Calculated UFC 158 weigh in observations

[TheCalculator]

Here's the notes I took as I watched the weigh ins.

I use the weigh ins to tweak my vital handicap by + or - 10-20%


George Roop looks enemic -- energy is off -- Reuben Duran -- looked healthy
Tj Dillashaw looked normal and healthy - Issei Tamura looked normal
Rick Story looked soft and off cell tech vs Quinn Mulhern looked normal came in a bit under weight.
Makdessi looked normal vs. Cruickshank looked healthy and energetic
Jordan Mein looked confident and healthy vs. Dan Miller looked cracked out
Carvahlo looked strong vs. Elkins looked small and weak
Bobby Voehlker looked healthy VS. Patrick Cote looked almost drugged 1st weight cut down to this weight
Mike Ricci fighting in home town Tristar looked healthy Colin Fletcher weird vibe
Nick Ring looked sick (but he always looks that way) vs. Chris Camozzi looked normal
Jake Ellenberger looked motivated vs Nate Marquardt looked happy and energetic
Condit looked good and normal in good shape vs. Hendricks energetic
GSP vs. Diaz Looked normal

BIGGEST WEIGH IN FADES:
ROOP
STORY
RING
COTE

Miller looked like shit....and dry mouthed as fok!
Im gonna check Story again since i was fading him already.

[Vaughany]

Yes, when I saw Story he seemed smaller and softer than I remember him being in fights against Hendricks and Thiago Alves...but maybe he looked the same at the weigh-ins for those fights

Story is off the sauce.

That's a HUUUUGE game changer. That's a 30-60% drop in strength plus the psychological edge is gone (that's fundamentally why Overeem lost his last fight against Silva).

Here's the shot from 153:


Another one from 2009 (he was really "peaking" back then muscle mass wise):


This was today:



He's about 2 or 3% bodyfat higher and that's his best bodybuilding pose. lol

In this shot he looks even weaker:

[Vaughany]

yeah thts what I thought

[El Nino]

Roop always looks like a zombie. Guy looks like one leg kick could shatter him.

[Hannibal]

I thought elkins looked quite a bit leaner than calvalho...but elkins is known for his grappling strength, persistance, and durability
He's a bit taller than pato so maybe that's where the diff is. Elkin's rib cage also looked insanely drawn in, which I expect to fill back up by tonight

or he could shatter his own leg a la corey hill. disturbingly skinny.

[gabe]

Roop's energy seemed great to me, what do you mean when you say it seemed off?

[gabe]

Armenian legs don't shatter. They're protected by a thick layer of hair.

[NunyaBidness]

How does an Armenian drop weight classes?

He shaves his arms.

[gabe]

eh it hurts to see you tell jokes that would be considered awful by a sixth graders standards =(

You're a pro home cook, don't sell yourself short.

How old are you? I always thought you'd be anywhere from 28-34.

[gabe]

btw- i left a milet mignon steak in kosher salt for over an hour, washed it off, added pepper and cooked it... tasted way too salty.

[Grabaka]

I say 32-39.

[Educ8d Degener8]

Given Nunya's familiarity with MASK toys, it's short lived run on TV, and target demographic - I peg him at 33 - 38.

[NunyaBidness]

I recently found my first grey ball hair if that helps.

mid-30s

That's some penetrating detective work right there.

Got a new range this week. Had 5 dishes cooking in the stove top and 2 going in the double oven at the same time last night.

Felt like a penetrating BOSS!

mid-30s

That means 36-37

[gabe]

How old are the rest of you? I guess I'm one of the youngest at 26

Use corn starch instead and put the steak in the freezer before grilling.

[Sacrelicious]

Probably the 2nd youngest, I'm 25.
