Well, Thw bigger you are, the more water weight you retain. So a 300 lb guy no matter how much fat he has on could prolly lose a real big amount of water weight. Ive personally done 15 lbs in a week before. Now even if you look at him in the WWE he wasnt completely riped. He has it to lose as odd as that sounds.

Also it would probably benefit him to lose some muscle mass if he wants to be able to hang with strikers that have takedown defense. That muscle is great in terms of grappling but It will slow him down while throwing a punch.

Also it would again benefit him to lose some muscle mass because he will be in better shape. All that big muscle he has eats up his oxygen supply and will tire him out a lot if he is in a fight that goes the distance.
