You're incorrect on the second part. When technique and skill are equal, weight/strength is everything. Case in point would be if say Jeff Glover rolled with Roberto Abreu. Cyborg would take the match 10 out of 10 times. Weight/strength matter less when it's say a 300 pound blue belt vs. a 150 pound brown or black.

lmao, Steve laughed at me for days after my first BJJ class. I got tapped by a triangle 5 times by a guy that I was 80lbs heavier than and almost twice as strong. I couldn't do a damn thing about it, he was doing what ever he wanted to me. Very humbling experience, it make me work twice as hard to because I don't like to be run over. I don't get to train anymore because of injuries but I would love to do some rolling again one day.
