A Russian bodybuilder known as “Popeye” was destroyed in an MMA fight in three minutes by an opponent 20 years his senior.

Kirill Tereshin, 23, injected his muscles with highly dangerous synthol and developed huge, Popeye-like arms. But his ridiculous 24-inch biceps could not help him defeat blogger and actor Oleg Mongol at a gym in Abakan in Russia.

Did you see the foto? Egads, I almost feel sorry for the guy. The MMA people obviously offered him more rubles than the average Russian makes in twenty or thirty years (not counting the “oligarchs”) to participate in their freakshow. He never had a chance.

I don’t think that the biceps are the main punching muscles... unless you are punching yourself.

If bigger meant stronger, guns would shoot balloons.
