@@TheCatabolicTrexI agree to an extent that if your shoulders are better with mobility you can get away it more. I can say that for myself at least.

[@ryant5979]

Any bodybuilder/powerlifter who learns/trains how to fight they can destroy anybody. Anytime you see a bodybuilder losing to someone they just dont know how to fight and lack conditioning. Size absolutely matters in a fight and with skill together that person can become unstoppable. Weight classes exist for a reason. Muscles matter size matters but u need skill and size to dominate bodybuilder or not!

There have been some guys who've had the body of a bodybuilder who fought in the UFC (including when it meant something to make it there). Obviously Sean Shrek is arguable - but he was there, Gleison Tibau (from what I recall) was huge for his weight. It seems like the guys being referred to are heavyweights - but there were some guys who looked like bodybuilders who were competitive in MMA. What's the guy from awhile back - Jeff Munson(?). He could fight. There are at least exceptions - and if the bodybuilders trained, they'd spend less time lifting, but I think some would be good fighters.

[@jeremyrising]

I keep reading comments regarding power. Have you ever hit a nail with a hammer really hard but the nail just bends? Have you ever seen a bullet ricochet instead of penetrate? Speedxmass is part of power, but trajectory and timing are also. Learning to land your shot as your opponent plants, at an angle where they will resist the force and you have the position to blast through the target is why when Viddal Riley sparred Eddie Hall he could have knocked Eddie out in the first round and Eddie realized. I am only 195 lbs and I am not that strong but there probably arent many body builders that have my power and probably none that have the same knock out power as me due to having zero skill set. Just like body builders can squat more than NBA players but can't dunk, and the few that can couldnt dunk over an NBA defender.

This is all a bunch of bro science except for the part of bodybuilders not knowing how to fight. Everyone else in the world who doesn’t train MMA also doesn’t know how to fight but bodybuilders do have the physical advantage over non fighters, and once bodybuilders train fighting they have advantages over skinny MMA fighters under their weight class.

[@The11thDimension91]

Most of the "bodybuilders can't fight" takes are just mass compium for skinny fat non lifting guys who don't actually know how to fight either it makes them think their skinny fat untrained ass can match jacked dudes who lift heavy who also don't train for fighting. That being said not everybody has the potential to be an elite fighter; I boxed for 2 years & eventually quit cause I just figured that I was never going pro with all the competition.

[@getyoassonnnbwoi]

​@@The11thDimension91exactly

[@Marko-ij4vy]

@@The11thDimension91 Yeah being bigger and stronger is still advantage in a fight. Of course a trained fighter will beat up bigger guy who doesnt know how to fight but if the big guy actually knows how to fight and their fighting skill is evenly matched then the smaller guy is in trouble. There is a reason why there are weight classes in combat sports and there are some jacked fighters. Alistar Overeem and Brock Lesnar when they had match over 12 years ago they were absolute monsters. I doubt lower weight classes would stand chance against them. Ngannou is also pretty jacked and even Mike Tyson who is arguably one of the greatest boxers of all time was pretty jacked in his prime.

[@Stevemultiversaltree]

No even an untrained guy are better than body builders Bodybuilders just train muscles and being fragile and dont want to movewell because they think everything will kill their gains and lazy because theres a thing in bodybuilding called rest days they dont want to move because one move stress their musvles they think it will reduces gains But in untrained guy he doesnt care what happens goes in the bar helps his mom lift many weights doesnt care about his ego work job can movewell because he moves whenever he wants Probably a construction worker too and has better core strength because hes always in a work In addition bodybuilders are only guys who sits or lay in the bed editing his muscles and everything

They are different muscle groups. There is also speed and endurance.
