    Well he has a hard time making 185 so if he’s going to fight at HW he will need to put on size to compete with those guys. He couldn’t ko LHW he surely isn’t going to put a HW down. So he will gain weight to be a HW he won’t be able to make LHW anymore.

    It doesnt matter how good looking she is, some where, some one is tired of her shit.

    Light travels faster then sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    Great place to start researching ! http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-s...-database.html

    He can bulk up on Ho-Hos and cream sodas all the way up to 240 but he's still going to have legs like Tweety Bird.

    Having calves like pipe cleaners was to his advantage at light heavy because he could have more bulk above the waist than most of his opponents. But now he'll be facing men with upper bodies that shame Charles Atlas. Some of them even have to diet to make 265. He's now fought 14 5-round LH fights (beginning with Rua @UFC 128) and scored four TKOs (including Cormier II, which is now an NC on account of Bones got popped for PEDs). That's 29% of his finishes from TKOs but overall 50% of all heavyweight fights end in a KO/TKO. And his only KOs were before he came to the UFC.

    Skinny legs aside I don't see that he's got the one tool that yields the best results in the heavyweight division. Could be he's in over his head. It also could be he has a plan.

    BTW, if you didn't see it, DW has remarked that he isn't opposed to Bones fighting for the belt in his first Hwt contest.
