At 5'9", Palumbo would be a ripped 270 if he never lifted weights, so it is understandable that it would take him 10 years to lose 70 lbs of muscle.
all three in the photo have the same kinda hair and haircut whats up with that
Who is the heaviest UFC fighter who is 5'9? That is Phil's height. Dave is 5'10.5". Mark Hunt is around that height, and he competes as a heavyweight. Kelvin Gastelum is 5'9 and competes at 185.But I would agree that most fighters that height are 170 - in fact, a lot of them fight in even lighter classes. But to compete in the 170 class at 5'9 puts you in a position where you are still thin, yet have a decent amount of muscle mass and [hopefully] strength to go with it.
He lies about how much he use to take as well...he always claims he never took more than 1200mg test but in the interview with Big Lenny he let it slip it was more like 6000mg a week
Palumbo was as purple as big Curtis in the 90s at golds and hes still alive today whilst Curtis has been 6 foot under for the last 20 or so years, Dave's 190 strategy is working well in comparison.
Hes still in contest shape year round which is really impressive. Must have a freakish metabolism. Downsizing is the smart thing do to for ex-pros, and for palumbo his joints are too messed up anyway to take advantage of drugs/food etc... Nobody cares how much he weights hes a fucking millionaire
I saw Dave at 315 pounds at the New Englands and he was as vascular as a prick.
I wonder whats he's using now to be so vascular
prob on HRT and that is worth 20lbs of muscle instead of 20lbs of fat
Did Palumbo have any injuries?
