I would not want to get in the ring with that guy!!

**nsp** · 04-23-2012, 10:37 PM

Well, he does have a better record than the guy he's fighting.

**toxic Avenger** · 04-23-2012, 10:39 PM

Most BBers that are that loaded have zero cardio and gas at about 90 seconds of the first round. If he gets completely off the juice he might have a little more cardio.

**swingslammer** · 04-24-2012, 01:17 AM

I doubt he is getting off the juice so I guess he better hope he takes him out in the first minute.

**matei** · 04-24-2012, 02:14 AM

I do respect Robert Burneika, but if he walks in a cage against an opponent who has even the smallest bjj knowledge, he will tap so fast that you'd not have not have time not even to go to the bathroom and piss.
My god, what an awful (self) marketing movement...

**symphonyofdreams** · 04-24-2012, 04:06 AM

he's going to get purple and gas faster then M. Pudgeniouski did lol. guys at 5'9'' can never be athletic at over 220 and that's rare. I guess he's just looking for a pay check.

**Rackyourweights** · 04-24-2012, 07:18 AM

I just hope Robert doesn't get hurt, wouldn't want to see this keeping him off the bodybuilding stage this year

**kratos47** · 04-24-2012, 05:14 PM

his only chance is just to run up the guy and just squeeze him with some type of bear hug move or if he has learned some bjj he would be effective doing any type of choke with his big ass biceps. The only muscle endurence he will have will be to squeeze him like he was holding a rep. Does he have any backround with wrestling or boxing? Wrestling will definetly help because at least for me i've never lost that body awarness and just my ability to scramble in tight quarders and find leverage. So if you combine that with some bjj and being super strong that would be his best chance. Also some dirty boxing is always good if your a wrestler because you can tie up and do nice short upper cuts and hooks. But I also wonder what is bringing about this want for middle aged men to want to do mma. Its almost like a midlife crisis for alot of guys and they need to see if that have what it takes to be able to dominate another human being. But i am intrested to see how this goes and sure hope someone will post it up for free on here haha.

Its actually pretty intresting to see how having a pro bodybuilding physique effects your mobility and even explosiveness. I dont know how he thinks this will go well haha. How long will he be training before he does the fight? and does he plan to stay as jacked as can be up to the fight? haha Im not trying to hate but more curious what his motives are for this. He is a bodybuilder he has trained his whole life to be a bodybuilder so that's what his muscle and reflexes are trained to do. I have respect for both avenues of training, mostly because they are both intense training regimens and both require extreme dedication and heart. Which is more important i think then who can beat up who or who has a better physique. But i will definetly be checking out the fight

**Vlad The Impaler** · 04-26-2012, 01:05 PM

Yeah the end had me rolling

**Ryan Bracewell** · 04-26-2012, 01:12 PM

if Pudz couldnt do it I dont see Robert having much success.

mark coleman was a pretty jacked up fighter back in the day ...also this one guy i saw in ufc was a former seal really into plyometrics had a bodybuilders physique and whooped ass.

**KTTraining** · 04-27-2012, 12:08 AM

UFC fighter , Krzysztof Soszynski was a competitive bodybuilder and a professional wrestler prior to going into mma . This has nothing to do with the guy above as he doesn't seem too athletic and from the video's posted (only 2) doesn't look to be taken it seriously . Just a vote up on bodybuilding since many dog it .

Ya I bet he is very tired after round one, even min one as you say.

**Barrett** · 04-27-2012, 01:01 AM

Robert handled that weigh in like a gentleman. Extremely classy of him to offer to shake the guys hand, and again after he refused the first time. What a dick on the other dudes part. I hope Robert fucking destroys him.

On another note, why are all you hoping Robert fucks up? That's going to be a reflection on the bodybuilding community and you.. Why not a word of encouragement so he doesn't even further reinforce the stereotype we all carry? He's been fighting since he was younger. Who knows maybe he'll win.

**Will Jacobs** · 04-27-2012, 02:17 AM

thought he would be leaner with all his cardio for the fight. In othe news, big fat Hilderband banned me cause he could handle some of his own medicine.

I think I have seen this before. Big BBer does first MMA fight, and is gassed after round one. I can't seem to find the fight though.

**Rambo2** · 04-27-2012, 05:02 AM

I hope Robert B wins! Especially as the other guy acted like such a dick

**guruhonza** · 04-27-2012, 05:02 AM

WAR Robert!

**matei** · 04-27-2012, 05:25 AM

To the above guy who said that the bodybuilding community does not support Robert Burneika.

Dude, it's not that we don't support him. But bodybuilding and MMA have nothing in common, and nobody could do both of them in the same time. RB is a huge guy who can not make too much fuel economy, therefore unless he gets a takedown and throw some lucky punches, I really doubt that he won't gas out before the first end round.
Of course, that if his opponent will be a little bit more experienced and not jut a chubby monkey with no fighting knowledge.

I do hope that RB will win, but if he does not, he will make a fool out of himself if he loses his fuel in the first minutes and gets submitted with ease. That's why I said that this was a huge self-marketing mistake for him. Not because I just wanted to throw some hate a little bit.
Cheers

**Rackyourweights** · 04-27-2012, 07:47 AM

Kick his ass RB!

Even legit fighters can get gassed after one round occasionally....even at a much lower weight class.
