UFC vs World's Strongest Man

[Anzie]

Ever seen those shows? When human beings lift like 450 kilos, do 300 kilos in benchpress et cetera.

 

How do you think he would do in the octagon for instance?

[Kung Fu Hamster]

That's quite a tough question actually. Probably the world's strongest man... They could probably take more pain and hit them a lot harder

[WolverineGuy]

Overly muscular guys suck...I HATE grappling them...and God only knows beating the crap out of em isn't easy either. Thank God that most of em are slow.

[TJS]

they would be too slow...a talented striker would proabably have little trouble KO ing them.

I've watched some of these competitions on ESPN. Personally I don't think they would fare that well. Carrying an anchor doesn't give you any skills other than a good resume for salvage work. Most of the competitors can't put their arms down(because their lats are so big) and probably don't have too much flexibility. I'm sure if they landed a puch it would break bone, but the punch would take a minute to get there. They'd probably have a better chance in the sumo circle than the octagon.

The worlds strongest man would loose against UFC fighter simply because if they are fighting then the Worlds strongest has no fighting skill or ability and UFC fighter does. the worlds strongest man would be able to lift and throw the UFC fighter with ease, but UFC fighter is the one trained for 'fighting' and would win.

[Tombstone]

I agree with MartialArtist1.

 

Put a person with no experience up against someone trained to fight and the trained fighter will win most of the time.

i think you have to respect the fact that they are so strong i mean simply with bodys that muscular and strong they could really Ko someone with a punch, imagine the strenght behind it. however UFC are trained fighters and i dont think they could take fighting pain esspecially well, i mean the pain is different. it snot pain from enduring a 200kg weight, its things which penetrate, i mean a sort of 'whipping' kind of power that Bruce Lee said. i really reckon however that grappler would have a very hard time, i mean lets see you apply the guard position on them, they would crush you. you have to imagine how strong they are. a striker would have a much better chance. another thing, many martial arts wer ebuilt on the basis of overcoming the stronger opponent, so if they dont work on there guys when will they? im sure they do. i mean a really fast martial artist could give a few really solid strikes everynow and then, i think a hit and run strategy would be required. a few eye pokes, punches and maybe wear him down with some kicks to his knee. it would be a good fight. i think this does say to grapplers though that sometimes you need striking, you cant always assume you can grapple just as you can always assume you can strike.

Former world's strongest man competitor and world amateur sumo champ Mark Robinson has ventured into the cage a few times.

 

Once he made it into the UFC, he bullrushed Bobby Hoffman into the cage, and Hoffman summarily dropped him with a forearm to the side of the head.

 

In the post-fight interview, Hoffman told Robinson to "go lift some more weights."

We have a guy training with us who got 6th in the world's strong man competition.

 

He is surprisingly fast and has good endurance (which you need to pull an aeroplane, carry large stone balls etc).

 

He went in one of our comps and took down an experienced blue belt after less than a month's training. He subsequently lost however that was due to little knowledge. After three months training he won the pan-pacs in BJJ for the white-belt division.

 

So I wouldn't discount a strong-man. With only a small amount of training they would be very formidable opponents.
