How Khalil Rountree Went From 300lbs to Being in the UFC | Joe Rogan

[@lowdenjake]

Absolute king shit. I went from 330 to 200. The amount of respect I have for others who have lost insane amounts of weight is astronomical. It’s one thing to get that big, it’s another to completely change it. The mental aspect is harder than the physical one, meaning eating clean is really very simple. The mental hurdles of “will my skin be ok?,” “will I ever be where I want to be?,” etc are really most of the battle. Patience is 100% required, as well and the internal desire to change, and the strength to stay the course.

[@MaxPowers2.0]

I COMPLETELY understand the mindset of a man who doesn't like confrontation but is drawn to combat sports. It seems paradoxical but it really isnt. I feel like its not necessarily the confrontation that people avoid, it's the artificiality of the confrontation, and consequently the lack of a true resolution. Any confrontation requires an expenditure of energy/time/cognitive resources and if you don't anticipate a satisfactory resolution you will become reluctant to waste energy on confrontation. A physical confrontation on the other hand is one of the most true and instinctual forms of confrontation one can experience. There is no room for dishonesty and bullshit. If ur not serious you can he hurt badly. And a physical confrontarion pretty much guarantees some form of lasting resolution that comes with some deep instinctual understanding. Its not some cognitive mess of "thoughts" and confabulatory conclusions. It's an understanding that reaches deep. And I think deep down, and many fighters and martial arts practitioners have echoed these thoughts, fighters seek a deeper form of truth. An honesty that can only really exist between 2 men in a cage a ring whatever ready to die, where there is literally no room for lies, where it is practically impossible to lie. You can lie with you mouth but not with your intent, not with your actions. For me personally it's not the confrontation in and of itself that I loathe. It's the lies and bullshit that seem to permeate EVERY single social interaction.

That ring tone is the old school "news desk" or "breaking news" bumper music.

[@ariqrestyawan23]

It took me well over 2 years to lose just under 40 lbs and already do I feel much better now than I did back then. This guy really lost way more in less time, becoming one hell of a fighter in the process. Khalil you a king 👑

[@NestingSpider]

200-205 pounds down to 135...light-heavyweight down to bantamweight... I'm SO MUCH HAPPIER with 60-65 pounds less to carry.

[@vladimircrist2297]

You are the size of small woman. Nothing to be happy about. A man is 200+ sorry to break your reality little one. Even if 20% body fat it’s better than being lighter. Ancient Gladiators and more actually put on a small layer of fat on purpose because it protects veins and acts more for a meat shield vs blades and blows of any kind. If becoming a woman is your goal then sure being below 200 is fine but that’s your choice if you want to be seen as a small boy or closer to a woman :).

The way he talks and presents himself is the COMPLETE opposite of how he fights which is why I like this dude

This is why I love MMA. It’s not like other sports where you need to be some genetic freak to have success. All you need is to be tough and be driven.
