[quote] You have to ask yourself honestly, if training and technique actually negated size and strength, why the need to match people up by size? A 105 pound woman should have no trouble at all fighting a 300 pond man in a BJJ or Judo tournament. But they do, don't they. [quote]
Correct me if I'm wrong ON THIS PART OF YOUR POST, Mike, but I've seen footage of the very first UFCs and they don't have weight categories. As a result, matches are over before they start, if you will. As a result, weight classes were added to improve entertainment, marketability through longer lasting matches due to same weight class, for one. After which, what's left is, "the better man." So, while I basically agree with your post, the above is up for grabs.
