Crazy reasoning. How many heavyweights have the skillsets of Dodson, Horiguchi or Benavidez? Is somebody like Derrick Lewis "elite" because he's massive?

It is a simple numbers game. The percentage of men that are that short is very low. The percentage of men that go into the sport are mostly normal sized individuals. You have incredibly skilled individuals in the sport that are 6 feet tall and fighting at lightweight for gods sakes. Tall guys trying to cut a lot of weight is common, very short guys like DJ is very uncommon. I am happy for him that he found a class that suits him. But let's not forget he lost his one opportunity to become a champion in a higher weight class. And he would not beat the top guys in that weight class right now.

Anik told Florian if Reis beats Mighty Mouse, he'll grow a pencil thin Reis-stache for life, to go with his 209 tattoo. You heard it here first!

Actually, I made it up here first.

Anyone else think he has the head of a lhw?

Why is it easier for a 200 pounder to hurt a 400 pounder than for a 135 pounder to hurt a 180 pounder?

seriously? you need help understanding this?

the bigger you get the stronger you get (i'm generalizing to keep this short), but in the end people are still people. there's a threshold above which you can hit hard enough to hurt any person. being much much heavier helps with taking a shot some, but most of being able to take a shot is just something you're born with.

have you never been to a boxing gym? the guys that fight at 160-175 and are good can fuck up most heavyweights. they have enough power to hurt anybody and an extreme speed advantage over the bigger guys.

the guys that fight at 140 and under can't really hurt anybody bigger than them regardless of speed.

Okay, this makes sense. If I understand you correctly, size boosts strength more than it boosts resilience. Thanks for sharing your observations at the gym.

I would argue this number game needs more inputs. Tall athletic guys have a lot of more lucrative alternatives to combat sports: they can make much more playing football, basketball or hockey. Short guys can excel as jockeys or bodybuilders who don't earn nearly as much: combat sports should be much more attractive to them.

If you walk into an average MMA gym and look around how many guys training are as short as DJ? It needs to be put in perspective just how small the man is. Literally elementary students in fifth grade are larger than this man. He is tiny. A very small percentage of males in the United States are his size. Very small.
