      Severely overweight people (a la butterbean) have a hard time rolling over. If you are large enough you can keep them down with good technique. Then it's just a matter of draining their stamina which happens faster the larger the body is.

    Only thing inthink of seeing old fights from Pride Fc is that its Sadly UFC can bring the magic Pride FC once had.

      He was supposed to fight Mark Hunt at one point. Might've happened if Pride didn't fold when it did.

    Butterbean should have given him a crushing bear hug. Squeeze him so hard he can not breathe.
