😊 your very welcome 😊 <| sep |> Literally the popular vote . Candidates would have to campaign everywhere since the margins they win by in each state now matter , not the winner take all system we have now . <| sep |> But , c ' mon , they are obviously choosing mass over leanness here . I mean , we ' re talking about highlevel professional athletes that depend on their body for a living . Are we seriously saying that they don ' t lose the weight because of willpower ? I don ' t think so . I think there are advantages to those weight levels if you can carry them with ease . In MMA I can think of several reasons why this would be the case More weight behind the punches . More difficult to be taken down . Less difficult to submit someone . Maybe the couple of inches of fat help distribute the impact of body contacts ? I ' m not sure about this one . In sum , I find it hard to believe that athletes at the zenith of their disciplines wouldn ' t choose to be thinner if they could . They already train a shitton of time , so if they are keeping the weight , is because they are planning their diet around it or because that ' s just how their bodies are . In soccer it happens that during the season break some of the bigger players with maybe a stronger tendency to put on fat will come back with some extra pounds and as they get older it gets harder to put them down . They train those away quite fast , since in Soccer there ' s really no upside to body fat , since it ' s all ankles , knees , agility and reaction time . In MMA I see strategic reasons to keep the fat if you can wield it , it seems .
