Sage gon full natty

[Felis]

His arms look disgusting in that pic.

And his back in the vid too.

 

[Ace70 V2]

Thought it was his sister...

 

[Al Stone]

You can look like that and be natty but you sacrifice everything else. You won't perform good in MMA except for maybe 5 min.

He isnt. There. I said it. Not even close

 

[puppybird]

Compare to pics of Nick Diaz released on the same day

Lol

 

[piropiro]

In his 20s, with good genetics, specific lifelong training and strict nutrition he can look like that natural (not sure he is but he could be), however the effort necessary would mean plenty of resources (time and energy) taken from other fighting skills such as techniques, sparring, conditioning, etc ... and we saw the result of that in his MMA career.

 

[Juan Bombadil]

His dad was a bodybuilder wasn’t he?

 

[Juan Bombadil]

what makes his veins pop like that

No fat

 

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

I've been saying it since the beginning, Sage could've went into bodybuilding.

wouldn't male modeling be better? I don’t know many rich body builders

 

[wufabufa]

Not with his shit tier bicep insertions he won't.

Or his narrow shoulders. He's built like his old man and you can see the same thing in his physique.

 

[listrahtes]

This is body dysmorphia. Same reason chicks inject themselves to look like centaurs.

yep I really think it is. No wonder with this childhood obsessed about looks and muscles. He cant help himself.

Its a go to list how to fuck up development as a fighter. People dont realize how bad Sage is compared to other pros. UFC protected the hell out of him. He would not even make it on a much smaller scale.

He's an absolute specimen. If he learns to use power and strength instead of karate based movement he should be able to dominate a lot of weaker less skilled fighters.

Problem is to find these less skilled fighters. As a fighter he is no specimen at all. He has a lot of unnecessary muscles that are detrimental to him as a fighter. Its great for facebook and impressing basement dwellers.

 

[Based and White Pilled]

He clearly has the genetics for it.

He's also marketable as fuck. Bodybuilding/fitness modelling would've paid better than MMA without getting punched in the face.

He could still make the switch. He's just 19 right? He wouldn't make as much as Paige for obvious reasons, but getting a little bit of a following in MMA could be a good springboard for him like it was for her.

I've been saying it since the beginning, Sage could've went into bodybuilding.

He should have. He should just stick to YouTube/Social Media and focus on fitness and sell supplements. I dont mean it as an insult, I think he can actually be really big and become one of those “influencers” in the BB world.

 

[kalabula]

He could be natty *shrug*

But he'll never be a top fighter

Probably not. But I’d love to see it happen. He’s seems to be about the nicest person ever.

 

[Number 8]

Gtfo

Great genetics + pump, that is all.

 

[13Seconds]

Cosmo be like "oh you lift? That's cute"

 

[Kryptt]

So Jello Shots?

 

[Prince Nephilim]

He really couldn't have.

I hate that I know this, but Sage has an awful (tall but narrow, no width to his clavicles) bone structure for bodybuilding purposes. His chest and ab inserts are also really unfortunate by bodybuilding standards.

He's genetically gifted in the sense that he's capable of putting on lean, dense muscle, but at the same time he has some pretty apparent genetic limitations in the form of his shitty muscle bellies and bone structure.

You have to look at the bigger picture. He doesn’t have to win Mr.Olympia or the Arnold Classic. I mean, he ain’t no Phil Health but Sage could be successful just getting his pro card, competing and marketing himself. I think he’s got the look and a good like-able persona.

These day’s, you don’t have to win big tourney’s but just compete and becoming more marketable. Forget his obvious flaws, I’m looking more at his marketability. We don’t even know his stack, imagine if he gets with the right mentor’s and supplements.

 

[JoshR86]

Nice try Sage, still too short for sherdog

 

[Clippy]

Somebody needs to tell him to put his veins back inside his body

 

[Coolkid666]

I like him but his skull got literally crushed in from 1 punch last time. He's done
