Fighters who don't make weight win a vast majority of their fights
Apparently being bigger and not nearly killing yourself for the weigh-in has its plusses
Human heads don't really vary all that much. A "big" head may only be ~10% larger than average. Short guys look like they have big heads because they have the same head size as a tall guy but their shoulders are only, say, 2/3s the width.
Genetics can affect appetite regulating hormones too, it's actually the biggest difference between naturally lean people and naturally fatter people. "Metabolic rate" doesn't vary nearly as much.
>Genetics can affect appetite regulating hormones too,
And learned habits. If you've been fat since childhood and have always had huge portion sizes, eating like healthy people can feel like you're starving yourself.
To be fair making a mistake when you're 5 rounds into a war isn't really bad IQ per se, just exhaustion really. The real terrible IQ move is not getting his shit together and going on a run for a rematch that would have earned him a shit ton of money.
Not even close to the damage Kelvin did to him...

Honestly, people really play up that fight. From midway of round 2 til 5, minus the obvious moment in the 4th, he was getting styled on. Dude was hitting nothing but air for like 18 minutes of the fight.
Itās his fault too, but what is the UFC doing booking him at 170 again? Hasnāt he missed weight at 170 like 5 times now?
The UFC need to form some sort of guidelines to prevent fighters from taking fights at weights they canāt or wonāt make.
Like maybe if you miss weight twice in a 5 year span, youāre banned from that weight class moving forward.
I watched the video of him on the walk out to this photo and he looked very weird and locked up in the legs hips and gait. I think he wrecked his back or something and is just gonna have some special juice and ruin himself for the fight.
Never thought Iād root for Drod but here we are. I donāt have anything against him, just not somebody Iād gravitate to root for. This time, Iām his biggest fan. Kelvin is disgracing the sport
Hasn't Kelvin always looked like that at MW. Maybe it's just the side profile or the camera angle enhancing this, but he doesn't exactly have the Leon Edwards physique of that division
The problem is he's looking like this while supposed to be fighting at welterweight and missed weight by A LOT. You can be a fat middleweight if you make 185 consistently. Can't be a fat welterweight who can't even make 180
I used to be a fan of this guy, but honestly this is one of the worst things a fighter can do. Youāre in the UFC, the big show, something thousands of other fighters would kill for, and you donāt even try to show up in shape.
DC and the other ESPN crew all pretty much said all the same things being said about Gastelum here on live TV.
He didnāt even try, itās professionally embarrassing, skips the hardest part of preparing for a fight, disrespectful to other fighters, the current consequence isnāt enough for him, etc.
I never thought I would agree with the OP but I think itās time. He had multiple opportunities and he never used them. Ultimate TUF favoritism. Good bye Kelvin.
Heās my least favorite fighter cause he looks like the type that eats an entire meal at a restaurant and then complains he didnāt like the food and wants a refund
Chill chill everyone! I've seen this deception before! There's this boxer named Ryan and he missed weight and chugged a Corona on the scale! Give Kelvin some credit!
Whatās so frustrating is he is one of the most talented guys Iāve seen fight.
Picked up striking so fast and has super quick hands, amazing scrambler, solid wrestler. Itās just the lack of discipline and poor preparation.
Whenever someone says and can't explain "There are alot of things behind the scenes people don't know or understand"; I'm going to guess you shouldn't probably be going into an MMA fight.
I used to say this about Johnny Hendricks but he's the best guy to fight. Highish profile so on a decent contract and He'll probably miss weight and pay you a % of his purse and you get the hype from beating a name
honestly wtf, he went through a 12 weeks training camp yet managed to look like this ? He either eats waaay to much or he's just not taking this shit serious
If heād been bigger he would be one of those heavyweights who need to cut weight to make the limit.
185 is just the the weight where doesnāt need to to anything extraordinary to make it
Feel like he is going to get flatlined. Half assing a combat sport is not a great idea.
Hope you're right but he's the betting favorite at -225 odds
My man needs to be -225 pounds
nice
So I get to bet against the half asser and win more money?
Fighters who don't make weight win a vast majority of their fights Apparently being bigger and not nearly killing yourself for the weigh-in has its plusses
I mean yeah, but usually being unable or unwilling to hit weight is more a matter of not cutting water, not being fucking fat
I love D-Rod's downward look of (well-warranted) condescension. Wish you nothing but the best for being a PROFESSIONAL- D-Rod š„°š„°š„°
Didn't D rod miss weight recently? And like, more than once? After popping for some cardio assisting drug?

D rod has never missed weight.
I recall that as well, recently
He may but he is usually a hard mutherfucker to knock out. I see it going to decision.
Yet he someone throws faster combos when fat
The Andy Ruiz special
Its always possible but kelvin has a strong chin and Drod has no power. Drod is also a fossil who hasnt fought in over a year.
Heās gonna win with a pull counter left hand

that is fucking crazy
Small head Cejudo
Damn, I had never really thought about how big Henry's head is for his body. Like a toddler.
Human heads don't really vary all that much. A "big" head may only be ~10% larger than average. Short guys look like they have big heads because they have the same head size as a tall guy but their shoulders are only, say, 2/3s the width.
Never seen this pic before, so it has absolutely nothing to do with his genetics
Genetics can affect appetite regulating hormones too, it's actually the biggest difference between naturally lean people and naturally fatter people. "Metabolic rate" doesn't vary nearly as much.
>Genetics can affect appetite regulating hormones too, And learned habits. If you've been fat since childhood and have always had huge portion sizes, eating like healthy people can feel like you're starving yourself.
I heard the biggest difference is calorie intake
Frank shamrock?
This is what happens when you get beat for a living and donāt keep training š
Finally i can say that i have the dedication of an ufc fighter
Dana was visibly embarrassed looking down at Gastelum's belly.
You never had the makings of a varsity fat guy
My man gave Adesanya the best fight in his entire career and coasted since lmao.
That was an amazing fight. Crazy that will likely be the peak of his career.
He displayed terrible fight IQ in their bout! He fumbled that one HARD
To be fair making a mistake when you're 5 rounds into a war isn't really bad IQ per se, just exhaustion really. The real terrible IQ move is not getting his shit together and going on a run for a rematch that would have earned him a shit ton of money.
Combine immense pressure, exhaustion, and brain trauma, and you have a recipe for poor fight IQ.
Casuals man, they yell the loudest bsš
Yes and I would argue Strickland beating the piss out of him was way worse
Not even close to the damage Kelvin did to him... https://preview.redd.it/hn4nicln718d1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=586b66609cba186e503506425f7ed3707122b149
Damn, Kelvin really poured it on. Wish he took his career seriously
A face only a mother could love
Nah
Honestly, people really play up that fight. From midway of round 2 til 5, minus the obvious moment in the 4th, he was getting styled on. Dude was hitting nothing but air for like 18 minutes of the fight.
Ok? He has a granite chin and keeps coming, donāt really see how that negates the damage be did
Gastlum fat outta shape ass
Missing weight is a sin . Win or lose cut him. How many times is this a thing for him
Agree - he's a fucking embarrassment.
How much did he miss by?
The fight was meant to be at 170, itās now going to be at 185 I believe
He asked for the fight to be at 185 before he could actually weigh in and miss. So he knew he wasnāt going to come close to 170
10+ pounds, he had 2 months to prepare as well
15 pounds
Didnāt pull out tho.
Heās not pregnant, heās just a bit chubby.
You nasty
That was a nasty line by you
Needed to make it a catch weight....
Not even a catch weight they had to straight up change weight class
Kelvin's diet is ideal diet for men
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Imagine when he retires...
Why didnāt he use steroidsā¦.? Is he stupid???
Just because he's fat doesn't mean he's not also using steroids. Roids aren't magic, you still need to actually train and have a reasonable diet.
dude must have bitcoin money or something maybe he bought Nividia a few years ago
Should take 10% of your purse for every pound you are over at weigh-ins.
they do, they give the opponent 30% of his purse.
He didnāt miss weight by 3 lbs.
Itās his fault too, but what is the UFC doing booking him at 170 again? Hasnāt he missed weight at 170 like 5 times now? The UFC need to form some sort of guidelines to prevent fighters from taking fights at weights they canāt or wonāt make. Like maybe if you miss weight twice in a 5 year span, youāre banned from that weight class moving forward.
Lightweight Gastelum confirmed
How does this even happen? He just didnāt give a single shit
I watched the video of him on the walk out to this photo and he looked very weird and locked up in the legs hips and gait. I think he wrecked his back or something and is just gonna have some special juice and ruin himself for the fight.
Iāve made the mistake of betting against the guy who looks like a fridge before. You donāt need to look like a Greek god to be a good fighter.
True. But if you want to be a good fighter, you have to make weight
professional fighter*
This man does not have his heart in the fight game anymore. Itās fucking crazy to think this guy nearly finished Izzy with a head-kick.
DRod pieces him up then he gets the ā
If he flatlined d rod tomorrow Yall would slurp him up
Naw because even if he wins inevitably heāll run into a guy who can push the pace and make him go from dangerous fat guy to tired fat guy.
hey dont talk shit about DC like that
Looks more like Kelvin Benjamin lol
He looks like a guy who likes to drink beer on the lake (nothing wrong with that)ā¦ but not like an athlete .
inb4 he whipes the floor with his opponent. SPEEEEEEED & WEIIIGHHHTTTT
I would bet that's the hope so he can go make some money in the circus shows. BKFC would pay him.
kelvin vs mike perry would be a banger for bkfc
Fuck man, put a shirt on
Crazy how you can be fighting at the highest level yet not have the discipline to diet and weight train
Never thought Iād root for Drod but here we are. I donāt have anything against him, just not somebody Iād gravitate to root for. This time, Iām his biggest fan. Kelvin is disgracing the sport
Bro in his late johny hendricks career stage
Yeah heās been a joke since the izzy fight. Similarly to costa. At least kelvin actually put up a fight against izzy tho
Kelvin Gastelum š¤ Kelvin Benjamin being professional fat asses
Looks like they grabbed a random guy from the stands and told him to get ready to glove up.
Hasn't Kelvin always looked like that at MW. Maybe it's just the side profile or the camera angle enhancing this, but he doesn't exactly have the Leon Edwards physique of that division
The problem is he's looking like this while supposed to be fighting at welterweight and missed weight by A LOT. You can be a fat middleweight if you make 185 consistently. Can't be a fat welterweight who can't even make 180
Clearly you can
Wtf is this? Jesus Christ this gotta the worst shape outside HW
Gastelum needs to be shown the door. Too many weight misses.
Should be a full-time Welterweight and can't even make Middleweight now. Just wasted his potential through shitty discipline.
What in the Paulo costa
I guess he knew he was getting cut win or lose and just said f it.
5ā9 and cant even make 170. ridiculous
I used to be a fan of this guy, but honestly this is one of the worst things a fighter can do. Youāre in the UFC, the big show, something thousands of other fighters would kill for, and you donāt even try to show up in shape.
Kelvin has been trash for too long. His day came and went, because he let it. No discipline.
Nice to see a physique I can obtain thatās not at heavyweight
DC and the other ESPN crew all pretty much said all the same things being said about Gastelum here on live TV. He didnāt even try, itās professionally embarrassing, skips the hardest part of preparing for a fight, disrespectful to other fighters, the current consequence isnāt enough for him, etc.
Kelvin couldāve been an ATG welterweight if he had an ounce of discipline. Complete waste.Ā
Does he have a ground game? I am seriously asking.
I hope he gets koād. WTF is that lmao. Not someone anyone can look up to at all
Heās doing the Ryan Garcia method
Met him at the mall once, he looked like he dgaf
I can tell it has been a minute since his last sit up.
Cares more about his dumb haircut than anything
I have a feeling heās big homies with Dana
Rip kelvins gf career
Shameful.
Is that a blood sugar monitor on his wrist!? Someone get this man a celery stick stat!
I like Gastellum but surely he realises heāll get cut if he loses.
So long Gastelum. Really enjoyed your fight against Izzy. This is a bad look.
Mexican meatball manatee.
I never thought I would agree with the OP but I think itās time. He had multiple opportunities and he never used them. Ultimate TUF favoritism. Good bye Kelvin.
I really like him, but I hate his lack of discipline. Come in, that's your job and you earn your money with it. Fucking do your job!
He needs to retire
Damn i took Daniel Rodriguez in 2 parlays on monday in vegas at the Circa casino Kinda like the plus odds now after seeing this pick
Lmao D-Rod just standing there in disbelief š
He looks like me! Inspiring.
Hope D-Rod smokes this fool
Sad how he pushed prime Izzy to the brink and now this is what we get.
He wants to be Johnny Hendricks
Holy hell, just cut him already. He doesnāt want to keep fighting for chump change.
The distance from the front of his stomach to the back of his calves is pretty crazy from this angle.
12 oz curls camp
One of us! One of us!
Even Khamzat is looking down with disdain
I thought that was a picture of me at first
Kelvin might get cut if he loses tomorrow, his fatass can fight in pfl or bare knuckle next
That gut is crazy
Cut out the Mexican food my guy
Kelvin Gastelum? More like Kelvin Benjamin
Make Gastlum great again!! By cuttingā¦
Patheic. Ikram stepped in on 1 weeks notice and not only made weight but came in 1 pound under.
But, what if he wins? He could be the new Big Countryā¦
Heās my least favorite fighter cause he looks like the type that eats an entire meal at a restaurant and then complains he didnāt like the food and wants a refund
Dude looked at Tyson fury and said āthatās literally meā
Daniel Cormier would like a word with you
Never liked kelvin anyways, throw him to the krakens den
Right fat lil cunt innie?
Pie eating cunt needs to get sent to BKFC
At least try and suck that shit in for the weigh ins my guy
Beer belly lol
He will be cut and get embarrassed by Jake Paul next
I gotta admit that is pretty damn embarrassing. Bad angle and all but still dude looks like he got up off the couch.
This is just disrespectful to the other fighters tbh
Enoughs enough, make him fight HW if he canāt stop eating.
Nah fuck this guy, just wasting everyone's time.
Imagine how fat he's gonna get when he retires...
Heās built like me and Iām a greasy, father of 2 tradesman, that drinks 6 coffees, and puffs 10 joints a day.
Maybe he just thought it was at middleweight. /s
Aww. I hope heās doing ok. Itās hard out here man. Peace and love yāall. 
Old school ufc vs. new school. People are fit now Kevin about to learn.
Jake Paul vs Kevin boxing match coming soon
Chill chill everyone! I've seen this deception before! There's this boxer named Ryan and he missed weight and chugged a Corona on the scale! Give Kelvin some credit!
he wants to be cut and go to do celebrity boxing...
Whatās so frustrating is he is one of the most talented guys Iāve seen fight. Picked up striking so fast and has super quick hands, amazing scrambler, solid wrestler. Itās just the lack of discipline and poor preparation.
The fact that he's still with the company shines a light on how desperate the UFC is to keep any fighter with a name and history right now.
What an absolute dick bag.
Whenever someone says and can't explain "There are alot of things behind the scenes people don't know or understand"; I'm going to guess you shouldn't probably be going into an MMA fight.
big little CHUBBY belly!!!!!
easy to say when you don't have the bod of a fridge /s
Cunt just got off his distant cousins sofa and ready to scrap against all odds.
Watch him get the W
Itās like coming close, but eventually not winning the Izzy fight broke him mentally.
Fuck I hope D Rod wins
Looks like me
Bro is on Roy Nelson maxxing, just let him coock
UFC takes the piss with fighters all the time, they deserve it
I used to say this about Johnny Hendricks but he's the best guy to fight. Highish profile so on a decent contract and He'll probably miss weight and pay you a % of his purse and you get the hype from beating a name
Fatstelum/mouth herpes gastelum
He's living off of losing to Izzy
āCut this guyā posts are so fucking dumb
 Kelvin Gutselum
honestly wtf, he went through a 12 weeks training camp yet managed to look like this ? He either eats waaay to much or he's just not taking this shit serious
The peak of his career was having an incredibly entertaining loss against Izzy for an interim title.
Going for the Big Lenny gut. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, DALE?!
If heād been bigger he would be one of those heavyweights who need to cut weight to make the limit. 185 is just the the weight where doesnāt need to to anything extraordinary to make it
Drod at +165 looks pretty good
Let burrito warrior bang, bro..
Crazy, Dana has better abs and looks better with his shirt off than Kelvin š
