Michael Mazur: What is the maximal weight ever you had coming into

the ring?

Melvin Manhoef: The maximum weight was around 93kg.

Michael Mazur: What is the maximal weight you could put on to fight without losing in agility and speed?

Melvin Manhoef: I don’t really know because I never tried to gain

a lot of weight. I do know that when I am around 95/96 kg I don’t

feel well. At that weight I feel slow and heavy.

Michael Mazur: How much do you weigh in the offseason between

the fights?

Melvin Manhoef: Off season I weigh around 92 kg.

Michael Mazur: How do you combine excellent bodybuilder look

with lightning speed, stamina and footwork?

Melvin Manhoef: I have particular exercises for speed.

Also with my fitness training I keep in mind that

I have to keep my speed and explosiveness and I make sure

that the fitness exercises don’t make me slower.

Pretty surprising that a guy that jacked up, with seemingly pretty short arms, has a max bench of "only" 330lb.

if you stuck a 500lb barbell on a dude's chin i'm sure he'd move it

Melvin is a beast. Someone post the Mark Hunt KO gif!
