Exactly, and vice versa. If you're hitting the gym hard for muscle gain you wouldn't have the time to train your fighting skills that intensively.

If the fight turns into a wrestling match (which most fights do) the bodybuilder would have a big strength advantage. I'm not talking about people that have had fight training.

Only if you try to wrestle with him, or he gets a good jump on you and grabs you before you can do anything.

Also, some unsuspecting guys might be intimidated by someone who's overly muscular. So there could be a psychological advantage in some cases.

It helps... I mean two equally unskilled fighters (lets say same temperament and heart)...my money is on the one who takes care of his body and has the strength advantage.

If you can somehow maneuver the bodybuilder near a reflective window of some kind he will be unable to resist checking himself out.....and then you can clock him. Advantage = you.

Bodybuilders tend to gas out easily. Too much muscle mass that they have to get blood and oxygen to.

If you can outlast them they will start coughing up a lung eventually.

Remember when Mariusz Pudzianowski was turning purple in one of his MMA matches?

Hell no I used to bartend on Water Street in Milwaukee and I would see manlet meatheads get wrecked over and over by anyone who can throw a punch. Most of the manlet meatheads were wrestlers and instantly go for takedowns and end up getting their faces destroyed by uppercuts.
