Shortly before the 1st UFC, Royce went to Philly to roll in a challenge match with 2 brothers who were freestyle wrestlers; each weighing in at near the 4 bills mark.
The video was amazing; Royce was clearly the better technician and athlete, but was geometrically unable to put a choke on the guys...their danged necks were too thick to get an arm around! One of them, once rear-mounted, he had to go for a Japanese wristlock on. The other guy tapped out because Royce strained the dudes back jockeying for position.
Size definitely matters.

Blasphemer
Well, size matters MOST of the time. As giver and reciever of size-related BJJ whoopins...I was 6'4"", 245 when Royler mopped the flooor with me, and 215 when I mopped the floor with an old 49-er and a LA Ram.
So..partial blasphemer.
