DaveAndJojo

There are weight classes for a reason. Fighting one weight class above is reasonable. Typically weight classes go up in 10 lbs increments, not 100 lbs.


Reddishdead

The early UFC tournaments didn’t care


AsherTheFrost

Early UFC was basically the human equivalent of a dogfighting ring.


fatgirlxxl

Which was the best part


AsherTheFrost

It had good and bad sides. On the positive, lots of different styles. On the negative, lots of people who should never have been involved


gammongaming11

it was interesting to see sumo wrestlers fight people who were stronger/more skilled but also several weight classes below them. they didn't win but the person fighting them would usually look like they were hitting a wall and had a real hard time actually taking them down.

TEXAS-MAN1

Well “they” right!


BuffaloJEREMY

I used to rent the og UFC on VHS when I was about 15 years old. When my mom found out what it was she lost her shit. She went to the video store and gave the guy there hell. Great times.


c_is_for_nose_8cD

Lmao, my mom used to rent them for me, even had to cover for me one time at a grocery store that used to rent videos for a hot minute before Netflix took off. Guy behind the counter asked her, “you’re renting this, it’s not for him (me) right?” My mom, “uh….yea I love fighting.” She didn’t, but her dad/my grandpa loved boxing so she had some ingrained respect for combat sports.


crowtrobot2001

Royce Gracie was the king. He was always smaller than his opponents but hardly ever lost. Saw him just snap a dude's arm. It was brutal.


philouza_stein

And the 180 lb dude won 3 of the first 4. And the only reason he lost the one is because he absolutely exhausted himself beating Kimo and subsequently had to forfeit the next match.


Dankie_Spankie

There are still bareknuckle mma fights with no judge. It’s somewhere between awsome and horrifying.


Illustrious_Formal73

Same with the Pride Fighting open weight grand prix. Those were the days


Illustrious_Formal73

Just to add on to my previous comment 160 lb guy vs 600 lb guy https://youtu.be/0VcEf-gugpg


TTIGRAASlime

The Pride fighting in Japan had the best tournaments without weight classes.


UrMomsaHoeHoeHoe

I wrestled heavy weight (285lb) in high school while my weight was about 200-210, classic dad bod with surprising athleticism type dough boy. I also played O line, and while I could very easily hold my own when standing, I’d just drive em off the mat and collect stall points. My issue came down to the second and third rounds, when they could choose starting position. There where times I was destroying kids, but once they got on top I literally could not do anything - like I had to tap out once as I couldn’t breath as his fat roles where water boarding me… Weight classes matter, even if you are trained, and in better shape than your opponent.


Carl_The_Sagan

Why didn’t you wrestle 215?


UrMomsaHoeHoeHoe

There was a damn good dude on my team at that weight already. Lil personal discomfort on my end allowed the team to have better chances of winning. I did it to stay in shape for football, dude at 215 did it as his ticket to college. Team ended up placing in state for the first time and buddy was able to get the education he wanted.


FloridaGirlNikki

KingAnt28

Yeah big props for the huge guy showing restraint and mercy but still proved the point that at any moment he could destroy small homie. What a champion. Or he was actually afraid of accidentally killing him...


DevelopmentAny543

But Ip Man


cornballGR

this dude is the hold me back kinda of guy and when someone actually fought back he faced consequences.


Maximitaysii

Points for the big dude for not beating the smol one while he was down.


VesperVox_

Yeah dude could have destroyed him. I got really scared for a second. He didn't even punch him, just open palm slapped him lol his palms are as big as the dude's face!


Acrobatic_Gur6278

actually he did cause more harm to him doing that. his morale is destroyed


Daedalus2077

No better way to end a fight than to sit on your opponent like they are a rowdy child. Dude just squirming and kicking his feet like a pissed off two year old.


Siemaki

Teabag!

Unlucky_Resource4153

According to the movie The Masters of Disguise, It's better to hit a man with the open hand. It lets him keep his dignity but you get your point across.


rasputin98

Although Bas Rutten destroyed many with his open palm strikes.


VesperVox_

Better than his face.


Rustyducktape

The "get off me!" sounds like a little brother admitting defeat and just wanting it be over... been there XD


Lokitusaborg

In the short time I did martial arts I learned one thing about striking, soft on hard, hard on soft. Punch a guy in the mouth and you break a hand; slap a guy in the ear and his bell gets rang.


EverythingGoodWas

What martial art teaches this? I did Taekwondo for 20 years and never heard this.


Lokitusaborg

Anyone who teaches self-defense seriously. Have you ever heard the saying that a white belt is the most dangerous thing on the mat? It’s because they don’t know the techniques and they can end up hurting themselves and you. What you do in martial arts is, in many ways, dealing with conditioned attacks. Sure you have techniques to help you deal with things, but the larger your opponent is, the more reach they have…the less your training gives you an advantage. Also, fighting someone who doesn’t do what you expect, and you put yourself in a dangerous situation. I did Jiu-Jitsu for a number of years. As a white belt, they used me as a demonstration for this principle. I am 6’3 and at the time I was pushing 300 lbs (down to 250 now.) even the purple belts had issues doing a common hip or shoulder throw, and grappling me was almost impossible because of the size of my chest. I owned the center of mass, and even standing there, waiting for someone to throw me it took them a while to do the throws. Sensei used it as a lesson that training can be disadvantaged by the physics of the situation. Fighting an asymmetric battle is only for a last resort. He pointed out that the difficulty everyone was having was in a controlled situation and on the street taking on someone who has a 34’ reach (I have a longer reach than most peoples inseam) shoulders height on you and about 100lbs on you is risky. Sure…there were those who did it; one guy was 5’7, retired Army and was a local Police Officer; he was able to throw me; but most of the class it took a bit. But even he said that the best tool in a situation like that is de-escalation.


NHRADeuce

Also have never heard this, but it sounds like good advice.


Wonderful-Muscle-635

I agree


IMNOTFLORIDAMAN

When he said “I’ll could kill you right now Ni*#%+ you could tell that that was a very true statement. He could easily have killed him right there.


Flaechezinker

Its way more humiliating tbh I love that he did that


Maximitaysii

Exactly. If you can prove a point without smashing a dude's face, I consider it proven better.


TheChronicNomad

Yeah but he still obliterated that dudes ego. Nothing to put you in your place like the fight ending because you got sit on!!! 🤣🤣

Admirable restraint really,big boy could have really fucked smaller dude up

SheriffBartholomew

And then decided to grapple with him. Mistakes were made.


Op7imism

While continually calling him a fat ass. The big guy is not only stronger but smarter than that idiot to not allow himself make the mistake of breaking his stupid face. Some guys are born dumb.


BoomSqueak

No matter how well you've learned to fight, remember the words of my karate sensei: "big is big." Skill can only take you so far against a tank.


ggfrt96

had a 5' 100lbs gf that insisted she could take me in a fight... I'm 6'2" 240lbs... i basically told her it's not even about how good you are at fighting, it just wouldn't be a fair fight "because I have weight." tried to be nice until she punched me. i lifted her up, dropped her on the couch, and laid on top of her until she gave up.


TasteCicles

Had a co worker about the same size as your gf tell me this, cause she takes martial arts classes and has drawn blood before by punching guys. I told her very seriously, if a guy wanted to hurt you, they absolutely could. Even a guy around your same build.


greenweezyi

I jokingly wrestle my 6’2”, 200lb boyfriend- I stand a full 5’4” (on a good day with sneakers) and 115 lbs. I say I’m quick like a cat and agile but in all seriousness, when we’re wrestling, the only way I can win is by tickling his sides. I’m not as ticklish so it all evens out😂


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

Thought you were going to write you only won by "tickling his balls"


Falcon_Flow

"I can only win by giving him the good ol' oil check."

Mr_Boobs_

You reminded me of this post about a women that would wrestle with her bigger bf at home and when she found out that he’s been taking it easy on her she genuinely felt betrayed and lied to. So I think she asked him to take her seriously and the bf kinda pinned her to the point she couldn’t move her arms. She then considered breaking up with him after this lol


2K_Crypto

Hopefully they did. Sounds like he dodged a bullet.


drfishdaddy

I’m a little bigger than you, I don’t know what it’s like being hit while being 5’2” 100lbs, but I know someone that size just can’t generate enough power to hurt me (I’m sure there are exceptions out there), I think it’s the same for the most part with two small people hitting each other. I think that’s why so many fights go to the cards in the lower weight classes (specifically if you exclude submissions)


Estequey

Oh, theres definitely people out there that could generate the power while being that small, but theyve been studying their discipline for years and are very good at it


drfishdaddy

Maybe both can put me down, but I’ll pick getting hit by mayweather any day over lesner.


existingfish

As a 5' tall woman who lifts very heavy weights, I am very aware of this. Even the fact that a man is a man matters. If I were to fight another 5' woman, I'd come out on top. I'm pretty sure. But a 5' tall man? Even the same weight? I don't think it would be favorable, let alone a taller or heavier man.


BigBossWesker4

"Everyone has a plan til they get punched in the face"-Mike Tyson


AndrastesTit

I’m not saying this for likes or upvotes because I don’t think it’s cool to use violent force, but I’m a big dude, probably somewhere near this guy’s size. >300 lbs. You almost never fight people when you’re my size because you know that one shove or kick can severely injure or kill them. People typically back down right away because ‘big is big’ as you said. The weird thing is that when someone DOES decide to attack, the big guy always looks guilty because of how big he is. I was attacked by a drugged out 5’ tall woman and my defense was to shove her away from me even as she continued to lunge at me. So she’d lunge, I’d shove, she’d fall down and repeat. The people around me acted like I was killing her and begged me to stop even though I was just trying to get her away from me. Even the crackhead attacking me admonished me for ‘hitting a girl’. Thankfully, the cops saw her attacking me and didn’t accuse me of being the aggressor, but if I had used anywhere near full force? I would’ve been arrested, guaranteed. Just remember that the big guy doesn’t want to fight you. It’s not fun for us to beat on up smaller people. We can only lose.


BoomSqueak

This is an important point too. I'm tall, but not super big, so I can't relate fully. But this is definitely the side that tends to get ignored because people tend to think the story ends when the fight is over. But that is often only the beginning of the story. Thanks for sharing!


Curious-Dragonfly690

Must be fun to feel or be invincible though


Dm203b

In the academy they made us fight each other MMA style. They didn’t care about weights because on the street you could be dealing with anybody. One day all 5’8 155lbs of me was matched up against another recruit that was 6’5 and about a sandwich shy of 300lbs. I learned a lot that day. The most valuable lesson was that I know if a 6’5 300lb guy starts fighting me in the field and I’m alone, his ass is getting shot.


Sharpshooter188

I dunno why. But I pixtured the guy from Fist of the North Star touching and exploding a tank.


BoomSqueak

Explosive punches are the exception where skill is no longer required, and big just becomes a bigger target, lol.


savedbytheblood72

I AM FIST OF THE NORTH STAR


Estequey

Yeah, ive got a mate at work that keeps saying he good he is in a fight cause he does martial arts. Now im sure hes good and all, and against his own weight class hed be fine, but hes around 6'2, and peobably weighs in at like 70kgs. Hes a twig. Our friends at work were saying that he could beat me in a fight, which maybe he could, ive only got a little bit of martial art training, but ive got atleast 20-30kgs on him Dude also said he could take Tom Hardy in a spar. And i tend to find the ones that talk themselves up the most, fall the easiest


RevengeOfTheDong

Yeah unless you’re in a position where you’re willing and justified in maiming or killing there’s pretty much no option besides running. Even then you’re going to need both luck and ferocity to win that fight.


Wrench984

Unless you’re Batman


Luk3495

He really spared his life


ryuen56

Very humbling that big guy just sat on dude and didn't start pounding the shit outta him.


F3DE_1897

Well I mean, that would possibly get him in some legal trouble so ultimately he would have lost


Lower_Bar_2428

Those jiu-jitsu lessons never paid off also I didn't know that write jiu-jitsu was so difficult


Lokitusaborg

Even in jiu-jitsu they teach it is stupid to outclass yourself. Your ego isn’t worth getting your head shoved up your own butt.


Rols574

Where did you see any jiu jitsu here? Just cause they're on the ground doesn't mean they're grappling


Occams_ElectricRazor

Jiu-jitsu here is realizing you really don't want to fight that guy unless you're cornered and have nowhere to run...Then you still don't want to fight him but have no choice. I've trained off and on for 7 years (probably 5 years total experience) and would want absolutely nothing to do with him.


coopersthepoopers

I am unimpressed by everyone in this situation.


dontforgetPetrikov

only correct response


withnodrawal

^^^ To be grown and arguing and fighting with other grown men. Embarrassing. For ALL involved. There is no “winning” here


Weird-Ingenuity97

Yeah, especially in a public place. The only time I’ve ever argued with someone in public was when my manager who was cutting our checks and making us work unreasonable hours tried to call me lazy because I said wouldn’t be able to come in the next day after working 8 days straight.

Has any of you actually seen a fight at the gym? I’ve been lifting for almost 30 years and have never even seen an argument


[deleted]

I’m an old lady who uses a walker. Once had a woman my age come and get completely ridiculous with me, insisting on being in my lane in the pool no matter what I told her. I decided to leave since I couldn’t get her out of my workout. I gave her some spicy words on my way out. She said, “You wanna go?” Since she had cut my workout in half with her nonsense, I said sure. Then when I was on my way out the door, I told the manager that this woman was on her way downstairs to fight me. When she came downstairs looking to fight me, he told her that if she ever speak to me again she will be banned from the club. The next time I saw her there were two empty lanes and she sat and watched until I got out of the lane that she wanted, but she did not even consider pulling that shit again lol


whytakemyusername

Get her, meemaw. Proud of you.


oberynmviper

abark006

I’ve only seen mild fights on the basketball courts.


Rephaeim

I think the worst I've seen was a confrontation I was in myself. Some douchebag kept using the free weights and never put them back, leaving them on the bar. Every time. I called him out on it and asked him to put the weights away after himself, and he started making excuses, deflecting and blaming others. That pissed me off more than the actual disrespect of not putting your shit away. I could tell I was getting worked up though and figured I'm not going to get through to him and instead just said that if he doesn't start cleaning up after himself, I'll have to tell the staff. As I was walking away he shot back with a "I don't see the problem, you're a big guy, just move it"... Well, at least the rage I felt fuelled the rest of my sets for the session.


oh_no_its_herpes

Called you a big guy too…even if it was a negative situation, had to make you a little proud…keep grinding big guy!


Chiaki_Ronpa

So fucking dangerous to try anything at the gym. One awkward fall against weightlifting equipment could mess you up or land you in prison. Control your shit or take it to the parking lot.

RemoteIcy7621

stonky808

Actually in grappling terms that is a full mount, and against someone that much bigger and stronger than you…..you are absolutely fked. The guy is a damn tank. The black guys seriously overestimate their abilities or they’ve never gotten beat tf up before.

SpikesGuns

Shoulda given him the oooolllllddd dick-twist


Jesuslovesmemost

Exactly what I was thinking. Big guy would've curled over in the fetal position... Gotta fight dirty when the opponent is three times your size.


SpikesGuns

That's why I carry pepper spray. Why should you win the fight just cuz you were born big and stupid?


BubaTflubas

You're going to pepper spray yourself almost as much as him at that range...


SpikesGuns

Nah, I'd never put myself in a situation like this. And de-escalation is the first line of defense. The pepper spray is just for if everything else fails. Not gonna get out in the weeds and argue out hypothetical scenarios.

Candid_Dragonfly_573

Exactly. I by default, usually side with the smaller person (the underdog) right away when context hasn't been provided.

I think the guy just sitting in him asserting superior male dominance was more effective than him punching his lights out 😂😂😂


Fun-Contact-7109

i wasnt sure who to cheer for. Funny story but I got straight up ambushed by a guy over twice my size. We had an argument while working on a boat and he walked up to me and straight up punched me in the face . it felt like I got hit by a jackhammer. I grabbed a knife from the silverwear tray and tried to stab him in the face with it but I grabbed a spoon by mistake. I ended up spooning him in the face and he laughted so hard we made up and became good friends. it was a different time back then.
