Oh, no. What he really meant that being smaller you should know your place and not be aggressive.

Makwan Amirkhani who is the best Finn in the UFC thing battles in the featherweight class (145 lbs), and he is someone I wouldn't like to meet in a dark alley.

Wow, that's even more of a judgmental stance than I originally had thought he had, lol.



Size when it comes to fighting means very little. It's all in your training and skills. A 5'8" 150 pound boxer would beat the **** out of a 6'8" 280 pound guy who's never fought in his life.

Disney have placed some statues along the south coast of England to promote the new 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film, including these ones coming out of Portsmouth harbour alongside HMS Warrior

We sometimes got a stupid idea at a party that we will wrestle.

The first opponent was a girl who is 168 cm and weighed around 50 kg. It took me two seconds to beat her.

Then there was a good friend and a researcher in robotics, he is 180 cm tall and probably weighed 90 kg at the time. He was victorious, but after a long struggle

The last opponent was a former basketball player, 199 cm tall and weighed like 110 kg, and he subdued me after a short struggle.

In the final round the basketball player won the scientist, but not as fast as expected.

What can we learn from this? Size does matter, but determination is valuable too.

Skill is important as well. Raw strength is only useful to a certain extent.

It is true, but our skill levels were pretty much zero.

And we Finns are very competitive in any game. Be it a board game, football, basketball, jeopardy or monopoly, it might end in a fight.
