how the hell does he have so much mass as a powerlifter/strongman?
if he dieted down, he would look pretty incredible.

lmao you cant be serious .
if you read any in this forum at all you have heard time and time again that lifting heavy is what adds mass . look at how ronnie trains he trains heavy and even uses powerlifting gear at times to lift as heavy as possible , ive been told he goes over 800 in the deadlift and has a serious squat as well . you need to ignore 99% of the shit in the muscle mags , its written to sell magazines not add mass lol .

There is functional and non-functional hypertrophy. Not all big guys are strong, and not all strong guys are big. Obviously he has both.

Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (common in bodybuilding) involves the growth of the sarcoplasm (fluid like substance) and non contractile proteins that do not directly contribute to muscular force production. Filament area density decreases while cross-sectional area increases, without a significant increase in strength.

Myofibrillar hypertrophy occurs due to an increase in myosin-actin filaments. Contractile proteins are synthesized and filament density increases (Zatsiorsky 1995). This type of hypertrophy leads to increased strength production. Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy Muscle fibers adapt to high volume training by increasing the number of mitochondria (organelles in the cell that are involved in ATP production) in the cell. This type of training also leads to the elevation of enzymes that are involved in glycolytic and oxidative pathways. The volume of sarcoplasmic fluid inside the cell and between the cells are increased with high volume training.
