Jacked-up bodybuilder vs MMA fighter who will win?

[LJJ]

Mariusz Pudzianowski has a 6-3 record against some of the worst known HW fighters of all time which is not bad but yeah unless the MMA fighter is a complete scrub or a part timer the jacked up body builder get's trashed 99% of the time.

Pudzianowski was a strongman competitor though. An actual professional athlete who trained for physical performance, not just a roided up freak body builder.

So he's a step up and can only beat complete scrubs so a bodybuilder would only do even worse. That just further proves that he bodybuilder would have little to zero chance.

of course, the pro who trains to fight and defend and has technical knowledge in punching, kicking, grappling, and blocking is gonna win.

A gorilla doesn't have any fighting knowledge, just pure strength. You don't think the MMA fighter will win do you?

the topic is human to human, not human to wild beast.

As always, the answer is "depends"

- Location
- Weight difference
- Natural athleticism
- etc

Someone like Shaq, who was 7'1 300 lbs but extremely mobile in his younger days should win more often than not with 3 months training against a 5'3 125 lbs MMA fighter such as Demetrious Johnson. The weight/height/reach/power advantage should be too much.

Look at the shape of that dude's ass.

No homo.

If you saw DragonBall Z you would know why a body builder would lose everytime...

Trunks had a lot of muscle and fought Cell and lost due to less mobility etc...

[Thorpesaurous]

Weight differential is a big deal here.


How about a world class smaller guy, like a BJ Penn, facing off against a pro-am level MMA guy who's a heavyweight, like one of those guys who fights in local promotions at Indian Casinos in the midwest, but he's got a 40 lb. weight advantage. Weight, even bad weight, can be a serious factor in a small space.

[Myth]

MMA fighter who's been training/ taking punches for years>>>>>>>>>>>> anybody who has not

Besides that dude is obviously roided up and probably would tear something or get injured an hour into MMA training

Also, the body builders are not built for speed. The ONLY thing they have over the MMA fighter is strength.

that would be terrible to see... synthol leaking from all body parts.. yuck...

You guys forget that bodybuilders dont train for strength either they train for size. And also just because a dude can bench 450 and squat 750 or whatever doesnt mean they can generate some unbelievable force with a punch. Punching strength comes more from explosiveness not raw strength. If the reverse were true someone that can squat 800 lbs would have a vertical of 50 inches. So an MMA fighter would most certainly be able to punch much harder than any bodybuilder.

I wonder if a bodybuilder can take the punishment better than most since they look like walking muscles. So much so that a kick to the body, unless hitting vital part, doesn't do much.

Also, they might not punch good, but what about their pushing/pulling/lifting/grabbing power? I wonder if they can lift and throw a 150 lbs guy easily into the air or pull so hard to dislocate arms.

Meaning the other 3 times the bodybuilder is fighting Michael Bisping in a title eliminator

a fight is a fight. Those other 3 times are for those lucky punches
