The guys who mastered martial arts are muscular but not with a big size muscles. On the other hand, some wrestlers are very big in size. yes, i know wrestling has its rules. If a real fight occurs between these guys who will win the battle? Does bigger muscle help in fighting in real life?

I know it helps because hard muscle could hurt someone when they bump on it and if someone is trying to hurt you, they can hit you in your muscle but they are the ones that get hurts when it is hard.

To an extent muscle does help during fighting. The guy with muscles whenever he's hit by somebody, he feels less of the pain. Unlike the guy without muscle any hit would have great impact on him. In the same vein, if a muscular person punches you, you are expected to go flying especially if you are not with built muscle.

I don't think that it can help for people that are not skilled in fighting. I think that there are weak points in the body which when someone that you are engaged can attack you and weaken you on.

Muscles can certainly help in a fight, as they increase strength and power. However, the size and strength of a person's muscles is not the only factor that determines a victorious outcome. A fighter's speed, agility, technique, and strategy are also important factors in determining who will win. Ultimately, the fighter who is best prepared and has the most comprehensive skill set is most likely to win.

Muscles do help in a fight but not muscles alone. A guy mastered in martial arts may have fighting techniques or speedy movements which may help much in a fight. But strength is also a need in fighting. Wrestling as a sport means it has its own rules and regulations. But in a real life fight, the things may not be the same.
 When fighting in real life situations the most needed quality must be higher endurance than the ability to lift a weight. For example, boxers are more concentrating in the core strength and they are having an endurance training. Of course, they do have muscles but not that much of a body builder. Let's have look onto karate champions or kung-fu masters. Do they have big massive muscles? No. What about Bruce Lee then? A 50kg man Bruce Lee could kick and throw a sandbag of 180 kg to a two floor above height. So the size of the muscles can't be a winner every time.

Well as you said technique and strength play major role in fight but which one be more effective

Muscles do help in a fight bit other things are also important at the same time. The other things include the technique, quickness, flexibility and power. In martial arts, the more emphasis is given on the techniques during self defence. Therefore muscles are not the only thing which helps during a fight.

Yes, muscles do help, but they can't fight alone. Physical strength and good power also help. Body control and timing are other things that also helps. Working out and even weight lifting (if the body is physically it for this) are very important when it comes to strength or even fighting (such a wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, shadowboxing, etc.).

Yes, muscle is just one of the things needed to win a fight but not necessarily the only factor that can help but it does help. Other things like strength and power are also needed to give one the self confidence to withstand the rigor of fighting.

As the great boxing trainer Freddie Roach once said: " Muscles are pleasing in the eyes and can be imposing but it won't help you much in a boxing match".  Personally, however, I believe that having a well-defined physique equates to being fit and in a fight, being fit and in shape helps a lot if you, especially if you're opponent is not in good shape. You will be faster, and will have a better stamina. You will have better flexibility which you can use to avoid punches and your punch will have more power in them.

The increase in muscle bulk is consistent with providing strength. That's the reason why some people whom you mentioned have the will to fight in the four corners of the stage. It cannot be denied that we need to consume food rich in proteins because it can help increase the skeletal muscles of the body.

It is not really an advantage to be muscular in a fight. However having a fit body will give you physical and mental advantages. Having strong shoulder, leg and core muscles will help you the most in the fight when compared to other muscles in the body. But when i say “strong”, i do not mean big. Having a bodybuilder body like this(below) will not help you in a fight.

Yes of course a strong muscle will never be fatigue or bruised 

Boxers for example use the serratus anterior muscle it help them with giving punches

It will help because muscles can give you strength and makes your moves stronger. But having too much muscle can make you slow and lets you be bruised because of being slow. Sometimes a muscle can also make you endure more hits like punches but not for long. As a person you may still get hurt even though you think you're immune.

Muscle size and strength can be helpful in a fight, as they can enable a person to deliver more powerful punches and generate force. However, muscle size and strength are not the only factors that determine a person's effectiveness in a fight. Other important factors include technique, speed, agility, and strategy.

Muscles help alot when you are fighting, because they store alot of energy that can help you in fighting, and they are very helpful also in absorbing pain.

Yes, muscles can be beneficial in a physical fight. Strong muscles can help a person exert more force, which can be useful for things like punching, kicking, and grappling. However, it's important to note that having strong muscles is not the only factor that determines how well someone will do in a fight. Factors such as technique, strategy, and endurance are also important. In addition, the size and strength of an opponent also play a role in the outcome of a fight.

Biologically brother, it is one of the main reasons why we can actually punch. The level and degree of effective actually lies on the angle, the speed, the weight, the purpose and the environmental factors of the scenario leading into the punch. BUT MOST OF THE TIME  BIG MUSCLES HEAVIER PUNCHES.

In a real life fight, muscles can definitely help. Muscles can provide an advantage in terms of strength, power, and endurance. Larger muscles can help with things like landing and delivering more powerful punches, as well as providing more stability when grappling. However, even if one has bigger muscles, the outcome of the fight will depend on various other factors such as technique, skill, speed and experience. Therefore, having large muscles does not guarantee victory in a fight.

In a real-life fight, there are many factors that can determine the outcome of a fight, and size and muscle mass are just a few of them. While bigger muscles can certainly provide some advantages in a fight, such as increased strength and power, they are not the only factors that matter.

Martial arts practitioners often focus on developing functional strength, speed, agility, and flexibility rather than just bulking up. They may not have the same size of muscles as wrestlers, but they have trained their bodies to be strong and fast, with the ability to execute techniques and moves with precision and effectiveness.

Wrestlers, on the other hand, may rely more on their size and brute strength to overpower their opponents, especially in competitions where size and weight classes are a factor. However, in a real-life fight, a wrestler's size may not necessarily give them an advantage, especially if their opponent is skilled in martial arts and knowsponent's size and strength.

In a real-life fight, there are many other factors that can come into play, such as the environment, the element of surprise, and the use of weapons. It's also important to consider factors such as training, experience, and mindset.

Someone who has trained in martial arts for many years and has experience in real-life fights may have a significant advantage over someone who is simply bigger and stronger but lacks the same level of skill and experience. Additionally, mindset and the ability to remain calm and focused under pressure can also play a significant role in a fight.

Ultimately, it's impossible to predict the outcome of a fight based solely on the size and muscle mass of the combatants. Many other factors come into play, and the outcome of a fight can be influenced by a wide range of variables. It's important to focus on developing a well-rounded skill set, including strength, agility, speed, and technique, and to maintain a calm and focused mindset in the event of a real-life fight

Having well-developed muscles can help in a fight by providing greater strength, power, and endurance. However, fighting also requires technique and strategy.

As the size of a person’s muscles can vary from one’s home country to another. In general, however, it is thought that the size of a person’s muscles will help in a fight against an opponent with smaller muscle mass. This is because, at the very least, an opponent with smaller muscle mass may be able to make use of less powerful muscles in your body.
