Also tells you something about his early fights. If he's 214 as a forward in Rugby League (guessing he was a prop) and is doing mma matches on the side, then there is no way he's cutting weight like mad in fights. He must have been fighting middle or light heavyweights as a 5'6 guy and winning. No wonder he's so strong when he drops to featherweight to hold guys like Jose Aldo to the cage and have him look like he can't do anything.

I don't think people realize how insane this is, he is like 5'6 height, and was at 214. He fought at 185, which is insane, for anyone who hasn't trained MMA, depending on your body type since some people bulk up easier than others, it is very difficult to be that height and put on that amount of mass and KEEP IT while training MMA, because there is so much cardio involved in everything we do during our training, we burn tons of calories. So it is extremely interesting to me how he managed to be 5'6 and that stay at that weight, if he was 5'10 or taller, then it would make sense, since the taller you are the more weight you can generally hold since you have a bigger body.
@kkech12 жыл бұрын
185 doesn't sound too insane to me. I did a summer of MMA style training and stayed around that weight at 5ft9, while limiting my calories. Was my first year really doing any sport and stayed at something under a comfy 18% bodyfat. 214 at that height seems nuts and hard to believe he was natural sprinting all day with that mass. But then again he looks over 20% bodyfat in those times so that seems plausible. I'm from the same country his dad comes from and can say that Balkan dudes can get thick. Must be the diet idk *shrug*
@symbol767 Жыл бұрын
@@kkech1 5'9 and 5'6 is very different, I'm 5'9 too but for a 5'6 dude to maintain that kind of mass, its pretty uncommon especially considering so much of it was mainly muscle mass even though it may have been 20% body fat. I rarely see even online many 5'6 guys getting THAT size

There has been a serious increase in traumatic head injury in rugby too. What they did was change the regulations. Now if you you receive any type of impact to the head, no matter how small, you are taken out of the game for an HIA (head injury assessment) and a temporary substitute can be put on in ur place. If you fail you aren't allowed back on, if you are knocked out there is no HIA you are just substituted. This takes the decision out of the player's hands. 90% of players would usually play on otherwise, its sorta seen as a weakness is you don't. They also changed some of the rules making any blow to the head in a tackle/ruck, any tackle about shoulder height and any tackle where the player lands on their head a red card. It was rugby union that did this initially but I think its the same in league now too

@chubbyurma u must not be very agile if ur gettin clothlined.. 90% of the time a concussion is from a knee to the head on a wrong form tackle. I'm not saying rugby isnt a physical game because it is the next up to football. But ther is a hugeee fucking difference in terms of hits to head

Your so right Joe football players are wreckeless due to the padding they have so they do more extreme tackling with no technique. Rugby players have rules and technique you have to follow. For example to make a tackle in rugby you learn what side to tackle with depending on how the opponent is running. You also go through feet positions and head positions so you don’t get knocked out.

There’s plenty of technique in NFL tackling. Some examples would be.. to prevent extra yards being gained on a run you hit them low and wrap up both legs when you make the tackle. To force a fumble you can make your helmet contact the football when you put a hit on the runner to pop it out of their arms. When you come from behind or the side of the runner you can tackle by the waist and simultaneously use a hand to attempt to strip the football before they are down. When a receiver attempts to catch a pass the cornerbacks making reads and trying to time a solid hit right as it touches their hands so you can force the incomplete pass. Too early on that and you get pass interference which marks the ball where it would have been caught so it’s risky but effective when done right. Can’t target the head during a tackle or that’s a 15 yard penalty and potential ejection from the game depending the severity or repeat offense. When you’re a 180 lbs player having to tackle 250+ lbs fullbacks running full speed at you like a truck you need technique because the physics are not in your favor. As you can see it seems we have some rules and techniques involved with NFL tackling.

I played rugby from age 9 in South Africa and I have always thought the big difference between rugby and American football is around the tackle point. In rugby there are very strict rules about how you are allowed to tackle. So that minimizes the risk in my opinion.

Played Rugby League growing up in Sydney from age 5 through to age 18. Had the most fun times of my life, won premierships and made great mates. But the injuries catch up with you. I am now 44 and both shoulders need reconstructions, I have a disc bulging in my lower back, already had one knee reconstruction, now need the other done. Got knocked out at least 5 times, concussed probably 20. Not looking forward to the effects of those concussions and knockouts as I enter my 50s and 60s. Doubt I will make 70s.

I live in a city with a lot of Aussie/South African/Brits, and over here (at least in the amateur league) you get a lot of shorter guys playing rugby built exactly like Volkanovski. These guys have a distinct advantage in some regards because their center of gravity is lower making them WAY harder to tackle, and they're super quick.

Research has shown in modern rugby matches (top tier) players are being subjected to 50, 40g impacts, per match. The equivalent of being in a 40mph crash 50 times in 80 minutes. The highest ever recorded rugby impact was 205g's. American football does hit harder, but rugby is just as grueling.
