lmfao, those fat af somoans gonna fall over and roll down the nearest hill if you so much as pushed them over somoans are not special at all get over it human beings are special end of story if somoans were special we would have somoans at the top of every sport or every combat sport but we dont so get off your high horse
Just more proof that Samoans are extremely talented. Singing,Athletics,Super Hard working, good hearted people. Small island compared to the rest of the world, but such an impact these people have made.
Imagine someone with the size of Dwayne Johnson who is Samoan, but with the fighting spirit and ability and ferocity and toughness of Max Holloway. That would be a terrifying human being
They are hardy people. Samoan's and other Pacific Island peoples like Tongans, Hawaiians, Fijians, Maori of New Zealand, are very hardy people and able to exert a lot of physical effort from themselves and take a lot of physical efforts against themselves. Like getting physical pain or giving physical pain. In contact sport is a good example. Rugby, NFL, Rugby League, Boxing, Kick Boxing, MMA, UFC. They thrive to the contact and excel. At the highest levels.
@eliminator173 never forget that one max interview talking about a fan 😅 "You look kinda like Tony Ferguson" You know, most people tell me I look like Max Holloway! "Oh yeah, I can see it, but you look like Tony Ferguson."
Ridiculously small Welterweight though. Think about it like this, Geoff Neal just came in on FIGHT NIGHT at 200lbs. Thats way more than Max's walkaround
I worked with Samoans and Tongans lifting heavy shit and im telling you man shit that needed two or three people to lift just one islander could do it with ease while hes laughing and smiling.
God knew that if he had made Max 186+lbs, 6”1, he’d be unstoppable as a fighter So he made him 5”11, 155lbs just so he could spare Jon Jones the wrath of Blessed
I patted him down at MCO airport. He's actually pretty solid. He does not present as a small dude. Ive grappled with every weight class, Max was at least 210 at that time.
@@AlfimAlves I ain't roided, have visible abs at 190 even 200 pounds. So yeah at 180 I'm pretty lean. I imagine if I were a ufc fighter I'd have to be a welterweight. Like colby Covington, he's 5ft 11 and lean at 170-180
