That's not the point. Is the woman a better BJJ artist, not stronger, but better due to there body makeup. Can they execute better BJJ holds? Can they put more hold on from the guard.?

I don't think I want to answer that question. I'd be kind of embarassed if my girlfriend slapped a triangle or an armbar on me when I was "in her guard".

technically women shouldnt have a tighter guard because of this discrepancy in strength between the two races. they might compensate by being slicker technicians, but they might noe be able to hold or tie down the opponent as well.
if you took a top female BJJ at the same weight as a male BJJ guy, its unlikely that she would win, because when two people of a similar technical level compete, it becomes an issue of athleticism as well.
