Well lol, its more about technique and how you use your strength, more than overall strength...  Someone burns size that didnt know how to fight would get reamed out by a guy like this kid...  But someone burns size that knows what he's doing would obviously mash them with their thumb.

It doesnt take alot of strength to armbar somebody, or to put them in a triangle..  Just technique.

No I know it's mostly technique but if you have that down then getting stronger would just be a further advantage imo.

Kid really believes that he'll lose his flexabilty..  I tried explaining that he doesnt need to bulk lol.  He's weak as FUCK, but an amazing grappler..

He wont get far without doing some strength training, ive been fighting for 9 years and you get to a point where its basicly all or nothing with training.

mma isnt like it was in the 90s, we train 3 hours a day 6 days a week now

I discussed this with an MMA fighter.. I suggested he go to the gym with me, he said he is naturally strong, and if he lifts he'll lose his flexability and suck.

Idn I'd rather be able to throw somebody than knock them out..  Better than putting my face by their ball sack.. Thus why I was taking judo and boxing.

tell your buddy to check out this video @ about 1:30 and on, and ask him again if he thinks being big affects your flexibility THAT much
