Awesome Katie Lee - Blue belt BJJ
On the subject of Katie Lee doing BJJ, I actually have a question I want to bring into debate:
It’s pretty obvious that she is on PEDs. No issue with that at all when it comes to bodybuilding or strength sports, but I have watched some of her BJJ competitions, and she is just massive compared to her opponents, even if they compete in a similar weight division. Do you think it’s fair for someone who is cycling to be involved in combat sports?
I box casually and have been involved with other combat sports for a bit, and while yeah, strength won’t triumph over someone with better technique, when you’re competing in a relatively low level, a stronger opponent can generally get away with our muscling their opponent.
What are your thoughts?

I'd like to point out that when it comes to sports like BJJ where you have a lot of contact, strength is really important. So it is essential to also strength train and build up some muscle when going up to compete. Technique alone is of no use if your opponent is just plain buffed up and strong.
There's a sweet spot you get after trading off between agility, muscle and flexibility which is ideal for competition. If each competitor trains to find their own such sweet spot, then matches could be 'fair' and decided by technique rather than anything else.
Brazilian Shiela Vieira always comes to mind. Competes in bodybuilding and MMA/BJJ
Hmmm maybe I got it wrong, but there are plenty of female mma pro-fighters (no matter if UFC or ONE) who are very well defined and in great physical shape...
Holly Holm comes into my mind
As well as Angela Lee
Itsuki Hirata <3 :D
... ah and so many more who really can kick ass AND look gorgeous and powerful!
There are many threads alike

But my two cents here
Yamila Toledo, black belt in karate among other talents
And of course, Sheena Wrestler, judo
Has any one had any experience with/have pictures of women who know martial arts and are also fairly muscular ?
