Houston Alexander has a great physique for a fighter... and an arrogant attitude to match.

New skinny white boy, Shaeffer, took care of both issues tonight.

more muscular does not always mean stronger. Of course when you reach an elite level of competition size is not everything but it's relative. No 150lb twink can take out a angry and capable 220lb'er

I wouldn't say no 150lb guy could take out a 220lb guy but the 220lb guy has an upperhand

155lbs Genki toyed and punished a 400lbs pro boxer Butterbean with ease.

One of my Trainers (166lbs) entered many open weight BJJ tournaments in
Brazil, he won most of them.
He defeated many 220lbs opponents and in the final he
submitted a skilled 260lbs opponent.

Both of these guys weigh 205.
 
Houston is more muscled; Schafer is taller.

Bad example of a skinny guy beating up a muscled guy.

The size disparity isn't even that great.

We're just figuring this out? It's a fight not a physique contest. More muscle = more oxygen used. If you don't have the lungs for it, you're gonna gas.  Why do you think the fighters are so lanky now?

do people actually realise there are techinques in grappling?
You cant just rely on your weight advantage, only against a noob but not against someone who knows what he's doing
