Steve you're correct on the first part about proper technique allowing a smaller guy feeling much heavier. I've rolled with 45'ers who ragdolled by big ass.

You're incorrect on the second part. When technique and skill are equal, weight/strength is everything. Case in point would be if say Jeff Glover rolled with Roberto Abreu. Cyborg would take the match 10 out of 10 times. Weight/strength matter less when it's say a 300 pound blue belt vs. a 150 pound brown or black.

We're on the same page, just going about it different ways I think.

As for Glover, I would NEVER count him out against anyone. That dude is insane. You see what he did at the last Metamoris? LMAO, he's awesome! So creative and certainly crazy. Love it!

lmao, Steve laughed at me for days after my first BJJ class. I got tapped by a triangle 5 times by a guy that I was 80lbs heavier than and almost twice as strong. I couldn't do a damn thing about it, he was doing what ever he wanted to me. Very humbling experience, it make me work twice as hard to because I don't like to be run over. I don't get to train anymore because of injuries but I would love to do some rolling again one day.
