mma fighting is mostly determined by your gas tank/cardio,providing the skill level is somewhat close.if anyone here thinks for a second that ronnie or dex could fight hard for more then 3 to 5 minutes straight they are sadly decieved.the guys who train know what im talking about,also just because you bench press alot doesnt mean you know how to throw a PROPER punch.most big strong guys that i see hit heavy bags in bodybuilding gyms throw arm punches and punch wrong on top of that.just like bodybuilders spend thousands of hours lifting and posing,these guys spend the same amount of time perfecting the art of fighting and know how to break limbs.i do agree ronnies arm is much stronger then bj penns arm but if bj gets ronnie in a deep arm bar its over for ronnie,now its ronnies one arm against bj,s whole body leverage.for any of you guys that consider yourself strong all you have to do is go into a reputable bjj academy and ask one of the blue belt and upper students to place you in a tight arm bar,you can even ask someone 50 lbs lighter then you if it makes you feel better,then see if you can escape it by using force.the thing is when your caught in a submission the more strength you use to pull out the more your straining your tendons and ligaments.i do know guys who bodybuild and take mma classes and are doing pretty well,but they admitted to me that they had to get off most of the drugs they where on cause they would gas in 2 minutes,the only thing you can use is alittle E.Q. and deca imo.ive used them both with no adverse affects on my cardio when i competed.most of the other bjj/mma guys who do use juice use the E.Q and deca also.one guy when on a heavy dbol and test cycle,i try to tell him its not a good idea,anyway he gassed in 3 minutes and his forearms and bis got so pumped he couldnt even grip the guy anymore in his first match of the night,lol.i do agree anything can happen in a fight but lets be real,bodybuilders do what they do and thats build muscle and show it off,they couldnt care less about fighting thats why they aint pro fighters,mma guys couldnt care less about having 20 inch biceps but rather having leaner more functional muscle tissue.its 2 different sports,i do believe strength is important but bjj was designed by the gracie family for that sole purpose,to use leverage to beat a stronger man.a japenese traveler from japan came to brazil in the early 1900,s to learn the custom of brazil among other things business wise,the gracies helped him and took him into thier home,the japanese guy just happened to be a very good jiu jitsu practitioner.he offered to teach them the art for all the hospitality the gracies showed to him,they accepted.helio gracie,who is in his 90,s now, and i shit you not that hed kick most peoples asses even now.helio used to sit in and watch the elder gracies teaching the art the students but realized he would never be any good at it cause alot of the moves required alittle more strength then he had,he was a frail kid,110lbs as a teenager.so he started to modify the moves so you didnt need as much strength but rather levarage and technique.no one paid him any mind until one day one of the gracie teachers was runnuing late to start class and helio said ill start it and the students agreed,the funny thing was little helio was submitting much bigger men then him and quickly got everyones attention.the gracie elders where so impressed that they let helio teach his own classes and gracie jiu jitsu was born.helios philosiphy was with enough levarage you can move the world.levarage is the heart and soul of bjj,its being able to seize another mans limb and use the strength of your whole body to attack that one limb of that person.im not gonna sit here and say bj penn would destroy ronnie and all that stuff because like i said anything can happen in a fight,but bj penn is one of the sports superstars who is a genetic freak in mma.ronnie is a super powerful human being and i dont think anyone,including mma fighters would dominate ronnie in his window period,BUT ronnie would only have a window of oppurtunity for 3 to 5 minutes before his gas tank and lactic acid build up would start to give him problems,and we all seen what happens when a fighter gasses.im sure in that time frame he has the ability to hurt anyone on the planet.think about a gorilla for a second,a gorilla has no puching technique or bjj training,i shouldnt say that cause these days everyones training bjj,lol.but put a gorilla in the octagon and put a mouth guard on him so he cant use his teeth to bight someones nuts off,and i cant imagine anyone choking out a gorilla cause they dont even have necks,thier traps are so huge,lol.theres no way anyones gonna armbar a gorilla imo,i know it sounds like im contradicting myself here but hear me out.we are talking about an animal that has the strength of prolly 4 ronnie colemans,it would be kinda like taking the worlds fastest human and putting him in a race against a greyhound dog or a cheetah.it doesnt mean that the trained runner is not training right it just means that everything has its limitations,phil baroni, the mma fighter is real close friends with jay cutler,ken shamrock is best friends with big dan freeman,the top national bodybuilder years ago.like i said athletes bad mouthing each other doesnt do anyone any good in the end,rampage jokes on everyone including other mma fighters,hes always joking and anyone who follows mma knows he meant no disrespect to any bodybuilders,peace
if you read this you where either very bored or very interested,lol,either way thanks
