Is having a Buff and Ripped Muscles an advantage in MMA?

[dudefacemcghee]

no..... being big and muscly is not an ideal body type for combat

I think it is for like one round.

Can't really pay any attention to your threads because of your AV.

well not all fights end in the 1st.... so again, its not the best body type for combat

Tattoos of animals more specifically..... preferably a mammal of some kind

Yup.
Also it seems that with each sticker my cousin puts on his car he seems to gain 1-2 hp. Sponsors count...they do...

more weight to the car converts to more torque on the back wheels, duh

Tattoos help though. Especially neck tats.

Absolutely true. That shows how great Holly Holm is, knocking out Ronda, without any tattoo

It's only important if you're canadian since 99.5% of canadians are gay

You can believe your warped view of reality if that's what you really think.

Anyways, back to a more rational discussion. Too much muscle mass will affect a figher's endurance due to oxygen consumption hence why being overly "buff" would be detrimental. Fitness, core strength and athleticism combined with a high skillset is far more advantageous.

is having bit tits and big ass advantageous in MMA?

It is for me.

It's not gay, it's called metrosexuality.
It just happens that we're well groomed and have better hygiene compared to our North American Hillbilly counterpart.

GOAT says no.

Arlovski's Chin don't have muscles, even his beard can't provide any extra protection.

 

[Chillez]

It doesn't hurt to have some muscle.

 

[VitorReem]

weirdest and most disappointing fight ever. I wouldve bet my fucking house one of them was getting laid out.




side note muscles are always an advantage for breeding purposes

It's an advantage in that it typically means your strong(er) but it's definitely not ideal for combat (although many fighters have proven that point to be contestable i.e. Ubereemm, Shamrock, etc.) Generally speaking though, being buff would probably best be connected to a disadvantage: a smaller gas tank - due to the vast amount of needed oxygen.

Note that their is a HUGE difference between being "buff" and being lean.
