We go through this time and time again, and others have gone through this for decades. People just don't understand that real athletes are less concerned with how they look than how they perform. Those that look good have a genetic predisposition to look good. Combat training is not conducive to building muscles. And having muscles in fighting sports is no indication of how good of a fighter you are.
This is Daniel Cormier at peak shape as he just came off a training camp to step into the Octagon when this pic was taken. Cormier competed in the 2008 Olympics in wrestling and is a two division world champion in the UFC losing only to Jon Jones, the best fighter to ever come out of MMA, and then to Stipe Miocic whom he previously knocked out in the first round to become the Heavy Weight champion. Cormier was forty years old when he lost the rematch to Miocic in which he retired.
Wrestling is one of the most physically grueling sports and the athletes are in top shape and at a level few can attain. Daniel Cormier represents the elite of the elite of athletes in combat sports.
