Why do people always equate being brolic or buff with knowing how to fight ?

I don't really get the point of this thread since most people aren't trained fighters so the bigger person usually will have the advantage like somebody else said all things being equal which most times they are IRL. nikkas talking about some ole knockout kings x UFC dream matchups type shyt when real life its usually people that aren't trained fighters fighting.

Yep Jones doesn't have punching power either. He's tall but thin as fukk yet he's stood with, ate shots from and beaten dudes with more punching power & mass (Glover, Rampage, Hendo, TRT Vitor, DC, Machida). He pretty much embodies this thread.

Another fight that displays it well is Nick Diaz vs Evanglista Cyborg. Those fukkboys at youtube took the fight down tho



breh the all things equal line of thought can be said for any advantage, it means pretty much nothing. Besides there are so many variables and attributes in a fight, a situation where all but one thing is equal never happens. People say "all things equal" but only account for 2 factors, height and weight

Regarding bold when most people say "all things equal" in this discussion usually mean both cats aren't trained fighters. That's what I usually hear when talking about this not height and weight but in fairness people usually are only talking about people that aren't trained fighters when this comes up.

The thing about early UFC's, is that Rorion Gracie hand picked the competitors. Royce faced people he was leaps and bounds above who he faced as far as skill. Yes, he fought some pretty good wrestlers in Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock, but if both had knowledge in BJJ, Royce would have been crushed.

Point is: smaller dude won based on skill, not size.

Speed and skill usually trump power.

But strength, speed, and skills will trump power. The key to all of it is endurance. If you're endurance game is up to per you'll dominant your opponent.

Because most people have no training or fighting instincts, so it comes down to physical prowess most of the time.

I've seen numerous fights that refute your statement my G

He said all things being equal, meaning all things being equal then give one side more size and strength and the stronger person usually wins.

Bigger is more intimidating and stronger.

There is however a body size in which, it doesn't matter how knowledgeable and experienced you are, your fighting ability actually decreases. Because mass means weight, and weight requires a greater mastery of the body in order to be efficient.

A 270+lbs jacked dude doesn't scare me as much as a 160-200 lbs jacked dude.

Well,I took boxing and martial arts and they always told us never fight angry.because you lose self discipline and you begin to fight wild

YEA, BUT IF THERES A RATIONALITY BEHIND YOUR ANGER, AND U KEEP THE DISCIPLINE, YOU'LL SIMPLY FIGHT WIT MORE PASSION.

I'm fairly skinny and I've fought numerous people who are considered brolic in my lifetime , though some I lost , I also won alot as well and I've seen numerous instances where the skinny kid emerges victor when them and the brolic cat gets into it . When it's all said and done you gotta add alot of factors beside size like agility , dexterity etc if your severely lacking in one of those departments it's a high chance you might walk off the scene with a L . That's why that size rah rah never phased me , nikkas be looking like brock lesnar but their hands be atrocious .

Have you ever been punched in the face by a guy that bench presses 450?
You could be Bruce Lee, and that fist connecting with the side of your head would land you in the hospital.
That's why they equate brute strength with knowing how to "win" a fight.

There's a distinction between size & strength though , you can't determine that off someones physique .

Sheltered nikkas exposing themselves. This isn't street fighter or a summer blockbuster. The laws of nature and physics are still in effect. It takes a 5'5 130lb dude at more to drop a 6'6 265lb guy no matter their skill levels. A swollowen, brolic dude can physically take more hits than a boney, lanky dude.

Weight classes exist for a reason. Elephants don't have natural predators for a reason.

It's all in the mind....and there are certain pressure points on the body when hit it doesn't matter how big you are, you will be weakened...

This is the fundamental principle of Kung Fu, Wing Chun etc.
