"size and bulk have long worked against combat athletes"
Try telling that to alistair overeem.
true he is an outlier but he is also a convicted PED user.
it is commonly accepted that bulk works against conditioning and conditioning is one of the most important aspects of combat sports.
ask mark coleman what that head kick from pete williams felt like.
i think all the combat athletes aside from the heavy's would argue that increasing their strength to weight ratio is more important than simply adding size.
