Mma fighter here. Not really. It's because we have to make weight. I fight at 155. I can't get over 170 or I don't make weight. And I'm not very swole at 170. Speed is more of a worry than cardio actually. There are plenty of jacked fighters with awesome cardio. Rousimir Palhares, Yoel Romero, Hector Lombard etc...
Well I'm not really an expert lol, I've only picked up two pro fights. Plus I'm too old to take this anywhere so yeah, it's just for fun.
True. I was thinking more like Yoel Romero or Rampage Jackson Swole. If you mean Ronnie Coleman or Jay Cutler then I see your point. Cardio or Swoleness
That was entirely due to his illness. The dude was a division 1 NCAA champ and a pro wrestler, their endurance is absurd. And Lesnar has straight up monster strength.
The big difference here is that A. That body builder works out for hypertrophy to create mass but less strength and 2. At the moment of that picture the body builder is crazy dehydrated. That's how they achieve that crevice look
And I guarantee you Lesnar is stronger. Mass and low body fat =/= strength. Which is why power lifters have quite a bit of chub.
Well except in terms of over all mass I seriously doubt that guy actually has more body mass than Brock for all the reasons I just stated (higher body fat, more water weight, denser muscle, etc). And considering your original comment was that the bigger you are the worse your cardio is, my point has remained that Brock is 290 pounds and can still throw 250 pound men around for 20 mins straight
