it can't possibly be serious

theres no way he’d be trying to cut 30 lbs in one day. to even attempt that would be absurd

Even when I'm laying on my back I'm never backing down

It is legit

I saw him when I was at Bellator 22, and he is MASSIVE for a WW.

Damn, how fat is he when he’s not cutting weight? I’m having visions of Anthony Johnson on Inside MMA…

Just strange.

He really is solid and pretty cut at 220. I’ve heard lots of guys who know him say it. He was way bigger than Rashada few months ago, with no gut or titties.

Lol

So he is solid at 220, he just weighs 240 most of the time.

I think this picture was taken when he was still injured

and not training. So maybe thats why he looks so fat there.

I hear he won’t be fighting until 2011?

i'm still shocked that askren beat him

couldn’t believe it – i mean, i saw it but was just in shock. askren’s hair must contain magical powers…either that or hornbuckle isn’t as good as i wanted to believe – or maybe askren is really good.

how could a seasoned MMA vet get beat by a relative newcomer to MMA?

i realize that askren’s a great wrestler, but i figured an experienced MMA guy could counter the wrestling and beat him.

You clearly haven’t been watching MMA as of late. Joe Warren, Ben Askren, King Mo, Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar etc etc

Hold on let me google that for you. A few “seasoned MMA vets”.

Ben Askren is a cardio-wrestling machine

I love Hornbuckle, ever since his KO headkick of the Japanese Sensation, but Askren was all over him like a bigger, younger, better Clay Guida.

Askren has an insane top game – it’s just onslaught after onslaught of energy and pressure from him. Fast as hell takedowns, immense pressure to pass, quick transitions. Hornbuckle has a good guard game – truly good – but he just couldn’t keep up with Askren’s game. When on top, he couldn’t stay on top of Askren either – passed his guard, but couldn’t stay on top of him.

In like three years, Askren is going to give even Marcelo a hard time. I say this having studied that Marcelo-Askren video that was made back in March/April. I don’t think Askren’s ever going to develop a serious bottom game, but he’s possibly good enough for that to not matter.

Aha, logistics.. well, at least Hornbuckle gets a few extra minutes to cut those 35 pounds.

How about they just start anyway and do this Keoki feller a little later?

by Horselover Fat on Aug 18, 2010 7:12 PM EDT reply actions  

theres no way the hornbuckle thing is serious right?

btw whats the record for being overweight?

He had to be joking, why would he tell everyone that he couldn’t make weight?

by B.H. Farnsworth on Aug 18, 2010 7:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah it’s gotta be a joke.. that much overweight the day of the weigh-ins, it’s absurd. He’s been pro at WW a long time so it’s not anything new for him

by Horselover Fat on Aug 18, 2010 7:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Exactly.

Just looking at him, you know he’s never been fat.

I think the announcer just told the guys to square off quickly because “Dan wants to get on the scale as soon as possible.”
