Cormier vs. Mir

This is the official discussion thread for Cormier vs. Mir. Let's see what you've got.

I'd argue that Hunt and Cormier have different body types.  Hunt was basically just kind of a fat, chubby guy.  Cormier is a little different. Also, Cormier is clearly a very, very dedicated fighter. He probably works a lot harder than some other fighters who naturally look more fit.

Hunt is Samoan he doesn't have much of a choice but to be a big guy. Cormier has a choice has been thinner, trains hard no doubt but probably eats twice as hard. Cormier could probably make 205 on diet alone.

The Tuilagi brothers in Rugby are the perfect example of Samoan freak genetics. 6 of them, all play international rugby with the lightest guy weighing 220 pounds and the heaviest, Henry, weighing in at 282 pounds yet only being 6'1.



That's the youngest brother, Manu Tuilagi above. Only 21 and his legs make Benson's look like toothpicks. 

And people think the 3 Jones brothers are a family of freak athletes...
