    People doing Jiu Jitsu or MMA are rarely muscular, as that is detrimental to their performance. They want the most amount of strength and agility at the lowest possible bodyweight, so putting on unnecessary muscle would be a disadvantage. If you take a look at the highest ranking MMA fighters they are all at a pretty low bodyweight for their height

    The average American man probably has more muscle than a world class MMA fighter, it’s just hidden under a thick layer of bodyfat

      This is so wrong it’s wild. Go watch CJI or ADCC the heavyweights are ripped. Nick Rod who won CJI last year is absolutely jacked. Even the smaller weight guys like Jay and Nicky Ryan are very muscular and that’s just BJJ, if you’re talking about MMA fighters not being muscular that’s even more nuts, just go look at UFC roster or ONE FC roster and you’ll see most guys are crazy muscular.

      “The average American man probably has more muscle than a world class MMA fighter” haha… What?..

        Well, I guess it depends on the threshold where you consider someone muscular. I wouldn’t call any of those guys you mentioned muscular. Above average for sure, but a joke compared to people that casually lift weights for a few years
