Muscles in a fight are like horse power in racing. It matters a lot but it doesn't mean a 400 hp car can never beat a 700 hp car around a track. If you train bjj twice a week, you wouldn't beat a bodybuilder who is 50% heavier than you. Demetrious Johnson wouldn't beat Thor Bjornsson who is 150% heavier than him. But Demetrious Johnson would beat a bodybuilder who's 50% bigger than him.

I agree about the MMA guy, but I also think there's plenty of annoying body builders too. I think we're all so fucking annoying any time we say our hobbies make us better than each other. I started doing MMA to be like Naruto and I like to take shit personally - I'm not winning any personality contests any time soon.

Depends on for how long you have been training

That's because your hobbies aren't actually, objectively the coolest shit invented by mankind, you fucking kooks.

The reason people who love to say things like "Muscles don't matter. Knowing how to fight matters!" are so cringe is because they severely underestimate how much skill it takes to outweigh 30-50 pounds reliably. Most of them never trained seriously at all, they're just delusional.

It sure as shit isn't white trash on wheels either.

muscles =/= athleticism
Some bloated powersharter that can bench 400lbs but can't scratch his own back and gets winded walking up a flight of stairs is not a formidable opponent for any intermediate martial artist (unless you're some 120lbs turbo manlet). Same goes for your average bodybuilder who in the grand scheme of things is probably not even that strong and poor overall athleticsim.
Now a guy that's explosive and fast, and legit has top 1% genetics (like a D1 football player or something) AND lifts weights, that's where things become problematic and where the real "strength vs skill" debate begins.

When it comes to people that are untrained, it barely matters. Especially if that weight "advantage" is derived from a guy just being an out of shape fat ass.
Even at an amateur level it's not that big of a deal. I'm 180lbs and I regularly dunk on dudes 40 pounds heavier than me in sparring. I've even had a couple smokers in local shoddy competitions where there was a big weight difference (20lbs-30lbs pounds) because my opponents failed to make weight/the organization was crummy and they'd match you up with whomever and it was fine. You can see it in those YouTube fight orgs as well, like Streetbeefs, which have dubious match ups in terms of size, but smaller guys manage to come out on top frequently.
If anything "muh weight classes" is super overrated because most people are just hobbyists that will never reach a level where weight becomes the truly limiting factor

being a fan and promotor of skateboarding has to be the most embarrassing thing on earth. The whole culture is based around doing heroin and not contributing to anything.
