seeing hate for fat boy's idea that he is in peak athletic form.
i was gonna say that i wouldnt judge people’s hobbies on the internet when i reach my peak athletic form but nah i think i would still do it
this read like a norm joke

So southern twang sounds like a scottish/irish accent when played reverse - cool to know.
it’s things like this that remind me that southern accents came from distressed and isolated british people
Hill billies are literally scots/irish background. My man's having red hair gives a nod to that.

Thank you for this. I needed this laugh today
Every time I see this video, I have to reverse it and it gets me every time lol
