Okay, you and MEM need to stop proclaiming yourselves as being the foremost experts on hand-to-hand in relation to weight classes. You have no clue what you're talking about.

This isn't boxing we're talking about where fighters are confined to jabs, hooks, and haymakers. And even then, if you know how to throw your weight correctly, you can do some hefty damage regardless of a weight disparity.

Speaking from personal experience in combatives certification courses I can tell you that being tall and wiry gives you a tremendous advantage in leveraging someone to the ground. While it may be true that conventional ground grapples become useless when you get to a certain disparity in weight class, that simply was not the case here. Unless Zimmerman's superior weight class consisted of pure muscle--which I sincerely doubt judging from his build--you have no case here.

So please stop talking out of your ass.
