outmuscles
Wins by strength
Outmuscles means to overpower through superior physical strength or force.
A wrestler outmuscles an opponent by using brute power rather than technique.
The word extends to competitive contexts where dominance comes through sheer might: The bigger company outmuscled its rivals for the contract.
To outmuscle is to win by force rather than finesse.
