While the nature of the ability would indeed be redundant in a context of a fighting pit, it's entirely possible--as well as likely--that Baylord was furnished with the ability / tool only after he proved himself in the pit and was "released" into the Inner Tower.

Moreover, I think it may not be the worst idea for a Regular that boasts ability to grow more powerful based on the power of the enemy. We know that Hell in a Cell cannot handle Thorn imbued (partially Revolved) Baam when he gets into it, but (1) we know that even a weaker version of Baam could injure Urek, and (2) the Thorn is often used to basically alter the properties of Shinsoo (and related things) in its vicinity, so it may have simply altered the properties (e.g., upper threshold of what they can take) of those chains. As for easily overwhelming Baylord himself, that version of Baam was already enough to put up a decent fight against 4/5 Hoaqin, so it's not really fair comparison. For all we know, Baylord's growing ability may be enough to accommodate even an average Princess, but it's not surprising that it cannot accommodate an Irregular; they are basically walking "rule-breaker" with or without the Thorn.

Also, and I say this only for the sake of completeness, I suspect that Baylord was dispatched so swiftly at the time--as opposed to actually putting up some fight--, because Baam basically sucker-punched him. xD
