Matt, just a reminder, this is not about you. You shouldn't have to insert what you are doing (specifically the strong man stuff) into almost every post.
You could say, "Well, they both would lose to someone doing a strong man contest, because they don't train for that." This way, you don't mention yourself, but you made a valid point.
Good point. It's just nice to FINALLY get to compete in my own weight class. Meanwhile, the first time I get the chance, I'm Nationals-qualified,
Which leads me to another point - I was doing ok in the 200-lb and 210-lb weight classes locally, but as said above, in my own class, I got a ticket to Nats on the first try. This leads me to believe that no matter how good someone is in their own (lower) weight class, they will get beaten by an equally good, heavier competitors.
So for instance, Georges St-Pierre could most likely be beaten by
any/every heavyweight fighter. Roy Nelson is a decent fighter, but isn't known by a lot of people, and his fights aren't big draws or anything. Meanwhile, he would likely beat GSP with no major issues.
That really puts things in perspective. There are probably heavyweight MMA fighter and boxers who will never go far in their sport, yet could beat GSP or Mayweather,. thanks to their body weight advantage.
But regardless I'm sorry, Parker - you have the right to be
disgusted with my comment. I won't bring up Nationals in any other unrelated topic until I compete in it next month.
I wonder if McGregor regrets doing the fight at 170-lb? Considering he weighed in at 153...I guess after the weigh-in he decided that he would

Incidentally, after paying $99.95 CAD for the fight replay, it stopped working after the third round, LOL. So I'm watching the replay. Hopefully it stays online for a while so I can read the comments and discussion.
