That guy is pretty small, all muscle and zero fat for sure.

For being a bouncer, I'm actually very small -6'2" and 190 lbs. I do have extensive close combat training and always fair pretty well when the going gets stupid. After all, most of my opponents are intoxicated .
I've only experienced 1 long/midrange attack in all of my encounters. Nearly every single one has been of the close range in-your-face variety (that I hate, because it's difficult to see their hands). Joint-locks and quick takedowns are the order of the day here. I prohibit all of my junior staff members from striking customers, there's simply no reason to go toe-to-toe with a drunk and turn a scuffle into a spectator event.
However, age is getting the better of me now. I have a bad back and I don't bounce back from injury as quickly as I used to. I got a rib bruised on Halloween and it took 3 months to recover.

the guy isn't fighting, he's showing out. i think it jumps to a lot of conclusions to basically assume entirely how he might fight. i think all fights come down to a number of factors. a guy can be big as all ****es and if he can't move fast enough to defend himself from quick and effective blows, he's going down, i don't care how big he is. body blows are one thing, but throats, noses, etc, can only be covered by so many layers of fat and/or muscle. he only exhibits this one style of martial arts. to make assumptions on his skill in a fight and/or defensive training would be naive, and could get an overconfident person in a bar fight into trouble. i've seen some big bad dudes go down in some serious street fights with one well placed, calm and decisive hit. NEVER underestimate an opponent. NEVER. that being said, the video is really cool, and i like that it's not edited to make every move look perfect. it's pretty real.

Allow me to quantify my previous statement. This guy wouldn't stand a chance against aomeone twice his size, assuming both had relatively equivalent skills in martial arts. Obviously some fatass who knows nothing about fighting would get dropped by him, or anyone who knows anything about fighting. However, put him against a 275# fighter and he's dead meat.

Granted, there are exceptions. I saw Ken Shamrock (6'2, 220#) years ago take down a huge sumo wrestler (6'9" 600#) with about 100-200 consecutive blows to the head. He fractured his hands in the process, but he won the fight.

Nevertheless, I maintain my stance that size DOES matter in fighting. A little guy just doesn't harness enough energy to stand with a big guy.
