dude... it was just an exhibition thing, not a real fight. M-1 needs to make sure nobody forgets about Fedor & M-1 Global when it takes forever to get another fight card together... but it's not uncommon for for events that are more about the roots of MMA, not strict weight divisions like boxing. When it's just grappling & submissions without any strikes involved, weight isn't as much of a factor as skill & conditioning. do.
Take a minute from the obvious knee-jerk reaction of laughing at the huge weight gap & go look up some people like Marcelo Garcia... guys who are small like Aoki, and almost always wins his fights (usually against people 3 or 4 weight divisions heavier) in ways that look easy for Garcia, but take a hard toll on the opponent.
Or study up on how a small man in Japan took the best parts from the many different styles of Jiu-Jitsu to make Judo... a much superior fighting style that is the real foundation for what people wrongly call Brazilian (or Gracie) "Jiu-Jitsu" that any MMA fighter who wants to be around awhile must have on his resume to be taken seriously. If you look at how the way the rest of the planet (other than the USA, I mean) understand how technique can more than make up for being smaller &/or lighter than the other guy.

oh, sorry herm... forgot to thank you for the release before going off on that rant. It's a touchy subject around my place... had to explain it too many times to people who only see a small part of what fighting sports/competition are really about over the 25+ years I've studied Judo & mow BJJ/MMA.

All I can say is KIMURA! :) BJJ is a Japanese import.

The kimura was named after the judoka Masahiko Kimura, who used it to defeat one of the founders of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Hélio Gracie.
