I would just like to voice my disapproval at the notion of a BJJ blackbelt being defeated by a collegiate wrestler without submission training.

That is all. : )

PS: And yes I know this is a late reply.

You do realize we are talking about 325 lbs man vs 125 lbs woman right? a 325 pound man with a good amount of grappling experience such a superb college wrestler should be able to handle a 125 pound woman in a grappling match even if said woman is a black belt in BJJ.--Yihman1 18:38, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Also where did it say Tyrone has no submission training? --Yihman1 18:42, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Have we all forgotten that the Disembodied Spirit increases the victim's strength due to the fact that it is a supernatural being? Besides weight or being outnumbered isn't always a factor when it comes to martial arts. Sure she may be 125 lbs but with enough experience and training she could take on someone as big as Andre the Giant. --deadfishv

Yeah I was just acting humorously about the situation (that´s why I had the smiley), pretending a BJJ practitioner would win no matter what the conditions where. Just some old school BJJ elitism you know? : ) no biggie. But she could have rolled for a toe-hold or something! : )

I just assumed freestyle wrestlers doesn't use any moves that could be translated into submissions in free grappling. Except maybe neck cranks or wrestling guillotines (twisters in BJJ).

Nah, unless you´re extremely lucky I´ll have to disagree. You could be Marcelo Garcia and not be able to defeat/submit someone with a 200 pounds advantage on you if that person has grappling experience, is ripped as hell, while you´re are not. You wouldn´t be able to finish limb-locks due to the immense strenght diffrence. Chokes would just be slapped right off, and even if you where to sink a choke in I highly doubt you wouldn´t be able to generate enough power to choke someone out due to the highly developt neck muscles.
