Now that's what I'm talking about Andy, thank you Sir.
Here's what I see when I look at a champion strongman: neurological strength, cardiovascular/respiratory strength, muscular strength, and to top it all off and bring all the elements together; I’d say strength, discipline, and the true control of one's mind.

As much as it is technical, some submissions require incredible amount of strength even though gracie made them look easy. Try submitting a dude who's 120-130kg when you're only 75-80kg. Or even keeping him on his back. Ah, I miss the early UFC days. Now we have this thing called weight classes.
Strong is putting in 110% effort into each and every training session, with the determination to become better than you are...those who can conjure up this mental strength will usually be awsome lifters, and generally good at every thing they aply themselves to.
Or epic power to weight ratio, watching daniel anderson form total strength bench more then me at half my weight in a single ply shirt, that takes skill and strength.
If there was a Wilk's type calculator for the PLs + o/h press + max chin weight that'd be how I would do it.
There's different types of strength as well. I'll use an AFL example (though the non-Vics might not get it) - Brent Staker can bench press than Jon Brown yet on field Brown makes Staker look like . . . well . . . a stake
Could do.
Don't think it'd be 100% accurate though . . .
I can remember people somewhere bitching about Wilk's being used for Bench press comps cos it favours heavier guys or some crap like that
