Untrained 400lb Strongest Man Demolishes 210 lb Bjj Blackbelt In Grappling

[Jon eddward]

Also, at 14:06 thor gives him armbar position and it is impossible for the 210 lb bjj blackbelt to armbar him.

Some context:
The mountain won world's strongest man 2018, europes 5/6 times in last 6 years, arnolds strongman 3 times. He holds the deadlift world record at 501 kg(1,104 lbs). With 4 weeks of prep as a side off season fun he totaled 1,100 kg (2,425 lbs) which was close to a long standing world record in powerlifting. He's 6 ft 9 and in his off season and off gear in this clip. He's about 360 lbs(163 kg) with abs here, just months earlier when he set the deadlift world record he was 460 lbs with visible abs.
He has 0 training in bjj or any sort of grappling but says he has done it for fun a few times.

He is rolling with a 210 lb bjj black belt.

The bjj blackbelt has to tap multiple times and can't do anything to him, even when they start with thor already in an armbar position, he can't armbar thor.

I always wondered what would happen in this sort of scenario, at what point does size become too much to where even lhw/hw bjj blackbelts would still just get destroyed. With thors weight and strength he could literally just leverage himself ontop of the other person and relax while causing 500 or 600 lbs of force to be sitting on them, which is a crushing weight even for very strong people.

It's too bad the ufc has a 265 lb weight limit, I don't think thor would ever do ufc but who knows in the future when someone as strong as thor who actually got interested in mma wanted to compete but couldn't because of the weight limit.

Nobody cares.

 

[ShreddinMMA]

You're a jabroni if you think that guy could actually compete in MMA.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

The Mountain is the world's strongest man.Most 400 pound guys are fat tub of lard. Just because the Mountain can do it doesn't mean anyone with a size advantage is gonna crush a trained person

 

[Fahcough]

typical BJJ class. Lay down and let me sit on your face to show you how tough we are. No don't fight it. Stop moving, just sit still. Don't hit me. Just lay there and let me show you how good I can fight.

1- USADA

2- Cardio



but cool shit otherwise. I too am curious as to the freak show aspect of it and how trained martial artists would deal with the size and strength difference.

just because he is a black belt it doesn't mean he is a good black belt. I think some guys would make it.

 

[dascrum]

thats awesome.

 

[chinarice]

Khabib subs him inside 1 minute. Both of them.

Pudzianowski (best WSM of all time) being a very mediocre MMA fighter sorta disproves your point.

the thing with strongman is it has gotten progressively heavier and better competition over the years. When Pudz was winning it was 1. much easier to win, 2. more agility and speed were involved rather than pure strength. Another thing is he was much lighter than thor, and even moreso lighter when he competed in mma after retiring from strongman. There's a massive difference in strength between a 260 lb pudz and a 450 lb thor.

Also I'm not really saying thor or anyone with his level of strength, cardio and athleticism would necessarily do good in mma, I would want to see that more out of curiosity. Bjj or any other form of pure grappling is a different story though.

Ngannou would crush his jaw

Isn't he fighting other giants like Sylvia, Sapp, Butterbean, etc?

 

[Repsac]

The Mountain said in the video he had some experience rolling with guys in the gym. So seems like he's not completely untrained either. But yea, that's just a massive size AND strength gap.

But technique still has something to say. Here's The Mountain getting toyed with in armwrestling:



Of course the guy toying with him met his match against this freak of nature (maybe not just nature ha):

 

[Hotora86]

Isn't he fighting other giants like Sylvia, Sapp, Butterbean, etc?

He's also fighting low tier guys like Thompson, McCorkle, Bedorf... and losing despite being obv stronger physically.

He did KO a Gracie tho so maybe strength beats BJJ (jk)

 

[mmaday4day]

Nobody cares.

I care.

Hes also much smaller, doing it inside the 265lb weight limit and at the tail of his career.

true

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Such a clickbait thread, the guy was simply training and learning...sure the mountain is strong as fuck and could easily prevent the guy from extending his arm...but not after a solid amount of time grappling, he would gas and eventually give up a limb.

Sherdog is becoming like fucking youtube...

You seem to know a lot about the strongman , but do you know anything about the BJJ guy , other than that he's 210 pounds ?
Since strong guy is a world champ at strongman stuff , wouldn't it be appropriate to put him up against a BJJ world champion ?
