Does having big muscles make you a better fighter?

What's wrong? Get your imaginary gf taken away again?

Does having long legs make you a fast runner ?

I've got a huge c*ck, what's their fight about?

All other things being equal, bigger muscles make you a better fighter.

When you say being a better fighter, what exactly are you asking? Having a lot of strength is indeed a huge benefit but it is not an end all. Someone with better striking skills can easily overcome that strength disadvantage. Often, overly muscular individuals are a bit sluggish in their movements. Most of the top UFC fighters have a background in wrestling, jui jitsui or another type of grappling skill. Machida is one of the few with a karate background. Outside of a knockout, the fight generally will go to the ground Wrestlers and grapplers have huge advantage there.

A wrestling UFC fighter can't do shit against an opponent with a knife. You can't stop someone with a knife from cutting you to ribbons except by running away.

You can test this against a friend with a magic marker. See if you can get the marker or otherwise subdue them without getting covered by ink.

Bruce Lee 135 pounds at 5'7". Probably could beat any man in the history of the world at unarmed combat. So the answer to your question is NO.

Bruce Lee was certainly not invincible. He lost his share of street fights.

This

It depends on who you are fighting, and the experience of the fighter. Professional fighters (especially boxers) have the fine motor control, peripheral vision, speed, hand-eye coordination, and reaction time needed to quickly parry, recover, and land blows without telegraphing their moves or being blocked. Raw strength does not create all of these attributes in and of itself. If it is a street fight, the element of surprise often plays a bigger role than strength - most people sucker-punch and few stand toe-to-toe.

Golly gee, thanks for the wisdom, Captain Obvious. What about a guy with a gun vs. a wrestling UFC fighter? Who would win that match-up?

Arnie destroyed everyone in his action flicks; He looked liked he had pretty big muscles.
