Worlds strongest man competitor vs mma competitor in close combat?

Who would win?

Let's say a little smaller than a usual octagon. Both are hopped up on PED's that they would normally use for their respective sports. No testing.

Edit: take it a step further......only 150lb below mma fighter.

There's a reason for weight classes.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Lol


Who lifts more weight, strongman or MMA fighter?

Take it a step further, only a 150 lb strongman.



P.s.
Who plays piano better, professional pianist or a bus driver?

Take it a step further, only an average pianist…

Aa 150lb pro fighter VS a 350lb strongman competitor in close confined space? I'll take the strongman competitor, unless this is like a true 'fight' where MMA fighter can do small joint manipulation, break fingers, poke eyes, rip ears etc. Or is this an actual like 'sanctioned' fight under rules?

A strongman competitor VS a 205lb fighter? I'll take the 205lb pro fighter all day.

i sincerely doubt anyone less than 250lbs can fight someone this size of brian shaw, eddie hall, or thor without being absolutely wrecked by even a glancing blow. do you realize how much force a 400+lb man can generate, and what kind of insulation they have against your strikes? literal worlds of difference. i'm 185 and they would literally swat me like a fly. i could get the best sucker punch possible and doubt it would do anything, their heads are fkn massive and insulated by a ton of fat.

look at the difference in how the bag moves around the 1:30 mark in this vid, and brian is literally not trying

So this was a thanksgiving argument between my older brother and his.....stepson or what have you. They're more into sports than I am but I keep myself informed as much as I can.


I tried to explain that the Thor vs Conor, and the Brian vs Dustin videos are only for show to get more clicks and more publicity for both of them and their respective sports. I will say if you watch the Thor and Conor video again look how quickly Thor gets close to Conor because his stride is like 3 steps of Conor's so if they fought its just one step and hes already at Conor's body and striking distance.


If Brian lands one punch or grabs hold of Dustin it would be all over. They kept telling me Dustin would slowly wear Brains legs down but I explained to them he has many inches of muscle, skin, and fat covering. They said Brain would gas way too early.....I disagreed and I think he would gas no doubt but not early enough for it to matter. Brian's one hand can wrap around the throat of Dustin's neck and never let go. It's just far beyond compare.

I don't think they comprehend the power Brain can execute. And my brother isn't the brightest bulb........
