>But Karelin's power is so great it does not matter.
Lol wut? You know Jon Jones also powerlifts, right? He squatted 500 and benched 350 on camera. And what was before he bulked up to 240+ for heavyweight.
I think Jon would beat Karelin due to his superior striking, but you underestimate Karelin's moron strength. I don't know if that OHP number is accurate, but a number that I do know is his feat of doing 200kg zercher squats (440 lbs) for sets of 10. If you've done zerchers before you know how moronic that is. To be honest Karelin is so strong that I wouldn't be surprised if he actually press that amount.

Look, strength is great and all, but it's irrelevant here. We have one guy who can't strike at all vs another guy who's really good at it. It's like saying Klokov would beat Muhammed Ali.
Yeah, not like Jones has ever wrestled Olympians before or anything! But seriously, I agree that Jon loses a wrestling match. This isn't a wrestling match. This is an MMA match between a good wrestler and striker vs a great wrestler with zero striking experience, and webm related is what will happen here.
I'm not talking about fighting. I'm talking about the strength difference. Even if Jones would juice up like a moron and train only for strength, he wouldn't be able to replicate Karelin's feats.
To put it into perspective - Karelin was the only super heavyweight during his career that tossed around other super heavyweights. Shit's moronic.

The OP asked about a fight, not a lifting competition.
If you just took him with no MMA experience and put him in a cage Jon would kill him. If he also grew up in the same time and trained specifically MMA I wouldn't bet against him
maybe if he had a full head of hair
No, becausr Jon is a great wrestler too, and Karelin can't strike.
But Karelin's power is so great it does not matter. He would close the distance and then it would be over for jones

That is nothing. That is fricking warm up for karelin. He could OHP 350
I doubt it, but it's irrelevant either. Jones knocks him in Round 1. Karelin wins a pure wrestling match, but he gets raped in MMA.

Jones would crumble like a fricking crouton if he tried to manhandle a super heavyweight like Karelin.
Karelin had insane strength.

Kek what the frick is that webm, they both look like they're drunk in a pub
Jon jones is a fricking beast of a specimen. His brothers are pro football players right. Family of animals
Karelin would eat them all for breakfast
He couldn't handle gardner.
Yes, Karelin was known for his insane strength. He can easily overpower and choke him.
Absolute fricking monster of a man. Just look at that face. If he was born in older times he'd have raped and pillaged his way across Europe.
He would have been a malnourished lanklet with no food or roids and gotten stabbed to death by 5'6 manlets
If he trained MMA from the start I think he would win.
How the frick was he not on roids?
He was probably natural until age 10. Standard Soviet style
>I can totally beat this champion MMA fighter because I can lift more!
>kill some random powertroony
>get a life sentence
manlet moment
Absolutely not, he would lose even against Fedor
If you just took him with no MMA experience and put him in a cage Jon would kill him. If he also grew up in the same time and trained specifically MMA I wouldn't bet against him

Karelin would never participate in a Black person sport like MMA
Like when that Black person Brock Lesnar was champion. Disgraceful.
