When does size and strength overcome skill in a fight?

Could division 1 offensive linemen take on the UFCs flyweights in a fight?

I would assume the lineman would go over .500.

I was surprised how badly I got worked over by a WSOF level 125 pounder in training though even though I had no reason to think my untrained 155 pound self should have a chance other than how small her was.
 
I think a flyweight would beat a linemen, flyweights have all types of weird submissions like heel hooks so if they even get into a scramble or grab a hold of a linemen they could tap them out or break a limb. Didn't DJ submit a huge guy in a BJJ tournament earlier?
 
Not here:


There's definitely a size beyond which more size is a disadvantage in a fight (usually considered to be about 6"4', 240lb for your standard athlete type), and while Fedor is smaller than that, Hong Man Choi is much bigger than that. Once you have the size/strength to one-strike KO anyone with a hit that comes close to but misses the mark, more size mostly just slows you down and tires you out (exception for some wrestlers who can force their opponents to carry their weight, tiring both out).
 
size really only matters when either both parties can fight or neither party can fight.
I would say tho when you start getting up there like 100 lbs ( not just some fat piece of shit) im talking like a dude with stature and size that isnt dead weight then it becomes a huge issues regardless of anything. even retards can hulk smash
 
If it’s a street fight and I’m a 5’4 flyweight mma fighter going up against a 6’4 lineman I’d go for a nut shot asap.

No matter how skilled you are you can still get picked up and slammed. It’s fine for a mat or a canvas platform, but you don’t want to get slammed onto asphalt or a curb.
 
If anyone thinks they are tapping a d1 linemen or a nfl linemen I'll take that bet. It's not happening especially in a street fight. Maybe gi on in a gym, no rules I promise the linemen when 90 percent.
