You dont need washboard abs to be in shape.

Sakuraba!!!

Though it would be nice to have nice abs, but it isn't a must.

You know though, i hate to have to use Tim Sylvias pic, but it's true.

Fedor, that ugly ass guy has run MARATHONS and has a great gas tank despite his wierd physique. Same with his brother Alexander.

I imagine more fighters would look like that except that non-heavyweights walk at, say 205, and fight at 180. Heavyweights can fight with a more natural physique. I don't understand Sylvia's giggly bits though...

Yeah, Ive heard the heavy wieghts are the only division where weight control isn't such an issue.

Just pointing it out in terms of being 'in shape'.

Not all world class athletes have "pretty" physiques. Babe Ruth was the classic example of an extraordinary athlete with bad habits and a body that reflected it.

It never hurts to be the best you can be. If you have a bod that'll impress the chicks on the beach, then go with it. But if you have a unique build, just do your best with it.

I just dont get Sylvia overall as an athlete.
I mean he has a tough streak to him on the fact that he broke his arm and wanted to keep fighting.
But his comments after randy beat him was just bullshit.
He'll never be champion again......
