How Important Is Size at UFC 100 - How Important Is Size at UFC 100?

Many believe that tomorrow's UFC 100 event could be the greatest in the history of the sport. After all, there are three fights- Georges St. Pierre vs. Thiago Alves, Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping, and Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir- that would be solid stand alone main events on any given night. Two of these fights, by the way, hold one similar characteristic in common.

One of the storylines is size.

When Georges St. Pierre takes on Thiago Alves he will be dealing with a bigger fighter for perhaps the first time in his career (Josh Koscheck was also big). Will that make the difference when Alves goes into takedown defense mode? Will that size advantage be enough to lift him to victory? And how about when Lesnar takes on Mir? Read anything on Lesnar and you're almost sure to hear about his freakish size and athleticism. That said, everyone knows that Mir is a far more schooled mixed martial artist. But can Lesnar's wrestling, hard work, and ridiculous size/power outdo Mir's MMA experience advantage?

We'll see. What we do know is that UFC 100 is about size in a big way.
