Media Brain Shaw says he’d beat Dustin in a real fight

Give Dustin the same amount of steroids and a potential fight between the 2 ends in 20 seconds.
 
Pretty much what others are saying, if Brian Shaw is on top of Dustin then he’s cooked. Don’t fall for the BJJ ‘Le size doesn’t matter meme’
Stays on the feet then yeah Brian Shaw will gas and poirier spin that big ass chin.

Brian was literally the strongest man in the world and has trained with Dustin. He could easily kill Dustin since he's 6' 6" 430 lbs.

He starts in a dominant position and simply clings to him. He'd have to create enough distance to do some damage in a real fight and that's when Dustin would pop up.
 
I don't think Shaw will have an easy time getting Dustin to the ground. He is slow as shit and he really isn't athletic. That video of him owning Porier on the ground is with Dustin giving up the top position and Shaw just pancaking him.

I think most 185er will have an easier time with Shaw. They hit hard enough to stun him. Shaw doesn't understand frames on the ground. There are some videos of him grappling guys that are around 220lbs. He gets really tired because he would try to out muscle a frame by trying to compress against it.

Is he really 430lbs? I mean, Brock Lesnar, Ngannou who are huge HW's were able to make 265lbs, is he that much bigger than them?

That is twice the size of most MW's, Poirier wouldnt have much of a chance with such disparity, but who knows if he would be able to kick and move for long enough in a real fight.

He's much, much bigger and much, much stronger than Lesnar or Ngannou. Shaw is consensus accepted as tied with big Z for the strongest man of all time, and even by strongman standards he's huge.
The picture is him dwarfing Mr universe winners.

these big guys always say shit like this until they start to get hit. then you realize being small doesn't really matter as much in striking. and in many ways is advantageous in striking. and they also don't hit as soft as they'd think. just look at little Cain beat the fuck out of giant Brock Lesnar. or WW Melvin Mahoef sleep 300lb Mark Hunt with 1 punch. little guys don't really hit comparatively to the size gap, a lot of little guys can hit hard as fuck even to enormous guys. and the opposite can be true too where the large guy's strikes are comparatively much weaker than the smaller guy's strikes. like practically every guy Igor Vovchanchyn knocked out. or how light Deontay Wilder is compared to every other HW boxer but his punches are like bombs compared to a lot of the guys who are like 40lbs heavier.

tl/dr: just because you're big doesn't guarantee that you're the hammer in the fight. little guys might surprise you with how powerful they are. - Short King

That is Clarida. He is about 5'2. That particular division in bodybuilding has a 5'5 and 212 lb limit.
Most bodybuilders are short but these guys are really short.

6'6" 430 and one of the worlds strongest men, but I need to see him take a few hard calf kicks and a few hard cracks to the jaw before I make a decision.

I've seen very large guys crumple from a single punch.

Bro, his calf is as big as Dustin’s body lol. He will barely feel the kick. This is not some big Joe on the street…

I thought this was Brian Shaw that played for the Lakers.

In my many years of working in correctional institutions, I've seen a few small guys that would beat huge guys in fights, I am talking a similar size difference that you have here. The way they did it was to quickly crack the big guys on the jaw and knock them out; these little guys could do this because they hit extraordinarily hard for their size- this is not something just anyone could do. I've never seen anyone do it with grappling and have my doubts that grappling would be a good way to achieve this. Trying to get a submission would be really hard with someone that could easily pick you up and slam you.

Yeah I think that's why they say weight matters more in grappling than in boxing

On top of that, he’s been training for a while. Unless you have a superb fighting session, weighing less than 200lbs and beating that guy is going to be difficult even for peak fighters

What beats these big men is cardio and footwork. Dance around, smack 'em a few times and as soon as they get tired (30 seconds or so in) just fucking crack them with some power and they wilt.

Probably only 3 something these days. He dropped a ton of weight. Pretty sure it was to help him with armwrestling.
