Size matters in a fight, let’s face it. With all else being equal, the larger person is usually going to have a huge advantage in strength as well as in the ability to give and take damage.

In an MMA fight, when both practitioners are of similar skill, the larger person is probably going to win most of the time. In the video below, we see an example of a huge disparity in size in a female MMA fight between a judo practitioner and a striker.

This fight took place in Japan, which is probably the only place that would allow such a size disparity to take place. The female judoka in this video is so big she makes Gabi Garcia look somewhat normal in comparison.

Japan sure loved freak show fights though and this one certainly fits the bill. You kind of have to admire the smaller female striker in this one. She goes out there with a good strategy of sticking and moving and lands some pretty good strikes of her own.

It kind of makes you wonder though why her or her team would agree to fight someone so much larger. Hopefully she was well compensated for this as fighting someone so much bigger is potentially dangerous.

As soon as the female judoka grabs a hold of her it’s pretty much over though. The judoka is not only much larger and stronger but the much better grappler as well. Once on the ground, the judoka quickly overwhelms her much smaller opponent and taps her out with a neck crank.

ABOUT JUDO:
Judo (柔道 jūdō?, meaning “gentle way”) was created as a physical, mental and moral pedagogy in Japan, in 1882, by Jigoro Kano (嘉納治五郎). It is generally categorized as a modern martial art which later evolved into a combat and Olympic sport. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata, 形) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice (randori, 乱取り). A judo practitioner is called a judoka.[Source: Wiki]
