Answer 1

Bro, stick to your strengths and his weaknesses. Too easy.  

Answer 2

Answer 3

i tried lookin for the Tim Sylvia vs Randy Couture fight on you tube but couldnt find it....you should check it out....same situation, the guy had a half a foot advantage, some of the best boxing in the game, and inferior ground game, but as much as i hate to say it, cuz Sylvia is one of my fav fighters, he got demolished that day by the much smaller Couture

size difference.......

Answer 4

Are you talking Boxing or MMA????  I can give you a lot of boxing advice since I have boxed for a number of years.  And I have similar size disadvantages.  But if you are talking MMA and fighting on the ground, I can't help you.  I don't train in that style of fighting and I don't really watch it.
