Mr.O should be chosen from athletes at least 6 feet tall, to demonstrate physical excellence and be comparable with normal people, and i'm not even saying towering them.
When a 180 cm person looks down at best bodybuilder in the world, you know something is wrong.

Being tall is actually much more impressive than having shredded glutes.

GH hand of peace.

bodybuilders and MMA fighters r helping eachother alot the last few years,each can benefit from eachother with training and diet

Machida is 185cm, and bodybuilding is about illusion. Who got the complete package wins and taller guys are mostly in disadvantage.

Phil is normally handsome among bodybuilders but here he looks kinda ugly vs Machida. 
90% of women would choose Machida over Phil anyway. Full hair,athletic build and taller. Most women will find Phils arms freaky.

This is getbig, we don't say *pic* we say 'Pictor'

You're dead on. I've been telling bodybuilders that forever. If you have a real athlete's build instead of a bloated drug build women will find you more attractive. The women who think steroid bodybuilders are hot are usually a little off in the head. On a side note how fast would Machida take out Phil in the Octagon?

I think it's the opposite. Compared to actual top athletes bodybuilders have jelly muscle and don't have real power. When your whole body is hard as nails, no matter the size and works as a single unit without trouble you can talk about power. Compared to Machida Phil is what Vegeta in dragonball z would call "a powder puff".

Compared to gym rats and regular joes bodybuilders are bad ass, but when compared to any athlete at top level bodybuilders are just a silent reflection of them, truth.

There is a difference between power and strength. They are related yet they are two separate entities. Power lifting should be called strength lifting and Olympic lifting should be called power lifting.

When a 5'10" powerlifter who squats 8oolbs can't touch the rim of a basketball hoop but a 5'10" guy who squats 350lbs can that's a demonstration of power. When a guy who benches 225lbs can punch harder than a guy who benches 450lbs that's power. Power is how quickly you can release your strength.  Most Olympic lifters while having incredible strength have amazing power. Most can sprint a good time and do amazing vertical leaps. You won't find many powerlifters who can say that.

Phil would DESTROY that dude in the ring.

Way more muscle, much bigger hands, and pro level genetics.

for the record, none of this really makes sense. just going by physics definitions (work = force*distance; power = work/time) you're just talking apples and oranges. power has nothing to do with how fast you move, it has to do with what you did for that time. an 800lb squat is, without question, a feat of greater power than dunking a basketball. period.

more than that, jumping and punching don't even use the same muscle movements as squatting and benching. a punch is a unilateral movement that uses a lot of hips, jumping uses a lot of ankle strength and a very narrow dip. unless you're punching someone with both arms at the same time while lying down or someone jumps by dropping ass to ankles first you might as well compare deadlifting with climbing a tree. they're not even related.

bodybuilders are much "athletes" as runway models, but this jimjam about strength and power and how a dude who can jump or throw a punch is more "powerful" is just nonsense.

[Fortress]

Did they share a glass of piss?

[WOOO]

pro bodybuilders look so hilariously useless... pathetic

[The Abdominal Snoman]

My Buddy was at a party where Machida was drunk as fuck. My friend is 5'10 and Machida was an inch shorter than him. Just how tall is Phil claiming to be these days?

[thebrink]

Who's seminar was this?

[Parker]

Phil would DESTROY that dude on the court.

Way more muscle, much bigger hands, and pro level genetics.  I can see it now, Phil setting up Lyoto for the fade away.

fixed.

Shit, that'd undo every O since Arnold.

Power has everything to do with speed.... the less time it takes to do a given amount of work (ie: the faster one moves), the more power generated.

Machida is actually 5'5 in that pic
