Bodybuilders don't know how to fight. They just have size. Period. They live in a fantasy thinking that lifting weights translates to being able to fight.It takes training as a fighter to fight. When I was younger, I used to beat the crap out of guys twice my size... I was stronger and faster... because my body was adapted for fighting. I used to weigh between 180-185 fighting. I remember in high school this kid he was 230 and could bench 315 for reps (big deal in grade 10 lmao)... for whatever reason him and his schmoes thought they'd pick on me. I humiliated his ass he couldn't even stand planted. Lets just say it didn't last long. Afterwards, as is typical of high school.. he became my buddy Fighters can be skinny, fat, somewhat muscular, but they will be able to fight... BBers can be as ripped and huge as they want, but they won't be able to fight worth shit except have the psychological effect of being 'tough' and 'dangerous' due to size. Ego.Now on the other hand is a different story, I can't fight worth shit as I would pull muscles, hurt joints, etc... as I ONLY lift weights and don't train for fighting. Stopped shortly into my marriage training martial arts.BBing is all aesthetics... period.. any strength you gain from it is a side effect.Martial arts training is all about practicality... whatever strength, speed, durability, flexibility, etc... you build is for practical application of fighting
bodybuilding has nothing to do with fighting you know this, the only correlation is general ego and napolion complexes. however there are some big muscular dudes who dont call themselves bodybuilders out in the real world that are verrry dangerous.
I find it particularly funny to watch that vid and then immediately go to this:
Meh I still get a good chuckle from seeing ego filled guys at the gym think they're tough as shit because of size
what he did had nothing to do with training he was simply nervous and overwhelmed, he froze, his heart rate was probably 130 when he started, he panicked, some people get overwhelmed by the whole eperience, having said that he should have known this and not gone into fighting if you are like this. Just cause he reacts like that in the ring does not mean he is a total pussy if you got in fight with him at the bar, or maybe he is
Maybe he thought it was going to be a musclefight aka posedown. The promoter probably booked him to guest pose and pulled a switcheroo on him. Thats why he looked so confused when the other guy started throwin shots at his head. He was just tryin to get some space so he could do a most muscular shot and it wouldve been lights out for the other guy. He looked like he was about to cry when they gave him a medal for second place.
He's simply not a fighter, in or outside the ring.
Actually, he was fighting for his life.
