I've read a lot of copes about fighting ability, learning martial arts and so on, the greatest issue is that martial arts are way less useful than size when fighting.
Before you start to cope with "a trained fighter can beat a bigger untrained guy" continue to read.
UFC fighters are like the 0,000003% of men and they are the best in the world in what they do. A UFC champion is the top 1% of UFC fighters.
With strongmen the percentages are roughly the same.
So se can easily say that Conor McGregor and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson are the top 1% in their own sports.
Now, Conor McGregor is a guy with an average, we can even say slighly above average body and strenght due to his profession, but Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson doesn't have above average fighting skills (at least not when they sparred together, since he started training in boxing recently)
Now let's watch this video
As you can see, Thor could've killed Conor at any time. Despite him not having any fighting skill and despite the other being an UFC champion.
Other good examples are Bob Sapp,
Mariusz Pudzianowski and Brock Lesnar. The first one, before selling out and throw away matches, has beaten K1 legend Ernesto Hoost twice in a row, all this while starting fighting later in life.
The second one took MMA an hobby after winning strongman competitions, didn't do too great but was beating pros that trained their whole life just with bare strenght, and keep in mind they weighted as much as him. He would kill UFC fighters from 170 and down, and would give an hard time to guys up to 180 lbs, this while starting MMA at 36.
Brock Lesnar needs no introduction. Yeah, he had good wrestling, but what made his wrestling so effective was his bare strenght, he had absolutely zero striking and could take punches because of his huge neck.
On the other hand, you can pick the greatest fighters in their own weight cathegory and they would get mogged by top 5/10 guys, despite the lack of talent, just with bare weight and strenght. Again, Conor McGregor lost to bum Nate Diaz and would lose to anyone at 170, hell even at 155 he is having and hard time despite being unstoppable at 145. Khabib destroyed himself to have the strenght advantage at 150 because he walks around at 190 and his wrestling would not be effective at 170 (it wasn't effective even against Tibau who was a roided 155) and fucking Adesanya who seems unbeatable at 180 got mogged by oldcel Ian Blachowicz just with bare strenght in wrestling.
Yes, because wrestling is highly dependant on strenght, and at a certain point doesn't matter how skilled you are, the other one can simply brute strenght mog you and throw you away. It's a little bit different in boxing, where you can punch and dodge and even if you are a little less strong you can make it, but statistically it takes less punches for the other guy to KO you. Plus, in real life situations the fight usually goes to the ground.
Even this MMA trainer confirms what I say:
So what to do?
1) Get as big and strong as you can.
2) Learn some wrestling.
Instead of trying to cope with MMA your best bet is to roidmaxx as much as you can and learn some wrestling. Even if your wrestling skills are not as good as the next guy your strenght will make up for it.
Of course this applies only if you prioritize fighting success, but being as good looking and intimidating as you can is better than only being good looking.
Tldr: size beats fighting ability so prioritize the first one and train wrestling to use your size to your advantage.
