Can't believe I forgot about The Mountain AKA The World's Strongest Man Hafthor Bjornsson rolled with Gordon Ryan, who is basically the best no gi BJJ practitioner in the world.
Obviously the size and strength difference is there. While Thor may not be "athletic" in the same sense as others, he has his own advantages...and has little to no training.

It's about as close as I can think of a regular person (in terms of skill) but having size and strength advantages over someone who isn't nearly as big but has training.

Thor: 6'9, 400lbs.
Gordon Ryan: 6'2, 240lbs.

Yes, I am aware these are two freakish humans, lol:

I encourage you to try it. The diversity of occupations of the people you'd run into while training is immense.
You wouldn't need to compete (it's encouraged though), you'd go at your pace, train at your skillset.
Roll and have fun.

Jiu Jitsu absolutely has weight classes. Sure, if you're over a certain weight it is then open, but that's the way every other discipline does it, too.

It's the collective of the belt rank and everyone within it competes.
Now, BJJ has those and has had them (I believe) for a very long time. It's hazy for me in regards to what BJJ was doing prior to its introduction to the US.
But they'll take all the participants of blue belt and have them compete, purple, brown, and black. Winners are declared the Absolute <insert belt rank> Champion.
White belts would just be chaotic injuries, lol.

I showed some examples as a means to say, those are competitions where the competitors are the same belt ranks (which is debatable because gyms/lineage debate promotion/time, etc) against larger opponents of the same rank.

Imagine the larger guys being the same height, weight, and athletic ability but having virtually no training.

But the UFC didn't used to have weight classes. The first UFC was basically no rules except no biting or eye gauging. There weren't weight classes either.
I recall some guy won some fights simply shoving his chin into his opponent's eye socket as a submission.
The major reason for implementation for rules was the lack of participants willing to accept said rules, and several state politicians banned the UFC who had to comply with state athletic commissions. This included, among other things, weight classes.

What is interesting is the UFC is now, very strict on their rules with steroids but also weight loss standards, while other world tournaments do not test for steroids, except the IBJJF Worlds I believe still do.

Gee, thanks for that. I couldn't tell.

Looks like North Carolina makes some shitty roads.

Wilt still has to be the king.

My best year was 19. That tops rifles best year by at least a dozen. Some of mine might have been on the chubby side, arguably ugly, many shades of color, but still pork.

Pretty easy to beat rifle though, since he only likes to stand there. Maybe I should be competing against Arche and murox.

Three different instances and girls in one day, five different girls in three days. *

* That excludes one-time situations where I had had two to three girls at once. I have had so many of those that I can't remember them all. Occasionally, a memory picture of one of them will pop up on my phone or something will remind me of when of the girls, and I will remember the incident, but if I had to sit here and think of all of the times, I bet I'd only be able to remember half of them. A small number of them happened with a girl I was dating and one or two of her friends, but the overwhelming majority of them are just random girls who were friends. And yes, I have pictures of many of the incidents.

This is I40 near the NC and TN border. One side of the interstate is gone.

This is what happened to Chimney Rock, NC today. The lower picture is the before picture.

Yeah, but it’s a sliding scale. Britney is just over half of her age. That much younger allows her to be that much crazier.

Go to any BJJ gym and ask the professors what sort of phone calls they get from people wanting to train...you'll almost always get people who say something along the lines of, "Oh, I bar fight all the time and I wanna train and be in the UFC in 3 years, bro!"
"All I see is red, bro...those chokes won't work on me" then proceeds to get slept on the mat.
I'm glad you respect and enjoy the sport, it's a ton of fun to do as well. I've been around lots of people who think they have an idea of what it's like, come into the gym for a day, and are never seen again.
I guess for those who train, sitting next to people who don't, it's a wildly different perspective...and sadly, the most obnoxious UFC fans are the ones who never made it past the free two week trial period.

First, you stole Ducky's entire persona. Now, you're using pathetic attempts that Middle Class Murox tried using. I wish I could say "you're better than that" attempt, but I'm not sure that is the case.

Do you think I should fvck Paula Abdul? She keeps texting me. She looks really, really good for her age, and I'd probably do it just for the story regardless of how she looked. But years ago, I believe she had some dependency/crazy issues, and I don't want my junk chopped off in my sleep.

And since you all care so much, here is the follow-up apology after he confirmed that I was right. There are a lot of bad attorneys and doctors in this country. These incompetent attorneys are based in Kentucky, which not surprisingly, is also where KYJelly and Tier Three are. Added to my annoyance list is people who double space after a period. That is an outdated practice when word processors needed it for easier reading. Morons everywhere:

She's my age, if I can recall. Saw recently on this forum that some were jacking off to the Bangles girl, but I was rubbing it off to Paula. If you close your eyes, ignore the neck wrinkles, and God forbid don't look at the stretch marks, then if a chance at nailing a Medicare eligible recipient, then do it. I know I would. Plus, I would take a picture and brag to my southern wv redneck friends and even charge them $20 to smell my stink finger.

AI post by rifle. Starting to get as boring as a repetitive greed post. Granted, he intentionally tosses in a few one liners, as well as narrates his regenerated photographs, but make no mistake about it, he's using AI software, probably the same one I subscribed to for $20 a month to write my job descriptions, my reports, and my lies to pick up chicks.
