Jesus he's a big fucker

For anyone who doesn't know, "The Mountain" is Hafthor Björnsson, the 2nd strongest man in the world behind Big Z.

Hope that's true.

Big Z is really strong:

Strongmen haven't had the best of luck in mma thus far.

- It's true, people see movies and think they're gonna rip members of like Bane does or are gonna withstand enormous punishment like Fujita did.

What Cuckster said. Too much muscle can be a detriment. Most top fighters fall in around 100-110 kg regardless of height which is weird.

Point of diminishing returns Galt. Yeah the added mass and absolute strength help but at the 120KG mark agility, coordination, cardio etc etc begin to diminish.

90-120kg guys are still big mofos. The designers of boxing's weight classes understood this which is why HW is "open" or 80KG+

There is no need for a super HW, HW dudes will beat them at the top level.

Had this talk with the jew a couple of weeks ago. At my heaviest I was 115 kg. I'm pretty sure 80 kg Glat fucks him up through speed.
