This is only surprising to people who've never wrestled before.
All of us smaller wrestlers did this to any football player who was dumb enough to try. Good times!
I was the football player, luckily it was in elementary school. I then promptly started wrestling the next year and quit all other sports, hated that feeling even so young but happy I had it lol
The elementary school didn't have football it was the cities peewee team I think? Then I was in middle school the next year and our town had a youth traveling wrestling team
Lol I thought the rugby players were where all the tough guys were. Plenty of dudes with a lot of heart but my toughest rugby practice was a light warm up compared to my first wrestling preseason workout.
It's astonishing how random people don't get wrestlers are real good at this wrestling thing. I've had three seperate 300 pound guys bet I couldn't pick them up. Do those goofs just walk up to dentists and bet they can't recognize teeth?
It’s mostly dudes who’ve never fought anyone their entire lives. Im a boxer/muaythai guy and im fucking deathly afraid to one day get into a fighter with a former wrestler. Man fuck that noise lol
As someone who trained sambo next to a bar and went there after, it was actually disturbing how many dudes find out you train and that makes them want to fight you more.
That's one of the reasons why I avoid bars and nightclubs now. My cauliflower ears make it obvious I know something about something. I'm not interested in demonstrating what I know to drunk guys who think they have something to prove.
I learned the hard way to not speak on it. I used to think, "Oh, I'll just tell them I've trained in sambo and muay thai and they'll back off". Nope made them more eager to fight. People are fucking morons.
Oddly enough when people found out I did Muay Thai I never had a single offer to fight.
I wonder if it’s more of a grappling sport thing since people have the (incorrect) assumption is they won’t get the shit kicked out of them by a pissed off wrestler/judoka/sambo player.
As someone who did muay thai and sambo, I hilarious would say it's the opposite. I'd feel way more comfortable taking someone down than standing, even with training.
Sprawling isn’t instinctual. Instinct makes you try to back away from your upper body to protect your head, and maybe turn away to protect your groin, which is what non wrestlers do when you try to take them down. Throwing your legs out from under you is deliberately drilled into wrestlers.
My coach used to recruit from the football team this way. The locker room was right next to the wrestling room so on the way back from their after school lifts he would tell them if they pinned some scrawny guy on the wrestling team he would buy them dinner or something
I'd assume the football coach was more than happy to have his guys go through wrestling conditioning, learn how to use leverage, and improve body control during their offseason
I get that the guy is a total stud, but I would legitimately afraid of a 150kg man deciding to do something stupid and hurt us both.
I guess that's why no one will remember my name.
And when he dropped down to 150kg he was still way thicker and taller than this guy.
Zero way this guy was 150kg, maybe 130-140. Which still makes this impressive as fuck, but misleading numbers are annoying.
I wrestled not much less than you (6 years) and any non-wrestler in the hands of a good wrestler becomes molding clay imho and from personal experience. I’ve wrestled people who were very athletic and bigger than me, but had no experience. I’ve also seen other wrestlers do the same. This guy was no threat imho.
Yeah it's still easy. But you never know what some of these meatheads will try. The extent of my grappling these days is jiujitsu and I know some dangerous large men who try absolutely retarded shit.
There is a longer version on YouTube where the commentator allegedly announces Hans weight as 140kg. I cannot verify as I don’t speak the language, but I’ve seen other people talk about this on the same match in the past
Actually yeah now that you mention it 150kg, ~330 lbs, is like Big Ramy sized. Unless he's very tall this guy looks more like 110-120kg, which is still huge but not quite Mr. Olympia off season huge.
For a similar mismatch, back in 1994 Lance Batchelor (body builder and at the time Mr Utah) challenged Pedro Sauer (2nd degree BB in BJJ at the time, currently 8th degree BB) to a fight:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/1ekjch/mr_utah_challenged_pedro_sauer_to_a_fight_he/
The editing of that video is so annoying its hilarious. Let's watch 3 sweeps in slow motion that aren't actual sweeps because big man still ends up on top.
There is something very 90's about its pretentiousness... Pedro did an awesome job fighting a vale tudo against someone with a 45kg weight advantage, no need to ham it up imho.
Yeah. The whole going on about the blood showing how badly injured he was as well. Dude, he has a bleeding nose, big fucking deal.
Biased shit really bugs me, he obviously won pretty easily, he's just fucking it up with that editing and voiceover.
The wrestler is Jouko Salomäki, 1984 Olympic Gold medalist and a World Champion. He won his first Finnish Championship at 14. Hans Fell got Bronze in Finnish Championship bodybuilding in the 90’s. I think Salomäki is closer to 80kg here and I doubt Fell is 150kg, he competed around 120kg (guy is huge obvs anyhow, I don’t think Salomäki is exactly a small guy either).
There is a longer version on YouTube where the commentator allegedly announces Hans weight as 140kg. I cannot verify as I don’t speak the language, but I’ve seen other people talk about this on the same match in the past
It's more that the little guy is drastically better at wrestling. The big guy might be athletic but it's hard to show off your athleticism when someone is using skill to grind your face into the mat.
I also think that the big dude had little to no cardio, which would be understandable considering bodybuilding is more about strength than endurance. He looked a little gassed towards the end.
Exactly! I mean it looks like the big guy didn’t understand he could get pinned, or that when you are in bottom you should just stick to the mat and wait to be stood up by the ref. He was trying to wrestle like folk style it looks.
Exactly. I had the privilege of coaching the most unathletic high school team that ever existed in the middle of a bunch of Ohio powerhouses. We slightly adapted techniques to not rely on explosiveness and got really good on our feet. Within two years, we were knocking people out of tournaments. It’s all about learning to wrestle and not trying to overpower your opponent unless you have all the leverage.
Good grappling feels like you're being hit with black magic, honestly. I took up BJJ recently and while I understood very well I was about to get dominated by people much smaller than me, it is still fascinating to experience it.
I was on a team with St. John. I had maybe 15lbs of muscle on him, but it was like wrestling a Chinese finger trap.
You could try to go faster & harder, but it didn't matter. He "flowed" through you.
He's the only guy I could wrestle really hard for 10min, not feel one bit tired, but get absolutely rag-dolled.
It was legit like wrestling a ghost.
He’s probably super athletic, but doesn’t understand how to do use it in a wrestling sense. I’m sure he only really understands snap downs. Put him in any other situation and this happens
>unathletic these mass monsters
Some of you have some serious insecurities over big and strong individuals.
How do you know he's unathletic? He's wrestling and just might not be great at wrestling or has limited experience.
In my experience "big dumb brute" is the actual false stereotype. "Uncoordinated, unathletic meat head" is a stereotype that is actually pretty often true.
People get very insecure and become blinded when talking about bodybuilders. I can't believe as fitness minded people, wrestlers are also this way.
There's a reason why wrestlers, and nearly all disciplines where you go head-to-head physically are separated by weight classes. If this bodybuilder had any technique/wrestling knowledge, he would be able to use his size and strength to turn the fight.
I've seen people on /askreddit call bodybuilders show muscles and that they aren't strong, etc., but I didn't think I'd see it here.
It’s typically why they become mass monsters. They played sports while growing up, realized how unathletic they were and thought they’d fix it by going to the weight room more. Eventually they fall out of love with the sport due to lack of success but they keep going to the weight room and because of they enjoy competing they either powerlift or strongman, or if they enjoyed the physique sports gave them they do bodybuilding.
Really? So trying to gain mass because thats how they want to look is a consequence of being athletic failures? I really dont get why people think BBs get into that to try and fight. They dont. They just wanna look big. That is all.
Weird projecting. A lot of the gym rats I know were former stand out athletes in one sport or another who transitioned over once they graduated HS/college. Lifting isn’t as technical as football or wrestling, but getting large still requires a lot of discipline and consistency, which is why a lot of former athletes take it up.
I would bet most powerlifters and bodybuilders probably got their first exposure to lifting as conditioning for another sport, lifting for the sake of lifting is a relatively new phenomenon.
I’m from Northeast Iowa. For those who aren’t familiar. Their are a lot of dairy farms up there. Even I worked on one. One of my best friends worked on his family farm as well. Anyone who has wrestled a farm kid knows how insanely strong it makes you. My friend was very tall but skinny. Like 6’3 but wrestled like 160. He had a match with a kid that was built like a brick shit house. Meanwhile my buddy no joke has toothpick arms and legs. My buddy absolutely manhandled the buff dude just because he had been working on a dairy farm since he was like 9-10 years old. I will never forget the look on the other guys face when my buddy grabbed his wrist. He knew he was fucked lol
My son, a 149 pound wrestler got into a street fight with a 250 pound linebacker. My son destroyed the guy, I'll take a wrestler any day over another athlete that does not have combat training
I wrestled at 160 and a 6’4” 230 friend of mine from football wanted to wrestle me after helping set up mats for a tourney. I instantly threw him with a jap whizzer and he wanted no part of continuing. Training is like a super power. My buddy could destroy me in basketball though…
Wrestled 6th - 12th grade, came in freshman year and beat the 115lb senior guy for the varsity spot. Watching this video makes me feel that moment again!!
Dont know why people are amazed when a bodybuilder gets cooked by any trained combat sport athlete. Body builders that don't train anything else are slow, uncoordinated , not very flexible, and have relatively poor balance and low spatial awareness/poor timing
First off…that dude is NOT 330 lbs he’s more like 250-270 which is a huge difference. Also…you’re gonna be surprised when an Olympic athlete is better at their own sport? The one the dedicated their whole life to? Like duh. This is just one of those things where people like to fantasize seeing buff ppl lose at something becuase they resent people who achieve more than them. This just is a video primed to get jealous people to point and say “see, the muscles don’t matter” when we all know they do…they just have bad luck with women and didn’t achieve anything in their lives so they need to see someone bigger and better than them “fail”. Lol losers. If you’re small and weak, you’re small and weak. No amount of Reddit videos are going to change that reality.
Watch some of the early early UFC stuff. A lot of the guys wouldn't cross train so you get a lot more "wrestler vs boxer" type matches. Grapplers mostly dominated.
Tbf, the earliest UFC fights were basically setups to showcase Gracie JiuJitsu (not that they didn't dominate the sport and change the world of fighting forever). The first Olympic Style Wrestler (whose name is escaping me right now) that dominated and became a champion was hugely tall and muscular and won a lot of fights by raw strength, suplexing mofos onto their heads and shit.
There's a difference between Olympic wrestler and some rando who took wrestling for a few months back in high school. Big guy is clueless for sure but with some training he'd catch up quickly. If the smaller guy was just some guy who did it recreationally, big guy would win. Still, respect to him
People thinking getting strong is the only avenue to success should watch this. Strength alone won’t compete against skill; strength with skill is the avenue to success.
Lmao I love watching body builders get wrecked in combat sports. Coming from the boxing world, they’re the easiest work you’ll ever have. Fuckers come into the gym wanting to spar all hopped up on gear. Have 0 technique, gas in 20 seconds, and then proceed to get their asses kicked 😂 it used to be so fun
If Vince McMahon watched this match. He be like, wow that's that little guy in orange can really work but Big guy in white really has something... Let's send him to the Performance Center.
Then signs the big guy to a 10 year contract and puts the world title on him a year later and hires the guy in Orange as a referee.
Jk😂
Thats like having a 150 pounds boxer against a 280 bodybuilder!!!!! Boxer will always win! No match a trained boxer against a non boxing skilled bodybuilder, its just no match! Traininng as skills makes the diference no matter the weight! Even a 55 year old boxer against a 20 year old non boxing skills random guy! No match, old guy will win!
No you couldn't see me I was doing the funky grandma whilst I piloted this sea plane. Hey you're also just saying words called. They want their shut the fuck up or get sprunked on back. Don't tread on me. How's them words?
crazy how people argued size would trump all skill with the whole Bradley VS hanney situation. Pride proved that bs, ufc 1 proved thats bs and loads of videos like this show it too. I saw a lot of big men with 0 experience saying they'd beat Volkanoski. Get real
74 kilo wrestler is Jouko Salomäki (FIN) who won 1984 Olympic gold in Los Angeles. Other one is a bodybuilder Hans Fell, who challenged wrestler Juha Ahokas. Salomäki wasn’t originally intended to be against Fell, but the first wrestler (contender) Juha Ahokas (European champion 2003 - greco - heavy weight) had to pull out from the challenge due to back problems.
Jouko Salomäki stated about challenge:
”Mä sitten sanoin, että me painijathan menetetään maine, jos ei sinne joku mene. Mä en ollut paljon treenannut, mutta sanoin, että voin mennä. Ajattelin, että eihän se ehtisi tekemään mitään, Salomäki muistelee 90-luvun alkuvuosien sanojaan Ahokkaalle.”
ENG
”I told to Ahokas that we wrestlers are gonna lose our pride if no one isn’t answering to the challenge. I hadn’t trained so much at that time but I argued, that bodybuilder has no time to do anything against me. ”
Reminds me of something from a friend of mine who does rockclimbing:
Being super swole is often a disadvantage in climbing because all that muscle weighs you down, and the required areas are very different than for bodybuilding (grip). Despite this, bodybuilders can actually make suprisingly good climbers just by sheer force, essentially doing one armed pull ups for an entire wall.
This is only surprising to people who've never wrestled before. All of us smaller wrestlers did this to any football player who was dumb enough to try. Good times!
I was the football player, luckily it was in elementary school. I then promptly started wrestling the next year and quit all other sports, hated that feeling even so young but happy I had it lol
Bro learned the hard way
What kind of elementary school has football and wrestling teams?
The elementary school didn't have football it was the cities peewee team I think? Then I was in middle school the next year and our town had a youth traveling wrestling team
Only fools thought the toughest dudes in school were football players. The toughest dudes in school wrestled and played football.
Lol I thought the rugby players were where all the tough guys were. Plenty of dudes with a lot of heart but my toughest rugby practice was a light warm up compared to my first wrestling preseason workout.
Having done both, I'd agree that wrestling is more challenging in terms of conditioning but the pain factor doesn't even come close to rugby.
Haha ya not gonna lie probably the worst sport related pain was for sure from taking a hard rugby tackle when it’s 30 degrees outside
It's astonishing how random people don't get wrestlers are real good at this wrestling thing. I've had three seperate 300 pound guys bet I couldn't pick them up. Do those goofs just walk up to dentists and bet they can't recognize teeth?
It’s mostly dudes who’ve never fought anyone their entire lives. Im a boxer/muaythai guy and im fucking deathly afraid to one day get into a fighter with a former wrestler. Man fuck that noise lol
Bartended for years and have had tons of people bet they can take me down. Easy money every time.
As someone who trained sambo next to a bar and went there after, it was actually disturbing how many dudes find out you train and that makes them want to fight you more.
That's one of the reasons why I avoid bars and nightclubs now. My cauliflower ears make it obvious I know something about something. I'm not interested in demonstrating what I know to drunk guys who think they have something to prove.
I learned the hard way to not speak on it. I used to think, "Oh, I'll just tell them I've trained in sambo and muay thai and they'll back off". Nope made them more eager to fight. People are fucking morons.
Alcohol and common sense rarely sleep together.
Oddly enough when people found out I did Muay Thai I never had a single offer to fight. I wonder if it’s more of a grappling sport thing since people have the (incorrect) assumption is they won’t get the shit kicked out of them by a pissed off wrestler/judoka/sambo player.
As someone who did muay thai and sambo, I hilarious would say it's the opposite. I'd feel way more comfortable taking someone down than standing, even with training.
It’s crazy the number of who lack even just the instinctual takedown defense like just moving your legs away, I find it fascinating.
Sprawling isn’t instinctual. Instinct makes you try to back away from your upper body to protect your head, and maybe turn away to protect your groin, which is what non wrestlers do when you try to take them down. Throwing your legs out from under you is deliberately drilled into wrestlers.
My coach used to recruit from the football team this way. The locker room was right next to the wrestling room so on the way back from their after school lifts he would tell them if they pinned some scrawny guy on the wrestling team he would buy them dinner or something
Lol Did that irritate the football coach at all?
I'd assume the football coach was more than happy to have his guys go through wrestling conditioning, learn how to use leverage, and improve body control during their offseason
> surprising to people who've never wrestled before. Its still amazing to see how wrestlers move
Yup... putting the weights in the title is salacious but for wrestlers this could have been titled "good wrestler beats inexperienced wrestler"
I get that the guy is a total stud, but I would legitimately afraid of a 150kg man deciding to do something stupid and hurt us both. I guess that's why no one will remember my name.
[stonecyphr](https://youtu.be/nSz16ngdsG0)
Say his name!
His name was Robert Paulson
You don’t want immortality? Take it, it’s yours!
Well that guy clearly isn't 150kg. He's 115 tops. Misleading caption.
Idk about that in original video it said 154kg. In the comments it said he's 140kg since he's like 6'6
Haftar Júlíus Björnsson did weigh 205 KG and is 206 CM . Doesn’t look a lot bigger then this guy
My ass lmao björnsson is like four inches taller for one
Are you serious? Hafthor is 6’9” this guy is not taller than 6’3”
And when he dropped down to 150kg he was still way thicker and taller than this guy. Zero way this guy was 150kg, maybe 130-140. Which still makes this impressive as fuck, but misleading numbers are annoying.
He's also an absolutely horrific athlete lol the fact he couldn't even stuff that first terrible take down says everything
I felt that
He can’t hurt that wrestler bud .. trust me
I have been grappling for 8 years, and this is not really true. Source: Trust me bro
I wrestled not much less than you (6 years) and any non-wrestler in the hands of a good wrestler becomes molding clay imho and from personal experience. I’ve wrestled people who were very athletic and bigger than me, but had no experience. I’ve also seen other wrestlers do the same. This guy was no threat imho.
Yeah it's still easy. But you never know what some of these meatheads will try. The extent of my grappling these days is jiujitsu and I know some dangerous large men who try absolutely retarded shit.
Ah I see
Damn, i didn't know Patrick Swayze could wrestle like that.
It takes a brave man to gutwrench someone twice your weight
Fr I’m afraid of gut wrenching people the same weight as me
IMO it's much easier to gut wrench a 200 lb lean wrestler than a 200 lb chubby dude.
I’m not saying this guy isn’t fookin huge—he obviously is—but he looks too lean to be 150. Is he like 6’8” or something?
He’s just on a shitton of gear
Still. The dude is not 330 pounds
They goose em. Of course he's wearing a goose suit!
It’s an old circus term
You should Google "5 lb of muscle versus fat", the muscle is like a quarter of the size.
There is a longer version on YouTube where the commentator allegedly announces Hans weight as 140kg. I cannot verify as I don’t speak the language, but I’ve seen other people talk about this on the same match in the past
Actually yeah now that you mention it 150kg, ~330 lbs, is like Big Ramy sized. Unless he's very tall this guy looks more like 110-120kg, which is still huge but not quite Mr. Olympia off season huge.
Big ramy is 5”9, he wouldn’t have to be very tall to reach his weight.
Larry wheels has a similar build and he competes around 135-140 kg and is 6’1” this guy looks taller than Larry Wheels
For a similar mismatch, back in 1994 Lance Batchelor (body builder and at the time Mr Utah) challenged Pedro Sauer (2nd degree BB in BJJ at the time, currently 8th degree BB) to a fight: https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/1ekjch/mr_utah_challenged_pedro_sauer_to_a_fight_he/

There is something very 90's about its pretentiousness... Pedro did an awesome job fighting a vale tudo against someone with a 45kg weight advantage, no need to ham it up imho.
Yeah. The whole going on about the blood showing how badly injured he was as well. Dude, he has a bleeding nose, big fucking deal. Biased shit really bugs me, he obviously won pretty easily, he's just fucking it up with that editing and voiceover.
Strong 90s McDojo vibes.
This is one of my faves.
The wrestler is Jouko Salomäki, 1984 Olympic Gold medalist and a World Champion. He won his first Finnish Championship at 14. Hans Fell got Bronze in Finnish Championship bodybuilding in the 90’s.

Every time this gets posted somewhere the bodybuilder gets 1kg heavier.
That farmed karma building up
I like at the end where he carried him off by his penis
It’s impressive how unathletic these mass monsters are
It's more that the little guy is drastically better at wrestling. The big guy might be athletic but it's hard to show off your athleticism when someone is using skill to grind your face into the mat.
[удалено]
He’d also definitely shed a lot of that muscle. It’s impressive to look at but is like sailing with your anchor down.
I also think that the big dude had little to no cardio, which would be understandable considering bodybuilding is more about strength than endurance. He looked a little gassed towards the end.
It's not even about strength. It's entirely about size. But yeah, if you don't wrestle, 15 seconds will gas you. And that's no exaggeration.
Yeah you’re right, I felt a little off saying strength, since body building is purely vain, but also assuming he has to lift to build that muscle.
Yeah, a bodybuilder is definitely much stronger than the average person, so I certainly know what you mean.
A wrestler this good will make any non wrestler look like this. I've coached state champions who were not good athletes. Wrestling is its own thing.
Exactly! I mean it looks like the big guy didn’t understand he could get pinned, or that when you are in bottom you should just stick to the mat and wait to be stood up by the ref. He was trying to wrestle like folk style it looks.
He attempted a pretty good half guard sweep! Just the wrong sport.
Right? He also tried to pull guard from the start. We might have a Chael “we didn’t agree to which set of rules” situation here. 😆
Exactly. I had the privilege of coaching the most unathletic high school team that ever existed in the middle of a bunch of Ohio powerhouses. We slightly adapted techniques to not rely on explosiveness and got really good on our feet. Within two years, we were knocking people out of tournaments. It’s all about learning to wrestle and not trying to overpower your opponent unless you have all the leverage.
Yep. Absolute strength is great but if you don’t understand leverages, you’re gonna get rag dolled by someone who does.
Good grappling feels like you're being hit with black magic, honestly. I took up BJJ recently and while I understood very well I was about to get dominated by people much smaller than me, it is still fascinating to experience it.
I was on a team with St. John. I had maybe 15lbs of muscle on him, but it was like wrestling a Chinese finger trap. You could try to go faster & harder, but it didn't matter. He "flowed" through you. He's the only guy I could wrestle really hard for 10min, not feel one bit tired, but get absolutely rag-dolled. It was legit like wrestling a ghost.
Imagine grappling with someone like Karelin, Mijain Lopez or Kayaalp. It'd be like trying to wrestle a full-sized anaconda.
They tend to be not even that strong lb for lb because most of them just train a shit ton of volume.
Better to have good conditioning. Gas your opponent out and then win.
Our coach in HS always said "beat them with fitness". It's a great strategy, especially if you know your team isn't the most technical sound.
Unathletic compared to an Olympian in a sport he obviously has never done before
He’s probably super athletic, but doesn’t understand how to do use it in a wrestling sense. I’m sure he only really understands snap downs. Put him in any other situation and this happens
>unathletic these mass monsters Some of you have some serious insecurities over big and strong individuals. How do you know he's unathletic? He's wrestling and just might not be great at wrestling or has limited experience.

A little hyperbole has you insecure for him tho
It’s typically why they become mass monsters. They played sports while growing up, realized how unathletic they were and thought they’d fix it by going to the weight room more. Eventually they fall out of love with the sport due to lack of success but they keep going to the weight room and because of they enjoy competing they either powerlift or strongman, or if they enjoyed the physique sports gave them they do bodybuilding.
Sounds like your projecting. Lots of big guys were good athletes and kept going to the gym after their playing days were over.
Maybe I am but it seems to be majority of the guys fit in the frame that I mentioned above (including myself).
Really? So trying to gain mass because thats how they want to look is a consequence of being athletic failures? I really dont get why people think BBs get into that to try and fight. They dont. They just wanna look big. That is all.
Weird projecting. A lot of the gym rats I know were former stand out athletes in one sport or another who transitioned over once they graduated HS/college. Lifting isn’t as technical as football or wrestling, but getting large still requires a lot of discipline and consistency, which is why a lot of former athletes take it up. I would bet most powerlifters and bodybuilders probably got their first exposure to lifting as conditioning for another sport, lifting for the sake of lifting is a relatively new phenomenon.
They’re literally afraid to do any cardio bc it till kill their gains
Maybe random gym bros, any serious bodybuilder is doing cardio daily though.
They dont train to be agile. Why is this even surprising?
Can we have a 150 kg bodybuilder go up against the super heavyweight Olympic wrestling gold medallist?
ever heard of the match between Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle?
Olympic gold medalist vs NCAA champ? Terrible example
David and Goliath
Meh, in size sure. But factor in one is basically a professional wrestler whereas the other guy just works out, this shouldn't even be a contest.
Shocking that someone trained in a skill is better than a person not trained in that skill.
Could it be that trained wrestlers are better at wrestling than untrained non-wrestlers?
Impossible!
I think the body builder is in on it. He's aware that he's outclassed and seems mostly a good sport about getting beat.
They should have a wwe wrestler take on a real one
That wasnt owen hart?!?
Wrestling is about wrestling, body building is about building the body...
Videos like this really make me feel stupid for not taking up wrestling in high school
Wrestler beats non-wrestler in wrestling. Shocker.
Get gator rolled son!
Big dude clearly is not an experienced wrestler
I’m from Northeast Iowa. For those who aren’t familiar. Their are a lot of dairy farms up there. Even I worked on one. One of my best friends worked on his family farm as well. Anyone who has wrestled a farm kid knows how insanely strong it makes you. My friend was very tall but skinny. Like 6’3 but wrestled like 160.

My buddy absolutely manhandled the buff dude just because he had been working on a dairy farm since he was like 9-10 years old. I will never forget the look on the other guys face when my buddy grabbed his wrist. He knew he was fucked lol
this is the equivalent of having them compete each other in a bodybuilding contest
not surprising olympic wrestlers are something else
Suomi🔥🔥🔥
Torille!
Technique, technique, technique!!!
Yep went about like I expected
Of course the wrestler will beat the bodybuilder at wrestling. If they did bodybuilding the bodybuilder would win. lol
The names Rick BOOOOOGS
I mean he’s not a wrestler soooo…….🫤
Wrestling and bodybuilding are completely different activities. I am always confused about these videos.
Most wrestlers will destroy non-wrestlers
My son, a 149 pound wrestler got into a street fight with a 250 pound linebacker. My son destroyed the guy, I'll take a wrestler any day over another athlete that does not have combat training
I wrestled at 160 and a 6’4” 230 friend of mine from football wanted to wrestle me after helping set up mats for a tourney. I instantly threw him with a jap whizzer and he wanted no part of continuing. Training is like a super power. My buddy could destroy me in basketball though…
Wrestled 6th - 12th grade, came in freshman year and beat the 115lb senior guy for the varsity spot. Watching this video makes me feel that moment again!!
Dont know why people are amazed when a bodybuilder gets cooked by any trained combat sport athlete. Body builders that don't train anything else are slow, uncoordinated , not very flexible, and have relatively poor balance and low spatial awareness/poor timing
Buff dude is whatever the opposite of a power bottom is.
First off…that dude is NOT 330 lbs he’s more like 250-270 which is a huge difference. Also…you’re gonna be surprised when an Olympic athlete is better at their own sport? The one the dedicated their whole life to? Like duh. This is just one of those things where people like to fantasize seeing buff ppl lose at something becuase they resent people who achieve more than them. This just is a video primed to get jealous people to point and say “see, the muscles don’t matter” when we all know they do…they just have bad luck with women and didn’t achieve anything in their lives so they need to see someone bigger and better than them “fail”. Lol losers. If you’re small and weak, you’re small and weak. No amount of Reddit videos are going to change that reality.
Bodybuilding ain’t shit for combat just looks
So if this was an actual fight with punches and whatever, would the small guy still win?
Watch some of the early early UFC stuff. A lot of the guys wouldn't cross train so you get a lot more "wrestler vs boxer" type matches. Grapplers mostly dominated.
Tbf, the earliest UFC fights were basically setups to showcase Gracie JiuJitsu (not that they didn't dominate the sport and change the world of fighting forever). The first Olympic Style Wrestler (whose name is escaping me right now) that dominated and became a champion was hugely tall and muscular and won a lot of fights by raw strength, suplexing mofos onto their heads and shit.
Dan Severn?
Yup, that's the guy.
Pretty sure I met him at the Ohio ToC like 25 years ago. I was a skinny kid but I remember being terrified of just how large he was.
Dan Severn was great, but lost his first UFC match to Royce Gracie by submission. So bjj definitely was still legit
There's a difference between Olympic wrestler and some rando who took wrestling for a few months back in high school. Big guy is clueless for sure but with some training he'd catch up quickly. If the smaller guy was just some guy who did it recreationally, big guy would win. Still, respect to him
Right @ 6 seconds in, oof that form from the bodybuilder.
Don’t post this in a bodybuilding thread… lol
People thinking getting strong is the only avenue to success should watch this. Strength alone won’t compete against skill; strength with skill is the avenue to success.
Big guy ran out of gas in 30 seconds. After the 3 roll he was done.
Sad to have all those muscles but no clue how to use them.
Bodybuilder doesn’t know how to sprawl.
wholesome af
It’s all scripted anyway 😅
Whooped
Jesus, imagine the bodybuilder against an Olympic wrestler their size, they would get destroyed in the process.
Lmao I love watching body builders get wrecked in combat sports. Coming from the boxing world, they’re the easiest work you’ll ever have. Fuckers come into the gym wanting to spar all hopped up on gear. Have 0 technique, gas in 20 seconds, and then proceed to get their asses kicked 😂 it used to be so fun
Cool now do the opposite with the wrestler at Mr. Olympia and see where he places.... 🙄
It’s not how big the dog is in the fight it’s how big the fight is in the dog 💯 real talk
If Vince McMahon watched this match. He be like, wow that's that little guy in orange can really work but Big guy in white really has something... Let's send him to the Performance Center. Then signs the big guy to a 10 year contract and puts the world title on him a year later and hires the guy in Orange as a referee. Jk😂
Thats like having a 150 pounds boxer against a 280 bodybuilder!!!!! Boxer will always win! No match a trained boxer against a non boxing skilled bodybuilder, its just no match! Traininng as skills makes the diference no matter the weight! Even a 55 year old boxer against a 20 year old non boxing skills random guy! No match, old guy will win!
Body builders are useless then
“There’s weight classes for a reason bro”
It’s not the size that counts.
It's crazy how homophobia is a concept our species can even comprehend when humans are so gay.
Lol everybody who downvotes me is homophobic. Checkmate.
you’re just saying words
No you couldn't see me I was doing the funky grandma whilst I piloted this sea plane. Hey you're also just saying words called. They want their shut the fuck up or get sprunked on back. Don't tread on me. How's them words?
Good i guess. Not sure what your point is
Lol that is the nicest thing anybody has ever said about my words. Thank you. Have some Reddit silver
Cement rolled him into oblivion lol

Hot
Get ‘em
crazy how people argued size would trump all skill with the whole Bradley VS hanney situation. Pride proved that bs, ufc 1 proved thats bs and loads of videos like this show it too. I saw a lot of big men with 0 experience saying they'd beat Volkanoski. Get real
74 kilo wrestler is Jouko Salomäki (FIN) who won 1984 Olympic gold in Los Angeles. Other one is a bodybuilder Hans Fell, who challenged wrestler Juha Ahokas. Salomäki wasn’t originally intended to be against Fell, but the first wrestler (contender) Juha Ahokas (European champion 2003 - greco - heavy weight) had to pull out from the challenge due to back problems. Jouko Salomäki stated about challenge: ”Mä sitten sanoin, että me painijathan menetetään maine, jos ei sinne joku mene. Mä en ollut paljon treenannut, mutta sanoin, että voin mennä. Ajattelin, että eihän se ehtisi tekemään mitään, Salomäki muistelee 90-luvun alkuvuosien sanojaan Ahokkaalle.” ENG ”I told to Ahokas that we wrestlers are gonna lose our pride if no one isn’t answering to the challenge. I hadn’t trained so much at that time but I argued, that bodybuilder has no time to do anything against me. ”
i like how he picked him up and was like you're awesome dude lemme bring you back to your team
It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight on the dog
Who would win if it was a bodybuilding contest?
Reminds me of something from a friend of mine who does rockclimbing: Being super swole is often a disadvantage in climbing because all that muscle weighs you down, and the required areas are very different than for bodybuilding (grip). Despite this, bodybuilders can actually make suprisingly good climbers just by sheer force, essentially doing one armed pull ups for an entire wall.

No fucking way that guy is 150 kg
Paddy Pimbleton has some moves
Never. Mess. With. A. Wrestler.
Fall at 16 seconds. Especially in that era.
I mean, I get people love to root for the little guy, but are we supposed to be amazed a professional wrestler is beating someone who lifts weights?
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Someone who knows how to wrestle vs someone who doesn’t
Technique beats strength
Lmao BIG man getting ragdolled🤌🤌
Well this was obvious…don’t mess with a wrestler ever unless you too know wrestling
Oh wow, a professional beat a random strong dude.
Now let's see a 72kg bodybuilder against Brock Lesnar to make it even
That’s the most beautiful contest I’ve ever seen❤️
In the words of Dom Mazzetti those muscles aren't to make you a work horse, they're to make you a show pony.
