[QUOTE="markop2003"][QUOTE="DRAGONPIECEZ"]It's the person who has trained more diligent in their specific art that will come out on top.

The person whose biggest or group with the most people is most likely to win. Even if a skinny girl is a master of martial arts a big bouncer with no real training will win in a fight. No. Being big doesn't mean you win. Nogueira vs. Sapp This was back when Sapp was a beast, mauling everyone.Agreed. There's a woman in my dojo who is one of the most proficient martial artists I've ever met, and she can take down men twice her size when we practie kumite. Her front kick could send me through a window. There's also a san-dan who is shorter than me who practices a couple other arts who is a beast. It's not just about power. Technique, speed, mentality, spirit, precision, all enter the equation, so fighting isn't as one sided as one may think.
To comment on the other point, you are correct. It is an atrocity how some "masters" hand out their blackbelts like candy. "Pay me this amount and I'll rank you up." If you fatten their wallets, they'll promote you, and they'll take 100 students at a time. How much of a quality master is your sensei when he takes 100 students under his wing and sees you as just another paycheck? People think they're martial arts masters when they become black belt, then they run away and leave their sensei thinking they're hot stuff and have mastered everything, when in reality the martial arts is a LIFE LONG COMMITMENT. At black belt rank, that's when the training JUST BEGINS! I've had horrible experiences with "mcDojos" in my past, and I'm so happy that I found a true traditional place to practice. One that lives for the love of the art and not the greed.
TLDR: I'm not saying you're wrong, obviously the odds are in favor of the behemoth, but it's not utterly impossible for the smaller woman to win if she's proficient and is smart
