Question - Sumo vs. Jujitsu

[Men the Master]

Last time I asked who you guys would pick in a no-holds barred fight between Olympic gold medal winning wrestler Rulon Gardner versus an Olympic gold medal judo fighter named Yoshida. You guys convinced me the latter would win.

Now, it just got announced that on the same card a 500 pound sumo wrestler named Akebono will be fighting a 180 pound jujitsu fighter name Royce Gracie. Who do you think will win? I pick the 500 pounder, of course!

Where can I make a bet on this thing?

[wacki]

My money is on Gracie. I've seen that stuff live. I still can't get over how easily those guys can break bones with a simply joint-lock or hold.

Royce Gracie is still fighting? He was the baddest of the bad back in the day. I would pick Gracie.

In these matches, the big sumo guy always loses.

MMA fights are more about the fighters than their "style" per se. One of the boring but true facts of fighting is that conditioning matters a lot, and a big fat sumo dude will gas very easily. Gracie has fought (and defeated) much heavier opponents in the past, though not as heavy as a sumo dude.

I'm sure his opponent will crosstrain and all, but he's toast. Gracie should be at least an 8:1 favorite.

Ok, the 500 pounder wins, its so obvious. Dont tell me you guys don't know of the game Street Fighter? Anyone want to play me for a million bucks? I'll take E. Honda, you can have the rest of the guys put together, sumo guys are unstoppable, video games do not lie. Especially Street Fighter.

Very good point. On a related note: Anyone wanna play me in Dead or Alive 3 for a million bucks? Ill take Christina you can have anyone else. She is such a copy of E. Honda except that game is cooler cause you can use it to re-name your Xbox.

[Rounder041]

E. Honda, no question, you telling me you've taken out E. Honda? You are lying and I can tell, E.Honda is unstoppable, back in the day we would have Street Fighter tournaments, after about 2 tournaments, we would just put our money in the prize pool, draw a Street Fighter character from a hat, and whoever got E. Honda would take the prize pool and the rest of us would sigh. We wouldn't bother playing, there was no point. E. Honda by a landslide.

Let us know the result. Who won the first fight, the Judo guy or the wrestler?
