Strongman training isnt useful for MMA at all /sarcasm
Tim Silvia vs Pudz is a poor example and should be taken with a grain of salt in this discussion. Pudz didnt lose because he wasnt strong enough. Pudz got beat because Tim outclassed him. I have hope for Pudz in MMA, but he cant walk into the cage like a brawler thinking he’s gonna beat guys that put maybe a decade in their skills training.
OP, give it a shot, it wont hurt you.
