While the UFC has its own limitations, it still, for me, was a watershed in my understanding. At a minimum, it proves that all that Oriental mystical mumbo-jumbo is a load of ripe meadow muffins.

Until something better comes along, I consider the UFC to be the best forum to separate the truth from the horse hockey. In UFC, the little guy wins only about 10% of the time, generally because of better grappling skills or because big guy is a fat boy who runs out of gas too fast. (Unless fat boy PASSES gas, which is always an instant win.)

Otherwise, if big guy is fit AND skilled, little guy is toast. There IS NO inherent advantage to being smaller, except in getting pounded into small hole in ground.
