I was just looking at the Men's Health magazine because it has Conor McGregor on

I found out that we're the same height and he's only a kg heavier than me but yet he's so muscley. How does that make sense? I'm in no way fat but I'm not extremely skinny either and I thought muscle weighed more than fat? Are girls generally heavier than boys or what? Or is it just because he has no fat on him at all

His physique isn't that amazing lmao.
Muscle takes up less space than fat.

Women have a greater % of minimum body fat they need in contrast to men.

Obviously not.

Muscle weighs more than fat. Well known fact.

A man's skeleton also tends to be bigger and heavier.

Everyone has different bone densities but that's not something even worth comparing :lol:

Original post by rleah1998

well I have Men's Health Sept 16 issue here and it says 65kg in it. Plus I googled his weight class he's featherweight not lightweight sorry, meaning <66kg. So he must have lost weight

Yeah, right. His not that lean at 77kg which would put him somewhere near high 22.7 ish FFMI score & he doesn't even train for the purpose of building a physique/putting on muscle. In that picture, 100% he dieted down and will most likely be around 65kg to be that lean 8-9 ish body fat.

Anything else to add? @woodymkc

That's true for me atm.

Months out of the gym being a lazy cnut don't mean ****. :biggrin:

If you wanna see what he looks like at 65kg, check out a weigh in from a featherweight bout. When he comes in for weigh-ins (for featherweight anyway), he is usually incredibly dehydrated. On fight night he usually comes in far heavier, apparently on the day of the Aldo fight he shot back up to 174lb (78kg) if memory recalls lmao.

He usually walks around at 77kg btw, but google probably has his weight at 77kg cause his last fight was at welterweight, and his next will be too. (Cause he lost and is looking to avenge the loss)

That's from the Aldo weigh in at 145lb. He looks half dead.

Literally overnight he'll go from that to the picture you posted first. They weigh in during the afternoon and then fight the following evening.

For the same height, build and dimensions, women are heavier.

There's hardly any difference between the male and female skeletons apart from in the pelvis and a bit in the skull. If me and him are the same height then why would his skeleton weigh more, apart from the said differences in bone density and obviously I can't just go off and measure my bone density

Are diuretics a banned substance in UFC? Because if it's not, then that could account for the reason. Diuretics allow users to urinate more frequently, thus losing much more water from the body; this is convenient for weigh ins. After the weigh ins, which is likely where you got his mass from, he can hydrate himself with water and gain Kgs in weight for a fight, possibly wondering out of his weight class.

Fat. Women have a lot more body fat than men.

so a skinny girl has more fat on her than a fat guy?

Are you stupid or something?
Boys are taller than girls. So a tall girl is smaller than a short boy.

That doesn't make sense. Dimensions, stats. For the same height, build, stats e.g. Biceps size, leg size, wrist size, ankle size, neck size, fist size, foot size, chest size(??), head size, body fat % etc. they will be the same weight probably.

so if I worked out loads and built up muscle mass would I still be heavier because of my hips and all that?

Heavier than who, Mike Tyson, I doubt it, (in fact I say impossible without steroids, and even then). You're saying this about a relatively trim guy, so no, generally speaking girls are lighter than guys. Think about it, you don't see girls who are tall, like 5'10" + who are 200lbs + do you (not like fat women obviously, there's loads of them, and men for the record)?

I knew someone would try to overanalyse it.

Jesus, I just meant a man and a woman who roughly look the same size and shape.

Quite possibly yes. A woman with 30% body fat will still look good, whereas a guy with 25% say, will already start to look fat.

Women naturally carry more fat than men and have a slower metabolism, so if a woman and man ate the same and did the same exercise, then she would be heavier.
However,
In any person, muscle weighs more than fat, and this is the larger contributing factor.
