As a believer in feng shui, I have decided to write the exact opposite article to help maintain balance among my articles. Here is a look at the 10 worst physical specimens in MMA. We kick off today's list with the fighter that you all knew would be here: Roy Nelson. After walking to the Octagon to the booming chorus of Weird Al Yankovich's "Fat" and openly requesting endorsements from fast-food chain Burger King, it is clear that the man known as Big Country has a sense of humor about his hefty gut.
Nelson talked about his preference to be chubby by looking at how quickly Shane Carwin reached exhaustion at UFC when fighting Brock Lesnar. All that muscle to feed oxygen to, of course he gets tired. Nelson pledged to drop to light-heavyweight if his Facebook page were to hit , likes back in March. Since that time, the goal was achieved, but he has signed on for two fights at heavyweight, a bout with Dave Herman at UFC and a coach's fight against Shane Carwin at the end of Ultimate Fighter Now that The Polar Bear fights with a pound weight limit, he has slimmed down from his college days.
However, the weight restriction hasn't caused Konrad to improve his physique. The hefty wrestler remains one of the least toned fighters in the sport. With a flawless record in mixed martial arts, I'm not about to tell the former DeathClutch team member that he needs to change anything about his workout regimen. Weighing in at pounds, Russow clearly isn't likely to cut down to the light-heavyweight division.
However, replacing some of his extra baggage with toned muscle could allow him to both slim down improve his physique and obtain more strength for his wrestling game.
Considering that Russow still works as a Chicago police officer, it makes sense that he doesn't have the time to sculpt his body like some of the statuesque fighters in the UFC's heavyweight division. The former DeathClutch fighter doesn't have much tone, but his physical deficiencies were under a microscope at UFC when he stood toe-to-toe with Todd Duffee. By comparison, Russow might as well have been a beached whale. Any fighter who nicknames himself after a vegetable should probably look like he eats them every once in awhile.
Eric Esch, better known as "Butterbean" is a super heavyweight boxer who lost only three times in his first decade of fighting. Moving over to his mixed martial arts career, you would be surprised to find out that 10 of The Bean's 17 career victories came by way of submission.
Fedor Emelianenko is a flabby Russian who certainly spent more time honing his craft than he did sculpting his abs. With a torso that resembles a piece of pastrami that was dropped on the carpet, the appearance of The Last Emperor may have lulled many opponents into a false sense of safety. Let's not beat a dead horse here.

And like Fedor, he has a very impressive record, having only dropped one fight to Sergei Kharitonov during his MMA career hitherto. But Christian Morecraft is evidently not self-conscious about his figure, and fair play to him.
This erroneously conveys the impression that Diego has made the jump through a scientific regime of Big Macs and double-cheese pizzas, when in fact it may be attributed to his body clinging onto, and storing any ounce of fat of which he has deprived it whilst competing at lightweight. Maybe, like Samson with his luscious locks, Diego felt that he had lost some of his X-factor when he shed the paunch, and so maybe the newfound flab is a counterintuitive endeavour to regain some of his earlier Mojo.
Given they are such a rarity, the chubbier guys in the smaller weight classes tend to prove even more distinctive, as opposed to the heavyweights wherein half the UFC roster resemble Vegas buffet-whores.
The creation of a light welterweight division would have perfectly suited these two fighters. In light of lengthy injury layoffs away from the sport, his lack of chiselled torso hardly comes as a surprise.
Uncannily, his increase in waistline seems directly proportional to his increase in years. Whilst wearing a wig. Though he is such an extrovert that if you asked him nicely or in fact even if you were blatantly rude , he would probably perform the Karaoke version for you.
Would Fedor Emelianenko be such a revered icon if he boasted a physique like Alistair Overeem? The reason we adulate Fedor is precisely because he reigned atop the world of MMA for nigh on a decade whilst never once coming close to boasting a visible abdominal muscle.
In fact he has always been respectful, phlegmatic and downright docile to the point that he constantly appears satiated, or even sedated, by his last saturated-fat based meal.
And why not? After all, "The Last Emperor" loves a good ol' fashioned banquet.
