Something about using a size disadvantage as an excuse seems kind of weird to me when Cain Velasquez weighs in at 241 and absolutely demolishes guys like Bigfoot, who used to fight at super heavyweight and almost certainly shows up on fight night well over 265 and Brock, who walks around at 286.
Size definitely plays a factor, but it isn't everything.
Tito looked absolutely dreadful last night, he was just standing there letting Schlemenko hit him and those shots looked completely ineffective. Then he hits that pretty weak td into back-side control, telegraphs that he is trying to roll Storm for a arm triangle, and then Storm basically rolls himself. Fuck, the guy made absolutely no effort to defend the submission until it was fully locked in and too late.
Size means a lot, but I'd honestly take at least the top 7 MWs in the UFC (according to sherdog) over Tito currently.
