Lifting helps fighting but won’t help you against a kick boxer/wrestler. You don’t work out your jaw, balls, knees, pain receptors, your face, your liver, your ability to take a hit etc.
But lifting will always be > martial arts. Why? Because it’s better to look the part and be respected for it rather than boasting to everyone you are the part and not being taken seriously. You don’t tell every stranger you meet you’re a black belt in whatever but they can see your physique.
