Funnily enough I think you would be amazed if you saw the Sumo Wrestlers stretch. The genuine Japanese Sumo's can all do the splits.
I don't think we have yet seen a REAL highly ranked Sumo Wrestler in a MMA competition. Of course their own art is about varying ways to push and pull an opponent out of a small area. But I'm sure that man of them have fighting experience in other arts.
And they are not pure fat by any means. Most have an over generous surrounding of podge, but there is alot of muscle underneath.
I would love to see what happened if a genuine Japanese champion entered the Octagon.
