We all love a good challenge between sheer strength and skill…
Since the early days of the UFC, the battle between size and skill has been a popular one. Especially in Japan, ‘freak show’ fights are the highest selling in the countries history. Holding the record for biggest selling fight in Japan was Bob Sapp vs. Akebono.
In the UFC it was Royce Gracie who often played the role of smaller man. Facing giants in the days before weight classes, the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu legend won multiple UFC tournaments. Things are a little different now.
Size vs. Skill
Although modern MMA has proved that skill and training is often far more useful than size or strength, people are still wanting to test the theory. Like a dog that keeps taunting a porcupine, the big dudes rarely learn their lesson.
Case in point: today’s video, featuring a Jiu Jistu brown belt (female), a Jiu Jitsu black belt (male) and a large bodybuilder (male). The video illustrates our point perfectly.
