Judging from Overeem's size and gas issues I'm assuming he was one of them. So I'll go with 230-240 as an estimation.
Some Hws, who aren't at coming in at 265, cut an average of 10-15 lbs anyways during training. So his weighing in at 224lbs against Buentello would probably mean he was 235-240 and only cut the ten if anything at all. So still in the walking weight region I had guessed.
According to the weigh-in results this was the difference: Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (225.9) vs. Alistair Overeem (241.8). Assuming he gained 20 lbs in shear muscle mass, he'd be cutting from 250-260, again if cutting at all.
I just gave a new meaning to MMAth

Honestly, I managed to gain 20 lbs of muscle of muscle in 3 months once. So I guess it would make sense that over the span of a year Overeem can put on so much weight.
I hadn't really thought about the difference from Overeem at 205 to now until Bas got in my head. I haven't really seen him gas so I think it must've been weighty issues that affected his tank before. |
Youīre mixing cutting and loosing weight. No HW is going to cut weight if they are under 265.
I used to be lean 190 and got up to 220 in under 6 months when started eating enough. Overeem was huge for LHW so that weight probably came quite easily when he didnīt have to worry about making 205 anymore. Itīs not your muscles just getting bigger but you also have more carbs, fat and liquid in your body.
