Traditional Q and A to round out the week, perhaps slightly heavier or darker topics than normal, but that is how it goes sometimes. Could an untrained man survive against a female UFC Fighter?

What happens during a traditional Q&A session?

621.32 - 644.245 John Smith

I mean, I was trying to find a lighter word, but that is the actual technical term for what would happen if you stepped into the ring as an untrained, I don't care how tall you are person, you're done. You're coming out of there black and blue at best. And it wouldn't be because of anything that you did. It would be because that other person, that woman was taking it easy on you.

So let's strip this out of the UFC for a second and maybe just talk about, since you brought up and you mentioned jujitsu, which I don't believe is magic. Size is real. The people that I noticed that say, hey, you know, size doesn't really matter. They're all big. Let me tell you what little people say.

661.227 - 673.336 John Smith

Big people suck when it comes to a size and weight advantage because they're on the other side of that. They're constantly forced to defend against that. They're being laid on. They can't get out. There's an excessive amount of force and weight.

673.416 - 694.385 John Smith

And what sucks for them even more, I have to imagine, is that they can feel that level of weight and pressure put on them, but there's no way that they can really apply it back to people because Unless they're way smaller – unless their opponent is way smaller than them. If you're on the smaller side, I mean I don't know of a lot of hobbits and midgets doing jiu-jitsu.

694.905 - 718.37 John Smith

But at some point in time, you're just on the – you're on the – the unfortunate side of the equation. You're just smaller. It is what it is. But the only people I hear saying size doesn't matter are big people. I've never heard a little person say that just for clarity and not, I don't mean little people like dwarf. I mean, people who are like five, eight to five, 10, 150 pounds, six, three.

718.39 - 754.288 John Smith

I would say that against a female athlete, jujitsu competitor, practitioner, would your size be able to, like if it was a white belt, you could probably freak out. At a blue belt level, a female blue belt is going to start giving that man a hard time. And my non-professional personal opinion on this is that if you got tangled up with this person, your friend got tangled up with

755.717 - 778.007 John Smith

you're run of the mill, trains a couple of days per week, but is actively training, cares about technique, is refining their technique, female purple belt. He's done. That's it. Done. Push and extend your arms all you want to. Let me know how that works out for you. You're going to, these women, they're going to take your back. They're going to choke your face off and I'm here for it.

778.207 - 803.584 John Smith

I support it. And honestly, I think if you could actually find somebody to test run this with your friend, it will be the wake up call that he needs. Because men at the age of 21 think we walk around in Superman capes and that you're gonna see red and you're just gonna put all of this stuff together when life presents you with a violent situation and you won't. If this guy gets humbled at 21,

805.422 - 825.418 John Smith

I can't even fathom starting jujitsu at 21. And again, it's not magic. So you should do boxing. You should do Muay Thai. Go find wrestling. I don't know what that would look like if there's like wrestling clubs for people who are 21. I don't know the answer to that one, but grappling, whatever it is, go do all of that stuff. I found this stuff when I was 40, I think 41. It's ridiculous.
