Standing at only 5'10" and weighing in at a very normal 210 lbs, Daniel Bryan is a regular guy surrounded by giants. WWE is rife with 260-300 lb Superstars that tower over him and have him virtually outgunned in every way. Bryan is called the company's biggest underdog for a reason; because he is. But start a fight with him and he can lock you up tighter than Fort Knox. This is the biggest reason why Daniel Bryan would be in the fight despite who he was facing. Strength, size and experience are all great and they all have a lot to do with a guy being able to hold his own in a real life fight. But once he is locked up, he's locked up and it's extremely hard to get out. This is what Daniel does best and anyone that challenged him in a real world situation would have to know the right way to counter him to not only stay on his feet but stay in the fight. That is how good Bryan is. He has speed, he has agility and he has the ability to use leverage to his advantage every time he locks in a submission move. While those moves are obviously not used to hurt his WWE opponents, they could very easily be used to break a guy's bones and tear cartilage out in the real world if need be. That is why Daniel is dangerous outside the ring. He can be overpowered and he can be overwhelmed but once he has you, he has you. And when he does, he's not letting go. Tap out all you want, it won't help you.
