I beleive it certainly helps.. if for instances two people are equally skilled in fighting and one of the does lift weights for strength i say the guy who pump weights wins..
it depends what you mean by bodybuilding.. because its the way u train are you trainning for size? are you training for strength and muscle endurance? trainning strength and muscle endurance certainly helps

You all got to understand that if you are that big by the way of bodybuilding you are also insanely strong. So, while you are no pro fighter, you got enough strength and explosiveness to choke any street tough.
A lot of people are naive to think that meatheads are slow, the whole nature of bodybuilding involves huge amounts of explosive movements, so while these guys may not be the swiftest 5 mile runners, you dont wanna mess with them in close distances.
And like I said, yeah they aren't as likely to get picked, but if someone who is actually tough has an issue with someone, size isn't going to dissuade them.

Floyd mayweather, Shane mosley and many more does weights.. and they are one of the fastest in their division
if your naturally fast then that's a bless but weights don't slow you down if you training it right, hence it can help you many ways
