then why doesn’t every ufc fight end that way?
Umm, because it’s equal sized woman vs equal sized woman…..

not just women but every division. You said “just grab them” if it’s that easy to grab someone and rag doll then why doesn’t everyone? So a guy needs technique to close the distance safely, and then take another guy down, but if it’s a woman that doesn’t matter anymore somehow? What if she constantly dances away and jabs you until you bull rush in and hits you with a roundhouse kick to the chin or temple? You think you’re just gonna eat that shite?

I always drop this one in these threads FWIW. I had the chance, back in my LSU days, to put on pads and go four rounds with a girl who fought in the Pan Am games and tried out for the Olympics. Her deal was Judo and TaeKwanDo (spelling?).

I had one semester of Karate at the Urec and a couple of high school fist fights under my belt.

She was way, way, way better trained than me but I had 60 or 70 pounds on her and was considerably taller (reach advantage).

I quickly found out that if I kept distance and let her close she would come in and kick or punch the shite out of me and then slip away. I was really worried about her getting hold of me with the Judo stuff. Eventually I went for broke and rushed her, absorbed half a punch on the way in, and then latched on. I dominated her every time I did this. There was just no way for her to overcome my weight and strength. So, using that real world example, could I beat a trained female UFC fighter who I have 100 pounds on? If I can get close enough to grab her then yes. It also would be super important where this took place. In an Octagon, maybe not but in a bar or a living room where she couldn't dance around? Big advantage to the heavier person.
