Joe Rogan says Carwin weighed 280 on fight night?

is that true?

Rogan doesn't lie! He only overhypes certain fighters during fights.

It's possible I'll say that, he looked every bit as big as Brock

I don't know about 280 Joe, would be tight if they weighed them before fights then listed the weigh-in weight with fight-night weight next to it in parenthesis.

That would be a good idea

Gaining back 15 isn't crazy though

agree that I thought he looked the equal to Brock in the size dept. (he easily won the big head competition).

Also agree that they should have an unofficial night of the fight weight. Boxing does it.

Dude I said the other day Carwin has the skull of an ape, that shit looks like it's way bigger and thicker than normal.

Yeah it is almost as big as Tito's

In comparison Brock's cranium looked like a peanut on top of that torso.

Brock has a big head too, but Carwin's is freakish

Ya I believe he was close to 280, maybe 275, he was chuggin some eletrolyte type hydration drink on the weigh in stage.

I think Rogan was right when he said that though Carwin weighed as much or more then Lesnar, he has a smaller frame, and is probably not able to hold the amount of weight and muscle that Brock can, comfortably. Even in the picture above, notice how much larger Brock's shoulders and elbows are (ie. larger muscle attachments equal potential to carry more weight). Either way, they are both huge.

Don't think he's ever been that heavy... Definitely could have played a part in gassing so badly...

He was about 6'5 too...

Yeah I remember telling Wolfy he was at max 2 inches shorter then Lesnar. Wolf thought it was closer to 3.
I said I would come on and say I was wrong if it appeared I was.....I think I was wrong....he is less then 2 inches taller then Shane.

I thought Lesnar was 6' 5'' though, which he aint. So that's where I messed up.


Thanks UFC hype machine for listing everyones stats hellafide wrong.

Yep, just like the NBA. Jordan wasn't 6'6, Shaq never sniffed 7'2 and Iverson isn't 6 foot standing on a phone book.

15lbs of water is easy. I gained 8lbs of water in 24 hours and I weighed 118lbs when I weighed in. Big guys can lose a ton of water weight.

yep and the more muscle they have the higher % they can loose since muscle is is a sponge for high quality H20
