Take gymnasts for example, a gymnast that does still rings is bloody strong, but you never see him lifting HUGE weights... Plus, for a fighter, being huge is always a disadvantage, no mattar how strong you are... as they say, water might seem weak and tiny in comparison to steel, but water can break through anything in time.

Lol I didn't pick up what he said there about not being stronger.. but yea of course you will get stronger. It just won't build muscle mass.
There are people with half the muscle mass of others who can lift twice as much, mostly cos when you start doing more reps it turns into strength training.
