for example: If Fedor got a good powerlifting routine and started using it, would he be a better fighter because of it? Would it be possible for him to be a worse fighter?
I remember reading somewhere that Fedor actually did heavy compound lifts for judo before he started MMA. I also remember an interview where he says that it's better to fight heavy people to gain stength than lifting heavy weights... this might be true with judo, where you actually *lift* and throw peoples, but with other martial arts maybe this would not make do. I know *my* judo increased a lot with lifting, that's for sure ^^
