I've done jiu jiu-jitsu for a good few years and mma for about a year and a half and the number 1 rule when sparring a heavy dude is to never let him get side control, mount or back mount cause you're fucked especially in MMA rules.

@@julienducasse1819what if other dude is same weight ? Would be still difficult ?
This dude is just speaking nonsense, size is relative. He’s always been the biggest guy or one of the biggest guys in the room so more times than not his size alone is physically overwhelming to the other individual and he only feels pressure from other HW
@@sajan901that’s what I was wondering too
@PandasRViolent wdym? It is genuinely a lot harder to get out from underneath a bigger dude without being able to frame with your legs cause they're just heavier. I'm only 80kg and somebody who's 100-120kg is a nightmare to win against if they get top position, it's just common sense
Relative strength tends to be higher and more relevant when looking at smaller dudes. The bigger the guy, the more likely absolute strength is the conversation to have.
Architect of my kodokushi
Relative strength is still absolute strength and absolute strength is still relative strength. Strength is strength. The relative strength still has an objective absolute value and the absolute strength is still a relative portion of the persons weight.
Relative strength doesn’t exist and only exists to favor tiny guys to make up for their insecurities. Total and overall strength is how you gauge strength. 200kg is 200kg no matter who picks it up it doesn’t change the weight.
@@АлексейК-678 yes weight classes are a figment of the imagination and lifting 5x your weight is the exact same as lifting 1-2x your weight and no one is impressed by an ant lifting 100x their weight because I have big muscles, me big man lift rock me cool and strong. As a large man who has no skin in the relative strength game - you're coping so hard. Neurological conditioning of the available musculature is a totally valid way to measure strength relative to weight classes. You will never lift 5x your weight and you know it.
@@KinGSlayEr-y6v "relative strength is still absolute strength"
No, it isn't. Words mean things.
This is why DJ submitting a 200 lb brown belt was so impressive
And he was way bigger than 200. I read he anywhere between 250 and 280. Maybe 2250 more realistically but bigger than 200 for sure
He was like 250
I competed as a bjj light heavyweight before dropping weight divisions and he’s right: anything over 215 feels unbelievably ridiculous heavy on top of you
Had to fight one time a weight class higher than mine because there was no one on the local BJJ tournament here in my former weight class (-100kg/ +-225lb) so they put me to fight against the big guys. Size and strength does matter. A lot.
Fuck, I competed at light heavy after being a welterweight last year and I'm a pretty solid dude below 170, but being 182, lighter than everyone in my class, shorter than everyone and then everyone happened to be athletes and naturally that weight, it was hard as shit.

Dudes back then were bigger and leaner. Look at Shane Carwin, Lesnar, Reem, Bigfoot. Granted a lot of them might've weighed less than some heavies today, but they were 250lean, compared to today's 280lbs of blubber. But I guess that's pre-USADA era, so its to be expected.
@@extraficalCO yeah them boys were juiced
Honestly what heavy weights have a good game cuz 90% of them are literally just big with half a hook
making mistakes in heavy weight is very punishing too,one clean hook could knock you out no matter how good of a fighter you are.
I'm 90kg and he's chatting shit I used to fight with a 6,9 ginger kid I lived with for fun (nohomo) it's not massively harder like grow a pair
Yea because the return on investment doesn’t make as much sense to be expending so much energy on volume and moving when your body is less capable of that and then just 1 punch lands and ends you. They have to fight differently than smaller guys, 135lbers can eat 100 punches and look like a martial arts movie because each punch has less consequence and their movements require less energy than someone moving 265lb’s

The difference between grappling the same friends when i was 110kg vs 80kg is literally night and day....... Tom is 1000% correct here, as anyone who has grappled monsters will confirm!!!
Not many lighter weight fighters carry that flub weight, theyre always cut. Plenty of flub in upper weight classes. Get a lean heavyweight against a flub and you will see the difference I speak of. Not many out of shape fighters in classes that need to cut. Heavyweight is different for sure 💯

As someone who grapples at heavyweight, I can agree but we also have the density to take the pressure. A middle weight guy with all those bones and sharp edges is painful in a different way.
Way less scrambles in MMA heavier weight classes compared to lighter weight classes. In like Flyweight there are people who actually attempt 20 plus takedowns and scramble like crazy for 3-5 rounds. That would never happen in heavyweight. Even 1 failed takedown of a good wrestler can be his definitive loss at HW because of draining cardio. Thats why heavyweight tends to be hard hitters only because grappling just high risk low reward.

@@foodeat2000totally. I’ve grappled with a 300 lb dude and I’ve seen that guy tap from exhaustion. But I’m commenting on what Tom is saying about grappling with a heavy weight v someone who weighs 170 lbs.
Didn't we see Demetrius Johnson win a BJJ comp against a heavyweight??? Its all about skill.
For the Americans,
80 kilograms = 176 lbs
110 kilograms = 242 lbs
120 kilograms = 265 lbs
This is extremely true from a former HWT wrestler and currently super ultra heavy jiu jitsu guy
A lot of the heavyweights don’t have technique though, I think a better example of this would be you can’t rely on a chin in heavyweight because if you do you’re getting slept
Do you think this is the reason why heavyweights are in general more long lives in their careers compared to lower weight classes? Because they take an overall less brain damage due to the fact that they go down much more easily and don't take so much accumulated damage?
@@andreimuresian7146 oh shit yeah maybe, I feel like that makes sense. Just one clean blow and it’s lights out. But a lighter guy takes several clean blows a lot of the times. Kinda like how boxing has more CTE than mma
Its better to get lights out early than to be punished 25 minutes straight even if you havent tasted the canvas.
@@joefilms2775Yup. That's why the 10 count is dangerous in boxing.
The award for "no shit" goes to... ✋️ Tom Aspinall
As long as you have the strength of an average heavyweight, and can get to top position, grappling those guys is easy. I bounce between super and ultra heavy. Because they’re less mobile, they’re easier to control and dominate. It’s the reason why in BJJ (at those weight classes) that the guy who gets the first takedown, or ends up on top, wins 80% of the time.
Agreed, I’m a stocky guy 5’10 and 230, I usually have an easier time controlling the guys bigger than me from the top, some of the smaller guys at my gym are also VERY proficient at armdrags from the bottom, I’ve found the bigger guys don’t have the speed to get around me like that.

The other guy thought he was onto something 😂😂😂
@@EdgyDabs47Wtf you talking about,Nogueira ragdolled Bob Sapp,Frank Mir too with 30+lbs opponents
Bro, side control itself becomes a submission against big dudes
but it’s the same weight for the opponent so therefore if you actually wanna say that, it’s not true because they are all the same weight or close to it and that means they deal with the same thing but if you’re bigger you are stronger unless you don’t work out or something
I mean strength and weightl aren't necessarily directly proportional so I'm sure its different
you missed his entire point, basically, a 150 guy can wrestle a 150 guy without exerting even close to the same effort as a 240+ guy wrestling another 240+ guy. The reason for that is the weight increase isnt proportionate to the strength increase. Heavyweights are really strong, but not strong enough to wrestle with a professional 240 pounds of meat as easily as a 150 guy can with another 150.
Its hard to explain if i were to put it another way, lets say every 10 pounds of a human equate to 1 level in size, and strength/cardio was arbitrarly also put in levels, a size lvl 12 will be lvl 12 in strength lets say, a size lvl 13 will be a lvl 12.5, a size lvl 14 will be lvl 13, as size increases so does strength but not proportionatly, by the time u get to lvl 24 size youve got lvl 20 in strength lets say, that makes far and above the strongest, but if youre fighting another lvl 24 size, the 4 lvls between size and strength becomes a problem, that gap is alot wider than the size lvl 14 whos only got 1 lvl of differential.
TLTR:
As u increase in weight and size ur strength increases but not at the same pace. The heavier you are the bigger the gap between your weight and the strength you can exert, that gap gets smaller the lighter you are
@@elic2575Problem is, the 150 guys are lightyears ahead in terms of skill so by the time you get the 150'er off of you, you've defended like 2-3 submission attempts and scrambled for 5 minutes. Heavyweights are well heavy yeah but the skill level is nowhere near Lightweight.
@@elic2575 But isnt it true that someone who is for example 240 wouldn’t they be more able to lift something that weighed in at around 480 easier than someone who weighed 120 would be able to lift something that’s 240 or even about the same if they were strength trained about the same i’m just curious not hating
@@prettybird3804 id disagree with that tbh, first on the premise idk how true that is, if both are trained id expect it to be pretty proportional or slightly on the lighter side (dont forget most 240+ guys are gym goers while most 120 arent). Also, i shouldve specified but when i use strength i mean it in a broad way, im counting muscle endurance in that, which in an mma fight is very important and is a big part of why wreslting a 240+ man is hard as a 240. Its having a shorter gastank and yet having to exert more effort than any other weight classes
When the ufc was full of killer fighters the Light heavyweight was the best class...
I fractured my forearms in wrestling because i was the third heaviest guy on the team. We had two heavyweights who had to cut every week to make 300. I wrestled 189. I weighed 184. I had a partner in my weight class but if most of the guys flaked out of practice anyways. If one of our guys didnt show it was a bad day for me. Fireman carries were a joke to watch, but was insanity to pull off with one of them. One guy, all practice, would grab me, fall onto me or grab my arm and throw me...by my arm. I had hairline fractures all up and down my arms bracing their weight and impact. I told my coach i was getting "shin splints" in my arms and i went and got checked. Yep. Big guys just did cardio if one didnt show after that.
That sounds like your coach was a moron with no common sense. I hope you’re atleast stronger from that experience
Being a heavyweight is not that specifically different. It's generally about the weight class.
I agree with Tom for sure. There aren't near the same amount of subs in the HW division as in other divisions. It's simply different
Tbh that's just because grappling takes more skill and HW are less skilled on average
Yeah cause heavyweights suck.😂
You can cut corners with your technique if you're bigger, and there are techniques the lighter opponent can't get away with, fighting a larger opponent.
This is why you should only be heavyweight if you are truly truly genetically supposed to. The guys in lighter categories have a greater structure to muscle mass ratio. Their bones, ligaments, tendons and joints are meant for their weight class. Heavyweights should be the same. Obviously, there are many exceptions to this. It’s a good argument for more weight classes between 205 and 265.
There is a black guy on RUclips who grapples with a Spider-Man suit on and I have seen him submit much heavier guys while he probably weighs 150lb. Technique and experience can make a lightweight feel like a heavyweight. You would need someone like Jones or Aspinall to erase those advantages.
bro forgot he was a heavyweight to
you don't understand what he is trying to say? a heavy weight big as him on top of him(a heavy weight) is different from a 80kg guy on top of a 80kg guy, heavy weight fighters are stronger but it's harder to escape from bottom position for heavy weight fighters because they don't have the leverage to use their power at a bottom position,it's much harder for a heavy weight fighter to push off another heavy weight fighter than a light weight vs light weight.
Can confirm I roll with smaller black belts all the time it has gotten my bjj better but when you roll with the giant mf black belts it’s different
What he's not understanding is that in weightclasses it matters. But for work load. He doesn't understand that smaller guys put out much more energy. And cardio and skill.
Jailton Almeida is a former welterweight that will pickup and throw around any heavyweight in the division. So his point is kinda wrong

He is talking from a perspective of professional fighting of course. Where both fighters know the counters or at least enough to get in there. What I learned from grappling with bigger guys in Judo is you wait for their mistake before you try to get physical. You need the advantage of position and timing and a heavyweight or someone bigger may have the position but no matter who you are, the timing is everything. One mistake can cost you.
It's your same weight class dude. You've just been playing on easy mode with smaller guys if you're of this opinion.
Exactly my same thought.
It should be relative to your size. That’s like saying it’s easier to grapple fly weights as a welterweight, like ya dude .
Like I don’t think you need to be a heavy weight to know that grappling someone your own size is usually harder than grappling someone smaller. For this to be accurate Tom needs the ability to change weight classes in the snap of the finger so he can compare the actual classes

makes sense. As an average person, just think how difficult it is if 250lbs laid on top of you covering you head to toe and didn't let you bench press them off.

Wouldn’t it be relative though, like a 60kg guy with a 60kg guy on him would feel like a 100kg guy on a guy that is 100kg?
Nope. 100kg is 100kg. Doesn’t matter if you weigh that or not.

Tell that to DC.
All small people in the comments are proving what he is saying, you have to be a heavyweight and grapple with heavyweights to know how it feels.
You would think that between heavyweights the advantage disappears but in that weight class conceding the bottom position for example is desvastating , but in smaller division is more usual from both grapple to switch position during a round. Trust me , between heavyweights with the same skillset and weight , someone gets to side control , you are almost going to finish the round in that position
it's easy enough to toss around a 250 pound guy if you have positional advantage on the feet. but like you said, never concede bottom position. big mistake
Small people are fuckin' insecure.

For you guys who only lift weights in the gym to try to look big: imagine lifting 80kg bench press or squat 5 reps. Now do it with 110kg. That's more or less the difference. Or if you can do 100kg bench then its like lifting 140 instead.
After considering this, can anyone think of a khabib like heavyweight grappler in mma? Closest I can get is that Josh Barnett guy but even he used strikes as often as anyone else. Am I missing anyone? And not sure nogera counts as real heavyweight
He said the same thing like 4 different ways
He’s right. It’s just so tiring having a heavyweight on you that your ability is really cut in half because you have to rest after doing the smallest transition. Even though you may be strong moving all that weight against its will is impossible. When I grappled my super heavyweight my focus was... sry I know nothing
It’s relative that’s a why there’s weight classes
That's why the lower weight classes require more skill, especially FLW, people don't give those guys enough credit because they're not as popular
Wouldn't Tom aspinal having a heavyweight on top of him be the same as a smaller guy having a smaller person on them? Is a heavyweight heavier to another heavyweight than a lightweight is to a lightweight?
It's definitely different
I think it's the power to weight ratio which starts dramatically decreasing the heavier you get
Not saying hes necessarily wrong, but does he know what its like to be 80 kilo grappling with someone whos also 80 kilo? The only difference is in that division you may be going against someone thats a good bit heavier
This is where the “mma math” makes sense.
Its 100% true. Techique wins but you need to be quite a bit better to out " weigh" the heavier man
As a 80 kilo guy with a teacher that’s 110 kilos I can confirm its not easy at all
