As long as it stayed a stand up fight, most likely. Would I do it? Not a chance. I want to win fair, not because I utilized technicalities to win. For me, in competition, I'm not all about the "w". I'm more about the experience. I've had quite the life so far. I've experienced riding bulls, repelling, crosscountry hiking, deep sea fishing, noodling, small cliff jumping, hang gliding, piloting a plane (even though the actual pilot was right there), "driving" a submarine, raced cars, boxing, and most recently martial arts. I live for the experience guys....And to me, I want to fight someone MY SIZE, not someone larger who just lost weight last night so he could weigh the same as me.
Now, as I stated before, everyone does it, so it DOES even out in that aspect I guess. And maybe living for the experience, and not the "w", is why I'm not a national champion....LOL | That would be why  Quote:
