Tua's trainer- Nick Hicks live tonight 5/31 on YouTube

I hope he gives us a look into his jiu jit su training and lets us know who Tua will be fighting at UFC 289. I am hoping Amanda Nunes.

In feb Nick hicks said he wanted tua to be duel threat. So I asked if that is still the plan when they did his training.

I'd expect it to be more like @djphinfan suggested, not so much a dual threat like Lamar Jackson. But a running threat in the sense of being able to pick up those quick 5-10 yards on a scramble and being smart about it. Make the defense think about it

People hear dual threat and some people (I mean hell just check the old thread) just assume we want him running all around taking shots. Dont think thats the case at all

I agree. I just want to know if that is the plan. I hope it is. But if he weighs 225. Which I heard he does then maybe they switched plan. Hopefully they answer my question
 
I really love Reasons channel. He has a wealth of Dolphins knowledge and is one of the best for covering the Dolphins draft. The only thing I don’t like is his know-it all attitude that he possesses
 
I have a feeling he scheduled this to talk about Cools as well

Right. As I mentioned in my other thread, he's got the same yards per attempt as Jimmy G. I don't think he's going to add weight and run faster. Tua doesn't get many yards when running as is.
 
It was a great interview …informative… should be a must listen.
 
Tua has gained a lot of velocity

Gained muscle in the upper body

The martial arts is very effective and he can see it in display

Throwing 25 yard outs from the opposite hash

10 percent body fat at 225

Dedicated athlete
